Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 456 Adapting To New Identity

Fifteen minutes later, Azure’s car arrived at a small alley.

It wasn’t until Christina saw her grandmother stepping out of the vehicle that she approached the automobile.

“Grandma.” She threw herself into Azure’s arms, her heart still pounding. That was too close. If I had remained

captured, I’d be imprisoned in Scenic Garden Manor again.

“Why are you this frightened, my child? Come, let’s talk inside the car.” Without delay, Azure brought the younger

woman into the vehicle before it drove away.

Through the rearview mirror, Christina watched the alley gradually vanish from her sight and sighed in relief.

“Why are you alone? Where are the children?” inquired Azure caringly.

A cold look swirled in Christina’s calm eyes. Tightening her grip, she answered, “We’ll go back first. In the future,

we’ll come back and pick them up.”

Azure patted her granddaughter’s hand. “I’ll do whatever you wish, my dear.”

At the same time, Nathaniel returned to the condominium but couldn’t find Christina anywhere.

I see her luggage, which means she left without returning here. Grimacing, he felt as if powerful waves were

crashing against his body.

Sebastian approached him and reported, “The bodyguards searched the whole place with me. We can’t find her.”

Narrowing his eyes, Nathaniel thought, She fled, then? Well, as long as the children are still at my side, she’s not

going anywhere. “Bring the children back to Scenic Garden Manor.”

Meanwhile, a beam of sunlight landed inside the study within Yeatder Villa at Hallsbay. There, Christina received a

picture from a private detective. So, Lucas and Camila were brought back to Scenic Garden Manor by Nathaniel. He

even transferred them to a different, aristocratic kindergarten. It seems they’re busy with homework every day.

She brushed her finger on the screen. Wait for me, Darlings. I’ll grow stronger and bring you two to my side.

Suddenly, Azure knocked on the door and entered the room with the share transfer document. “Once you put your

signature on this paper, thirty percent of Gibson Corporation’s shares will be yours. With that, you’ll become the

biggest shareholder in the company.”

Without hesitation, Christina put her signature on the document as she desperately needed money.

After all, whoever could provide the children with a better environment was more likely to win their custody.

The difference between Christina’s and Nathaniel’s status was too significant. Therefore, if she couldn’t rapidly

close that gap, she could never snatch the children’s custody from him.

Azure watched Christina sign before handing the document to the latter. “From this moment onward,

you’re the largest shareholder in Gibson Corporation. I hope you’ll lead the company to greater heights.”

“I will do my best, Grandma.” Christina nodded.

Abruptly, urgent footsteps disturbed the tender moment in the study.

When Anya saw the signed document, her eyes almost popped from her skull. “How can you hand all the shares to

Christina, Grandma?” Now that Christina’s the biggest shareholder in Gibson Corporation, she can become the CEO!

Doesn’t that mean she can do whatever she wants to me in the company?

With a serious expression, Azure answered, “This is what Christina deserves.” I took Yerek’s shares away, leaving

only three percent behind.

Anya was upset. “Christina’s just a designer, Grandma. There’s no way she knows how to run a company!” How can

someone who has never learned a thing about business management helm such a big company?

Patting her shoulder, Azure replied, “She can learn. With your help, she’ll definitely be able to take good care of the

company.”

Me? Helping Christina? What kind of joke is that? Then again, so what if Christina’s entering the company? I’ll find a

way to kick her out! Anya stifled her reaction so her grandmother wouldn’t notice her true thoughts and narrowed

her eyes at Christina. “Christina, I’m very experienced as I’ve been the vice CEO of the company for almost four

years. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me about it.”

Christina spotted the cold look in her sister’s eyes. “I will.”

Meanwhile, Azure was contended to see the sisters getting along with each other. “With you sisters working hard

with each other, the Gibson family will no doubt reach a greater height.”

Christina left the study and returned to her room to read the company document. I don’t have time to waste. I

need to adapt to my new identity as soon as possible. The children are still waiting for me at Scenic Garden Manor.

Lucas and Camila were unhappy that their mother disappeared after they were brought to Scenic Garden Manor.

They cried for their mother the whole day. Additionally, they refused to drink or eat, worrying Raymond, With no

other choice, Raymond sought help from Nathaniel.

It’s been twelve hours. Christina didn’t call even once to ask about the kids. Nathaniel narrowed his pursed lips.

When did she become that ruthless? I’m really surprised.

eyes

with

Raymond asked in a worried tone, “Will Mrs. Hadley never return?”

A gloomy vibe enveloped Nathaniel as he stood up. “She’ll return.”

Then he exited the study and headed downstairs.

Lucas and Camila sat on the couch grumpily, believing their father was why their mother disappeared. After all, she

was smiling when they went to buy toys earlier.

When Lucas saw his father approaching, he leaped from the couch and hugged the latter’s leg. “I want Mommy,

Daddy!”

“Daddy, does Mommy not want me anymore?” Camila had always looked adorable. However, when she furrowed

her eyebrows with teary eyes, she appeared even more sympathetic.

Nathaniel carried the children. “You’re both too adorable for Mommy to abandon you. She’s just busy with work

lately. Once she has finished her work, she’ll return.”

“Really?” The kids stared at him earnestly.

He nodded. “Of course. You two better eat well, or else Mommy will scold you when she returns and sees how thin

you two have become.”

His words successfully convinced them. While hugging his father’s neck, Lucas smiled. “We want Daddy to eat with

us!”

“I will.” Nathaniel pecked his children’s cheeks and brought them to the dining hall.

After dinner, he tucked them in. He then returned to his study to continue his work until midnight.

Nathaniel spent his following days busy taking care of company matters and the children.

A month later, a red Jaguar drove into Scenic Garden Manor. After the car was parked, the driver opened the door.

Madison exited the vehicle in a strapless red gown. Peering at the building, she grinned and stepped into it.

When she did, she saw the children playing with toy blocks in the living room. I should improve my relationship with

them so we’ll get along better in the future.

She approached them, beaming. “Camila, Lucas, what are you two playing?”
