Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 139

When Christina arrived back at Scenic Garden Manor she was just in time to see the family doctor driving away.

She quickened her pace and strode upstairs. At once, she scented the bitter smell of traditional medicine wafting out from the study.

At that moment, Sebastian was holding a bowl of traditional medicine and urging carnestly. “Mr. Hadley, the doctor has said that it’s best to consume the medicine while it’s hot.”

Coughing softly, Nathaniel inexorably frowned as he eyed the bowl of inky-black medicine. “Take it away.”

“Mr. Hadley…”

Sebastian wanted to persuade the man further, but a frosty glare had him tactfully swallow all the words on the tip of his tongue.

When he turned around dejectedly with the bowl of medicine in hand, he saw Christina heading. toward him. At once, his eyes lit up as though he had seen a ray of hope.

“Mrs. Hadley, quick, talk some sense into Mr. Hadley. He keeps coughing, yet he refuses to take the medicine,” he whispered.

Having said that, he handed the bowl in his hand to her and left the study.

Christina walked over with the bowl of medicine. In a flash, the smell pervaded the air.

A frown marred Nathaniel’s countenance, and he appeared exceedingly averse to that medicinal smell. “Take it away.”

He had always loathed such an odor, finding it bitter and foul. Thus, he had rather take modern

medicine.

Christina was worried that the medicine in her hand would go cold, causing its efficacy to be reduced. significantly. Hurrying over, she coaxed gently, “You’re not feeling well, but you’ll be fine after drinking the medicine. Putting up with it isn’t good for your body.”

Nathaniel lifted his gaze arrogantly, his eyes brimming with disdain. “I’m not sick. I don’t need to drink. this… Ahem, ahem…”

Biting her lower lip, Christina glowered at the man’s stony face. Hah! It’s clear as day that he’s under the weather, but he’s as stubborn as a mule!

Like a crafty squirrel, she leaned close to him with wide eyes and asked, “You’re really not drinking it?”

“No,” Nathaniel answered resolutely.

Christina narrowed her eyes mysteriously. “If so, I’ll pour it down the drain. Are you sure?”

“Yes,” Nathaniel affirmed with all the conviction in the world, not the least bit perturbed.

I’d be more than glad for her to take away the bowl of bitter medicine before me. The reek of it alone is making me sick!

“Okay, then,” Christina replied succinctly.

“What are you doing, Christina?” In the next heartbeat, Nathaniel’s eyes widened as he watched her pick up the bowl and take a gulp of its content.

Before he could figure out what she was trying to do, he had already sealed her lips over his and fed

the medicine to him.

The expected bitterness faded in no time. On the heck of that, Christina’s fragrance washed over him. It felt as though he was swallowing a mouthful of cotton candy.

He was promptly stunned. Christina then fed him the medicine a second time in the same manner before the bowl was emptied.

With their lips meshing together, their scorching breaths melded together. All the blood in their bodies shot up to their heads, swiftly overtaking their reason.

Christina felt as though her heart was moments from pounding out of her chest even as her vision blurred from the blood hazing up her eyes. Subsequently, she was pulled against a warm chest.

The next day, the morning sunlight penetrated the curtains to be reflected sharply on the carpet.

Christina went downstairs for breakfast before going to the office.

As soon as she stepped into the building, her colleagues surrounded her. “What’s your relationship with Francis Fernando, Ms. Steele?”

“Can you please get us his autograph?”

It was not until then that Christina learned that the photos of her attending the event with her. grandmother last night made the headlines. Consequently, many people saw the photo of her with

Francis.

Seeing that they saw the photo, Nathaniel must have also seen it. But ever since I went home last night, I hadn’t sensed any reaction from him regarding this matter.

Therefore, she did not take it to heart.
