Let Me Stay The Night

When Christina’s lips bumped into Nathaniel’s cheek, his faint woody scent filled her nostrils and left her in a daze. A few seconds later, she jolted back.

Ever since the children barged into the room the last time, Christina would always keep a safe distance from him whenever they were out.

Meanwhile, Lucas and Camila were already awake by the time the car arrived at Scenic Garden Manor.

A short nap was all the kids needed to reinvigorate themselves.

After alighting from the car, both of them played ball in the courtyard. Christina was watching them she received Rayne’s call.

She subsequently headed to the study and borrowed Nathaniel’s computer for work.

However, before she could start, she heard Anya’s voice in the background. “Grandma, did Christina say when she’ll be back?”

Anya is with Grandma?

Christina didn’t want to alert Anya of her plan yet. Besides, her words wouldn’t carry much impact since she wasn’t by Azure’s side.

Holding that thought, she suppressed her anger and decided to hold Anya accountable only upon her return
