Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 489 Hairpin Found

Silence ensued. Andrew grinned gloatingly. Children haven’t developed the awareness to protect their belongings yet. Hence, it’s the parent’s fault when the child’s obviously expensive hairpin is stolen!

What kind of reasoning is that? The look in Christina’s eyes darkened. “Based on your logic, are you saying if a person’s expensive handbag or money is stolen, it’s their fault for bringing it with them? In that case, why do we even need police officers?”

“No. It’s the custom-made diamond hairpin you bought me last month.”

At the side, Lucas acted as though he just discovered a huge secret. When did Daddy buy so many hairpins for Camila? He didn’t even buy me the limited-edition action figure I asked him to! Isn’t he just playing favorites?

The expressions on the assertive couple’s faces shifted the moment they saw Nathaniel.
