Let Me Stay The Night

The trio took their seats simultaneously. Christina sat beside Nathaniel, feeling nervous as she did not know what Charlie wanted to talk about.

To Julia and Charlie, Christina had already severed ties with the Gibsons and no longer had anything to do with them.

Christina did not want Nathaniel’s parents to know that the Gibsons had contacted her again. After all, the Gibsons only had two motives for doing so-vengeance and money.

Charlie began solemnly, “I’ve been following the news on the internet for the past two days. Don’t feel pressured, Christina. We believe you have nothing to do with the Gibson family’s predicament. However, they’re still your family, so go ahead and deal with those matters. Don’t shoulder everything on your own. Have Nathaniel help you. If he wouldn’t, come to me for assistance.”

Nathaniel wrapped an arm around Christina’s waist before his father and declared domineeringly, “Christina is my wife. Of course I will protect and support her.”

Charlie glared at his son before mercilessly exposing him.

“You used to be a workaholic. Your mother and I thought you would be married to your work if you didn’t marry Christina and have a child.”

“Like you said, that was before. I’ve made a great effort to change to become a worthy husband and father.”

Noticing that the father-and-son duo were about to start arguing. Christina hastily stepped forward to diffuse the situation.

“Nathaniel treats me well, Dad. He even puts work aside to care for me. 1, on the other hand, am to blame for causing him trouble.”

Nathaniel tightened his grip around her waist. “I don’t think of it as trouble, Christina. It makes me happy that you trust me and rely on me.”

His sweet and affectionate words made her heart melt. Blushing all the way to the tips of her ears, she did not dare look up to meet Charlie’s gaze.

Can’t Nathaniel read the room before saying sweet nothings?

Charlie similed in contentment as he witnessed the young couple’s loving interaction. “Your mother and 1 are glad to see how happy the both of you are.”
