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

“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.”

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.”
