Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 133

At that time, Julia became discouraged and depressed when she realized what Charlie had done, while Lawrence blamed himself for being unable to protect Julia.

Lawrence suggested to Julia that they leave Jadeborough behind and start a new life overseas before he left the country. Julia, however, turned him down.

Julia sighed. “These are memories from a long time ago. Why are we mentioning it again?”

The past was in the past, and nothing could be done about it.

A disappointment flashed in Lawrence’s eyes. “Yes. We should value the present and the people we

love.”

His words inadvertently revealed the thoughts that were going through his mind. Julia looked into the distance, her eyes darkening. But whether the woman had taken Lawrence’s words to heart remained a

mystery.

Just then, a ringing phone interrupted their thoughts, Lawrence picked up his phone, and it was a call from his assistant asking him to return to sign his documents.

“I’m not free. Let’s talk about this later,” Lawrence replied.

“Wait, Mr. Phelps. You must come here quickly. We need this document immediately…” The assistant was so distraught he wanted to cry. He wouldn’t have called Lawrence if it wasn’t something important.

Lawrence was about to hang up the phone when Julia snatched it from him. Her voice was soft as she spoke into the receiver. “Do not worry about it. Mr. Phelps will be heading back now.”

“All right. Thank you.”

After that, Julia dropped Lawrence’s phone into his pocket and advised softly, “You should go back

now.”

Dissatisfaction appeared on Lawrence’s face. “They will try to annoy and anger you again if I’m gone!”

At least Julia has me on her side if I’m here, and I can help her annoy Charlie too!

Julia smiled. “I’ve been through many things these few years, okay? Let’s meet again. But for now, your

work comes first.”

Lawrence, aware of Julia’s persistence and determination to do things her way, sighed and promised to meet with her the next time before he left.

Meanwhile, Christina linked arms with Nathaniel as they headed toward the backyard. They discovered housekeepers carefully picking chamomile in a large empty field.

Christina asked curiously, “Does Mrs. Hadley like to drink chamomile tea?”

Nathaniel tried to recall the information. “I’ve seen her pick it but never seen her consume it.”

Christina walked over and observed the housekeepers fill the chamomile into a special clear glass jar with the logo of an old trademark, “Hearty,” printed on the front and a packet of desiccant on the bottom to ensure freshness.

She pulled out her phone to do a background search on the brand. There she discovered their website with detailed information but no address or online store, which Christina found bizarre.

Since there was still time before dinner began, the two returned to the living room after their walk in the garden.

Linda and Charlie sat on the couch in the middle, drinking tea and chatting happily. If one had no idea of the situation, one would think Linda was the real Mrs. Hadley.

No wonder Mrs. Hadley had spoken so harshly to them! Who in their right mind would joyfully accept a mistress into their relationship? Charlie has gone overboard with that he did!

“She is not an elder.”

To him, an elder was someone he respected, not hated. The memories of Linda being the woman who ruined his family’s blissful life and destroyed his peaceful childhood were etched deeply into his mind.

But why? Why can this woman be happy with my dad while my mom has to cry and live sadly daily? I will never forget how their affair depressed my mom while I stood by as a young man. That is why I hate them!

Charlie felt his blood boiling. He was about to end the conversation and leave when Christina tugged at his shirt. “Dad, can I talk to you in private?”

The respect Christina showed him caused Charlie’s anger to fizzle. He couldn’t bring himself to be angry with her. “Of course.”

Christina breathed a sigh of relief when Charlie agreed to her suggestion. It seemed that Charlie harbored no animosity toward her.

“Shall we go for a walk outside?” Christina proposed.

“All right.”

With that, they went out, one by one.

In the meantime, Linda stared at Christina’s back, not understanding what the latter was trying to do. She did not believe that Christina would speak on behalf of Julia since the two women did not get along well.

The pleasant scent of jasmine was in the air as Christina and Charlie walked through the garden one after the other, with the woman taking the lead.

When they were about to arrive at the spot where Christina had seen the housekeepers picking chamomile, she asked, “Dad, chamomile teas benefit one’s health. Where do you usually get your supply?”

“My friend bought it for me. Why? Do you want to get some for yourself?”

Charlie stared at Christina in confusion. Didn’t she say she had something to say? If so, why did she stay quiet? And why is she asking me about those cheap chamomiles?
