Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 185

Chapter 185 The Nasty Aunt

Nathaniel stepped forward to greet Sharon. “Mom.”

He might not be a man of many words, but his actions spoke volumes about his demeanor.

Christina linked arms with her mother and Nathaniel, leading them to the dining table. “Let’s dig in. I’m starving.”

The three of them sat at the table and began eating.

Christina was the only one chatting away during the meal. The household kitchen knew of her love for shrimp, and the chef would always prepare shrimp scampi when Christina was dining at home.

Nathaniel dutifully shelled the shrimp for her while she nattered away.

She made quick work of the shrimp and shot Nathaniel a doe–eyed look of anticipation.

Sharon watched on in disbelief as Nathaniel shelled each shrimp carefully and handfed Christina.

Is this really the proud, distant Mr. Hadley that everyone speaks of? I thought he would be some aloof man, but he’s so

sweet toward Christina!

Back then, Sharon had been bedridden for several days after learning that Gideon had married Christina off to the Hadley family for

money.

Sharon cleared her throat and said, “Christina, shell your own shrimp. Don’t dirty Nathaniel’s hands.”

A CEO’s hands are meant for more important things like holding a fountain pen and signing contracts.

Christina pouted and defended herself, “I’d love to shell my own shrimp, but Nathaniel won’t let me. He likes to do it for me. Isn’t that right, Nathaniel?”

“Yes.” He followed up with his brief reply by feeding Christina another freshly shelled shrimp.

Sharon cringed internally at their public display of affection.

Although the butler and the help were usually immune to the couple’s sappy behavior and Nathaniel’s penchant for romantic and cringeworthy gestures, they happened to let down their guard then and squirmed.

So… cringey.
