Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 232

Christina felt as if the world was spinning around her. Before she realized it, she was already pinned on the bed.

Nathaniel fixated his sharp gaze on Christina’s terrified face. It looked as if a powerful individual was intimidating the vulnerable.

“What’s wrong. Nathaniel? Are you feeling unwell?”

Are his allergies causing neurological confusion now? Why is he glaring at me like I’m his enemy? He looks rather

scary…

“Nathaniel…” Christina called his name gently.

As Christina’s gentle voice traveled into his ears, Nathaniel felt a ripple effect in his heart.

He felt as if he were being burned by fire. It had been so long that he had almost forgotten about his allergy. Otherwise, he could have avoided being taken advantage of by the woman just now.

Cradling Christina’s head, Nathaniel gently kissed her on the forehead. “I’m fine. I just need a good night’s rest,” he reassured.

Then, Nathaniel tightened his grip on Christina’s slender waist and lifted her up along with the blanket below them, enveloping her in his embrace.

At dawn, sunlight gradually illuminated the sky.

A sweet scent lingered inside the warm sheets..

Nathaniel gave Christina, who was still asleep, a gentle kiss and woke her up. “Time to get up breakfast. We don’t want you to feel hungry.”

and eat

Christina mumbled something inaudible in reply. Then, like a newborn kitten, she pounced on Nathaniel and checked for the red spots on his body. “Your allergy symptoms have subsided,” she exclaimed. “What happened last night? Is it really just because of some mushrooms?” Christina’s tone was filled with curiosity and confusion.

A dark look flashed across Nathaniel’s eyes. “Yes. Please remember not to give me any mushrooms.”

He did not want Christina to know about his problem or, even worse, misunderstand him.

Christina had no doubt upon hearing his confirmation. “Okay. To be honest, I don’t like mushrooms too.”

The two indulged in some extra sleep before finally getting up.

Sharon fely contented watching the couple during breakfast.

Nothing in the world could bring her more joy and contentment than seeing her daughter happy.

After Sharon asked Catalina to serve them a bowl of oatmeal each, she asked, “Christina, when are you Nathaniel going to have a baby?”

and

Christina choked on her food. What baby? She wasn’t ready for the topic yet…

Nathaniel, on the other hand, responded calmly, “That depends on Christina. We’ll have a baby when she

decides the time is right, no pressure.”

In truth, Nathaniel enjoyed the time spent alone with Christina because he could cuddle with her all night without any interruptions.

Christina glared at him. What do you mean by saying that it depends on me?

Christina knew that Nathaniel didn’t want a child either. Yet, he shifted the responsibility entirely onto

her.

“My career is just starting to take off, and Nathaniel is busy with his work too. We don’t have plans for a baby as of now,” Christina replied.

Sharon felt worried upon hearing that. “You can pursue your career any time. It’s not like Nathaniel cannot afford to take care of you! You can continue your career after having a child.”

Sharon believed that it was important for Christina to bear children while she was still young.

Isn’t it a wonderful thing to have a husband and a child?

“I’m going to decorate my studio today, Mom. I won’t be accompanying you then.”

After gulping down the oatmeal, Christina grabbed Nathaniel’s hand and hurried out of the house.

Sharon felt even more nervous when she saw the couple dashing off.

No wonder. Given Nathaniel’s physique, it seemed improbable for there to be no sign of good news after they had been together for so long. As it turned out, Christina had been avoiding pregnancy deliberately.

This girl is always thinking about her career and making money. She doesn’t even care about her family…

Don’t be mad at me, Christina. I’m doing this for your own good.
