Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 308

Her soft, yet determined voice left Nathaniel stunned, but soon, his anger quickly overtook his rationality,

“Now that things have come to this, do you think I will believe in your words and pretend nothing has ever happened?”

He then grabbed Christina’s jaw with his hand, forcing her to lift her head. Her glimmering eyes beneath her fluttering eyelashes made her look somewhat piteous.

Staring at her delicate face, Nathaniel spoke after a brief pause. “You can’t afford to bear the consequences of fooling me, Christina!”

Christina wanted nothing more than to rip those photos to shreds. Even though her heart was filled with hatred, she was too exhausted to do anything about it.

“Either you let me go, or just strangle me to death!”

She would not have gone against Nathaniel like that if she had not been forced into a corner.

A frosty and menacing look surfaced in his eyes. “I won’t let you go, nor will I let you die.”

This woman sure doesn’t know how to back down, huh? She used to love putting on an innocent and adorable act before me, but now that her true colors have been exposed, she doesn’t even bother pretending anymore. How ridiculous!

“Let me go, Nathaniel…” Christina coughed as Nathaniel unknowingly tightened his grip on her neck, almost suffocating her.

He hastily released her and got up to leave, worried that he might do something unthinkable to her if he lingered there any longer.

Nathaniel didn’t intend to hurt Christina, but he couldn’t restrain himself from overthinking whenever he saw her face.

The door slammed shut, completely isolating the bedroom from the outside world.

Christina inhaled sharply and collapsed limply on the bed as if wholly drained of all strength.

Tears streamed quietly down her face Despite the immense pain in her heart, she was not hysterical or enraged. Instead, she merely cried in silence.

It was as if her heart had been frozen, devoid of any emotion.

She eventually fell asleep in a daze, but there seemed to be an invisible weight crushing her heart, causing her utter discomfort.

In her dream, she was running across a vast desert when a baby’s voice rang in her car.

“Mommy, please stop running. I’m so hungry. I have no more strength. Don’t cry, Mommy. I will feel sad

100,”

Meanwhile, Nathaniel stayed the night in his study.

The next morning, he freshened up and changed into a crisp, clean suit, looking dashing and regal.

Even so, his eyes were filled with thick gloominess that could never be dispelled.

As he approached the master bedroom, he glanced at it with an inexplicable expression.

At that moment, Raymond and the housekeeper brought some breakfast over and asked, “Would you like to have some breakfast, Mr. Hadley?”

Nathaniel retracted his gaze and replied, “No need.”

“As a servant, I know it’s not my place to pry, but married couples ought to be committed to love and respect for one another. Regardless of what happened, you should not hold a grudge against Mrs. Hadley.” Raymond’s voice was soft and meek, but he sincerely hoped the both of them could reconcile.

Upon hearing Raymond’s words, Nathaniel frowned. After a brief silence, he said, “Get the bodyguards to guard the main entrance, and let her come out from the room.”

With that, he turned around and went downstairs.

Raymond let out a soft sigh and led the housekeeper into the master bedroom.

Despite having been cleaned once, the room appeared cold and empty, without its previous sense of comfort and coziness.

The housekeeper walked toward the bed. The room was brightly lit, which made the tear stains on Christina’s apparent

“It’s time for breakfast, Mrs. Hadley,” said the housekeeper, gently waking Christina ‘up.

Christina opened her bloodshot eyes in response. Her face was as pale as a sheet, and she looked extremely weak.

She seemed to have heard her children calling out to her last night in her dream and realized that her bad mood would also affect the fetus.

The dream was too surreal, as she could still feel that her eyelashes were wet with tears.

It’s said that emotional instability during pregnancy will affect the development of the baby in the womb. The body must’ve issued a warning to me because I’ve been going through a lot of emotional turmoil lately.

A hint of concern filled Christina’s eyes as she placed her hand on her stomach.
