Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 507

Helen had been waiting for them at the door.

As their car pulled up outside the Hadley residence, she quickly turned over her shoulder and reported happily, “Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, they're here!”

Charlie and Julia made their way to the door, witnessing Nathaniel and Christina approaching the house, each holding one of their children.

“Grandpa, Grandma!”

Lucas and Camila released their parents’ hands and ran to their grandparents.

“Oh, Lucas, Camila.”

Julia bent down to give her grandchildren a warm hug.

It was clear that they adored their grandchildren.

Both Charlie and Julia entered the house, each holding one kid.

Nathaniel and Christina were left behind, forgotten by everyone else.

Silently, they followed everyone into the house.

At the expansive dining table, Julia and Charlie positioned Lucas and Camila in the center, ensuring they were comfortably seated.

Nathaniel and Christina took their places at the end of the table.

An array of dishes were served, carefully selected to cater to the children's preferences.

The elderly couple were fond of their grandchildren.

After serving the children, Julia turned to Christina.

“Christina, eat up. You've lost weight, I see.”

“Okay, Mom.”

Christina didn't feel overlooked or ignored in the slightest.

On the contrary, she cherished the harmonious atmosphere that enveloped the Hadley residence.

It was a stark contrast to the tense and uncomfortable environment she had experienced with the Gibson family.

Nathaniel, who was sitting beside Christina, kept piling her plate with food.

As the dinner came to an end, she realized that she had consumed more food than she typically did.

Christina glared at Nathaniel but still gobbled up the food he served her.

Charlie and Julia took in their affectionate actions.

They were secretly pleased that the old grudge between the Hadley family and the Gibson family didn't drive a wedge between the couple.

Never in their wildest dreams did they know Christina was a Gibson by birth.

It was only recently that they had discovered this truth, thanks to Nathaniel's investigation into a past accident involving the Hadley family.

Had it not been for that revelation, they would have remained blissfully unaware of Christina's true heritage.

After dinner, they went to the living room to relax.

The TV was playing a cartoon that the kids loved.

The ambiance was harmonious.

After a while, Charlie spoke up.

“Christina, your mom and I are aware of your true identity.”

Christina was busy playing blocks with Camila when she heard that.

Pausing in her actions, she glanced at Nathaniel, who gave her a look silently affirming that he did not disclose the information to his parents.

“Lucas, Camila, come on. Let's play hide and seek elsewhere.”

As they needed to talk in private, Julia summoned the children and led them away.

“Sure!”

Lucas and Camila joyfully trotted after Julia.

The moment the kids were out of sight, the atmosphere grew tense.

“I was the one who investigated your background. It has nothing to do with Nathaniel,” Charlie explained.

Christina had no idea what to say, so she stared at him silently.

Charlie continued, “I'm sorry about what happened to your parents, but it was nothing but an accident”

After a brief consideration, Christina decided to be honest with him.

“But my grandma and my dad claimed it was a ploy.”
