Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 124

After getting into the car, Christina felt a little uneasy when she saw Julia sitting in the back seat. “I think I should ride shotgun.”

Sebastian reached his arm out and blocked her path. “That’s my spot, Ms. Christina. It’s really spacious. in the back, so you won’t feel cramped at all.”

Realizing that she had nothing to say in retaliation, Christina had no choice but to give up on the front seat. “All right, then.”

After making sure that everyone was seated, the driver started the car and drove off.

The atmosphere in the back of the car was ridiculously tense, and the silence felt deafening. It was already tense with Nathaniel around, but Julia’s presence took things to the next level.

Christina was so uptight that she didn’t even dare breathe out loud as she sat there with her palms on

her knees.

As the car slowly cruised down the road, Christina couldn’t help but feel as though the driver was slowing down on purpose.

Julia felt pressure on her shoulder when the car pulled up at a traffic light. She turned her head in

confusion, only to see Christina resting her head on her shoulder.

What? Even Nathaniel has never been this close to me! Who does she think she is? How dare she rest her head on my shoulder?

Suppressing her rage, Julia was about to move Christina’s head away, but Nathaniel grabbed her by the wrist. “She didn’t get enough sleep the past few days in order to make you that dress,” he said with at resentful look in his eyes.

Julia shot him a displeased glare as she put her hand down, but her face suddenly turned solemn.

As much as she disliked Christina, Julia decided to let it go since Christina had helped her.

The car soon arrived at the Hadley residence.

Nathaniel carefully pulled Christina into his arms before Julia got out of the car.

Christina frowned slightly in surprise and nuzzled against his chest. As though she had just found a new comfortable spot, Christina continued sleeping soundly.

“Get some rest,” Nathaniel said and rolled up the car window.

Julia’s eyes narrowed as she watched the car drive off

Nathaniel always had an icy-cold expression, but I saw a hint of warmth on his face just now. It’s almost as though he’s becoming more and more human. Is Christina the one who changed him?

As the rays of the morning sun shone into the bedroom, Christina slowly opened her eyes. She sat bolt upright when she recognized the familiar bedroom around her.

Wait a minute… Did I fall asleep on the way home last night? If I recall correctly, I rested my head on Mrs. Hadley’s shoulder… Oh, no! I can’t believe I did something that rude to Mrs. Hadley! She must hate me even more

now! It looks like I’m going to have a lot of trouble maintaining a decent relationship with her…

With that in mind, Christina hopped off the bed, got changed, and ran down the stairs.

To her surprise, Nathaniel had yet to leave the house at that hour. Instead, he was reading the news on his tablet while having breakfast at the dining table.

Is he waiting for me?

“Don’t you have to go to work?” Christina asked curiously while making her way over.

The look in Nathaniel’s eyes was still cold as he replied, “I was waiting for you so we could head over together.”

Christina let out a soft chuckle when she heard that. After all, Nathaniel hardly ever waited for anyone. It was usually others who waited for him instead.
