Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 116

Nathaniel was on the couch, clad in nothing but a bathrobe that partially revealed his chest as droplets. of water rolled down his neck. His very presence in the room commanded attention.

For a brief moment, Christina felt as if Nathaniel was a dazzling spark in the dark.

It was as though a glance at him would wash her exhaustion away.

As Nathaniel turned to her, he chided, “Why did you come back so late?”

He made it sound like Christina was a misbehaving girl, but the truth was that she had been walking. the entire day. Even blisters were about to form on her feet.

Frankly, she wanted to vent her frustrations to someone so that the weight on her shoulder would be lighter, but if she were to do that to Nathaniel…

Either he was going to make her stop working, or he was going to settle the score with her company.

Furthermore, Christina was an adult. She felt that she should not be bawling her eyes out over every trivial matter.

Thus, she walked over to him and said in a deliberately lighthearted tone, “The company had a show, so I was following up on it. That’s why I’m late.”

Nathaniel quietly stared at her, his gaze piercing.

Christina took in a guilty, sharp intake before stretching. Leaning on him, she then raised her head to look at him with puppy eyes. “I’m so tired. Darling, can you give me a massage?”

She even gave him a cute and earnest smile.

At that, Nathaniel reached up to rub her temples, his movements stiff. Christina guessed that it was his first time giving anyone a massage, but she did not mind it.

Instead, she slowly relaxed as she breathed in his scent.

Right then, the butler came over with supper. When he saw Nathaniel massaging Christina’s temples, he froze as if he had seen a ghost.

The mysophobic Mr. Hadley is letting Mrs. Hadley lean on him even though she hasn’t changed into fresh clothes?

Quietly, he turned around to return to the kitchen with the tray of food, not wanting to disturb their moment of peace.

Next morning. Christina left early.

When Nathaniel arrived in the office, Madison came into the room with several folders. It was then she realized that there was an unfamiliar woman sitting in the corner of the office.

Madison was wary of all women who approached Nathaniel. After a moment of studying the unfamiliar face, she averted her gaze and said, “Mr. Hadley, I’ve contacted the textile manufacturers you told me to.”

Nathaniel paused in his work and let his eyes flick toward Gina, who was on the couch. “I’ll leave this to

you.”

Gina walked over and flipped to the page with the fabric samples. Once she picked a company, she put its folder on the table. “This company has the right color.”

After receiving a quiet hum of acknowledgment from Nathaniel, Gina left with the folder.

It was then Madison realized what was going on. She had been busying away in the morning, only to pave the way for another woman.

Madison was willing to spend all her time working for Nathaniel, but she would not do it for anyone

else.
