Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 296

Nathaniel wanted to return to his room last night, but it was locked. He’d never been locked out before, and he calmly endured his rage in the study for the entire night.

It wasn’t until the following morning that he went to Raymond to get a spare key to open the door.

With a click, the door finally unlocked.

The morning light poured into the bedroom, highlighting the objects in the room.

Christina was sleeping soundly on the couch. Her slender body curled into a ball.

Nathaniel walked over, his eyes filled with anger. Upon seeing Christina, the anger brewing in his eyes dissipated significantly.

He was furious because of Francis. There was no reason for him to throw a tantrum at Christina.

As a result, he didn’t sleep well all night.

He walked over to the couch and carried Christina in his arms gently as though he was afraid of accidentally hurting her.

Christina had gotten plenty of rest the night before, so she immediately felt Nathaniel’s warm embrace. and familiar scent lingering around her nose.

She groggily opened her eyes to see Nathaniel’s handsome face, accompanied by his loud heartbeats near

her ear

Sensing movement in his arms, Nathaniel lowered his head and saw Christina looking at him with watery

eyes.

Time seemed to stand still as the two stared at each other without saying anything. Although they couldn’t bear looking each other in the eyes the night before, they were now in an embrace.

Nathaniel cleared his throat to case the tension in the air. “You might get sick sleeping on the couch.”

His tone was so placid that it was impossible for one to discern any of his emotions,

Christina felt slightly uncomfortable from his stare and replied. “I’m not sleeping anymore, as I still have many work matters to settle in the studio.”

Nathaniel hummed in acknowledgment and put her down on the ground.

The two had never quarreled, so Christina felt uneasy in such an atmosphere. This is obviously Nathaniel’s fault. If I apologize first, won’t that be too pathetic?

Christina felt an inexplicable sense of danger when she remembered his enraged demeanor the previous night.

Worried that they might get into another argument, she uttered unemotionally, “Tll head downstairs to eat breakfast,”

Then, she left the room before Nathaniel could say anything.

Nathaniel’s face darkened as his temper flared once more. However, as he watched her retreating figure. he felt helpless.

I have already made the first move to try and reconcile with her. What else does she want from me?

When Christina reached the studio, Rayne excitedly ran over to her as she hadn’t been to work for the past two days. “Ms. Christina, we are fully booked for this week! It’s really different once the brand gets a show in the city center! All the rich women in Jadeborough are in a hurry to have you design their

dresses!”

Only the most established brands were able to book such large venues in the city’s high–end shopping

malls.

Christina was well aware that she received such treatment because of Nathaniel’s connections.

She hummed in response before walking toward her office. “What’s the agenda for today?

Once Nathaniel’s health improves, he won’t have to pay all his attention to Christina anymore!
