Let Me Stay The Night

When Christina left the hairstylist’s office, Nathaniel was already done with his haircut.

Usually, Nathamel would have lus bangs cut short, but he intentionally kept them slightly longer that time. The hairstylist combed up the left half of Nathaniel’s bangs, leaving the other half down where his eyebrow was visible. With his fair skin, his features looked refreshing yet solemn.

The current Nathaniel gave off a different feeling to Christina.

Why did he suddenly change his hairstyle? Don’t tell me he heard what I said to the hairstylist earlier about this type of short hairstyle would look nice.

When their gazes met, Christina broke the silence. “Let’s go. We should head back now.”

Nathaniel followed her out of the salon.

By the time they reached Scenic Garden Manor, it was already close to ten.

Lucas and Camila knew their parents were coming back that night, so they refused to return to their room despite it being bedtime.

With her favorite doll in her arm, Camila rested her head on her brother’s lean shoulder. Her eyelids fought to stay open.

Then, the sound of a car engine echoed outside.

As footsteps neared, Lucas’ and Camila’s eyes snapped wide open at the sight of Christina and Nathaniel. The children then hurriedly got up and skipped toward them like rabbits.

“Daddy, Mommy, we miss you both so much!”

“Why did you only get back now? I almost fell asleep waiting for you,” Camila complained.

The children clung to Christina and Nathaniel like little koala cubs.

Christina ruffled the children’s heads and gently said, “It’s late. Both of you should be in bed now. I’ll prepare breakfast for you tomorrow morning. How about that?”

“Okay, Mommy, can you carry me upstairs?” Lucas wrapped his arms tightly around his mother’s neck, burying his face into her nape. A sense of security washed over him as he breathed the familiar scent.

I really miss Mommy, but I’m also sleepy….

Christina carried him up the stairs while Nathaniel followed them with Camila in his arms.

“Daddy, you changed your hairstyle! You look so handsome!” Beaming at her father, Camila looked like the purest gem.

With such an adorable daughter, Nathaniel felt that he would do anything for her. Even if she asked for the stars, he would fly up into the sky to get them for her.
