Let Me Stay The Night

Christina stopped in her tracks right after she turned around. She hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

Before she could say anything, Nathaniel walked in.

Christina followed behind him and realized there was nothing in his hands.

I’ve been conned again!

Christina stopped him and questioned, “Didn’t you say you brought the divorce agreement? Why are your hands empty?”

Nathaniel’s brows twitched, and he took out a contract from his pocket. “Take your time reading it.”

Christina didn’t expect him to be so straightforward. Just as she was about to open and read it, she heard Lucas and Camila.

“Daddy!”

The two kids hadn’t seen their father for almost a week, so they immediately climbed up Nathaniel’s legs.

Nathaniel bent over slightly, carried them up, and planted a kiss on each of their faces. “Did you guys behave when I’m not here?”

“Of course!” Camila blinked confidently. Nathaniel’s heart melted at the sight of that.

Lucas pouted. “Daddy, you haven’t come to play with us for a long time. Did you forget that this is your home?”

Nathaniel kissed his forehead. “I have been busy these past few days, so I couldn’t play with you guys. What kind of gifts do you like?”

“Dolls!”

“Model airplanes!”

Nathaniel put them down. “All right. I’ll ask my assistant to bring them to you guys tomorrow.”

Christina walked over and brought the two kids to their rooms. “You guys can draw in your rooms first. I need to discuss something with Daddy.”

The two children assumed their parents needed some time together, so they went back to their rooms obediently.
