Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 500 Pin The Blame

On the way back. Nathaniel called in advance to ask the housekeepers to prepare dinner.

Back at Scenic Garden Manor, Lucas and Camila smelled the aroma of food as soon as they got out of the car. The kids were already famished and could no longer hold back-they were almost drooling.

They swiftly entered the house and settled around the dining table. Christina joined them and took a seat as well. The three of them, driven by their hunger, voraciously devoured the food, paying little attention to maintaining a composed demeanor.

After satiating their hunger, a wave of fatigue washed over them.

The housekeepers quickly took the two kids upstairs to clean up, and they fell asleep immediately after the shower.

Meanwhile, inside the bathroom of the master bedroom, Christina was lying in the bathtub, the warm water dispelling her exhaustion. As the steam rose, her vision gradually became hazy.

She began to reflect on the events of the day. The close call lingered in her thoughts, and she almost thought that she wouldn’t be able to make it back safely.

However, the incident also enabled Christina to learn of the Gibsons’ true intentions. They had deceived her for the sake of financial gain.

Christina’s mind raced with thoughts and questions. If that’s the case, then why did Grandma transfer the shares to me? Could it be that it was a calculated move to manipulate me into severing my ties with Nathaniel? How can they so easily take advantage of those who are related to them?

The realization of her family’s willingness to stoop to such despicable means for their own gain left Christina disheartened as hatred welled up in her heart.

With that in mind, she resolved never to set foot in the Gibson residence again, as they had thoroughly let her down.

Christina relaxed her body, submerging herself fully in the bathtub. Suddenly, a jolt of surprise coursed through her as a large hand plunged into the water, gripping her wrist tightly and forcefully pulling her

out of the water.

“Christina, what’s wrong?” Nathaniel’s eyes were filled with shock as though he had just witnessed her doing something dangerous to herself.

However, Christina merely wanted to relax her mind.

“I’m fine. I just—”

Before she could utter another word, Nathaniel swiftly enveloped her in his arms, holding her tightly as if afraid she would vanish in an instant. “I’m here now. You don’t need to be afraid anymore,” he reassured
