Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 351

Nathaniel’s emotions, which had just been in turmoil, resumed peacefulness.

Behind his shades, his eyes narrowed at the inexplicable sense of comfort spreading within his heart.

Yosef sighed lightly. “There’s no reason for me to slander Nathaniel. Christina, I—

“I don’t doubt you. It’s Laura’s words I don’t trust. Perhaps someone’s just trying to shift the blame,” Christina interjected lightly.

While her voice was soft, the message she hoped to convey was clear enough.

Yosef had not foreseen Christina mistrusting him and was about to come up with a retort when a tall figure stood and pulled Christina’s wrist to leave. “Rest.”

From the way he spit out that one word, it was as though speaking more would cost him.

Yosef’s expression was back to its placid state. “You should get some rest since it’s getting late. I’ll drop you off at the studio tomorrow morning.”

“I still remember the route to get there. I’ve only been gone for a few months.” Christina declined his offer inadvertently.

“All right, then. See you tomorrow.”

Christina was not surprised by how luxurious the presidential suite turned out to be since Nathaniel had been the one to arrange for it.

Before stepping into the room, Christina inquired, “Mr. Bodyguard, where will you be staying?”

“Right opposite you.” His voice was deep and husky.

Christina’s eyes widened. “A bodyguard staying in a presidential suite? You sure are living the high life.”

“I’m not your ordinary bodyguard.”

Christina laughed drily. You are almost as unique as your employer at this point.

“Get some rest. Feel free to call me if you need anything.” This was the longest sentence Nathaniel had uttered for the entire day.

Christina nodded. She entered the room, not forgetting to lock the door behind her.

Once inside, she was not in a hurry to shower as she whipped out her phone to video call Lucas.

His smart watch connected to the call promptly.

Two adorable faces appeared on Christina’s phone screen. They called out sweetly, “Mom, we missed you

so much!”

“I’ve missed you two as well. Have both of you been obedient at home?” Christina felt the day’s exhaustion dissipate into thin air upon hearing the voice of her children.

Lucas radiant eyes shone like diamonds, and he pouted his rosy lips proudly. “Of course! We woke up early before our alarm clock rang to practice calligraphy and arrived at school on time!”

Christina gave them a thumbs-up. “Take good care of Camila, Lucas. I’ll be back the minute I’m done with

work.”

It was late at night where Christina was and morning at Scenic Garden Manor due to the different time zones that they were in. She hung up the call shortly as she began feeling fatigued.

At the same time, Nathaniel had removed his sunglasses and face mask in the room opposite her. The mirror reflected the impassive expression on his chiseled face and his jet-black eyes that seemed to pull one into its endless depths. He grabbed his phone and dialed a number.

“Investigate who exactly was the one who leaked the design draft of Yosef’s studio.”

Sebastian replied, “Right away, Mr. Hadley.”

Nathaniel considered for a moment before continuing. I’d like to acquire Yosef’s studio. Come up with at price for it tomorrow,”

Christina wouldn’t have a reason to remain here once the studio was gone.

“I’ll get to it as soon as possible tomorrow. By the way, I’ve already sent the documents you need to handle to your email.”

Sebastian paused before querying worriedly, “Mr. Hadley, why don’t I head over there? Someone should look out for you instead of you being alone. Should I disguise myself as a bodyguard to protect Mrs. Hadley together with you?”

Nathaniel was used to Sebastian being around whenever he worked outstation and would most likely be unaccustomed to dealing with the nitty gritty work due to his absence.
