Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 50 Reluctant To Leave

As they smiled at each other, their countenances were reflected in each other’s eyes.

Upon stopping the car at a red traffic light, Nathaniel suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the back of

Christina’s head with his large palm.

Then he gently pulled her toward his embrace, lifted her chin, and kissed her lips. She has a sweet,

refreshing fragrance I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of

As there weren’t any other cars on the street, the black Maybach remained unmoving even after the

traffic light turned green.

It wasn’t until the light went through another cycle of red to green again that Nathaniel unwillingly let

Christina go.

When they did, they seemed calm, as though they hadn’t just had an intimate moment.

Half an hour later, the car arrived before a familiar building.

killed the engine and held her small hands while affectionately gazing at her delicate face.

“I’m reluctant to leave you whenever I send you home” Upon finishing his sentence, Nathaniel raised and

pecked the back of her hand.

Christina smiled shyly. “You’re such a sweet-talker.”

“I’m telling the truth.” He grinned, too.

In the past, he thought he could never flirt with anyone. It wasn’t until he fell in love that he realized all

sweet nothings came naturally from the heart and didn’t need to be learned.

“In two days, I’ll be going on a business trip to Hallsbay. It may be a week before I can return.” Nathaniel

paused before turning to Christina. “How about you ask for a leave and accompany me there?”

Hallsbay’s a prominent city, so there should be plenty of fun sights to visit.

Looking somewhat troubled, she rejected his invitation. “I’ve just received a new assignment, so I can’t

leave now. How about next time?”

Of course, he was disappointed to hear that. So, money can’t solve everything, after all. Although, after

our dispute last time, I’d like to avoid arguing with her over small matters. I suppose there’s nothing else I

can do about this. “Okay, we’ll go there next time.”

Christina withdrew her hand. “I’ll be going back now, then.”

“Mhm.”

The atmosphere had turned slightly ambiguous.

After unbuckling her seatbelt, she kissed Nathaniel’s cheek.

Her heart raced as she blushed.

“Goodnight,” uttered Christina before she left the vehicle.

Once returning to the building, she waited until she heard his car leaving before jogging to her room.

In the following two days, both of them were very occupied with their work.

As she and her coworkers still had plenty of disagreements, their designs underwent multiple revisions

before the finals were handed to Gina.

Thankfully, Gina was quite satisfied with the designs. If there were no further problems, all that was left

was to manufacture the products.

Nathaniel invited Christina to dinner on the day of his departure. As busy as she was, she squeezed out

some time to join him.

He brought her to a famous, tastefully decorated restaurant known as West Coast. Inside, anywhere.

they looked, they could see works of art.

The establishment had only ten tables, so the interior seemed quite spacious. Also, almost all tables had

been taken since it was dinner time then.

Just as the couple took their seats, the owner personally greeted them before requesting a waiter to

serve them a bottle of precious fruit wine.

Nathaniel still had to drive later, so he poured half a glass of wine for Christina and none for himself.

The dishes were served relatively quickly, and she liked all of them. She also enjoyed the wine because

it tasted sour and sweet at the same time.

Holding a fork and a knife, he elegantly sliced his steak. “It’ll be your grandmother’s birthday soon. What

present should I get for her?”

She was slightly surprised he remembered Evelyn’s birthday, “I think anything’s fine. She won’t mind.”

Under the atmospheric lighting. Christina’s small face resembled a matured fruit as the wine she

consumed rendered her cheeks slightly pink.

Nathaniel put a few pieces of his steak in front of her. I’ll return as soon as I can. Her birthday’s on the

third, right?”

Christina’s heart pounded as she nodded. It has been so long since someone has valued me greatly, so

much so that I’ve forgotten how it felt like. I think the last time I experienced something like this was after

Mom was forced out of the Steele family.

After dinner, he escorted her to the entrance.

Before they left, they entered his vehicle for one last intimate moment as emotions stirred in their hearts.

They gazed at each other wordlessly before drawing closer until their lips touched.

Concurrently, the temperature of the air slowly rose.

After they split up, they went their own separate ways.

Nathaniel frequently sent messages to Christina during his trip, no matter how busy he got.

Even if the messages were short, they were still a slight respite from the couple’s boring jobs.

A week later, the clothes Christina’s team designed officially entered the market.

In less than three days, their latest model broke sales records. Furthermore, five or six of the models

kept selling out.

When the news broke in the company, the ladies behind that success became the center of everyone’s
