Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 261

Chapter 261 The Scapegoat

Sebastian stood awkwardly at the doorstep with his hands full of food containers. He wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and bury himself in it.

“Mr. Hadley, we’ve finished packing the food.”

Nathaniel’s stern countenance was icy, and his jaw was stiff. “Right.”

Sebastian robotically placed all the food and arranged them before promptly excusing himself.

The room fell back into silence once the door was shut.

“Didn’t you say you were hungry? Come on out and eat.” Nathaniel directed his words at Christina, curled up in a ball.

She gingerly stuck her head out once she’d confirmed no one else was around. Her stomach grumbled even more at the sight of the table arrayed with her favorite delicacies.

Christina was positively famished. She’d lost her appetite since being down with the flu during the competition. Moreover, she’d blacked out for an entire day due to the incident after that. As such, it would have been almost two days since she’d last eaten.

Christina stuffed her mouth full of meat and gobbled it down, appearing to be sating her hunger instead of savoring the taste of the food.

“Darling, you should stop staring at me and dig in.” She paused mid-chew and cocked her head at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel had never left her side for the past few days and ate far less than she did.

“I’m not hungry. I’m fine watching you enjoy your food.” Nathaniel surveyed the food before him and contemplated whether or not it was enough for Christina.

Christina served him a piece of meat she’d bitten into. “Eating alone is so meaningless. The food tastes so much better when we’re eating together. Your presence even seemed to make my injuries more bearable.”
