Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Try To Persuade Him

As though she was afraid of being caught with a man in her room, Christina immediately shut the door behind her.

“Hurry up and go take a shower!” she said while shoving him into the bathroom and shutting the door.

Nathaniel snickered when he saw that almost everything in the bathroom was of a feminine color. There was a pink toothbrush, a pink towel, and a floral scent in the air.

It wasn’t long before he was done showering and stepped out of the bathroom. While waiting. Christina took a shower in the bathroom in the guest room. She looked really adorable with her face all red after blow-drying her hair.

She returned to her bedroom with two glasses of milk. “Here, drink this and go to bed,” she said while. handing him one.

It was already half past one at the time. Christina would never stay up so late if it weren’t because of work.

“Are you that eager to cuddle with me?” Nathaniel asked with a soft chuckle as he sipped on the milk.

Christina’s cheeks, which were already red from blow-drying her hair, got even redder after she heard that. He looked really tired while he was in the car earlier, and yet, he seems pretty energetic now. I feel like I’ve walked right into a trap by taking him in….

She gulped down her milk in one go and wiped the stain off the corner of her lips. “You’re sleeping on

the floor.”

Oh, no… I shouldn’t have teased her like that! She might actually make me sleep on the floor!

Nathaniel placed the glass down and wrapped his arms around Christina’s slender waist as the two of them lay down in bed.

Nathaniel caught a whiff of the faint, gentle fragrance from her hair as she snuggled in his arms,

“Could you leave earlier tomorrow?” Christina asked while looking at him with her crystal-clear eyes.

Granny doesn’t know that I’m married, so it’d be really hard for me to explain myself if she sees him. I shouldn’t have brought him into the house!

“You want me to leave through that back door again?” Nathaniel asked with a snort.

I’m the CEO of Hadley Corporation, and yet, I have to sneak in and out of my wife’s house? We’re a legally married couple!

“But my granny hasn’t seen you before. She doesn’t know about you at all, so you’ll scare her if she sees. you all of a sudden. How about I find an opportunity to formally introduce you two? That way, she’ll be more likely to accept you.”

“When will you introduce us?” he asked, seemingly excited.

Christina was only saying that to brush Nathaniel off as she wasn’t planning on bringing him home every day, but he took it very seriously.

When Nathaniel didn’t get a response from her, he shot her a gaze that said, “You’re not saying that just to brush me off, are you?”

Christina suggested. “How about the tenth of next month? It’s my granny’s birthday. I’ll get you two formally introduced then, okay?”

Sure enough, Nathaniel agreed to it in a heartbeat.

I can’t force Christina to stay in Scenic Garden Manor if she doesn’t want to, but I can’t be sneaking into her house every single time I come over either. If I can get on her granny’s good side, then it’ll make spending time with Christina a lot easier. I wouldn’t have to use the back door whenever I plan on staying over anymore. This is like killing two birds with one stone!

Feeling a lot better, Nathaniel leaned in close and gave her a gentle kiss on the earlobe. “You smell really nice. Darling”

Christina felt as though all the cells in her body were stimulated when she heard him call her “Darling” in that seductive voice of his.

He hardly addressed her so affectionately, which made it sound all the more intimate. Oh, my goodness! It feels like we’re a newlywed couple!

“Hurry up and go to sleep… Christina mumbled.

Nathaniel let out a soft chuckle in response.

Heh… Does she really think I’d be able to fall asleep like this? She looks like a newborn baby with her skin slightly pink from the hot shower. It makes me want to just hold her tight and love her right!

He then instinctively moved his lips down to Christina’s neck and gave her a gentle nibble.
