Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 408

Christina was slightly confused. “You’re saying that Nathaniel didn’t agree to cooperate with Taggart Group?”

Madison’s rage intensified when she saw the clueless Christina.

“Stop pretending in front of me!” Madison pushed her out of anger.

That caught Christina off guard, and she almost fell to the floor.

As soon as Christina raised her eyes again, her expression had darkened.

She had never thought about stopping them from collaborating from the moment she learned about it.

Seeing that she wasn’t saying anything, Madison added, “Stop acting innocent. You were worried that I would snatch Nathaniel away from you, so you did everything you could to ruin our cooperation!”

The air was thick with tension.

A series of steady footsteps echoed across the air, and Nathaniel appeared behind Christina. His filled with hostility.

gaze was

This is my decision. It has nothing to do with others.” Every word he said resembled a knife stabbing ino Madison’s heart.

Madison’s eyes misted over as she looked at him in disbelief. “Nathaniel, you were obviously interested in our cooperation…”

“If the cooperation will make you misunderstand our relationship, then I don’t think it’s necessary.” Nathaniel grabbed Christina’s hand and headed to the office. “Sebastian, send her out.”

Everyone could sense Nathaniel’s displeasure and even his fury.

The executives didn’t say anything more and immediately left the place. Soon, the corridor was empty.

In the office, Nathaniel pressed Christina down on the couch.

“Are you hurt?” He sized her up.

Christina shook her head. “Is it because of me that you refuse to cooperate with them?”

“No. Hadley Corporation has a lot going on. Cooperating with them or not is not going to make any difference.” Nathaniel said calmly as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

That was reasonable. There were hundreds of designers in the design department, which proved that the workload was indeed heavy.

Christina didn’t say anything more, knowing Nathaniel would deal with such things properly.

All of a sudden, her stomach growled.

Nathaniel fixed his eyes on her. “You’re hungry?”

“I came here to have lunch with you.” Christina looked like a kitten who had come over to look for food.

“I’ve booked a place. Let’s go.”

He stood up and left the office with Christina.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at a restaurant.

The waiter brought them to a private room. “What would you like to drink?”

“Earl Grey, Nathaniel said flatly.

Christina came to a realization. “So it’s you who booked the restaurant?”

“To make up for last time,” Nathaniel said with a sincere gaze.

Christina curled her lips slightly. One couldn’t help but be attracted to her because of her delicate face. “I didn’t take it to heart. Why did you book the entire restaurant when it’s only the two of us?”

“I was worried that you would get angry and want a divorce again.” He sounded calm, but he spoke from the heart..

Looking at his serious expression, Christina felt her cheeks flush. “I’m not an unreasonable person.”

Her voice grew softer as she spoke.
