Let Me Stay The Night

Christina was not worried that she would be wronged. Nathaniel was with her, and this wonderful, clever man would definitely not let her suffer.

Her confidence in Nathaniel kept her calm as she fended herself against Barnaby’s questions and doubts.

“I’m fine.” Christina gave him a small smile.

Nathaniel shrugged out of his jacket and draped it over Christina’s shoulders. He looked at her with gen eyes, completely unaffected by the problem at hand.

“It may take some time to deal with this issue. Are you hungry? I’ll get someone to bring you some food.” he asked her casually.

Christina had been snacking on fruits earlier, so she shook her head and replied, “I’m not hungry.”

“If you start to feel tired, you must tell me. We’ll go home immediately and let Sebastian handle this on his own,” Nathaniel said softly into her ear.

Christina nodded gratefully. Wrapped up safely in Nathaniel’s love and affection, she really began to feel sleepy.

However, she shook off her drowsiness, reminding herself that the problem had been caused by her and that she should not be depending on Nathaniel to clean up her mess.

Sheridan felt a stab of envy watching the intimate interaction between the two of them, especially when he saw Christina smiling unabashedly at Nathaniel. He wished he could replace Nathaniel and be the only one in Christina’s eyes and heart.

Even though he knew that there was no hope for him to be with Christina, he still allowed himself to indulge in those feelings. By the time he snapped out of it, it was already too late.

Perhaps he had been staring too hard, and Nathaniel had sensed his eyes on Christina. Nathaniel raised b head and glared back at Sheridan with eyes full of warning.
