Let Me Stay The Night

Helen had been waiting for them at the door. As their car pulled up outside the Hadley residence, she quickly turned over her shoulder and reported happily, “Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, they’re here!”

Charlie and Julia made their way to the door, witnessing Nathaniel and Christina approaching the house. each holding one of their children.

“Grandpa, Grandma!” Lucas and Camila released their parents’ hands and ran to their grandparents.

“Oh, Lucas, Camila.” Julia bent down to give her grandchildren a warm hug.

It was clear that they adored their grandchildren.

Both Charlie and Julia entered the house, each holding one kid.

Nathaniel and Christina were left behind, forgotten by everyone else.

Silently, they followed everyone into the house.

Nathaniel and Christina took their places at the end of the table.

An array of dishes were served, carefully selected to cater to the children’s preferences.

The elderly couple were fond of their grandchildren.

After serving the children, Julia turned to Christina. “Christina, cat up. You’ve lost weight, I see.”

“Okay, Mom.” Christina didn’t feel overlooked or ignored in the slightest. On the contrary, she cherished. the harmonious atmosphere that enveloped the Hadley residence.

It was a stark contrast to the tense and uncomfortable environment she had experienced with the Gibson. family.

Nathaniel, who was sitting beside Christina, kept piling her plate with food. As the dinner came to an end, she realized that she had consumed more food than she typically did.

Christina glared at Nathaniel but still gobbled up the food he served her.

Charlie and Julia took in their affectionate actions.

They were secretly pleased that the old grudge between the Hadley family and the Gibson family didn’t drive a wedge between the couple.
