Let Me Stay The Night

Silence ensued. Andrew grinned gloatingly. Children haven’t developed the awareness to protect their belongings yet. Hence, it’s the parent’s fault when the child’s obviously expensive hairpin is stolen!

What kind of reasoning is that? The look in Christina’s eyes darkened. “Based on your logic, are you saying if a person’s expensive handbag or money is stolen, it’s their fault for bringing it with them? In that case, why do we even need police officers?”

Andrew clearly had no refute for Christina’s questioning. His expression darkened as he remained silent.

However, Lola rebuked with disdain, “Who knows if she was wearing a real diamond hairpin? If it’s a fake, doesn’t that mean the police officers are wasting their time searching for something that costs a few dozen bucks?”

The atmosphere grew tense.

Just then, the door was opened again before Nathaniel stepped in with Lucas in his arms.

He ceased his movements, blocking the light with his towering figure, and stared at Christina and Camila. “Who’s bullying you?” L

Upon spotting her father, Camila pounced toward him and spoke aggrievedly. “It’s Heather’s fault my hairpin went missing, Daddy…”

She felt bad because the hairpin had been given to her by her father.

“No. It’s the custom-made diamond hairpin you bought me last month.”

At the side, Lucas acted as though he just discovered a huge secret. When did Daddy buy so many hairpins for Camila? He didn’t even buy me the limited-edition action figure I asked him to! Isn’t he just playing favorites?

The expressions on the assertive couple’s faces shifted the moment they saw Nathaniel.
