Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 412

Even from a distance, one could feel the chilling atmosphere emanating from inside the car.

“Come on, get in,” Christina urged Rayne.

She did not want to keep the man in the car waiting.

“It’s okay. I’ve booked a cab. You can leave first.” Rayne opened the door for Christina to get in before staying away from the vehicle.

The journey back home was marked by silence inside the car.

“You came to pick me up on purpose?” Christina asked in a relaxed tone.

+5 Bonus.

“Yeah. I was passing by anyway.” Nathaniel replied flatly, his eyes darkening slightly as he looked at the photos on the tablet.

Sebastian’s lips twitched. Passing by? We clearly took a detour to come here!

A heavy atmosphere permeated the car. The man’s sandalwood scent blended with the cool air, creating an enchanting ambiance.

“I was impressed by what you did earlier,” Nathaniel said with a smirk, his eyes enigmatic.

Christina’s cheeks turned crimson. Nathaniel was always aware of everything she did as if he had installed a tracking device above her head.

“She started it first. She even wanted to hit me. I was just protecting myself,” Christina muttered, defending her action.

Nathaniel rested his chin on his hand, casually glancing at her flushed face. “You did what was necessary. Don’t ever let anyone walk all over you.”

Christina widened her clear eyes, tapped her chest, and reassured him, “I won’t. Don’t worry.”

Sebastian was baffled by their conversation. Did Mr. Hadley just praise Mrs. Hadley for getting physical with someone? That’s a clear sign of him being overprotective of her.

At that moment. Sebastian’s phone rang, and he answered the call.

After a short pause, he turned around and informed Nathaniel, “Mr. Hadley, I suppose the Liuteguards. called me because they couldn’t reach you.”

“Answer the call, then,” Nathaniel replied with an icy glare.

Sebastian picked up the call, and Lincoln Liuteguard’s sincere voice came through. “Mr. Taggart, I would like to speak to Mr. Hadley. Could you do me a favor?”

Sebastian was well aware of Nathaniel’s attitude toward the Liuteguard family earlier. “Mr. Hadley is busy at the moment. If you have something to say, you can tell me, and I’ll convey it to him.”

“I’m prepared to relinquish an additional twenty percent of our initial agreement to appease Mr. Hadley.” Lincoln proposed.

They did not sign the agreement earlier because they could not reach a consensus on the profit

distribution.

This time, it appeared Lincoln was genuinely seeking reconciliation with Nathaniel.

“All right. I’ll convey your message to Mr. Hadley. I’ll call you if I have any updates.” After speaking, Sebastian ended the call without hesitation.

Christina, who did not have a comprehensive understanding of the negotiation, asked out of curiosity. “Is it because of me that you decided not to partner with the Liuteguard family?”

She wondered if she had ruined Nathaniel’s cooperation.

Suddenly, a hand landed on her head, gently rubbing it, as if caressing a furry pet.

“It depends on you, I won’t work with them if you’re still mad at them,” Nathaniel said calmly.

“I’m not, and don’t let my emotions influence your decision,” Christina replied in a serious tone while shaking her head.

She had already vented her grievances on Rainelda earlier.

Moreover, she refused to let a stranger get the best of her.

Nathaniel remained silent and pulled her closer to his chest.

They stayed in each other’s embrace as they made their way back to Scenic Garden Manor.

When the car came to a stop. Christina had already fallen into a deep sleep in Nathaniel’s arms. Unaware of when she had kicked off her high heels, she curled up like a little cat, exuding an adorable charm.

Instead of waking her up, Nathaniel carried her in his arms and stepped out of the car.

The butler came out to greet them when he heard the sound outside the manor. “Welcome back, Mr. Hadley. Have you taken your dinner? And this is…”
