Let Me Stay The Night

There was a ladder behind Christina, but there was nothing on either side of the ladder. It happened so suddenly that she couldn’t react in time.

Right as she reflexively held her tummy, someone wrapped an arm around her waist, and she felt a warm and familiar breath on her body.

Just like that, Christina fell into the man’s embrace and she heard the voice she had been missing.

“Are you all right?” Nathaniel asked, then shot Anya a piercingly cold look.

Christina nodded, looking pale. “I’m fine. I was just startled.”

Nathaniel’s gaze was filled with murderous infent as he glared at Anya.

Anya’s expression contorted as she argued. “I didn’t push her! She lost balance on her own. 1-I saw her falling down, so I came to help her.”

“Anya tried to harm me. Why can’t I settle scores with her? If that were to happen to you, could you brush it off?” Christina sneered.
