Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 496

Chapter 496 I Will Solve It

Nathaniel’s brows furrowed, and he let out a soft cough, instinctively covering his nose with his hands.

“What’s wrong, Nathaniel?” Christina asked softly as she leaned closer to him.

“Someone put chili in my bowl,” Nathaniel replied in a voice so soft that only the both of them could hear. His brows remained knitted.

Nathaniel couldn’t take spicy food at all. If he consumed anything with spice, his throat would become hoarse the next day, and he would experience stomach discomfort for several days after.

Across from them, Anya’s tone dripped with sarcasm as she remarked, “Grandma went through the trouble of having pasta delivered all the way from Irushea because it’s her favorite. Are you saying that the food prepared in the Gibson residence isn’t to your liking?”

Christina couldn’t help but conclude that it was intentional on Anya’s part to instruct the staff to add chili to Nathaniel’s plate. There seemed to be no other explanation for why his pasta was spicy while everyone else was enjoying the same dish.

“Forget it. I’m fine,” Nathaniel told her. He didn’t want to cause a scene during dinner.

Christina’s expression turned dark as she grabbed Nathaniel’s plate of pasta.

While Nathaniel refrained from causing a scene, Christina believed it was her responsibility to address the issue on his behalf. After all, Azure had declared this place as her home, and it was only reasonable for Christina to bring up any problems that arose during dinner.

She took a bite of his pasta before summoning the butler. “Who told you to add chili to this pasta?”

“It was Ms. Gibson’s order,” the butler replied, seemingly hesitant.

Christina firmly set her utensils aside and ordered, “Take this plate of pasta to the person who instructed you to add chili and let them enjoy it themselves.” Her tone carried a resolute authority, leaving no room for argument.

The butler shot Anya a stumped look. “Well… I…”

Anya was caught off guard, not expecting Christina to confront her directly during dinner.

There was no way she’d eat a plate of pasta full of chili. Flashing an awkward smile, she piped up, “The kitchen staff must’ve heard wrongly. Butler, please get him a new plate of pasta.”

The butler quickly left with the spicy pasta.
