Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 671

Chapter 671 Sweet Consolation

Christina’s pregnancy seemed to be affecting her intellect, for she did not immediately realize his actions were because of her.

Nathaniel had never let the emotions he had at work carry over into his private life. Moreover, he rarely ever spoke about work when he was with Christina.

As Nathaniel gently stroked Christina’s pregnant belly, he muttered, “I think you’ve been a little cold to me lately.”

He sounded miserable, but Christina could hear that he was seeking consolation. A laugh escaped past her lips, and she asked, “Oh my, are you asking me to reassure you?”

Nathaniel took the opportunity of her turning around to peck a kiss on the corner of her lips. Glee manifested in his eyes at that.

Christina froze, but in the next second, she grabbed his chin and kissed him.

Nathaniel was surprised, having not expected Christina to be that enthusiastic. After pulling her into his arms, he wrapped his arm around the back of her neck and deepened the kiss.

A long while later, he finally let go of her.

Christina’s breathing was a little shaky. “Do you still think that I’m being cold toward you?”

Nathaniel lay them both down on the sofa bed as bright desire kindled in his eyes.

“I think you can be a little more passionate with me…”

By the time Christina woke, it was noon.

As Nathaniel had spent quite a long while with Christina at Hallsbay, he had accumulated a mountain of work back in the company. Thus, early in the morning, Sebastian had summoned him. After three extremely long meetings, he finally had the chance to call Christina during his lunch break.

Christina was in the middle of having her nutritious meal when she received his call. As she talked to him, she took out the carrots from her soup.

“Don’t be a picky eater, Christina,” came Nathaniel’s magnetic voice, sending a pleasant shiver down her spine.

She lied, “I’m not.”

Then, as the nutritionist watched on with relief, Christina put the carrot she had taken out earlier into her mouth and scrunched her face in disgust.

“I saw the menu for today, and there are ingredients you don’t like in it.”

Nathaniel knew all of Christina’s likes and dislikes. In the past, he would ask the chef to cook food that Christina preferred, but now, Christina was pregnant, and she needed a balanced diet.

A pregnant woman was prone to inood changes, so Nathaniel did his best to watch out for those and calm her.

She muttered under her breath, “You know that I don’t like it, but you’re still making me eat it.”

“You and the baby need the nutrition. It’s the doctor’s orders,” Nathaniel said, having caught her whispered words. “Be good, Christina. Once the baby is born, I won’t force you to do things you don’t like anymore.”

Christina knew that he was only doing it for her sake. Okay, I got it. I’ll eat everything, and you need to eat on time too. Don’t forgo your meals for your work”

“Of course,” Nathaniel replied, his eyes glued to the screen as he read his work emails. When he saw Sebastian mouthing to him that it was time for his video conference, he said, “Christina, I have something else to attend to now, so I’m going to end the call.”

When the call ended, Christina asked the kitchen staff to make a set of lunch. When she was done with her own meal, she changed into a dress and took the packed lunch, ready to head to Hadley Corporation.

Lyle was the driver, and he was in charge of taking Christina around.

“We’re going to take the long route to get rid of the car tailing us,” Lyle informed. When they left Scenic Garden Manor, both Christina and Lyle realized that there was another car following them.

However, the car had kept a distance from them and had done nothing to harm them yet.

Lyle deliberately took the long way at the most traffic–congested and busy area downtown, and soon, he lost the tail.
