Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 355

“Mr. Hadley ordered me to keep you safe.”

Christina paused upon hearing that.

So he was worried about failing to comply with Nathaniel’s order? He’s so devoted to his job. No wonder Nathaniel doesn’t even bother giving me a call. Mr. Bodyguard is probably reporting my whereabouts to him at all times.

“Christina, it’s time for dinner,” Ginny piped up, stretching her body. As she rotated her waist, her bones

cracked.

Christina looked out of the window and noticed the night had fallen.

Ferropenians usually had dinner at a later time, so now was the perfect time to eat.

“Shall we eat at the hotel’s restaurant downstairs?” she inquired.

If Ginny weren’t around, Christina would probably be too lazy to even walk out of the room.

M

However, Ginny opposed, “What’s there to eat at the hotel restaurant? Let me bring you to a restaurant nearby. I’ll treat you.”

“”

Despite Christina’s objection to Ginny’s offer to treat her, the latter took her by the arm and pulled her out of the room.

Nathaniel followed closely, his gaze focused on Christina.

After filling their stomachs with a hearty dinner, Ginny suggested walking back to the hotel.

The restaurant was only two streets away from the hotel, making it perfect for a postprandial stroll.

At almost ten in the evening, the streets were practially empry.

It was much colder at night. While Christina was walking, she suddenly felt a jacket being draped over her shoulders. The warm scent of sandalwood immediately enveloped her, chasing the cold away.

Christina tucked her neck slightly as her glistening eyes lit up with delight. “Thank you.”

In response, her bodyguard simply let out a hum of acknowledgment.

When they reached an intersection, they came across a gang of riders who were speaking a language Christina couldn’t understand.

One of them passed by Christina and threw her a few lewd remarks, to which Ginny immediately responded with harsh words.

Unexpectedly, her statement angered them.

After driving past, the thugs turned around and began encircling the trio.

Christina instinctively reached out for Ginny’s hand and persuaded, “That’s enough.”

She could tell at first glance that these men were no righteous characters.

The thugs with colorful hair and tattooed bodies dismounted their motorcycles and set their eyes on the

two ladies.

They continued to provoke the trio verbally, while Ginny stepped forward and cursed them in return, yelling at them to get lost.

However, the thugs did not take her seriously. Without further ado, the man who seemed to be their leader grabbed Ginny by the collar.

His ferocious expression intimidated Christina, who hurriedly called out, “Mr. Bodyguard, help her!”

With a calm countenance, Nathaniel shielded Christina behind him. “Don’t go anywhere.”

Then, he stepped toward Ginny before throwing out a punch from behind the woman.

Ginny could clearly hear his fist slicing through the air. The next moment, the man holding Ginny by the collar yelped in pain and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

At the sight of their companion being hit, the other men were vexed.

They cursed loudly and charged toward Nathaniel.

“Mr. Bodyguard, be careful!”

Christina’s body was taut with nervousness as she glanced at her bodyguard worriedly. Although he looked quite burly, she wasn’t sure if he could handle so many men at once.

On their way back, Ginny couldn’t stop giving him heart eyes. His slender and agile figure earlier kept flashing in her mind, making her heart race.
