Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 318

Nathaniel furrowed his brows. The big gray wolf? Are they referring to me?

Although the backseat of the car was quite spacious, the three of them squeezed into the corner like fish hiding from a cat.

The two adorable kids stared at him with vigilant eyes as if he were a menacing villain about to pounce on

them.

His gaze fell upon Lucas’ little face. Between the clean features and delicate eyebrows of the boy, there emanated an aura of composure, which was quite similar to Nathaniel.

On the contrary, Camila’s gaze toward Nathaniel was one of fear. With just a few more glances from the latter. Camila was so frightened that she nestled into Christina’s embrace.

Nathaniel raised his hand to massage his temples and redirected his focus to the tablet he held in his hand.

Due to the long travel time, the two adorable little ones soon leaned against Christina’s body and peacefully fell asleep.

A tinge of yellowish evening sun poured in as three peaceful sleeping faces quietly rested against each other, exuding a serene and nostalgic ambiance.

Nathaniel took out à blanket and gently placed it over them. He was very cautious as he did not want to disturb their sleep.

At that very moment, the priority was for Christina and the kids to come back to his side, and the rest could be dealt with later.

When the car came to another stop, they were back at Scenic Garden Manor.

As the car door opened, Christina reluctantly stepped onto the ground. A gust of wind swept by, and she couldn’t help but perceive a subtle air of oppression around her.

It was the first time Camila and Lucas had seen such a large courtyard. Deep inside their hearts, there was a mixture of fear and curiosity toward the unfamiliar surroundings.

Mommy, where are we?” Camila couldn’t hold back and asked.

Nathaniel drew closer and said, “This is your home.”

Just then, Camila appeared frightened, as if she had encountered a fearsome beast. Iter little hands reached out to climb onto Christina. “Mommy, hug me

Nathaniel’s attempts to get closer were met with rejection by Camila.

With an irritated look, Christina shot a warning glance at Nathaniel, signaling him not to approach the

kid.

She held Camila close to her chest and tenderly caressed her little head. “Camila, be good. Don’t worry.

I’m here.”

With a determined cool face, Lucas stood beside Christina, acting like a guardian angel and constantly on guard against Nathaniel’s approach.

Nathaniel had no choice but to give in. “Christina, take the kids inside first. It’s not good to stand here and be exposed to the wind.”

No matter how stubborn Christina might be, she would never risk her kids’ health out of spite.

Despite her reluctance, Nathaniel had already brought them back.

Escaping was an unrealistic thought.

She pulled Lucas and whispered. “Let’s go inside first. Are you guys hungry?

Camila nodded and spoke with an innocent voice. “Mommy, I’m hungry.”

“I’m not hungry. Lucas didn’t want to enter the big gray wolf’s house. However, as soon as he said that, his stomach growled.

Noticing how sensible Lucas was, Christina’s heart ached. “After all the traveling. I’m hungry too. How about we secretly eat up all the food in the big gray wolf’s house so that he has nothing to eat?”

Upon hearing that, Camila and Lucas blinked their watery eyes and gave a nod of agreement.

“Let’s go inside,” said Christina.

She knew that the more she resisted, the more her kids would resist. She didn’t want to burden them with her negative emotions.

As they walked in, they were welcomed by Raymond.

It had been four years since Raymond and Christina last met. Christina appeared to have developed a sense of calmness and sophistication compared to before.

“Mrs. Hadley, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for four years since you left…” Raymond looked down and found two adorable kids who looked exactly like Nathaniel did when he was a child.
