Let Me Stay The Night

The advice Nathaniel offered wasn’t to encourage Christina to confront Winston directly. He simply wanted to let her know he would do whatever it took to fulfill her desires. L

Even if he had to pay a dear price, he would safeguard her.

Having spent a long time with Nathaniel, Christina had reached a level of tacit understanding with him and was willing to accept his intention.

“I know what to do.” A hint of haughtiness flashed across her eyes as she blinked. “If I acquire important clues from Winston about the past, fail to control myself, and end up crippling him, you have to protect me.”

Nathaniel scratched her palm lightly with his fingers. “Do as you please. Winston won’t dare to cause you any harm.”

“Where’s the lounge? Let’s hurry over.” Christina could hardly suppress her excitement to stir up trouble, yearning to meet the well-known figure. Winston, in person.

Nathaniel held Christina in a protective stance while leading her toward the lounge.

When the two were passing through a garden, they heard a commotion resonating across the night sky.

Christina didn’t want to meddle in others’ affairs, but one of the voices sounded too familiar.

She stopped in her tracks and turned toward the source of the noise.

Nathaniel frowned. “Christina, do you want to go over and watch what’s happening?”

Now that Christina was pregnant, Nathaniel wasn’t fond of her mingling in crowded and chaotic places. After all, if there was any pushing or uproar, she might easily get hurt by accident.

The high-end banquet venue was filled with members from prestigious families and celebrities. Arguments were commonly seen during such occasions as those elites of the society fought to be in the limelight. Bullying others on the spot had become a norm for them to satisfy their desire for victory.

Christina uttered, “I think I just heard Bailey’s voice. I have to go over and take a look.”

She quickly slipped out of Nathaniel’s arms and hastened toward the center of the ruckus.
