Let Me Stay The Night Chapter 8 Ask Your Precious Son

Meanwhile, inside the Hadley residence, two women were seated on a lavish imported couch.

One of them was Julia, while the other was an elegant and fashionably dressed lady.

An antique emerald bracelet was displayed on the table. Judging by the luster and color, one could easily tell that that piece of accessory was crafted using the highest quality emerald. A bracelet like that was worth more than three million.

Xandra Sullivan had made contact with multiple middlemen before successfully purchasing the bracelet. She had deliberately brought that item to pay her respects to her future mother-in-law.

Julia wore a friendly smile as she said, “You're so thoughtful, Xandra, unlike that disgraceful woman who only seemed capable of regarding others with a scowl. She acted as if the Hadley family had wronged her by having her marry my son!”

She sized up Xandra admiringly. Xandra is the daughter of the owner of Sullivan Real Estate and the face of the socialites in this city. Her career has recently thrived, and she has successfully upgraded her status to an A-list celebrity. She's beautiful and equipped with great etiquette. All of her excellent traits fulfilled the standards of the daughter-in-law I have in mind.

In contrast, Julia had been displeased since Christina married Nathaniel three years ago.

Not only was Christina unpresentable, but Julia was also fearful she might suffer from embarrassment if others were to know about Christina's existence.

If it weren't for the reporters' ardent publishing of the news in the past, causing their share price to plummet drastically, Nathaniel wouldn't have agreed to resolve the matter via marriage.

Let Me Stay The Night Chapter 9 Not Like You Care For Me

“Christina, you're not Nathaniel's wife anymore, so get out!” Since Christina had signed the divorce papers, Julia couldn't see any reason why Christina would continue to stay and found it inappropriate for her to do so after the end of her marriage to Nathaniel.

Seeing that Julia was infuriated, Xandra put on her good-guy act and said, “Mrs. Hadley, don't be angry. It's bad for your health. There's no point in getting mad at an outsider.”

She sounded as though she cared for Julia, but her real intention was to underline Christina's status as an outsider to the family so she could have Nathaniel all to herself.

Yet, despite Julia's orders, none of the maids dared to lay a finger on Christina, who was folding her arms before her chest and staring at the two women with her glistening eyes.

Well, there's nothing you can do to me!

Since no one dared to chase Christina out, Julia decided to do it herself. “They may be scared of you, but I'm not! I swear I'm getting rid of you today.”

It's so frustrating to see this unfaithful woman in my house.

Despite being almost fifty, Julia was still strong enough to fight. Her image as the Hadley family's matriarch was the last thing on her mind.

With one hand, she overturned all the paints before Christina, sending all the various colors flying and mixing into a black mass that soiled Christina's white dress.

If this had happened to Christina in the past, she would have just climbed upstairs in pathetic silence to get a change, but not anymore.

Let Me Stay The Night Chapter 10 I Am A Filthy Woman

When Nathaniel saw the women's smeared clothing, he figured they must have fought.

Christina watched calmly as Nathaniel walked over to her and took a piece of tissue to wipe her face. He then turned to Julia and said, “I didn't ask you to stay with her. You don't have to come to my house unless there's important business.”

Julia was mortified. Since when are they that close?

Although their mother-and-son relationship was not as close as outsiders perceived, Nathaniel had never once confronted Julia so openly.

A mere sentence from him was what it took to show how much his attitude toward Christina had changed.

“It's been a long time, Nathaniel. How have you been?” Xandra asked with an anticipative gaze in Nathaniel's direction although she dared not look the dashingly elegant man in the eye.

They were that close to getting married years back.

Ever since then, time had passed with Xandra living in resentment and thinking Christina had snatched Nathaniel away from her.

Nathaniel did not respond to her. Instead, he ordered with a scowl on his face, “Sebastian, send Mrs. Hadley off.”

The air stood still at his words.

The sweet smile on Xandra's face froze while the hand she had held out earlier hung in the air as if she had acted unnecessarily.

She was green with envy as she took in Nathaniel's loving gesture toward Christina.

What did that woman even do to win his heart?

Stepping forward, Sebastian said politely, “Mrs. Hadley, Ms. Sullivan, this way, please.”

The assistant's undisguised attempt to chase them out made the atmosphere seem exceptionally awkward, with Julia feeling that Nathaniel was drawing a clear line between them.

Let Me Stay The Night Chapter 11 Two Clowns

Nathaniel couldn't help but be amused by the woman in his arms as her sweet fragrance wafted into his nose.

He grabbed her chin and said, “Let me help you wash wherever it's filthy tonight.”

His sentence conjured up inappropriate images in her mind.

Christina flushed crimson. I was just saying... He didn't have to be so cooperative!

The two shamelessly displayed their affection for each other, completely ignoring everyone present.

Julia was so furious she almost fainted. Xandra quickly supported her and said, “Nathaniel, come quick and take a look at your mother.”

