Let Me Stay The Night

Listening to her sarcastic comments didn’t bother Christina much. After all, bickering with Anya was better than being surrounded by a group of men.

However, what surprised her was that the men beside her found her identity even more intriguing. “Where is your husband from? Is he also from Hallsbay?” one of them asked.

“If he’s from Hallsbay, there’s no reason for us not to know each other, right?” another chimed in.

Christina’s expression slightly faltered, and she reluctantly explained with a wry smile, “We’re actually getting a divorce, so there’s no need to know his identity.”

She didn’t want to make a big deal out of her current relationship with Nathaniel.

“Getting a divorce? Then it’s even more important for us to exchange contact information, someone said as he took out his phone to ask for Christina’s number. Others followed suit, eager to exchange contact details.

Anya wondered if she had misheard those men.

Are these people really fighting over Christina’s number? Is she really that attractive?

Christina had no choice but to lic, claiming that she didn’t have her phone with her. “I’m sorry, I need to use the restroom.”

With that, she briskly walked away.

A few minutes later, she walked to the hall and found that preparations for the charity auction had begun.

The auction items were displayed on individual platforms covered in transparent glass cases, making them both visible to the guests and aesthetically pleasing.

Christina walked over, scanning for a reasonably priced item that she could win in one go. The sooner she completed her task, the sooner she could go home and report to her grandmother.

Soon, she spotted a diamond necklace that caught her eye. Given that there were about twenty carats, Christina believed that a bidding price of five million would be sufficient.
