Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Nathaniel isn’t still working so late at night, is he?

With that thought in mind, Christina got out of bed, put on a jacket, and went out. Unsurprisingly, the lights in the study were still on.

After a moment of hesitation, Christina went downstairs to get a cup of milk before returning to the study.

As she placed the hot cup of milk in front of Nathaniel, she said. “Have a drink and rest.”

Nathaniel did not even realize that she was in the room.

Just as he raised his head, the cup of milk was already by his lips. When he took a sip of the milk, he felt his body warming up.

Christina watched him finish the drink before putting down the cup, feeling contented.

“Why are you awake? You should go back to sleep,” Nathaniel said, glancing at the time and realizing that it was two in the morning.

However, Christina raised her chin and pouted as she muttered, “I don’t want to go back to the room. I’m going to stay here with you.”

At that, she burrowed her head into his arms.

Christina was wearing a thick white jacket, and in his arms, she felt like a warm little bunny.

Nathaniel had no choice but to let her stay there at her insistence. She was petite, and it really felt as if he had a small animal in his embrace.

Nathaniel returned his focus to his work and attempted to wrap up his work quicker so that he could bring her back to the room to sleep.

The lights shone on them from above and cast the couple’s overlapping shadows on the carpeted floor.

When Christina woke again, she was already on the bid in the master bedroom.

Still, she could feel the warmness of the spot beside her, so that meant that he had been sleeping as well. After a stretch, she got out of bed.

When she went downstairs, the butler told her that Nathaniel had gone out. It seemed like he had something important to attend to that day.

Once she had her breakfast, she went back to her company.

Right as she stepped into the company, she overheard her coworkers discussing the contents of a magazine as if they had spotted something interesting in it.

“Francis has been chosen as the Outstanding Youth of the Year again. He’s been doing charitable activities every year, and he’s even helping out the elderly.”

“I know, right? I heard that he’s been organizing a dance competition with the Elderly Dance Society.”

“Wow I’m jealous! I wonder which elderly lady’s got to be fortunate enough to be his dance partner”

When Christina overheard that, she paused in her traks and walked over to the chattering group.

“May I take a look at the magazine?” she asked.

One of them passed her the magazine as the others red a confused look with each other.

Their group leader had never been one for gossip, big strangely, she seemed interested in this news.

Francis’ photos were on the front page of the magazine, including the one where he was receiving his award.

The man’s smile was enchanting, and he appeared angelic in the photographs.

So he was telling the truth when he said he met Granny while doing charitable work.

A wave of embarrassment washed over her when she recalled herself rolling her eyes at him back then.

After returning the magazine to her coworker, she thanked them and returned to her office.

Right as she stepped into the room, her phone rang. I was a call from her grandmother.

“Christina, I’m going to be joining the dance competition on the weekend. Will you be able to come and support me?” Evelyn asked, her joy tinting her words.

It had been a long time since Christina heard her grandmother sound so happy, so she answered unhesitatingly, “Of course. I’ll make a dress for you to wear for your competition.”

“That’s amazing! Thank you, my darling Christina,” Evelyn joyously answered.

After ending the call, Christina began designing her grandmother’s competition outfit.

With the design drawing, Christina spent the rest of her days after working hours making the dress. She managed to finish it when the weekend arrived.

Before the start of the competition, she brought the dress to the television station.

Evelyn proceeded to don the dress, which was crafted from delicate nylon adorned with shimmering glitter and sequins.

The sleeves also showcased two blossoming floral embroideries, and they effortlessly stood out against the black velvet fabric.

The second Evelyn stepped forward, she caught everyone’s attention.

“Ma’am, you look gorgeous today,” came a man’s gentle voice.

It was Francis, who was wearing a formal black suit with a red bow tie.

When he ambled over to Evelyn, Evelyn confidently said to her granddaughter, “Allow me to introduce to you my dance partner.”

Christina chuckled. So Francis is Granny’s dance partner today. “I look forward to your performance. I hope you’ll be able to score well.”

Francis beamed and turned to Evelyn. “I’m sure it’ll be difficult to lose with an excellent dance partner like you, ma’am.”

That coaxed a laugh out of Evelyn’s mouth, and the stage fright she felt dissipated.
