Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 386

“Maddy, I have examined that woman for you. You can’t beat her, so you should just give up,” advised Maggie.

One look at Christina was sufficient for Maggie to tell that the former was a calm and graceful person.

Earlier on, she was nitpicking and trying to test Christina’s patience.

However, Christine did not panic at all. Instead, she came up with excellent designs. Judging from her character, Christina was clearly a composed person who would never act recklessly.

“Grandma, I can’t believe you’re defending an outsider instead of helping me!” Madison was so angry that her eyes turned bloodshot.

Maggie patted the back of her granddaughter’s hand. “If he isn’t married, I will definitely help you. now that things have come to this, you should just give up.”

but

Give up? How could I possibly give up?

She had been pining for him for so many years. There was no way she was going to give him up.

“If I can’t marry Nathaniel, I’d rather not get married at all this lifetime.”

Meanwhile, Christina did not return to the office. Instead, she went to the supermarket and bought a few different flavors of candies before heading to the kindergarten to pick up the children.

Christina stood at the entrance, waiting for the children when school was over. However, there was still no sign of Lucas and Camila even after all the children had left.

In the end, the two kids came out with their teacher, Stacy.

“Hi, you must be Lucas’ mom. There’s something about Lucas that I would like to talk to you about.” Stacy appeared upset.

Christina nodded and told the children, “I have bought you some candies, and they are in the car. Why don’t the both of you wait for me in the car?”

“Okay, Mommy!” With that, Lucas grabbed his sister’s hand and ran to the car. The driver opened the door for them to get in.

Stacy brought Christina to an isolated corner before saying in a serious manner, “You see, Lucas is a bright child, but he doesn’t like learning. That’s not good. He never completes the homework I assign them. Camila, on the other hand, will finish all her homework!”

Camila, being obedient and adorable, was well-loved by all the teachers.

Though they were fraternal twins, there was a vast difference between their characters. One was docile and obedient, while the other was mischievous and naughty.

“How come I don’t know there’s homework?” Christina would ask about the children’s studies once in a while, but they would always tell her that there was no homework.

“That’s because Lucas doesn’t like doing homework. Every day during lessons, he would impatiently ask us to skip to the next question and claim that he already knew the answers.” Stacy sounded exhausted and frustrated as she recounted Lucas’ antics.

“Also, he loves to fool around. When the kids are lining up, he will stand at the back and cause trouble. He’d even get his classmates to join him in messing around and ignoring the rules Stacy put her hand on her forehead and sounded helpless

“I’m sorry, Ms. Jacobs. I will go back and have a talk with him.” apologized Christina, embarrassed.

Being a mother was no easy feat. She had to be the one apologizing for her child’s mistake.

Stacy sighed. She didn’t want to make things difficult for Christina upon seeing how sincere the latter was “Actually, Lucas is an outstanding boy. He’s just a little too mischievous. Though it’s not a big problem, he still has to watch his manners and complete his homework.”

“Thank you for your concern, Ms. Jacobs. From now on, I will make sure to keep an eye on him.” Christina lowered her head sheepishly, so embarrassed she wished the ground could swallow her up.

After listening to Stacy’s complaint, she felt that she was partially responsible for Lucas’ misdeeds.

Christina left the kindergarten after speaking with Stacy.

Back in the car, the twins had already opened up the candies and made a mess.

“Mommy, let’s go home.” Lucas pouted his colorful lips and wanted to kiss Christina.

She carried the boy and placed him on her lap. Looking at the boy’s face that resembled Nathaniel’s, she asked solemnly, “Tell me. Did Ms. Jacobs assign any homework for you?”

Lucas’ heart skipped a beat. Please don’t tell me Mommy has found out that I have been lying.

Seeing how he remained silent, Christina was quite sure that he was hiding something from her. “Give me your school bag.”

“There’s nothing inside my bag.” Lucas immediately hugged his bag tightly and looked wary.

Christina’s face clouded over. “Camila, give me your school bag.”
