Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 345

The bodyguard quickened his pace and dragged the principal out. Only then did the noise finally die down.

When Christina came to her senses, she noticed that Nathaniel’s hand was still on her waist. Blushing, she jumped away like a little rabbit.

Without waiting for him to speak, she turned around and walked into the house.

Lucas and Camila had already changed into clean clothes, their innocent and cute faces filled with joy. “Mommy, can you take us out to play tomorrow?” asked Camila in a soft and adorable voice.

Lucas agreed from the side, “We’re kids! We naturally like to run around and explore new things. It wouldn’t be good to confine us like this, right?”

After the incident, Christina scolded them for sneaking out and punished them by grounding them in

Scenic Garden Manor.

“I’ve chosen a new kindergarten. You’ll start school tomorrow. Without any hesitation, Christina punctured the children’s hopes of going out to play.

She brought the two of them to the study, turned on the computer, and logged into the kindergarten’s website.

The form teacher had contacted her earlier, informing her that each new student had to log in to the website and fill in their details.

The two kids stood at the side and watched their mother fill in the information. The last section was to upload a photo.

Christina connected her phone to the computer’s Bluetooth. She had close-up photos of the kids in her photo album.

There was also an option to choose if they were a single-parent family. If they were, they would just need to upload a photo of the guardian. Otherwise, a photo of the child’s parents would be required.

Since it was a regular kindergarten, most parents came to pick up their children. The photos helped the teachers recognize each parent’s appearance to avoid any confusion during drop-offs and pick-ups.

Without any hesitation, Christina ticked the option for the single-parent family.

“But we aren’t a single-parent family, Mommy!” Camila’s face scrunched up in an aggrieved look when she saw Christina’s choice.

Christina smiled awkwardly. “What does it matter? We’ve always chosen that option.”

The key issue was that she did not have a photo of Nathaniel, but she did not want to take one with hinr either…

Pouting, Lucas explained to Christina, “That’s different. We thought that we didn’t have a dad previously. Now that we do, we don’t want to be mocked for being fatherless by our new classmates!”

They had a particularly strong aversion to that word.

Before Christina could react, Camila dashed out and quickly dragged Nathaniel into the study.

“Daddy, we need your photo to fill in the kindergarten application. Can we have your photo?” Camila clasped her hands together, her watery eyes full of anticipation.

Nathaniel ruffled her hair. “Okay.”

Feeling like she was being pushed into a corner, Christina had no choice but to sit on the couch with Nathaniel. Lucas held her phone and took a picture of them together.

Lucas glanced mischievously at Camila, who immediately understood. “Oh no, the light’s behind you here. Mommy, Daddy, why don’t you sit on the single-seater couch over there where the lighting is better?”

Christina was currently sitting on a double-seater sofa, on which she could maintain some distance between her and Nathaniel.

How can two people fit on a single-seater couch? Doesn’t this mean that we’ll practically be in each other’s lap?

Christina looked up, thinking that the light was indeed a bit glaring.

“Hurry up, Mommy! Sit over there,” urged Lucas softly.

Nathaniel sat on the single-seater couch first. Since he was naturally tall and muscular, he already took up two-thirds of the already cramped space.

“Scoot over!” whispered Christina.

Nathaniel ignored her words. Instead, he directly pulled her wrist and made her sit on his lap.

“This is good enough,” he said.

Christina’s ears felt warm as a feeling of nervousness and anger surfaced within her. However, she could not possibly lose her temper in front of the two children.

With her back pressed against Nathaniel’s chest, she could feel the rhythm of his heartbeat even through their clothes.

Lucas took several photos with her phone. After reviewing them and still feeling dissatisfied, he remarked, “Mommy and Daddy, you’re sitting too far apart. Move closer. Otherwise, the teacher might mistakenly think that both of you are on bad terms.”
