Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 187

“Ms. Hadley, why didn’t you tell me you were coming back? I could’ve picked you up at the airport,” said Madison with a smile.

Madison’s mother, Luna Lancester, and Sierra were best friends. In fact, the latter practically watched Madison grow up.

Unlike Julia, Sierra wished Nathaniel could marry an outstanding woman like Madison.

Madison’s words put Sierra in a good mood. “It’s been six months since we last saw each other. You’re getting more beautiful and looking more like a matriarch now.”

“Stop teasing me, Ms. Hadley,” Madison said shyly,

The two chatted happily for a while.

The more they enjoyed their time together, the more Sierra found it a pity that Madison was not married to Nathaniel. “If only you were the one Nathaniel married, I would be clated.”

Madison was pleased to find Sierra sided with her..

It proved that she could easily take over Christina’s place in the future.

Naturally, Madison seized the opportunity to criticize Christina in front of Sierra. She even complained to the latter that Christina constantly visited Nathaniel’s office and interrupted his work.

Sierra already despised Christina in the first place. Hence, everything the latter did, no matter how insignificant they were, sounded like heinous crimes.

Snorting coldly, Sierra said, “That brat is being all arrogant just because she has Nathaniel backing her. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely make you his wife as long as I’m alive.”

In the meantime, Sharon said she wanted to return to her condominium after cleaning Scenic Garden Manor.

She would not stay, no matter how Christina persuaded her. “I’m used to living alone. You and Nathaniel can visit me when you’re free.”

“All right. I’ll send you back, then.”

Hence, Christina applied for a day’s leave to send her mother back.

The condominium looked brand new after it was cleaned. After helping to arrange the furniture, Christina prepared dinner and ate with Sharon before returning to Scenic Garden Manor.

Christina went straight to her room to sleep.

Wisps of moonlight shone on the bed in the middle of the night, revealing the blanket that was kicked off the bed by Christina.

The way she slept on her side looked lazy yet attractive, as if she was a kitten.

Nathaniel had just arrived and still had the car’s conditioning emanating from his body.

Walking over, he placed the blanket over her and kissed her gently on the forehead.

“Mm…” Christina murmured and turned around to continue sleeping.

Nathaniel gazed at the woman, who smiled in her sleep, before taking a shower and leaving.

Rays of the morning sun flooded into the room the next day.

Christina turned around and pulled the blanket into her embrace. It felt warm.

Hmm?

She had the habit of kicking her blanket away when she slept. Hence, she would always be woken up by the cold. Why is the blanket tucked firmly over me? I think I dreamt of Nathaniel last night. Is he back?

When she went to the bathroom to wash up, the sight of his suit in the laundry basket confirmed her suspicion.

He must be busy. He came home so late from work and left after only taking a shower.

Soon, she arrived at Radiant Corporation. That day, Christina wanted to survey the stores and prepare a

report.

Coincidentally, Christina bumped into Sierra at one of the stores under her care that sold high–end

gowns.

The two parted on bad terms previously, hence they did not look too happy upon meeting each other.

Sierra’s gaze was frosty as she said, “Christina, you’re a member of the Hadley family and have everything you need at Scenic Garden Manor. Why do you need to come out here to do such a lowly job?”

-Looks like Nathaniel doesn’t treat her as well as I thought.

She believed Nathaniel was not the kind of person who would let his woman show herself in public.

However, Christina had no intention of explaining anything. After all, people who did not understand would never get it.

What a joke. How dare a mere server offer to pay for my gown?

Regardless, Sierra still looked down on Christina. She’ll never get into the Hadley family, no matter how great
