Let Me Stay The Night Novel - Season 2 Episode 54

Christina nodded with a smile and had the salesperson put the dresses into a bag

However, she handed Julia’s credit card back to Olivia and had her return it to Julia. After paying for the dresses with her own money, Christina breathed a sigh of relief as she had finally completed her

task.

She was about to have the butler drive Olivia back to the Hadley residence when Olivia clung tightly to

her arm.

“It has been forever since I last visited Jadeborough, and I don’t know anyone of my age here. Could I spend the night at your place, Christina? I have work tomorrow and will leave after attending the wedding the day after. Will you please take me in for one night? Pretty please?”

“A-All right, then…”

Since Olivia was a young girl all by herself in Jadeborough, Christina couldn’t bring herself to say no to her. She then brought Olivia over to Scenic Garden Manor.

They had just gotten out of the car when two bodyguards came over and stopped them.

“Mr. Hadley has specifically mentioned that strangers are not allowed in Scenic Garden Manor, Mrs. Hadley,”

“She’s Nathaniel’s cousin, so it’s okay to let her in,” Christina explained.

“No can do. We are not allowed to let anyone else in without Mr. Hadley’s permission,” the bodyguard said firmly and refused to budge.

Christina had wanted to explain herself further, but the bodyguards simply stared straight ahead and stood there like statues.

“I’m sorry, Christina! Am I causing you trouble?” Olivia had never seen anything like this, so she was on the verge of crying out of fear.

I brought Olivia over myself, so they have no right to stop her from entering!

With that in mind, Christina asked, “I’m the lady of this house. How dare you two defy me?”

The bodyguards froze up as it was the first time they had seen Christina behave like this.

Having seen how Nathaniel treated Christina in the past, they knew he would definitely say yes if she gave him a call.

As such, they decided not to stop her and let them both in.

After bringing Olivia into the house, Christina had the butler prepare the guest room on the first floor

for her.

Since Christina still had some work to do, she went into the study upstairs.

Renee gave her a video call and said while trying on a wedding gown. “This wedding gown looks amazing, Christina! I’ve taken lots of pictures carlier. Ill hang them up in the gallery during the banquet!”

Christina also saw Renee’s husband, Hansel Headingten, standing behind her. They were both wearing. outfits that Christina had personally designed and created, which made them look perfect for each

other.

“You have got to attend my wedding the day after tomorrow, Christina!” Renee said with her hands on her hips.

She only behaved like that because the two of them were very close friends, though.

Christina nodded with a smile. “Sure thing. I’ll be there”

She wanted to be present at the wedding to experience the grandness and feel the heartwarming. ambiance of watching her friend get married.

After getting off the phone, Christina went back to concentrating on her design drawing. Due to the recent high amounts of workload, she had no choice but to work overtime.

A few hours soon came to pass, but she was so absorbed in her work that she didn’t even realize the sky had turned dark.

The manor was so grand that even the guest room was incredibly huge.

Olivia had always known since she was little that she had a wealthy cousin brother.

Despite his excellence and good looks, however, he was also very cold and prideful. It got to a point. where he wouldn’t even play with the other kids of his age.

She then retrieved a nightgown from her suitcase. The nightgown looked rather cute and sexy, so it would appeal to almost every man out there.

She had just taken a shower and changed into the nightgown when she heard the sound of a car pulling up outside the manor.

That must be Nathaniel!

Olivia quickly untied her hair and ruffled it a little before heading out the room.

Wait a minute… Would Nathaniel get angry if I just walk up to him like this? I don’t want to upset him or anything!

Unsure of what to do, Olivia quickly ran toward the stairs when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

“Christina?” Nathaniel called out to her.

Because Olivia had her back turned, all Nathaniel saw was her slender figure from behind.

Olivia froze when she heard what he said.

Did Nathaniel just mistake me for Christina? Well, Christina and I do have similar figures, so it’s no surprise if he mistakes me for her. Honestly, though, I think I’m rauch smarter and better looking than Christina! At the very least, I wouldn’t just bring another woman home…

Nathaniel had walked up to Olivia while she was still lost in thought.

His huge figure cast a tall shadow on the ground, and Olivia could feel his domineering aura without even looking at him.

A perfect man like Nathaniel has got to be the man of every woman’s dreams!

Nathaniel was about to place his hand on Olivia’s shoulders when Christina called out to him from upstairs, “Welcome home, Nathaniel!”

The air felt as though it had frozen around them.

Nathaniel’s brow knitted into a frown as he shifted his gaze between Christina, who was coming down the stairs, and the slender woman standing in front of him.

Olivia trembled slightly when she felt an icy-cold aur coming from behind. She then slowly turned around and said, “Hi, Nathaniel. It’s me, Olivia.”

As they hadn’t seen each other in a very long time, Olivia wasn’t sure if Nathaniel would still remember her.

Nathaniel’s frown deepened as he asked, “Who are you?”

As Christina reached the floor they were on, she noticed a hint of shyness in Olivia’s expression.

Wait a minute… A girl would only make that face when shes around her crush! They’re cousins, aren’t they? Why would she make that face around him?

With that in mind, Christina walked up to Nathaniel and wrapped her arms around his. “She’s your cousin, Nathaniel. Do you not know that?”

“I don’t remember,” Nathaniel replied coldly as though Olivia was a complete stranger to him.

Things got so awkward that it felt as though the air had stopped.

Olivia let out an awkward chuckle and explained softly, “We have only met a few times in the past, so it makes sense that you wouldn’t remember me.”

They never greeted each other during those few times they met, so it was no different from being total

strangers.

“She’s the daughter of Mrs. Hadley’s cousin sister, though. How could you forget her?” Christina asked with a frown.

I thought these two would at least know each other, but that clearly isn’t the case here. They’re acting as though they have never met each other! How odd…

Their conversation was interrupted when the butler came over and said, “Mr. Hadley, Mrs. Hadley, dinner has been served.”

“Hearing that makes me hungry. Come on. Let’s go and have dinner!” Christina said while dragging Nathaniel over by the arm.

Olivia felt jealous when she saw how intimate they were with each other.

When all three of them were seated at the table, she tried to gain Nathaniel’s attention by talking in detail about their past encounters in hopes of him remembering her.

Olivia was delighted when Nathaniel placed his utensils down all of a sudden, only to hear him ask, “So, you’re that girl my aunt adopted?”
