Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Teach Her A Lesson

The family dinner was a solemn affair. However, beneath the table, there was something else happening between Christina and Nathaniel.

When the man’s warm hand came to rest on Christina’s knee, her body trembled in shock, and she nearly dropped the piece of meat.

Tilting her head, she glared at him surreptitiously to tell him to cut it out..

Yet, it only caused Nathaniel to be amused. Meeting her widened eyes, he found her anxious demeanor endearing and utterly adorable.

He then ignored the warning look in her eyes and continued eating in an elegant manner akin to a prince’s.

Christina was the most impressed by how he could maintain a tranquil expression throughout it all, as though he was not the one touching her knee beneath the table.

His mastery in masking his real emotions reminded her of an experienced magician.

When his hand stopped moving across her thigh, Christina assumed that he no longer found it fun, so she proceeded to ignore him.

No sooner had she crammed the meat into her mouth and began to chew than she suddenly coughed. and expelled the contents of her mouth onto the face of Emilia, who had been seated directly across from her.

A deathly hush fell over the dining table. No one expected Christina to be capable of doing something as rude as spitting out food during the meal.

Emilia came to her senses and belatedly realized that Christina had spat food on her face, causing her delicate makeup to be ruined entirely,

“Ah! Christina, why are you so uncouth? This is disgusting!” she screamed tearfully as she ran away.

At that sight, the housekeepers could not help but snicker among themselves.

Gideon had hoped to have Emilia showcase her best qualities in front of Nathaniel so as to make a good impression on the latter, but his hopes were dashed.

He glowered at the housekeepers to stop them from laughing at his beloved daughter.
