Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 263

Christina chuckled and got up from Nathaniel’s embrace. “Carry on with your discussion. I shall head downstairs.”

After clearing up the plates and cutlery, she then left the study.

As she was passing Madison, Christina could sense that Madison was smiling very unnaturally. It seemed that she did not mean what she said.

Once downstairs, the butler took the plates and cutlery from Christina and prepared breakfast for her.

Sebastian already had his breakfast, and he went back to the company to get some documents because Nathaniel would not be going to the office for the next few days. In fact, he would even be holding all of his meetings online.

As noon approached, both Sebastian and Madison had already made quite a number of trips.

Christina was seated on a single–seater couch in the study and drawing her designs. Recently, she learned to use the tablet for design drawing and found many functions on it. It would take her quite some time before she learned everything.

While she was focusing on the various functions, their conversation caught her attention.

Christina stopped whatever she was doing and looked up.

Sebastian was holding onto a folder and frowned. “How did I miss this one out?”

“A few days ago, I couldn’t get in touch with you or Mr. Hadley, so I left a few documents aside. Both of you have no time to look through them. That’s why you know nothing about it.”

To that, Sebastian nodded and sighed with deep emotion. “That’s right. We were trying to find out the truth and had no time for work…” He paused and realized that he should not be talking about the unhappy incident. “Right, I’ll deal with these documents.”

There was also a slight change in Madison’s expression. Then, she too took some documents and left with Sebastian.

As she was passing Christina, she took note of her expression, but there was nothing strange about her. Christina was looking as calm as ever, and she was concentrating on her tablet.

Madison heaved a sigh of relief secretly. Hopefully, Christina didn’t notice anything amiss.

The moment the study door shut, Christina recalled Madison asking her about her injury that morning. She wanted to know if they had caught the person who did it to her.

That incident did not make it to the news. Also, Madison had no contact with Sebastian during those days. How does she know that I’m injured?

Even if she has seen my injury, she should have asked me how I got it instead.

How is it that Madison seem to know everything?

Christina’s head started to hurt as she pondered on the matter. She inhaled deeply. By the time she returned to her senses, someone took the pen away from her. “If you aren’t feeling well, take a rest.”

Christina looked up and blinked. She then stretched out her arms and said, “Then carry me to the bed, so I can take a nap.”

Although her wound was almost healed, she had taken some anti–inflammatory medicine as a preventive measure, and the medicine made her tired easily.

For someone who had always been fine, she had been feeling sleepy for the past few days.

Nathaniel pinched her nose and said, “Lazy bum.”

He scooped her light body up from the couch as if she was a small and cute animal.

Nathaniel stayed with Christina until she fell asleep before he left the room.

Just as he walked out of the bedroom, his phone rang.

It was Sebastian. “Mr. Hadley, Mr. Larson says he is free to discuss the Yeringham project tonight. Shall I make arrangements for it?”

The Yeringham project was something that Nathaniel had been looking forward to for a while now. That project involved a huge amount of funds, so a simple phone call would not suffice. There were lots of details that required constant communication from both parties.

Nathaniel gritted his teeth lightly before replying, “Set up the meeting.”

“Yes.” Sebastian acknowledged before setting up the meeting time.
