Let Me Stay The Night

Yerek’s eyes darkened. “Do you think Grandma didn’t know about these things? She’s much smarter than

Although their grandmother was getting old, she was a very sensible and reasonable person.

“Grandma said that if you don’t marry Christina you will never inherit the Gibson family business and shares. Yerek, I don’t want you to leave the family.”

At the thought of that, Anya could not conceal the traces of disappointment in her eyes. Christina was someone she loathed, after all. She’s not even that important of a person! Who cares if she comes back? Why must Grandma like her so much?

Yerck chuckled lightly as an unfathomable glint flashed across his eyes. “Don’t worry. It won’t be easy for Christina to walk away with the Gibson family’s shares.”

Meanwhile, it was very late when Christina returned to Scenic Garden Manor.

Once she entered the house, the dim lights were immediately turned on.

Nathaniel sat on the couch, and his gaze fell on Christina’s exhausted expression and wet eyelashes, “Did someone bully you?”

His tone was stern as if he would punish the person who bullied Christina when she replied to him.

She paused and replied softly. “It’s nothing.”

For the time being, she could not wrap her head around the fact that she was a member of the Gibson family, so she decided to inform Nathaniel about it at a later time.

He beckoned to her with his finger. His tone laced with a hint of authority, the man instructed, “Come over here.”

Christina walked over to him because she didn’t have the energy to argue with him after her exhausting night. When she got closer, Nathaniel reached out to grab her wrist and pulled her into his arms gently.

Christina remained still, allowing him to hug her. Perhaps she was too tired, as she fell asleep in Nathaniel’s arms after a while.

When she woke up the next day, she found herself lying in her bed, wearing her pajamas.

She changed her clothes and headed downstairs to have breakfast. Azure’s assistant also gave her a call. “Mrs. Lazuli is inviting you to her house for lunch. May I ask if you’re available, Ms. Gibson?”

The assistant had changed the way she addressed Christina, indicating that the Gibson family acknowledged her identity.

Christina pondered for a moment before she replied. “Okay, I’ll come over after I finish my work.”
