Let Me Stay The Night

Christina turned to gaze at Lyle. “What did he leave me?”

“I’m sorry, but according to Mr. Hadley’s orders, I cannot give you the item unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Nevertheless, Christina’s focus was not on the item that Nathaniel had left for her. Now that she had uncovered the reason behind his trip abroad, her next course of action was to wait for him to contact her.

Despite Christina’s efforts to convince herself not to worry about Nathaniel, there was no denying that she was unable to fully control her own actions.

That night, she couldn’t avoid the restless grip of insomnia.

The following morning. Christina appeared in the dining room, visibly worn out. She half-heartedly had a couple of bites of breakfast, declining Raymond’s suggestion to have a doctor come and check on her.
