Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 182

Christina stood at the door and looked inside in disbelief.

At that moment. Gideon was sitting next to the bed with a bowl of oatmeal in his hand. With a tender look in his eyes, he said, “Christina should’ve told me you got sick.”

With that, he fed Sharon a spoonful of oatmeal.

Christina went into the ward and asked in a cold and surprised tone, “Why are you here?”

Gideon chuckled and said, “Oh, come on. Your mom is sick. There’s nothing wrong with me visiting her.”

After saying that, Gideon sized Christina up. She’s wearing decent clothes and carrying a branded handbag. It seems that Nathaniel has been taking good care of her!

Christina was having none of it, and she let out a cold snort. “I didn’t see you here when we needed to pay, for the medical fees. You’re only here to act like a nice guy now that Mom is healthier. Why are you doing this?”

Gideon felt awkward upon hearing that. Miranda was right. This brat has a sharp tongue now, and she’s so cold- hearted. However, I came here for a reason. I can’t afford to kick up a fuss.

In the end, Sharon, who was lying on the bed, eased the tension by saying, “It’s so rare to see your dad here. Stop arguing with each other, okay?”

Christina didn’t reply because she was worried about agitating Sharon.

She approached the bed and took out a thermos flask to feed Sharon a spoonful of soup she brought.

Gideon saw the expensive ingredients in Christina’s soup, but he didn’t feel defeated. Instead, he was even more sure about how well Christina was doing financially. She must have a lot of extra cash at her disposal!

When the visitation hours ended, Christina packed her things and left.

The two entered the elevator one after another.

In the elevator, Gideon chuckled and asked, “Christina, you’ve been getting along with Mr. Hadley, right?”

Christina merely hummed in response.

Gideon was displeased when his daughter treated him like a stranger. “What’s the matter with you? Is that how you should talk to your father?” he grumbled.

Christina looked as calm as ever, and she didn’t even bother responding. What did he expect? Has he forgotten how he wanted to let an old man sleep with me? Has he forgotten about the fact that he gave me to the Hadley family for money? Vrelied on myself to get to where I am today. I don’t owe the Steele family anything.

Seeing that the elevator was reaching the ground floor, Gideon held Christina’s wrist. In a polite tone, he pleaded, “I know you’re still angry at me, Christina. Still, I raised you back then. Could you please help me out? The company is in trouble now. If you don’t help me, it’s going belly up. To be fair, I was the one who supported you financially before you became an adult. Would you just help me?”

Fortunately for him, Christina wasn’t a heartless lady. Well, I used to stay under the Steele family’s roof back then.

That thought melted her heart immediately. “How much do you need?” she asked.

Gideon whipped out a contract he had prepared earlier and passed it to Christina. “As long as Mr. Hadley signs this, the Steele family will be safe!”

Christina took the contract without even looking at it. Right then, she recalled how Miranda had gone to her office that day and caused a scene.

“Fine, but you must tell Miranda and Emilia to stop messing with me again,” Christina said.

“Sure! That won’t be a problem. When I return, I’ll tell them to leave you alone!” Gideon agreed readily. “Feel free to bring Mr. Hadley home for dinner when you have the time for it.” Gideon knew he needed. the powerful Hadley family to turn things around.

Christina narrowed her eyes and replied, “Sure, but you must kick Miranda out of the house beforehand because I don’t want to go home to see someone I hate.”

Gideon saw how great Christina was doing and regretted it. I picked the wrong girl!

“Darling, was I right? Christina isn’t helping us, is she?” Miranda went up to Gideon. That brat thinks she’s all that. Why would she help us?
