Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 293

Chapter 293 Crossed The Line

Christina felt her heart skip a beat. She grasped Sharon’s hand and exclaimed, “Mom, what are you saying? You’ll always be young in my heart!”

As she spoke, she leaned her head on Sharon’s shoulder.

Sharon massaged her daughter’s shoulder and tamped down the guilt in her chest. Sometime later, she uttered meaningfully. “Take good care of that emerald pendant I gave you. It’s very important.”

“Is it? Isn’t it just a piece of emerald jewelry?” Christina asked while lifting the pendant around her neck for a closer look.

The pendant gleamed resplendently under the light. Anyone could tell that it was carved from the finest jade.

An inexplicable emotion flitted through Sharon’s gaze as she stared at the pendant. She repeated herself, “Yes, it’s very important. It’s proof of your identity. You need it to trace your heritage. When you have your own child next time, pass it on to them.”

And one day, when the pendant’s real owner returns for his possession, this will serve as the foundation for their

reunion.

Christina was puzzled by Sharon’s cryptic words. Trace my heritage?

She suddenly remembered Gideon’s words from the past.

What if I’m really not a child of the Steele family?

“Mom, are you hiding something from me?” questioned Christina curiously.

Sharon’s heart sank with dread. She hastily collected herself and feigned exhaustion. “I’m tired. Help me to my room, would you?”

Her acting was convincing enough. Christina dropped the topic and helped her mother to her room. She tucked a blanket around Sharon after the latter lay in bed.

“Good night, Mom.”

The next day, Christina spent a good amount of time dolling up for the fashion show.
