Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 738 Guidance

As the group entered the mansion, the butler and housekeepers helped unload gifts from the trunk of the

car.

Once inside the living room, Lucas and Camila sat closely next to Christina, sneakily sizing up Timothy and behaving less lively than usual.

Timothy smiled gently and instructed the housekeeper to serve the beverages and snacks he had prepared in advance, all of which were Christina’s and the kids’ favorites.

“Have a taste. If you like the food, I can have the kitchen prepare them for you the next time you come

over.”

Lucas and Camila stared longingly at the exquisite snacks on the table, but they didn’t dare to reach out for them, fearing that Timothy might scold them.

Noticing the unease between Timothy and the children, she swiftly stepped in to smooth things over. “Nathaniel is swamped with work and couldn’t spare the time to visit. During our vacation abroad recently. Lucas and Camila picked out a present for you.”

She patted her kids’ heads and said, “Go get the gift and show it to your granddad.”

Timothy couldn’t contain his joy as an exuberant smile spread across his face. “You should enjoy yourselves while on holiday instead of worrying about an old man like me.”

“After your health improves, we can all go together next time,” Christina chirped.

Lucas and Camila rarely ever refused Christina’s requests. They found the gift for Timothy from the pile of presents, and Lucas was tasked with the responsibility of handing it to Timothy. The boy uttered meekly, “Granddad, this is your present. Open it and see if you like it.”
