Let Me Stay The Night

Anya’s expression swiftly turned grim. Since when did these two reconcile?

She replied softly. “That’s just because I want to keep the peace when we’re in public.”

“Does that mean you’re only nice in public but not at home?” Christina questioned, showing Anya no respect.

Anya could only scowl in response affer being left speechless by the scathing comment.

“Enough! Stop arguing,” Azure ordered in a solemn tone. She didn’t want them quarreling in front of her great-grandchildren.

After peace returned to the living room, Azure shifted her attention to Nathaniel. “The Gibson family knows what it takes to be a good host. It would be rude for us to kick you out, so please have a seat.”

Azure accorded Nathaniel due respect on the account that he was her great-grandchildren’s father.

Thereafter, Lucas and Camila brought out sweets of different flavors for Azure to try. The latter reacted with joy upon accepting the children’s gifts.

“Thank you for bringing me these delicious sweets. I, too, have presents for the two of you. Why don’t you come upstairs with me so that I can show you?” Azure asked with anticipation.

The children cheered, “Hurray! Let’s go!”

Their reaction drew a look of contempt from Anya, for she knew how expensive the gifts prepared by

Azure were.

The moment Azure was gone, Anya sneered, “As if your attempt to claim the family assets wasn’t enough. You even brought two more children to get a larger share. I can’t believe how disgusting you are.”

Before Christina could react, a towering figure preempted her by grabbing Anya’s throat.

“You!” Anya was stunned.

This is outrageous! How dare Nathaniel lay a finger on me in my own home?
