Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 135

As indecision set in upon Charlie, the sight of the heavy rain outside did make him feel like staying.

“Can’t you just call the driver to pick you up?” Julia commented abruptly, plunging the warm atmosphere that had just begun to build into an icy abyss.

Her response caused cold sweat to break out across Christina’s forehead. Shouldn’t she be trying to get him to stay? Why is she trying to kick him ost?

“It’s dangerous to drive in such inclement weather,” Christina advised softly.

Seemingly adamant about being uncooperative, Julia disagreed, “He no longer has a room here. If he wants to stay, he’ll have to sleep in the living room.”

The hostile attitude she displayed dampened the spirits of everyone present.

The infuriated Charlie let out an exasperated snort. Do you really want me to leave that much? In that case, I’ll stay just to spite you.

“This is the Hadley residence. I can come and go as I please. The master bedroom is mine.”

With that, he headed upstairs directly.

Watching the fuming silhouette disappear, Christina suddenly felt as if her plan had strangely succeeded.

At the same time, Julia gave Christina a complicated look, one that the latter couldn’t decipher.

“Let’s go home.”

Nathaniel took Christina’s hand and headed for the door. He knew that she wanted to mend his parents’ relationship but was also aware of what a thankless task it was.

Cognizant of her good intentions, he gave her head a gentle tousle. “Don’t worry about them.”

The next day, Charlie emerged from the master bedroom and had breakfast before going back to Yeatder Villa.

The moment he returned, Linda welcomed him excitedly. “Charlie, why didn’t you call or come home last night?”

She almost wanted to barge into the Hadley residence and bring him back out of desperation.

Charlie, who was in a good mood, was annoyed at being questioned by her. “My phone’s battery went dead last night. The rain was also too heavy for me to leave.”

“Did you spend the night at the Hadley residence?” Linda felt as if the fortress she had built around her was under attack.

D*mn it. All these years, Charlie would not stay overnight at the Hadley residence even if he went back. Was it something Christina said or some trick Julia employed?

“That’s my home. What’s the big deal about staying the night there?” Charlie snapped.

His displeasure reminded Linda that she had overreacted. Suppressing her temper at once, she leaned into his arms. “I was scared when you didn’t come home last night. Do you know how terrifying the

thunder was?”

Charlie was slightly stunned before patting her on the shoulder. “It was only for one night.”

“You don’t have to explain. I trust you. I’m sure you haven’t had breakfast yet. I’ll get the kitchen to prepare something.” Linda suggested with a smile as she headed toward the kitchen.

Regardless of the burning questions she had, she knew that asking them would be futile.

Men hated it when women didn’t trust them. Even if Charlie had rekindled his feelings for Julia or felt guilty the night before, Linda was confident that behaving sensibly was the way to win his heart.

Julia still has to step up her game if she wants to take my man away from me.

Nonetheless, it was clear from the incident that Christina wasn’t on her side. As the latter had been putting in good words on Julia’s behalf, Linda knew she couldn’t drop her guard against her.

With that thought in mind, Linda gave Francis a call. Francis, Christina isn’t one to be trifled with. You had better stay vigilant against her.”
