Her sweet and charming voice sounded like music to Nathaniel’s cars, and he could feel his grumpiness fading away.

Seeing his reaction, Christina came closer to kiss his cheek. “Someone is knocking on the door. You don’t want my efforts to go to waste, do you?”

Nathaniel’s expression was icy as he gazed at the anxius Christina without a word.

“Hide in the bathroom. As long as no one discovers you here, you can still sleep with me tonight. Does that sound good?” she asked hastily.
