Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 305

Christina grew frustrated and agitated after suppressing her feelings for three days straight.

Raymond felt sorry for her upon entering the room with her lunch and seeing her skinny build.

“Mrs. Hadley, it’s time for lunch.”

“I’m not eating. Take it away.” Christina hadn’t eaten anything since last night,

She couldn’t be confined to her room all the time. There were still a lot of things that she needed to deal with

“Mrs. Hadley, please don’t be angry. Mr. Hadley will let you out once he’s no longer angry,” consoled Raymond earnestly.

Once he’s no longer angry? I am not his pet! Oh, so now I need his permission to be taken for a stroll outside?

Christina’s gaze darkened as she lifted her hand and knocked over the tray of food before her.

Raymond was startled when the dishes fell to the floor, spilling everywhere.

“Mrs. Hadley… I’ll prepare a new set for you.”

Christina’s expression clouded over. “You don’t have to. I will still knock it over no matter how many times you bring me a new set.”

“But Mrs. Hadley…”

“Get out.”

Feeling helpless, Raymond left after cleaning up the floor.

As soon as he went downstairs, he immediately made a phone call. It went through quickly.

“Mr. Hadley, Mrs. Hadley refuses to eat and got so skinny. Why don’t you stop confining her?” he said, concerned about Christina’s condition.

Stop confining her? So that she can go out and meet Francis?

“Let her starve, then Nathaniel lowered his gaze expressionlessly, his demeanor no different from his previous cold and arrogant self.

On top of that, those eyes of his had lost their brilliance.

“But-”

Before Raymond could say anything further, Nathaniel hung up on him.

Nathaniel didn’t return to Scenic Garden Manor although he was back from his business trip to Horbah.

He sent Sebastian to buy him some new clothes and toiletries while questioning himself why he refused to go back. In the end, he concluded that he was perhaps afraid that he would relent upon seeing Christina’s innocent, puppy-dog eyes.

However, Nathaniel hated Francis the most. Francis had stolen his father away from him when he was still

young, and now, the former even set his sights on Christina.

The mere thought of that once again triggered flames of resentment which had already died down.

After knocking on the door, Sebastian entered and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Hadley, you have an appointment tonight. Are you going?”

“Yes. Bring me the proposed plan of Wander Garden,” Nathaniel said tonelessly as if he were an emotionless robot.

“That’s next week’s work. It’s not urgent, so you don’t need to do it now. You haven’t been back to Scenic Garden Manor for several days. Shall I get the driver to send you back to rest?” Sebastian asked cautiously.

Nathaniel spared him a cold glance. “Since when do I need you to arrange my schedule for me?”

“No, that’s not what I mean. Then… I’ll take my leave first.” Sebastian trotted away in a hurry, not wanting to get himself in trouble.

Although Nathaniel didn’t say anything. Sebastian could still sense the slight changes in his emotions.

Mr. Hadley has been particularly grumpy lately, so much so that the atmosphere in the office is tense every day.

When the employees in the company heard that the project manager was sacked because of a minor mistake, they began walking on eggshells. The executives who were in charge of sending the reports to Nathaniel were especially careful, afraid that they would be fired for the same reason.

Although the atmosphere in the company was gloomy, that didn’t stop the rumors from spreading.

The assistant told her colleagues about what she saw at the office that morning, and soon, rumors about Nathaniel and Madison being in a relationship began spreading like wildfire.

Though the department executives tried to stop everyone from spreading baseless rumors, the situation still spiraled out of control.
