Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Christina asked curiously, “Does Mrs. Hadley like to drink chamomile tea?”

Nathaniel tried to recall the information. “I’ve seen her pick it but never seen her consume it.”

Christina walked over and observed the housekeepers fill the chamomile into a special clear glass jar with the logo of an old trademark, “Hearty,” printed on the front and a packet of desiccant on the bottom to ensure freshness.

She pulled out her phone to do a background search on the brand. There she discovered their website with detailed information but no address or online store, which Christina found bizarre.

Since there was still time before dinner began, the two returned to the living room after their walk in the garden.

Linda and Charlie sat on the couch in the middle, drinking tea and chatting happily. If one had no idea of the situation, one would think Linda was the real Mrs. Hadley.

No wonder Mrs. Hadley had spoken so harshly to them! Who in their right mind would joyfully accept a mistress into their relationship? Charlie has gone overboard with that he did!

Christina snorted coldly to herself. She found Charlie’s behavior despicable, even though he was her father-in-law.

At that moment, Christina saw Charlie pouring chamomile from a clear glass jar filled with the flower into a pot to make chamomile tea.

“Wow. That tea smells great. I’m thirsty. Why don’t we have a cup?” Christina pulled Nathaniel into the living room without waiting for him to say yes.

A reluctant Nathaniel sat near the chair’s armrest while Christina sat in the middle.

Linda enthusiastically poured them two cups of tea after the couple sat down. “Come, come. Try the tea. These chamomiles are carefully selected and are superior to those you buy outside. That’s why it smells better than all the others!”

Christina picked up the cup and took a small sip while gazing at Charlie. “Yes. It tastes fantastic!”

On the other hand, Charlie surveyed Christina. He was pleased with what he saw as he ticked off her qualities, from quick-witted, beautiful, and graceful to polite, mentally.

He looked at Nathaniel and realized that their relationship had deteriorated to the breaking point. “You two should start a family soon. Besides, you should act more mature and reasonable.”

Nathaniel, who was no fan of Linda, got even more upset when he saw Charlie returning home with her. He snorted icily. “May I know what the definition of being mature is? Are you a good example of

that?”

“What’s with that attitude of yours?” Charlie fumed, slamming his palm angrily onto the coffee table while veins popped up on his forehead.

Although he was no longer a member of Hadley Corporation’s executive team, he was still well respected by many of the company’s shareholders. Therefore, Charlie was the final decision maker in appointing the next CEO, making him the biggest threat to Nathaniel’s career.

“Calm down, calm down. Nathaniel, please don’t speak to your dad with that tone.” Linda realized things had gone wrong and wanted to defuse the situation by showing her caring and tender side.

Christina looked at Linda’s pretentious face and felt that the other woman was actually fueling the fire.

And just as Christina had expected, Nathaniel’s eye glinted angrily the next moment as he replied, “You have no right to speak my name!”

Linda’s expression darkened. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Nathaniel’s piercing eyes.

Meanwhile, Charlie was trembling with rage. “You uncouth son of a b*tch! Did your mom teach you to talk to your elder this way?”

“She is not an elder.”

To him, an elder was someone he respected, not hated. The memories of Linda being the woman who ruined his family’s blissful life and destroyed his peaceful childhood were etched deeply into his mind.

But why? Why can this woman be happy with my dad while my mom has to cry and live sadly daily? I will never forget how their affair depressed my mom while I stood by as a young man. That is why I hate them!

Charlie felt his blood boiling. He was about to end the conversation and leave when Christina tugged at his shirt. “Dad, can I talk to you in private?”

The respect Christina showed him caused Charlie’s anger to fizzle. He couldn’t bring himself to be angry with her. “Of course.”

Christina breathed a sigh of relief when Charlie agreed to her suggestion. It seemed that Charlie harbored no animosity toward her.

“Shall we go for a walk outside?” Christina proposed.

“All right.”

With that, they went out, one by one.

In the meantime, Linda stared at Christina’s back, not understanding what the latter was trying to do. She did not believe that Christina would speak on behalf of Julia since the two women did not get along well.

The pleasant scent of jasmine was in the air as Christina and Charlie walked through the garden one after the other, with the woman taking the lead.

When they were about to arrive at the spot where Christina had seen the housekeepers picking chamomile, she asked, “Dad, chamomile teas benefit one’s health. Where do you usually get your supply?”

“My friend bought it for me. Why? Do you want to get some for yourself?”

Charlie stared at Christina in confusion. Didn’t she say she had something to say? If so, why did she stay quiet? And why is she asking me about those cheap chamomiles?
