Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 495

Chapter 495 Gifts

In an attempt to alleviate the awkwardness, Christina chimed in, “Ah, I wasn’t aware that you preferred to be addressed as ‘Mrs. Lazuli. Should I start calling you that as well?”

Azure grinned, playfully and gently tapping her granddaughter’s nose. “Don’t be such a tease.”


Worried that her grandmother would continue giving Nathaniel a hard time, she released Nathaniel’s hand and instead linked arms with Azure, guiding her inside the house. “Let’s go inside and have dinner. I’m famished.”

Nathaniel retrieved several bags of gifts from the trunk of the car before joining them and making his way inside.

Upon entering the residence, Christina couldn’t help but notice a few unfamiliar faces. They were dressed to the nines, and their gazes were filled with scrutiny when they saw her.

She whispered into Azure’s ear, “Grandma, did you invite them here?”

Grandma didn’t mention that there would be this many guests when we were on the phone earlier.

Azure replied softly, “Yes, I did. These are your relatives. They heard that I found my biological granddaughter and expressed their interest in meeting you.”

Many of them knew of Christina’s existence and had long since wanted to meet her.

Christina forced an awkward smile onto her lips. At that moment, she looked like a helpless child who was meeting her relatives for the first time.

A housekeeper approached Nathaniel and offered to take the bags from him. With a smile, she remarked, “Mr. Hadley, how courteous of you. The gifts you brought seem to be quite heavy.”

Azure settled herself on the couch, expressing her disapproval with a scoff. “Hmph. We don’t have space to store such gifts here. Leave them here for now, and he can take them back when they leave.”

Despite the presence of numerous relatives in the hall, Azure did not bother to hold back with her words. It was apparent that she wasn’t planning on showing Nathaniel any respect.

Naturally, Azure was well aware that her words would provoke Nathaniel and fuel his anger. She could not be happier than to watch him lose his temper, as it would provide her with a valid reason to urge Christina to leave him.

Hence, she waited patiently for his reaction.

Christina’s face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and discomfort. She found herself caught in the middle, torn between her
