Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Come Closer

The temperature inside the car was a little low.

Christina, remaining quiet like a child, sat up straight and placed her restless hands on her knees while waiting

for Nathaniel to speak. Will he find another excuse to bring me back to the Hadley residence and say my work will affect the Hadley family’s reputation because I’m showing myself publicly? I escaped that place with so much difficulty the last time. I doubt I’ll get to leave again if I am forced to return there this time.

Nathaniel sat beside her. His shirt was buttoned all the way up, accentuating the captivating outline of his manly Adam’s apple, muscular neck, and chiseled jawline.

A soft glow filtered in through the car window and illuminated his profile. Half of his extraordinarily handsome face was covered in shadows, adding a hint of indifference and mystery to his usual vibe.

Christina fell into a daze, watching him. How many women must he have enthralled with that bewitching face of his?

Sensing the admiration in her eyes, he curled his lips into a faint smile. “Feel free to look at me openly as you wish. After all, I’m considered yours.”

She blushed crimson after listening to his meaningful words. After getting caught red-handed for peeking at him, she became too embarrassed to gaze at him.

The temperature inside the car continued to drop, causing Christina to sneeze due to the cold. She was about to ask Sebastian to turn up the heat when a large palm grasped her slim shoulder.

Nathaniel gently pulled her into his embrace. “You won’t feel cold if you come a little closer.”

She lowered her head, not daring to meet his stunning countenance. Every moment spent with him felt like torture now.

He took in her demeanor and waited a long while before uttering nonchalantly, “How’s your new job?”

She was slightly taken aback. I can’t believe he’s expressing his concern about my work. Is this an opening speech before he asks me to go back to his house?

“It’s quite nice,” she answered truthfully.

The air seemed to turn chillier. Even her fingertips started feeling numb, and her thin shoulders. trembled from the cold. Creases formed on the hem of her skirt as she clutched her garment.
