Let Me Stay The Night

The worried Nathaniel ran up to her. “Christina, listen to me.”

“I don’t want to! Your actions speak louder than your words.”

As Christina glowered at him, the look in her eyes resembled a shattered mirror where a whole reflection would never form.

Nathaniel had never felt so pathetic before, as he didn’t know what to say to assuage her anger.

The few seconds of silence felt like an eternity to him.

With an expression that was as icy as a frozen lake in winter, Christina turned around and stormed off to the hotel.

She couldn’t believe how she was played by Nathaniel like an idiot.

As Nathaniel followed quietly behind her, he maintained a cold yet intent stare on her slender silhouette.

Once Christina returned to the hotel and walked into her room, she slammed the door shut behind her.

Inside, she took out two bottles of cold mineral water and finally calmed herself down after gulping them down.

Even though the current situation simply felt awful to her, Lucas and Camila were still waiting for her return at Scenic Garden Manor. Not wanting to waste any more time. Christina packed her bags and opened the door.

Standing there was a towering figure whose muscular chest was so wide that it blocked the entire entrance.

Nathaniel had put his face mask back on, leaving only his eyes exposed. He stood there motionless, just like a statue.

In fact, he didn’t dare move aside for fear that Christina would disappear in an instant, a repeat of what happened four years ago.

The fleetingness of how she came and went was a bane to his sense of security.

When Christina noticed his empty hands, she figured that he didn’t return to his room to pack. Even if I were a prisoner, there’s no need to watch me so closely.

From her perspective, she was treated worse than one.

With her luggage in tow, Christina walked past Nathaniel and ran the wheels of her bag over his shoe as if to demonstrate the dissatisfaction within her.
