Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 93 What Is There For Her To Hide

Christina looked like a little squirrel emerging from hibernation when chomping on the meat. Engrossed

in watching her cat, Nathaniel felt his appetite improve as well.

“Is it nice?”

“Yeah.” mumbled Christina. As her mouth was stuffed with food, she could not pronounce the words.

clearly and sounded like a toddler speaking.

“I’ll continue sending them to you tomorrow.”

Just when Christina was about to speak, someone suddenly pushed the door open. She quickly ended

the call in surprise.

“Don’t you know how to knock?” She was unhappy. After all, knocking before entering is an act of basic

courtesy.

Caroline replied nonchalantly, “I forgot.”

In reality, she had done it on purpose.

What qualifications do an inexperienced designer who got transferred from Team A have to become

Team B’s leader? Rumors have it that she forced Yosef away to strive for the position of team leader. I

will never respect someone like that.

Taking in Caroline’s flippant look, Christina could sense the disrespect coming from her.

If Caroline had genuinely forgotten, Christina would not blame her for anything. However, it was obvious

that she had not.

She placed her fork down. “Go out, knock, and come in again.”

Caroline’s eyes widened in anger as a feeling of displeasure arose within her. Yet, there was a warning.

look in Christina’s eyes, cautioning Caroline from angering her further.

She gritted her teeth. Since her position was lower than Christina’s, she had no choice but to submit.

Furiously, Caroline spun around and exited the room. After knocking on the door and receiving

Christina’s response, she entered again.

“What’s the matter?”

“This is my draft for the department’s internal competition. Please submit it to the superiors.” Caroline

passed a form and a few design drafts to Christina.

Radiant Corporation would host an internal competition annually. The winner would be promoted, and

Caroline believed that this was her chance.

Once she came in first place, the first thing she would do was chase Christina out.

What’s so impressive about this woman? Didn’t she get her position by selling off her good looks? Wait

and see how I’ll drag you down.

Christina took the drafts. “Okay. You can leave now if there’s nothing else.”

Despite the unpleasant look on her face, Caroline did not say anything and left.

After work, Nathaniel arranged for a car to send Christina to the Hadley residence.

Helen welcomed her. “Are you Ms. Ada?”

Christina wore a black outfit that she had prepared beforehand and put on a black cape that covered her

entire body, which made her look like a night traveler.

With a mask on her face and a voice-changing device hiding in her clothes, her look was complete.

“Yes.”

“This way please, Ms. Ada.”

Not doubting her, Helen brought her in.

It was Christina’s second time at the Hadley residence after getting married to Nathaniel. The house was

just as it was in her memories. The atmosphere was solemn. A vase of flowers and some coffee were

placed on the grey marble coffee table.

Julia was sipping on a cup of coffee while sitting on the couch.

When she saw Ada, she scrutinized her for a few moments before averting her gaze.

What’s there for her to hide? We’ve already guaranteed that we won’t take pictures of her or expose her

identity. Why is she so reluctant to reveal her face?

“Take a seat. Would you like some coffee?” asked Julia tentatively.

“I’m fine. Thank you.” Christina could not eat or drink in front of them since she would have to take off her

mask.

Julia did not make things difficult for her. “I’ve arranged a room for you to rest in. You can start work.

tomorrow.”

Although she had hired Julia as a designer, she did not intend to overwork her.

“It’s fine, Mrs. Hadley. It’s still early, so I’d like to measure your waist and make a record of it first.”

Christina wanted to finish her task earlier and leave the Hadley residence as soon as possible.

Although she had already done all the preparations, unexpected events might still occur.

She would rather complete her task quickly than be in constant anxiety.

Placing her cup down, Julia walked to the second floor elegantly without a second word.

Gazing at Julia’s back, Christina could not help but marvel at how elegant women could retain their air of

arrogance even at an old age.

They would make others nervous because of their status.

“This way please, Ms. Ada.” Helen led the way and brought her up the stairs to a guest room.

The decorations inside had been cleared out completely. The room, which was over a hundred square

meters, was furnished with a sewing machine, a table, and all sorts of tools. They were all of superior

quality.

Christina took out a measuring tape and a notebook from her bag.

“Please raise your arms, Mrs. Hadley. I’ll take your measurements.”

“Okay,” replied Julia as she raised her arms.

Christina moved closer to her. Since it was her first time being so close to Julia, she could not help but

feel nervous.

From a close distance, she could smell Julia’s faint jasmine fragrance. Looks like Nathaniel was right.

Mrs. Hadley really likes it.

She pulled out the measuring tape carefully and recorded the measurements.

Looking down, Julia observed the woman in front of her. She’s so securely covered up. In fact, she’s

even wearing black gloves over her hands. Is she ugly? Or does she have any hidden diseases?

“I’m done taking your measurements, Mrs. Hadley. You can rest now.” Christina kept the measuring tape.

Gazing at her, who was completely covered in black, Julia mumbled a curt response and walked out.

Christina heaved a sigh of relief after the door was shut.

After confirming the measurements, she did not stay idle either. She chose the fabric and started

sketching.

The most important process of making such gowns was the embellishment in the latter half. By midnight,

the foundation of the outfit was complete.

Only then did Christina finally stop working. She returned to the lounge on the first floor to bathe and

rest.

At that moment, a black Maybach drove through the gates of the Hadley residence.

Helen was surprised and delighted upon recognizing that it was Nathaniel’s car.

Ever since he got into a conflict with Julia over Christina, he had not visited in a long time.

Helen informed Julia about Nathaniel’s arrival happily

Although Julia was pleased to hear that, she felt suspicious as well.

Why would Nathaniel look for me at such a time?

When she walked out of the living room, she saw a lot of nutritional products placed on the coffee

table.

Julia walked over and sat on the couch. “You could’ve just come without all these gifts. I have everything

here.”

“You can never have too much. Take care of your health.” Nathaniel cast his gaze around the house but

did not spot Christina anywhere.

Julia could barely believe her ears when she heard Nathaniel’s words of concern. “Why did you come

here at such an hour? You can’t be so useless that you got chased out by that woman, right?”

Nathaniel could never understand why his mother always took issue with Christina.

“Christina is very gentle. She’ll never do something like that.” Christina would always be waiting for him

at home. Yet, now that she had to work overnight here, his heart ached for her.

Feeling a wave of anger rushing over her, Julia chased him out in annoyance. “Hmph! If you’re here to

show off your wife, you can go back now.”

Nathaniel did not wish to visit either. Every time he came, his mother would always throw shade at

him.

“I’m inspecting a project nearby tomorrow, so I’m staying here for the night.”

Julia was stunned for a while. “Do whatever you want.

With that, she went upstairs.

Helen smiled. “Mr. Hadley, don’t take it personally with Mrs. Hadley. She was over the moon when she

heard that you were coming back. I’ll prepare the room for you now.”

“Sure, Helen.”
