Let Me Stay The Night

Christina reached out to get the scarf from him, intending to sniff at it herself, but Nathaniel held it out of her reach.

“We don’t know if the scent is harmful, so you better stay away from it. I’ll fill the bathtub with warm water so you can take a bath,” Nathaniel told her. Worried about the possibility of the scent lingering on her clothes, he quickly grabbed a bag and placed the scarf inside, tying it tightly. “I’ll arrange for the scarf to be tested, and once we have the results, I’ll inform you”

Christina followed him up the stairs and said thoughtfully, “I didn’t touch anything scented today before leaving home. I hugged my mom at the hospital, but I believe she’s not the culprit given how much she adores Lucas and Camila.”

Nathaniel assured her, “I, too, believe she wouldn’t commit such an unspeakable act.”

Christina racked her brains for a while before something occurred to her. “That reminds me of something. Last night, I attended a fashion party and crossed paths with Emilia. I believe I detected this very scent on her.”

Regret washed over Christina as she realized she had been too preoccupied with catching up to Anya that she overlooked this crucial clue.

Christina padded into the bathroom with her furry pajamas while Nathaniel went downstairs to prepare some snacks for her.

After finishing the snacks, Nathaniel took a short one-hour nap with Christina before heading to work. He didn’t forget to hand the package containing the scarf to his assistant, who occupied the passenger seat.

“Run tests on this scarf and the handmade velvet flower in the box to find out if the scents on both items match,” he ordered.

“Yes.” His assistant didn’t probe further and took the package. “Mr. Hadley, as per your instructions, I’ve sent someone to monitor Anya closely. Her behavior has been quite peculiar lately. Since arriving in Jadeborough, she has only ventured out of her house once to attend a fashion party. After that, she has remained holed up in her house, relying solely on food deliveries. Her curtains are always drawn, and there are instances where she doesn’t even bother to switch on the lights.”
