Let Me Stay The Night

Meanwhile, inside the police station, Gideon, bruised and battered, was crouched in a corner when he suddenly heard the police officer’s shout. “Gideon Steele, you can leave now!”

“Officer, can I really leave?” Gideon thought his ears were playing tricks on him.

He had been involved in a public brawl, and if nobody came to bail him, he was supposed to spend a night there.

“Yes. Someone has come to bail you.” The police officer unlocked the metal gate before Gideon as he spoke.

Gideon was momentarily dazed before stepping out from behind the gate.

He couldn’t guess who would come to get him. With a palpitating heart, he followed behind the officer. In those few short seconds, he considered everyone possible but never thought it would be Christina.

When Gideon saw Christina standing in the hall signing papers, he felt as if all the blood in his body had run cold. He stopped short and was rooted to his spot.

After she finished signing the papers and paid the fine, she glanced over and coincidentally noticed Gideon staring at her.

A complex range of emotions played across his face. Evidently, he had never thought she would be there to bail him out of jail.

In truth, Christina was also surprised by her decision to do that.

After exiting the police station, Christina and Gideon walked one after the other. Neither of them spoke.

“Christina!”

Just as Christina was about to step off the pavement, a Mercedes-Benz SUV pulled up in front of her. When the car window was rolled down. Nathaniel’s handsome face was revealed.

However, at that moment, his brows were furrowed, and a worried expression was spread across his countenance.

“Nathaniel?” Christina gazed at him in surprise.

Obviously, she hadn’t expected to run into him there.

Nathaniel hastily opened the door and got out of the vehicle. He carefully examined her body to check for any injuries, and only after ascertaining she was fine did he breathe a sigh of relief. Still, he couldn’t help but reprimand her, “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
