Let Me Stay The Night

“Nathaniel, L…” Christina felt her heart sink to the bottom of her stomach in despair, causing her immense discomfort.

Nathaniel wrapped an arm around her shoulder and massaged her brows. “It’s going to be fine. Leave this

to me.”

“But-”

“Take care of the kids. Trust me,” Nathaniel asserted.

Christina’s brows knitted together. Left with no other choice, she nodded in agreement. “Okay. Let’s keep in touch with each other.”

At that, Nathaniel spun on his heels and left with the file.

Christina felt a deep sense of remorse as she watched him walk away. She could tell that he had prepared the gifts with care, knowing the importance of their visit to the Gibson family.

Alas, all of his efforts were in vain, and it pained her to see him hurt in such a way.

Christina’s eyes were burning as she turned to look at Azure. “Grandma, you’ve disappointed me.”

“He’s my husband. Besides, that accident wasn’t his fault!” Christina protested as tears glistened in her

eyes.

Biting her lip. Christina demanded, “Lucas and Camila are your grandchildren. How could you use them. as pawns to fulfill your own desires? What will happen when they discover the truth when they’re older? Won’t they be furious with you?”

Isn’t she afraid the kids will blame her when they grow up?

Azure scowled. “That’s it. We’ll talk about that later. For now, he has to fulfill the agreement.”
