Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 390

Christina enjoyed her leisure time alone a lot.

After perusing the book on marriage law she had bought, she realized it was useless and randomly remembered the yarn ball she purchased a few days ago.

With that, she grabbed all the necessary tools and started knitting casually on the couch.

Knitting required a lot of effort. Nonetheless, it had a soothing effect on an agitated mind.

As the night grew darker, she grew tired and eventually fell asleep on the couch.

The next day, she woke up with a cold, sneezing continuously.

She opened her wardrobe to take out a trench coat and wore it before heading to work.

As Christina arrived at the office, she spotted a bouquet of roses and already knew who the sender was.

“Christina, Mr. Gibson seems to be serious about you. I think you should find time to make things clear with him.” Rayne held the flowers, preparing to throw them away.

“I’ll handle it.”

Christina had always thought that Yerek behaved that way out of courtesy. Never had she expected him to be that serious.

Christina finally got off work in the evening, and Yerek was waiting for her at the entrance in his car.

After getting into his car, the two of them headed to a beach.

The gentle sea breeze blew as colorful light bulbs adorned the beach’s surroundings. It was a particularly romantic atmosphere there.

“I’ve always wanted to have someone to walk on the beach with me, to have someone who could be by my side as we feel the sea breeze and gaze at the beautiful stars in the night sky. A moment of tranquility like this makes me feel extremely peaceful.”

At the end of his utterances, Yerek fixed his attention on Christina.

“I’m pretty sure that many women are willing to accompany you, Mr. Gibson,” replied Christina calmly. There was a faint glimmer in his eyes, and hers remained as calm as still water.

“I can only experience this feeling with someone I like.”

Hearing that, Christina merely responded with a faint smile without replying anything.

Yerek didn’t rush her further. “I’ve reserved a table at a seaside restaurant. Let’s have some dessert there before heading back.”

“Sure.”

As they strolled along the beach, someone pushed Christina abruptly from behind. Losing her balance, Christina staggered before falling on her buttocks.

“What a shameless woman! How dare you seduce someone else’s boyfriend?”

Christina gazed up, and her face darkened immediately when she saw the woman who had just pushed

her.

Judging from the trendy get-up of the blonde, Christina could tell that she was a minor celebrity.

Meanwhile, that woman stared at her with a murderous gaze.

This lady must have misunderstood us.

Yerek froze, seemingly caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this woman.

“Are you out of your mind! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Then, Yerek stepped forward to help Christina up before asking with concern, “Are you injured?”

“I’m fine, but your girlfriend seems troubled. Shouldn’t you be more concerned about her?” Christina dusted off the sand from her body.

“She’s not my girlfriend. We only played around a little.” Yerek glared at the woman furiously, signaling her to leave.

His heartless words caused fury to rise in the blonde like a tide. She yelled, “How dare you, Yerek? Do you remember gifting me flowers persistently when you pursued me? Are you thinking of dumping me now? Dream on!”

Not wanting to argue with her, Yerek turned around and shot his bodyguards a knowing look.

Soon, his bodyguards went up to sandwich the blonde and brought her away.

“Christina, I hope you don’t get the wrong idea. There’s nothing going on between us anymore,” Yerek explained nervously.

As Christina stared into his deep yet mesmerizing eyes, she couldn’t help but feel that the man in front of her was both dangerous and frightening.

Despite that, Christina chuckled lightly, not taking it to heart.

It was never her intention to get close to Yerek from the start. On the contrary, she had always seen him as her enemy.

“If I did so, you would say that I’m disrespecting you again,” Nathaniel said expressionlessly as he walked

inside.

His words sounded somewhat ironic.

Upon entering the house, Christina took off her trench coat and walked to the coffee table to pour herself a glass of water.

“Why are you here this late?”

“Since you are not going back to Scenic Garden Manor, I have no choice but to look for you here.”

Nathaniel sat on the couch and noticed something. “Did you knit this for me?”

It was at that moment Christina noticed her half-completed scarf on the corner of the couch.

Walking over, she hid the unfinished scarf behind her back. “No. Why would I knit this for you?”

There was no way she would show him the unfinished scarf just like that. It would be a different story if it were finished, though.

Christina knitted the scarf groggily last night and made a few mistakes. Therefore, she had to redo a part.

Nathaniel beamed without uttering a word, standing up to take off his suit.

He looked like he was going to stay overnight. Putting her guard up, Christina asked worriedly. “What are you doing?”

“I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.”

Christina walked up to him and blocked his way. “I don’t have any of your clothes here. You should go back to Scenic Garden Manor and rest.”

Right when she finished her sentence, the doorbell rang.

Nathaniel carried her before placing her right in front of the door. “Please get my clothes for me.”

Two minutes later, Christina had a bag of his daily necessities in her hands.

Nathaniel had clearly planned to stay overnight at her place.
