Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 290

Nathaniel’s displeasure faded significantly as he looked at her innocent face. He wiped her hair using the silk handkerchief. “Why did you attend a function like that?”

She’d still be soaking in water if I hadn’t come over because I was worried. She knows very well that she’s physically weak. What if she falls sick?

After hearing what he said, Christina felt aggrieved. Her eyes reddened instantly. “I didn’t turn her down because she’s your cousin. It’s not like I wanted to attend a party like that.”

She was already thinking of leaving and never expected something like that to happen.

Nathaniel’s expression remained tense. “So what if she’s my cousin? You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. Also, did I give you permission to go?”

His low and steady voice was tinged with dissatisfaction.

Christina sighed helplessly, not knowing how else to explain herself. He’s making it sound like it’s my fault!

Nathaniel, who was used to being a lone wolf that did things his own way, never had to worry about others‘ feelings, let alone bother about maintaining relationships.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to turn down a family member’s invitation, for it would make her seem too cold and distant.

“Forget it. You won’t understand it even if I explained it to you,” said Christina sulkily.

The slight anger in Nathaniel’s eyes intensified. After telling her to dry her hair, he started reviewing the

documents.

On their way back to Scenic Garden Manor, Christina rested her head against the car window and fell asleep.

A ray of light shone in, illuminating her side profile. Her long eyelashes cast shadows beneath her eyes, making her look as gorgeous as an oil painting.

Nathaniel carried her down the car, disturbing her sleep. She stirred before burrowing deeper into his

embrace.

Upon entering the bedroom, Nathaniel placed her on the bed gently before tucking strands of her hair behind her ears, admiring her charming face.

He then used the back of his hand to stroke her smooth cheek, and in response, she subconsciously nuzzled against him.

Blinking slightly, Nathaniel bent down and hugged her.

The stars, shining brightly in the night sky, witnessed the passionate scene that unfolded in the room. Christina woke up groggily the next morning, feeling sore all over.

She placed her hand against her forehead and was relieved that she wasn’t running a fever.

Seeing that it was already past nine in the morning, she struggled to sit up and rummaged through her bag for that pill bottle.

She opened it and popped a white pill into her mouth, completely ignorant that the pill had already been. swapped.

Now that her career was on the rise, she did not want it to be impeded by pregnancy. It was not too late to

think about that after her career stabilized.

Nathaniel pushed the door open and walked in with breakfast. Coincidentally, he witnessed Christina placing that pill bottle into the drawer.

A grim look flashed across his eyes. “Come here and have breakfast.”

“Okay” replied Christina before walking over. The two of them had breakfast in silence.

She glanced upward silently and observed Nathaniel’s expression. The look on his face changed when he spotted the pill bottle. Am I overthinking or does he actually want a baby?

After thinking about it for a while, she didn’t say a word and went to the studio after finishing breakfast.
