Let Me Stay The Night

When they had disembarked from the plane and walked out of the terminal, they spotted Jasper standing beside a black car, waiting for them.

Jasper immediately went up to them with all the enthusiasm in the world. He wanted to take Christina’s luggage from Lyle’s hand, only to stop short at the sharp look in the latter’s eyes.

Christina broke the tense atmosphere. “Why are you here?”

“Mr. Gibson had me come over to pick you up, Ms. Steele. He has already arranged the accommodations for you. There’s a storm at the cemetery, and that makes it difficult to relocate the grave. For that reason, he postponed the ceremony for tomorrow morning.”

Christina had no objections to that since her schedule was rather rushed. With a day to rest, she would have enough energy and strength to deal with all the tricky problems the next day.

“Thank you for coming all the way over. I’ve already booked a hotel, and it wouldn’t be wise for me and my father to have too much contact before tomorrow, Christina replied with a smile.

Jasper instantly understood her meaning. “Okay, I’ll convey your message to Mr. Gibson. Please excuse me, Ms. Steele.”

“Sure.” Christina watched as the man drove away.

Thereafter, she climbed into another black car parked by the side of the road. “Does the Gibson family know of my visit to Hallsbay?”

Considering the fact that she had decided to give the Gibsons a surprise, it went without saying that her whereabouts could not be allowed to leak out beforehand.
