Let Me Stay The Night

Nathaniel knew from Christina’s incomparably righteous words that she would not act rashly due to family ties.

In truth, he did not care if the Gibson family used terrible means to exact revenge on him and the Hadley family. The Gibson family making use of Christina to deal with him was what truly concerned him, as only she and their children were his weaknesses in this world.

Christina is my everything!

“Christina, although the Hadley family and the Gibson family have long–standing grudges, and you and I are husband and wife, I don’t want you to let these reasons affect your perception of the Gibson family, let alone choose to be ruthless to yourself out of guilt toward me,” Nathaniel said with a clear head.

Christina locked her gaze on him and articulated each word clearly. “I know what I’m doing.”

She stood up and sat beside Nathaniel, pressing in close to the familiar scent of his body.

“Do you remember what I said to you? Wherever you and the children are is where I belong. It’s true that I am a member of the Gibson family, and I am willing to do my part for the family, but I am not going to follow their orders blindly. I made a mistake once, and I’m not going down that road again.”

Christina firmly believed that the Hadley family would never plot against the Gibson family back then, even though there was a lack of evidence to support their innocence currently. Someone must’ve deliberately led them astray, resulting in the feud between the two families that continues to this day.

“I won’t let down your efforts and dedication. I’ll get to the bottom of it,” Nathaniel responded vehemently.

Christina felt like she was bathed in the springtime morning sun with warmth enveloping her body. “The food is getting cold. Eat up. I’ll get you a glass of water. Don’t drink coffee all the time. It’s not good for your stomach.”
