Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Unrequited

She was greeted by a gust of cold air upon exiting the private room, dampening the warmth that had arisen in her.

Walking behind Nathaniel, Madison replayed the incident of him spurning Luke for her.

Mr. Hadley cares about me. He rejects another man’s advances toward me as soon as he sees his intentions.

Lowering her head, Madison smiled surreptitiously to herself.

As soon as they emerged from the hotel entrance, Sebastian sent Nathaniel home.

Madison stared until the black Maybach disappeared into the distance before looking away reluctantly.

It was late at night when he arrived back at Scenic Garden Manor.

Nathaniel pushed open the door and found Christina on the couch, exploring an illustration software on her tablet.

She wore her hair in a ponytail and was dressed in a long sleeping gown. She wore a pair of white socks, and the way her feet swung idly looked endearing.

Hearing the footsteps, Christina turned around. She narrowed her eyes. “Have you been smoking, Mr. Hadley?”

The stench of alcohol and burnt tobacco was especially pungent against the faint fragrance of the room.

Only when he sniffed his jacket did Nathaniel realize it stank. “I had business to discuss earlier.”

Like an agile kitten, Christina leaped off the couch and arrived before him in several quick strides. “At a karaoke lounge? Or a private room? Were there pretty girls to drink with you?”

Beautiful women are a dime in a dozen in places like those, with one to light one’s cigarette and another to pour one’s drinks. They’re all the same. Nathaniel is handsome. Surely there will be women who would throw themselves at him even without being paid to.