You better get off Nathaniel, you b*tch!

Christina glanced at the two. “Since Mrs. Hadley still has the strength to curse at people, she must be all right. I don't think I'm needed.”

Then she purposely leaned in closer to Nathaniel.

Julia shot a look at the housekeeper behind her. “Nathaniel, I know you don't believe me, but I have evidence of this damn girl's infidelity!”

That day, she had had someone hide the shirt Christina had worn just for this moment. She wanted to expose Christina personally.

I want to see how she explains herself with concrete evidence!

Christina propped her chin up, looking bored, as if she was waiting for a performance to start.

What kind of trick are they going to pull now?

The housekeeper brought out a white shirt and laid it flat on the coffee table. There was a faint red bloodstain on it.

Let Me Stay The Night Chapter 12 New Memories

Julia stood rooted to the spot, utterly shocked.

Nathaniel instructed, “Sebastian, go upstairs and bring down one of my shirts for my mother so that she can take a good look at it!”

Sebastian quickly went upstairs to get the shirt upon hearing his words.

Julia and Xandra would have no choice but to believe once they saw it for themselves.

Sebastian quickly returned with a shirt and laid both shirts on the coffee table. Although there were some wrinkles on the shirt that Christina had worn, it was evident that it was Nathaniel's shirt when they saw that the right collars of both shirts were embroidered with the letter N in gold.

Nathaniel's shirts were custom-made by Irushean tailors. Each shirt had the letter N embroidered on the right collar.

Julia's face paled. She had no choice but to believe it with the truth lying before her eyes.

Her blood pressure rose again, and she almost fainted. Sebastian hurriedly approached her and supported her. “Mrs. Hadley, shall I send you back?”

Julia snorted coldly before letting Sebastian support her and leaving.

Xandra had no relation with the Hadley family to begin with. She was only acquainted with Julia, so she didn't have any reason to stay after the latter left.

Soon, the sound of a car engine could be heard from the front yard.

“The audience has left. There's no need to continue the show.” Christina jumped out of Nathaniel's embrace like a squirrel.

Nathaniel furrowed his brows.

Was I just a tool for her to use to anger them?

“Get over here, Christina,” he said in a low voice laced with annoyance.

Christina ignored him. They locked eyes for a moment before she quickly ran upstairs.

Chapter 1 Delivery In The Wild

It was a dark night.

Clutching her swollen belly with gritted teeth, Novalee Webb scuttled for refuge.  Her once-white cotton dress was smeared with blood.

Blood was still trickling down her legs!

Damn it!  She was about to give birth!

Her strength was failing.  She could no longer flee!  She'd been on the run for what felt like eternity, and she was sure that despicable couple couldn't reach her now.

Novalee's eyes darted about.  She saw nothing but fields of grass.

Tenderly feeling the uneasy child within her, she whispered, "My little one, should your mom bring you into this world in the wild?"

A sudden contraction seized her, causing her to wail in agony!

Half an hour later, the cry of a newborn baby shattered the serenity of the wilderness.

With sweat, Novalee's hair clung to her cheeks, and her lips were marked by rawness and blood.  Yet, she took no notice of it.  Disregarding the discomfort, she reached out with pure joy to hold her precious newborn child.

Lightning lit up the sky, followed by the deep rumble of thunder outside the window.

The bathroom's frosted glass door, touched by a soft, uncertain light, showed the outlines of two figures.

A tall man and a woman, both delicate and graceful, stood behind it.

Steam clouded the air, making it hard for Alicia Ellis to see.  Her hands pressed against the glass, the pattern of her palms clear against it.

Around her waist, the man's arms held her tight, strong as iron.

A whirl of emotions filled her.  Confusion and happiness tangling together, she felt like a feather tossed high into the air before falling.

Today, she celebrated three years of being married to Erick Ellis.

In the past, Alicia always reminded Erick, but he never remembered.  He even seldom came home.

The door opens and Mrs Valerie Summers steps into the room with a tray.  On it sits a glass water vase and a cup.  Her smile fades on seeing Adrien seated at her dresser, not at all ready for dinner.  Valerie is about to say something when Adrien cuts in.

"Mum!  Please don't let this happen.  I barely know this man.  I can't believe you and Dad are making me marry for business gains.  Most marriages that begin this way end up badly.  I ran into his sister at the mall the other day and she wasn't nice at all.  How will I keep up with a family of snobs!"

"Adrien!"

Mrs. Summers flings the glass vase onto the wall.  The young girl uses her hands to cover her ears as the glass vase shatters loudly.  She looks up at her mother who towers over her with a glare and accusing fingers pointing at her.

Chapter 1 Great Humiliation

In the Phoenix City.

After spending half an hour in the AY Jewelry Store, Sherry Xu finally decided to buy a necklace the shop assistant had suggested.

However, before she could give her bank card to the shop assistant, an arrogant female voice came from behind her.

