Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 504 Liar

Upon returning to Scenic Garden Manor, Christina had dinner with the twins. Then, she played soccer with them in the back garden.

By the time she put them to sleep, it was already nine o’clock at night.

She would be lying to claim that she was not tired since she was already yawning away.

Naturally, Nathaniel noted all that. Feeling anguished, he gathered her petite and weak body in his arms. “Thank you, Christina.”

That remark of his carried multiple meanings.

Unfortunately, Christina was not in the mood to decipher anything. She merely nodded in acknowledgment. “Indeed. I’m dead tired today. I never feel like this usually.”

She generally had no problems bustling about, but for some inexplicable reason, weariness weighed heavily on her that day.

Inwardly, Nathaniel knew that most of her fatigue was psychological in nature. He kissed her on the forehead. “Go and shower first, then have a good sleep.”

“But I still want to-”

“Go ahead. I’m here.” Despite being aware that Christina still wanted to go through the information, Nathaniel gave her no room to protest. He pushed her right into the bathroom.

“Why are you still standing here?” The bathroom was initially quite spacious, but with the man there, it promptly appeared rather cramped.

Nathaniel stood there without budging. His thin lips curved into a smirk. “Let’s shower together.”

“Huh?” That stunned Christina. Some indecent images popped into her mind, and her face inexorably flushed bright red.

Seeing that her face had turned as red as an overripe tomato, Nathaniel tapped the tip of her nose. “What are you thinking? I meant that in the literal sense. Conserving water is a virtue.”

A frown marred Christina’s countenance. She could not help doubting herself when she took in the serious look on Nathaniel’s face. Hmm, was I really reading too much into it?

She again eyed the man suspiciously. It was only when she had ascertained that his gaze was sincere and he did not intend to do anything to her that she lowered her guard.
