Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 384 Not That Simple

“Are you here to do the installation?”

Instinctively, Christina attempted to shut the door, but the other party managed to stop her in time with

his foot.

“What are you trying to do?”

Christina took two steps back and stared at the two strange men who just strode in.

The first man took out a military knife and threatened, “Shut up. We are here for money. Do as we say, and you

won’t get hurt.”

Christina steadied her breathing and retreated further in order to calm herself down.

“You should be able to tell that I have just moved here. There’s nothing valuable.”

The man eyed Christina before ordering her, “Give me everything that is of value.”

Christina handed him her phone.

“That’s it?” The man widened his eyes in disbelief. He seemed dissatisfied with the phone.

Christina felt helpless. “In today’s modern world, nobody has any cash with them anymore.” “You’re wearing

something around your neck. Give it to us!” shouted the other guy impatiently.

Christina’s heart sank. Her necklace was well hidden underneath her clothes. There was no way it could be

seen.

How do they know that I am wearing a necklace?

“My mom left me this necklace. It isn’t worth much. Why don’t I transfer some money to you instead?” With her

hand on her chest, Christina whispered, “I promise I won’t pursue the matter or inform the police. Is that okay?”

“No. If you don’t want to get hurt, hand over the necklace right now.” The man waved his knife and appeared very

determined to have the necklace,

Seeing that Christina had no intention of handing them the necklace, the man signaled to his partner. The other

man went forward and tore open her collar when he saw a hint of the necklace.. Christina was so shocked that she

took a few steps back and bellowed, “Get lost!”

Before her mother became unconscious, she had told Christina to take good care of the necklace. She could not

afford to lose it.

The younger man became anxious. “Give me the necklace!”

When he got closer to her again, Christina raised her leg and gave his nether regions a hard kick.

The guy fell to the ground and howled in pain. His face was pale as he began to break into a cold sweat. “This

b*tch… Stab her!”

Seeing that the older man was getting closer, Christina turned to flee. All she could think of was to hide in

a room.

Christina located the nearest bedroom and made a run for it. Unfortunately, it was not long before someone

grabbed her wrist.

The man was overwhelmingly strong, and almost instantly, she was flung to the floor.

When her body hit the ground, it was so painful that tears were about to flow out of Christina’s eyes.

“Hmph! It seems you won’t give up until the very last moment.“

The man strode toward the small figure. It would not be a surprise if he could break her bones with just a twist of

his hand.

Just as he was about to snatch her necklace, a figure appeared out of the blue and gave him a hard kick. The burly

man flew like a housefly that had been swatted. Christina blinked in shock, visibly still in a daze.

“Christina, are you hurt?” The grim-looking Nathaniel helped her up.

She shook her head. That was close.

Just then, a few bodyguards appeared at the door and proceeded to apprehend the robbers.

“Send them to the police station,” ordered Nathaniel coldly.

“Yes, Mr. Hadley.”

The bodyguards then dragged the two robbers out of the condominium.

The two criminals were so focused on their task that they had forgotten to lock the front door. Most likely, they had

no experience in robbing people.

Nathaniel checked Christina’s body for wounds. Thankfully, she sustained no injuries. However, her collar was torn,

and a patch of her fair skin was visible.

He turned around to give Sebastian a call and asked him to bring a new set of clothes. Nathaniel then put his own

jacket over Christina’s shoulders.

The familiar sandalwood scent made Christina feel safe once again. “How did you know I was here?” Nathaniel

retorted, “How difficult can it be for me to obtain information on what you do?”

To that, Christina said nothing. She was not happy about it but did not blame him.

Nathaniel grabbed the newly-bought kettle on the dining table and went into the kitchen to pour a glass of hot

water.

“If you knew, why didn’t you put a stop to it?” asked Christina.

Nathaniel looked around. They could overlook the entire city from there. There was also a supermarket and a mall

downstairs. “It’s nice to have a change of scenery once in a while.”

What?

So, he thinks this is one of the places where he can relax and unwind.

“I think you are sorely mistaken. This isn’t a place for you to relieve yourself of stress. It belongs to me and me

alone!” Christina looked as though she was worried that her territory would be taken away and became very alert.

The corners of Nathaniel’s lips curled upward, but she could not tell what he was thinking. He just looked

scary.

As he got nearer to her, Christina retreated backward. In the end, her back was against the wall.

He lifted her chin and looked at her with his cold eyes. It was as though he wanted to freeze her to death with them.

“Buy whatever you like. They belong to you once you have bought them. But, remember this -you belong to me!”

He then sealed Christina’s lips with his.

“Mmph!”

Christina widened her eyes in shock. She tried to push him away, only to be held more tightly.

Nathaniel wanted nothing more than to savor every inch of her body.

Time passed by. Just as Christina was about to pass out, he released her. Worried that she might faint due to a lack

of oxygen, she took a deep breath.

“Take your time preparing. The driver will be waiting for you downstairs.” With that, Nathaniel left. Christina placed

her hands on her temples. Their inexplicable relationship was giving her a headache. She got up, took the glass of

water, and realized that it had turned warm.

After drinking the water, someone knocked on the door again.

It was Sebastian with the clothes for her. After opening the door, he handed her the clothes before saying, “Mrs.

Hadley, Mr. Hadley is waiting for you downstairs.”

“All right. I got it.” Christina accepted the clothes and was about to close the door.

“Mrs. Hadley…” Sebastian called out.

Christina paused and looked up. “What is it?”

“Mr. Hadley says that if you need any furniture, just leave it to me.” Nathaniel was always extremely caring toward

Christina. Unfortunately, Christina did not appreciate his kind thoughts.

“No, thanks.”

This time around, Christina shut the door for good.

She looked at the clothes and sighed. What exactly is this? I feel like a child who has run away from home but still

accepts money from their parents.

Christina changed her clothes.

She then went downstairs and got into the car.

The driver took them to Scenic Garden Manor.

On the way there, she asked, “Have the two robbers given their statements?”

“Yes. They said they followed you from when you were at the supermarket. It was a random attack,” answered

Nathaniel.

“No way. I don’t think it’s as simple as that.”
