Let Me Stay The Night

Yosef hastily picked up the bowl of oatmeal as if his life depended on it.

Narrowing his eyes, Nathaniel glared at the other man coldly. He should’ve done this from the very beginning. Then, he wouldn’t have gotten scalded.

Meanwhile, Christina took advantage of the lull and told Yosef about her plan to organize a fashion show.

When Yosef heard that, a wealth of warmth suffused him, and his gaze softened significantly. “How would you manage by yourself? Let me get discharged and help you.”

“No, it’s okay. This isn’t my first time organizing a fashion show.” Guilt swamped Christina at the sight of his face, which was still swollen on one side.

At that, Yosef chuckled. “I remember how you were so panicked the first time you organized a fashion show. You were practically on the verge of tears as you forgot to prepare the music. Haha… It feels as though all that has just happened yesterday.”

Christina’s checks flushed bright red. She recalled her anxiousness in the past before she came to the point. where she could remain calm and unruffled at present. Indeed, he’d helped me a lot.

In the blink of an eye, all those memories vanished into thin air.

“Have a good rest. I’ll come over with good news after the fashion show tomorrow.” In truth, she still had something to say to the man.

However, she decided that she would only voice it tomorrow after the fashion show.

Nathaniel watched as they both chatted happily. Why was she never in such a good mood when she talked with me usually?

“I remember that you love the ice cream from Mauve Avenue. I’ll buy it for you when you’re discharged from the hospital. Also…”

Before she could finish speaking, Nathaniel stepped forward and grabbed her hand before heading out with great strides.

The green-eyed monster was the root of rashness, and Nathaniel understood the meaning of that saying all too well at that moment.

Like a rabbit being dragged away by a lion, Christina struggled to keep pace with the man.

Jealousy pervaded Nathaniel. Why does she see other people’s goodness alone and not mine?

After leaving the hospital, they got into the car.

During the drive back, Christina glanced sideways and studied Nathaniel’s expression. His face was seemingly concealed in shadows, yet his gaze still radiated an authoritative aura through his sunglasses.

She lowered the car window, allowing the cool breeze to enter the vehicle. “When I go back, I’ll definitely. tell Nathaniel to give you a bonus. You’re really loyal to him and dedicated to your job.”

Parting his lips a fraction, Nathaniel replied, “Mr. Hadley loves you beyond words. Please also empathize with him and understand him.”
