Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 414

“You’ll never give me what I ask for.” Yerek said pitifully. Christina snapped, “Then don’t ask.”

After all, nothing good can ever come out from his mouth.

“You’re so heartless!”

Just when Christina was about to hang up the phone, the languid voice from the other side of the line piqued her curiosity. “You’re not interested in my stuff, but I suppose you want to know more about Nathaniel?”

Her silence confirmed that Yerek was right about her. “Nathaniel has long known about the secrets of your identity and background, but he didn’t tell you.”

“What is it about?” Christina’s expression darkened as she gripped her phone.

“I’ll tell you if you come over to see me.” With that, Yerek ended the call and plunged into deep thoughts while staring at his phone in the ward.

His assistant was completely baffled. “Mr. Gibson, do you really want to tell her something so important?”

This is the best way to sow discord between Christina and Nathaniel,” Yerek muttered as he narrowed his

eyes.

He waited in the ward for a very long time. When the doctor informed him that he could be discharged, Christina still did not show up.

Christina hated the feeling of being threatened. She went back to Scenic Garden Manor instead.

If Nathaniel knows something. I can ask him directly.

As she was entering the manor, she noticed Nathaniel’s car in the garage, so she strode toward the second floor.

The study was so quiet that only the sound of light tapping on the keyboard could be heard.

Nathaniel lifted his head upon hearing footsteps approaching. “You’re back?”

“Yeah…”

She stared at the serious-looking Nathaniel and remembered Yerek’s words. She was about to say something, but she held herself back.

Yerek isn’t a trustworthy person. What if he lied to me? Then I would’ve fallen into his trap!

“What are you thinking about?” The man’s enthralling deep voice rang out.

Christina snapped back to her senses. Her eyes gleamed as she spoke. “Nothing. I was just thinking about the launch of the new brand.”

Nathaniel approached her, grabbed her hands, and led her to the couch to take a seat. “Don’t think too much. Just leave it to the assistant.”

Christina chuckled Although half of the investment came from Yerek, we’ve also contributed an enormous sum of money It’s better to keep an eye on it.”

Usually, the designer had to check the apparel several times before they were shipped from the factory to the display shelves. That was to ensure that the quality of the clothes and its logo were all meeting stipulated requirements.

In fact, Christina did not have to care so much if it was not for Nathaniel, who insisted on getting involved for no apparent reason. She could have stood aside and watched the progress.

“How about I get the kitchen to prepare some supper for you?” Nathaniel placed his fingertips on her temples and massaged them gently

Christina shut her eyes and merely hummed in response.

She could feel the warm yet tender touch of his fingers. It was like a gentle breeze in the summer, making her feel very relaxed.

She grew from resisting Nathaniel’s touch to gradually becoming fond of it. His soft whispers, coupled with the way he gently massaged her temples, made her lose herself in the moment.

The following day. Bailey wanted to meet up with the two adorable munchkins, so she made an appointment with Christina to meet at the shopping mall.

Bailey gave the children a big hug the moment she saw them. “Lucas, Camila, did you miss me?”

“Of course! I want you to buy me ice cream. Aunt Bailey.” Lucas was all smiles as he spoke, his eyes gleaming with delight.

Not to be outdone, Camila lifted her fair and sweet face and said, “Me too! I want you to buy me candies, Aunt Bailey!”

Bailey pinched their checks. “I think the two of you miss my candies and ice cream more.”
