Let Me Stay The Night Chapter 455

Chapter 455 Leaving You Forever

Christina smiled awkwardly. I didn’t forget, but it was never my plan to contact him, okay?

After formulating her response, she explained, “Daddy needs to work, so he can’t go with us!”

The children crossed their arms and stared at her in unison with suspicion.

Camila pouted. “You never planned to bring Daddy along at all!”

“You shouldn’t lie to kids, Mommy!” added Lucas.

Christina’s acting was clumsier when she was in front of her children. “Of course not. It’s not like we’re staying there for a long time. It’s just a vacation.”

Her reasoning convinced the children.

They nodded, despite not fully understanding the situation. “We’ll return after summer vacation is over?”

“Of course! When did I ever lie to you before?” Christina gently patted their heads.

Before the kids replied, she carried them into their room. “Rest well, okay? We’ll take the plane there tomorrow!”

Camila and Lucas nodded obediently. “Goodnight, Mommy!”

“Goodnight.” Christina kissed their foreheads before leaving the room.

After closing the door, she continued to pack her things, though there wasn’t much for her to pack.

Once she was done busying about, she plopped down on the couch and quietly scanned the renovations in the condominium. Even though Nathaniel isn’t here, I can still see traces of him everywhere.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel hadn’t slept well for the past two days because his insomnia had returned. After he swallowed a sleeping pill, he slumbered.

The phone on his bedside table vibrated for a moment as it had just received a new message from Camila: We’re leaving you forever, Daddy.

The next morning, sunlight landed on Christina, waking her up. She didn’t realize she had fallen asleep on the couch.

After she got up, she prepared a simple breakfast, changed into a pink dress, and tied up her hair, making her fair countenance seem even cuter.

After the three of them finished breakfast, Christina pulled out her luggage. “Let’s head off now!”

Just as she arrived at the entrance and opened the door, she saw a towering figure blocking her path.

Christina lifted her eyes and saw Nathaniel’s terrifyingly intense scowl. Her blood froze instantly, and she was rooted to the spot.

“Why are you here?” she asked, shocked.

Promptly, Nathaniel showed her the message Camila had sent him. “Are you trying to hurt the kids?”

After Christina read the text message, her eyelids twitched. I didn’t expect the kids to snitch on me!

Suppressing her rage, she asked, “Why did you send that message, Camila?”

Camila stuck her tongue out and explained seriously, “Aren’t we spending the summer vacation at Hallsbay, Mommy? Summer vacation lasts for a long–time, and my teacher said ‘a long time‘ can be expressed as ‘forever‘”

The girl’s words rendered Christina speechless.

Nathaniel stepped into the room and lifted the children. “How about you two buy presents with my a*sistant at the mall, hmm?”

The instant they heard presents, they were immediately delighted. “Yes! I want presents!”

After Sebastian brought the children downstairs, Nathaniel closed the door.

Then, Nathaniel stepped closer to Christina, driving her into a corner. “Where are you planning to kidnap my children to, Christina?”

The cramped space made her feel as if the air had gotten thinner.

She lifted her chin and uttered in a resolute tone, “I’m not kidnapping the kids. I’m bringing them to a fun place for summer vacation.”

Does she think I’ll believe such a cr*ppy lie? Upon lifting his hand, Nathaniel gripped her chin. Like a bloodthirsty beast, he peered at her as though she was prey he would swallow whole. “Do you think you can hide the truth from me, Christina? You’re eager to divorce me, so you can return to the Gibson family. Am I right?”

Despite her effortful attempts, she couldn’t push him away as his strength was overwhelming.

Like a powerless doll, she was clutched tightly within Nathaniel’s palm.

Christina hated that sense of restraint and knitted her eyebrows. “Release me. I always am a member of the Gibson family. Besides, why should I ask for your permission to go anywhere I want?” I’m not an object on display that will take in any comments from the public!

A cold look swirled in Nathaniel’s eyes as his scowl intensified, looking as if he was going to gobble up Christina. “You’re mine!”

His domineering and suffocating tone plunged the room into the darkness of a black hole. She couldn’t feel her heartbeat as she struggled to breathe.

Instinctually, Christina wanted to escape as swiftly as possible. “I’m not yours! Listen-”

Her mouth was abruptly sealed by Nathaniel’s lips as she felt his hot breath stirring in her mouth. After an unknown amount of time pa*sed, Christina collapsed due to a lack of oxygen. As her body slid downward, Nathaniel grabbed her thin waist tightly. “You’re mine, so you can’t go anywhere.”

“Why should I listen to you?” She was infuriated. “Are you going to imprison me again for disobeying you?”

Nathaniel snorted in a bewitching way. “That’s not a bad idea. I’ll take your suggestion.”

Without delay, he bent down, carried Christina on his shoulder, and strode to the entrance.

“Let me go, you b*stard!” Relentlessly, she smashed her fists on his shoulder.

However, that only felt like a slightly stronger form of ma*sage to him.

Upon leaving the room, he stepped into the elevator.

Christina was still struggling to escape as she didn’t want to relive a past nightmare. My heart feels like it’s suspended in the air, and I’ve no idea when it’ll drop to the ground and shatter.

The more she thought about it, the greater her despair became. No! I don’t want to be confined again!

Then, the elevator door opened. Nathaniel stepped in and pressed the button for the first underground floor.

Meanwhile, Christina had grown bolder as she struggled. Just before the door closed, she bit Nathaniel’s ear without hesitation.

Nathaniel groaned and covered his ear reflexively. Using that opportunity, Christina jumped away from his shoulder and darted out of the elevator.

By the time the elevator door closed and he returned to his senses, he was alone, and Christina was nowhere to be seen.

As the elevator descended, a frigid expression settled on his icy countenance. He tightened his fists so excessively that it created cracking sounds. Christina!

Meanwhile, Christina held her breath and dashed to the back staircase. As she did, she called her grandmother. “Come pick me up, Grandma!”

When Azure heard her granddaughter’s anxious voice, her expression froze. “Where are you, Christina? I’ll be there right away!”
