Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 537 Trauma 

Nathaniel only managed to sleep for a little over two hours. The unfamiliar surroundings made him feel unsettled, but he found comfort in having Christina by his side.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Christina propping her head up with one hand while her delicate fingers lightly pinched his well-defined nose bridge.

Their eyes met, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in the woman’s gaze; she resembled a mischievous child caught in the act by a parent.

While Christina was caught off guard by Nathaniel’s sudden awakening, he stared at her fixedly.

Embarrassed, Christina hastily withdrew her hand, her eyes shifting as she attempted to conceal her unusual behavior. “Um… There was a mosquito on your nose, and I was just trying to swat it. It’s not what you think.”

She felt a pang of regret as she noticed Nathaniel’s peculiar gaze, realizing that her words had only made the situation worse.

Just then, Nathaniel grabbed her hand and pulled her to him. “What was I thinking?”

Her heart started to race when she felt his warm breath brushing against her face; the man’s overwhelming seductive aura was utterly captivating.

Nathaniel leaned closer, determined to elicit a response. “Christina, tell me.”

There was no avoiding the topic any longer.

Resigned, Christina briefly closed her eyes, then quickly reopened them.

As she gazed into Nathaniel’s slightly fatigued yet still commanding face, she lowered her eyes and softly confessed, “I simply wanted to touch you. Please, don’t ask anymore-

Before she could finish her sentence, Nathaniel unexpectedly took her hands and pressed them against his face. He said gently. “Everything I possess belongs to you. Feel free to touch; there’s no need to do it secretly.”

After over five years of marriage, Nathaniel could sense the hidden insecurities Christina harbored although she never explicitly expressed herself.

Experiencing two consecutive dangers within a month had scared Christina, no matter how strong she appeared on the surface.