"This necklace doesn't look very striking.  However, it's unexpectedly a limited edition...  I'll take it then!"

The woman's voice was sweet and feminine, but it had an arrogant tone to it that was enough to make anyone feel annoyed.

The woman walked over to the shop assistant, her high heels clacking on the marble floor, and stood beside Sherry Xu.  The smell of her perfume gently wafted into the air.

Hearing this, Sherry Xu was stunned for a moment, and wrinkled her nose with distaste.  Without casting a mere glance at the woman, Sherry Xu handed her credit card to the shop assistant.  "Wrap this up, please,"  she said.

Chapter 1 Are You Handsome

"Hey, be gentle— You might wake her up..."

In a room in Harmony Hotel, Lindsey Stewart was lying in bed with a splitting headache, and her body felt as though she was on fire.  The simple task of just opening her eyes felt like such a challenge, and when she finally managed to crack her eyes open a fraction, the scene before her nearly broke her!

Her boyfriend, Chayce Burton, was holding a woman against the bay window—and the woman was none other than her stepmother, Kendra Stewart!

"Don't worry.  She's out cold.  The drug I used was strong enough for a wild animal," Chayce said to Kendra without so much as glancing at Lindsey on the bed.

The next moment, Chayce hoisted Kendra up by her thin waist and penetrated her again and again rapidly, which caused the latter to let out loud, pleasured moans.

Lindsey gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, trying hard to clear her mind.  It was Kendra who had introduced Chayce to her, so never in her wildest dreams would she have expected that her stepmother would sleep with her boyfriend behind her back!

Tonight, Chayce had invited her to dinner.  She passed out after drinking a glass of wine he had given her.

It turned out that this whole night was an elaborate trap orchestrated by this shameless couple!

"I feel so bad..."

The lights in the room were dimmed down, but it was still easy to see the girl's slender figure.  She laid on the sheets in a lazy manner, instantly grabbing Kerr Graham's attention.

"Say it!  Who let you inside here?!"

He could not clearly see what the girl looked like, but it was easy to discern that she was a beauty.  Approaching the bed, Kerr lifted up her chin to get a better look at who was this mysterious woman on his bed.  In the next second, the woman suddenly jumped up and put her arms around his neck, panting heavily as if she was trying to catch at a straw.

"Please...  Help me..."

The way she clung on to him and breathed heavily beside his ear made Kerr loose it.  He couldn't tolerate it any longer!

Kerr grew up in a rich family, and had seen and done a lot of bad and dark things.  It wasn't a big deal for him to take advantage of this poor and seemingly drugged girl.

'Anyone who is able to enter my room must have been instructed to get this woman for me.  Is this something to cheer me up? ' he thought with a devious smile on his lips.

Kerr leaned over and kissed the girl without hesitation.

Paige sighed with relief as she finished her painting.  The painting has took a lot of time, attention, it was like my little baby.  I had an upcoming art exhibition, and my studio was filled with the vibrant strokes of my creativity.

Taking a moment to survey my small apartment, I thought about how I was going to move my paintings to the gallery in the next two days.  The exhibition held a special significance for me as the proceeds would go to charity.

With a growling and hungry stomach, I entered my bedroom and reached for my phone.  Glancing at the missed calls from my best friend Kylie, I dialed her number.

"Paige, how dare you not pick up my call?"  Kylie's shouted angrily through the phone.

"I'm so sorry, Kylie.  I lost track of time in the studio," I explained, guilt evident in my voice.

You know how it is Kylie, ones I start painting, it’s like I ascend to another realm, so I am very sorry, love.

So we both agreed to meet up at our usual cafe.  I quickly freshened up, opting for a simple outfit and letting my hair down freely.  I headed out, greeting my neighbors along the way.

Upon reaching the cafe, Julie, the owner, welcomed me with open arms.  The rich aroma of coffee and cocoa filled the air.  I shared a warm hug with Julie, apologizing for my infrequent visits.

Chapter 1 Surprise

With her suitcase in her hand, Lucia walked into the front yard.

For two weeks, she had been on a business trip.  She came back a day earlier than expected and did not tell her boyfriend Jonah about it, because she wanted to surprise him.  On her way back, she already texted Jonah and asked what he was doing right now.  He replied soon.

He said that he was going to sleep early tonight and would pick her up early tomorrow.

Jonah had been so considerate.  Imagining the surprised look on his face, Lucia could not help but hasten her steps with a smile.

Using the key that Jonah had given her before, Lucia opened the door.  She left her suitcase in the living room and went straight to his room, but there was no one.

'Wasn't he going to sleep?  Why is he not here?'  The thought perplexed her.

After searching, she heard a man's gasps and a woman's groans coming from the balcony.

The man's voice sounded a lot like Jonah's.  Upon hearing that, Lucia thought that something must be wrong with her ears.  However, that was not the case.  They had been in a relationship for seven years now.  How could he be with another woman?
