Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 132

The fragrance of the chamomile tea wafted in the air.

Christina took a small sip. The tea was indeed very delicious, with a tinge of sweetness mingling in the fragrance of the tea.

“This is Charlie’s favorite tea. Since he has a weak stomach, he drinks chamomile tea sometimes. It tastes nice, right?” asked Linda in a friendly manner.

Christina smiled. “It is

When she shifted her gaze toward the chamomile on the table, she suddenly remembered the chamomile bushes all over Julia’s backyard. She had seen the housekeepers plucking them sometimes.

Back then, she had been curious why Julia wanted to grow chamomile in the backyard. However, she seemed to have some clues now that she thought about it.

“I’ll try out the dress. You rest here for a while.”

All Linda could think about was the dress. She tried them on and was very pleased.

After receiving the remaining payment, Christina refused Linda’s invitation to stay for dinner.

She left the house, then went to the hospital and paid the bill for the next month.

Christina walked into the hospital ward. Sharon was lying quietly on the bed while the IV drip flowed into her body through the tube. As she looked at her mother, who was becoming frailer each day, her heart ached.

She brought a basin of water over to wipe Sharon’s body and face. Holding her hand, she started to talk to her.

Although Sharon was unconscious, Christina believed that she could still hear her.

“Mom, you must recover quickly. I’ll work really hard and buy a humongous mansion for I’ll bring you and Granny over to live together. Let’s live a happy life, okay?”

It was already very late when Christina returned to Scenic Garden Manor from the hospital. After taking a bath, she collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.

Since no one woke her up during the weekends, it was almost noon when Christina woke up.

After lunch, Nathaniel returned from the office. The moment he entered, he saw Christina lying on the couch in her cartoon pajamas and watching the television.

Nathaniel walked over and carried her from the couch. “There’s a family gathering at night. Change your clothes and go back to the Hadley residence with me.”

“Back to the Hadley residence again?” Christina stared at Nathaniel with her huge, watery eyes.

“We’ll come back after dinner. You don’t need to eat too much. I’ll take you to eat something delicious after we leave.”

Christina burst out laughing. “Sure.”

When they arrived at the Hadley residence, there was a black Lincoln parked at the entrance.

Upon getting out of the car, the two of them saw Julia and Lawrence chatting on the grass patch in the courtyard. The wind sent her dress fluttering as a whiff of jasmine fragrance floated in the air.

Christina stared at the gown that Julia was wearing in disbelief. It was the jasmine gown that she had designed when she was pretending to be Ada.

Isn’t Mrs. Hadley mad at me? Why is she still willing to wear those gowns?

Nathaniel held Christina’s hand as they walked in together.

“Hello, Mrs. Hadley.” Since it was their second formal meeting after their fight, Christina felt very

nervous.

“Mm,” came Julia’s reply.

Compared to mean words, this curt response sounded pleasant to Christina.

Lawrence recognized Christina. “So this is your daughter-in-law. She’s gorgeous. You’re so lucky.”

Feeling embarrassed by that compliment, Christina returned a faint smile.
