Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 464 Quit Messing Around

“Mom, how could you let a stranger into our house?” Christina grumbled under her breath before putting on her shoes.

“Nathaniel isn’t a stranger, Christina. Don’t be rude,” Sharon replied earnestly.

Since her mother was around, Christina had no choice but to hide her dislike of Nathaniel. As she walked to the dining table, the sight of a huge spread caused her to feel a pang of heartache. “Mom, didn’t I tell you not to cook so many dishes? You’ve just recovered, so you can’t overwork.”

“I’m feeling fine. Besides, Nathaniel rarely comes over, so of course, I should be a good host,” Sharon responded gently. She was on bed rest for six months, but when she could move freely on her own, Christina forbade her from exercising. As a result, she was itching to get active from being cooped up at home every day.

To her, it made sense to cook more dishes since she rarely had two people joining her for a meal.

Christina pouted. Truth be told, she loved her mother’s cooking, but she simply could not bear seeing Sharon overwork herself. That was why she only went back for meals a few days. a week instead of every single day.

When the three of them took their seats at the dining table, Christina naturally sat down next to her mother, but Sharon stopped her. “Why are you sitting next to me? Go and sit beside. Nathaniel.”

“It doesn’t matter who I sit with, Mom,” Christina said. I don’t want to sit next to him.

Sharon glanced at her. Sensing her mother’s displeasure, Christina could only stand up and sit next to Nathaniel obediently.

The sight of them sitting beside each other brought Sharon great satisfaction. With a nod, she said, “All right. Let’s dig in.”

As soon as those words fell from her lips, she reached out and placed a large drumstick on Nathaniel’s plate. “Have you lost weight recently, Nathaniel?”

Christina glared at the drumstick. That’s my favorite. How could Mom give it to him?

Nathaniel was not in a hurry to begin his meal. Instead, he patiently answered Sharon’s question. “I’d been busy with work recently and had to accompany Christina everywhere, so I had not been eating my meals on time.”

The second he finished his utterances, he felt someone pinching his thigh harshly. Puzzled,
