Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Who Is Paying

The atmosphere at the table was slightly awkward. Christina took a sip of water and spoke plainly. “Since you all seem to have finished your meals, it’s time to pay the bill.

The crowd was disappointed. “You’re no fun, Christina.”

Just as they were going to ask more questions, Gina stopped them. Meanwhile, Anna hailed a server to pay the bill because she couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Soon, a server entered the room with a credit card machine. “Thank you for spending eighty thousand. Who’ll be paying for it?”

The crowd turned their attention to Christina.

In response, the server approached her. “Will you be paying with a card or WhatsApp, miss?”

Christina started sweating bullets. I didn’t pay attention to the price when I came here with Nathaniel for a meal last time, so I didn’t expect eating here would be this expensive. Then again, if it’s a place he picks, then there’s no doubt it’s expensive. I don’t think I have much money left on my card after paying Mom’s hospital fee and Granny’s living expenses. What do I do? I can’t pay the bill, but I can’t ask my colleagues to do it either.

Moments later, Anna approached her and questioned, “Christina, don’t tell me you don’t have a few tens of thousands.”

Abruptly, the table became unusually quiet. The others stared at Christina with mockery.

“Don’t tell us you didn’t get anything after being with Mr. Hadley for so long.”

“Maybe Mr. Hadley doesn’t care about her at all.”

Aside from Christina’s good looks, they didn’t believe she had any advantage that could win over Nathaniel’s heart.

They assumed those who dated prominent figures like Nathaniel would automatically have a black card, branded items, and a fancy mansion, among other things.

Therefore, when Christina didn’t immediately pay the bill, they concluded that Nathaniel was just playing with her.

The fact that she was cagey about her relationship with Nathaniel only strengthened their speculation.

A faintly tense expression was present on Christina’s face as she spoke calmly. “While Mr. Hadley and I are in a relationship, I’m not his sugar baby, so how rich he is has nothing to do with me.”
