Let Me Stay The Night

“What are you getting at? Do you not trust me?” Christina froze momentarily. I’m already leaving the children behind at Scenic Garden Manor, so it proves I have no choice but to leave for a while. If I were to leave and not return, I would bring the children with me.

Nathaniel’s eyes shone with determination when he answered, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. I’m just worried about you… Also, I want to help you.”

Christina stared at him dubiously.

Nathaniel was worried about her, but that was only one of the reasons he was refusing to let her leave. The other reason was that he couldn’t trust Francis or Yosef.

“I don’t need you to worry about me. If you want to help, please help me look after Camila and Lucas while I’m away” Christina wanted to leave with her luggage in her grip.

However, the man before her wouldn’t budge.

Christina then bit her lip lightly and grumbled. “If you stop me, you’ll only remind me of the time when you kept me in Scenic Garden Manor against my will! Do you want me to recall how domineering, ruthless, and annoying you were?”

Christina’s words were as sharp as daggers.

Although they had already cleared up most of the misunderstandings between them, Christina was still brooding over the things he did to her back then.

Nathaniel knew Christina was angry, but he was worried about letting her travel abroad on her own.

After mulling over it for a while, he said. “You can go, but you must let me assign you a bodyguard to keep you safe. He won’t stop you from doing anything. His only job is to protect you.”

Is he really sending someone to monitor me? Christina wasn’t pleased.

Before Christina could utter a word in response, Nathaniel said authoritatively. “If you don’t let me do that, I won’t let you leave.”

Christina checked the time and noticed that she was late by almost half an hour. Since she couldn’t convince him otherwise, she had to give in.

“Fine. I need to leave now,” Christina responded. Well, I guess it’s good to have someone protecting me. After all, dangerous situations might arise when I’m abroad.

“I’ll get the driver to send you to the airport and arrange a private plane for you,” he said.

“Okay.”
