Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 671 Sweet Consolation

Christina’s pregnancy seemed to be affecting her intellect, for she did not immediately realize his actions were because of her.

Nathaniel had never let the emotions he had at work carry over into his private life. Moreover, he rarely ever spoke about work when he was with Christina.

As Nathaniel gently stroked Christina’s pregnant belly, he muttered, “I think you’ve been a little cold to me lately.”

He sounded miserable, but Christina could hear that he was seeking consolation. A laugh escaped past her lips, and she asked, “Oh my, are you asking me to reassure you?”

Nathaniel took the opportunity of her turning around to peck a kiss on the corner of her lips. Glee manifested in his eyes at that.

Christina froze, but in the next second, she grabbed his chin and kissed him.

Nathaniel was surprised, having not expected Christina to be that enthusiastic. After pulling her into his arms, he wrapped his arm around the back of her neck and deepened the kiss.

A long while later, he finally let go of her.

Christina’s breathing was a little shaky. “Do you still think that I’m being cold toward you?”

Nathaniel lay them both down on the sofa bed as bright desire kindled in his eyes.

“I think you can be a little more passionate with me…”

By the time Christina woke, it was noon.

As Nathaniel had spent quite a long while with Christina at Hallsbay, he had accumulated a mountain of work back in the company. Thus, early in the morning, Sebastian had summoned him. After three extremely long meetings, he finally had the chance to call Christina during his lunch break.

Christina was in the middle of having her nutritious meal when she received his call. As she talked to him, she took out the carrots from her soup.

“Don’t be a picky eater, Christina,” came Nathaniel’s magnetic voice, sending a pleasant shiver down her spine.

She lied, “I’m not.”
