Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 445

Christma fell silent and looked at Yerek indifferently.

Yerek’s gaze turned cold. “Can’t you at least put yourself in Dad’s shoes?”

Although he was adopted, he still cared about his adoptive parents since he grew up under their care.

Dad said he won’t kick me out of the Gibson family even though I’m not his biological child.

Christina lowered her gaze to hide the emotions in her eyes. “I don’t want to talk about this now. Enjoy your meal.”

With that, she got up and walked out of the restaurant, Flagging down a taxi, she returned to Hadley Corporation.

She ran into Nathaniel, who came up from the parking lot, just as she stepped into the elevator.

The two made eye contact, and Christina was instantly annoyed. I swear the elevators in Hadley Corporation are cursed. I always run into people I don’t want to see in the company’s elevators!

Nathaniel sized her attire up and noticed it wasn’t the set of clothes he had given her. Instead, it was a short dress that revealed her fair legs.

His gaze darkened.

When Christina stepped into the elevator, she forgot to press the button as she was deep in thought.

The elevator stopped at the floor where Nathaniel’s office was situated.

He said indifferently. “I have something to discuss with you

Christina glanced at him and walked out of the elevator behind him.

As soon as they entered the office, Nathaniel pulled Christina into the lounge.

A few rays of sunlight crept through the pleated curtains into the dim room. The stuffy and silent room amplified their breathing.

Christina immediately became wary and narrowed her eyes. “What do you want?”

Nathaniel wrapped an arm around her slim waist and pulled a diamond necklace from her pocket as if performing a magic trick. Then, he gently put it around her neck.

Christina felt the cold weight on her neck and lowered her head to see the sparkling necklace.

“There’s a banquet tonight. You should come with me he informed her, not giving her a chance to refuse.

Christina turned away and replied apathetically, “I have plans tonight. I can’t go with you.”

With that, she reached out to take off the necklace. However, Nathaniel grabbed her wrist, his deep voice echoing beside her ear. “You’re not allowed to take it off.”

With that, he pinched Christina’s chin, the warmth from his fingertips so palpable that Christina felt

uneasy.

Chapter 445 Suggestion From Yerek

As the distance between them narrowed, Christina could feel his breath at the tip of her nose. Just as his lips were about to touch hers, she dodged and pushed him away.

“Fine. I’ll keep the necklace. If there’s nothing else, I have to go back and work.”

With that, she rushed out the door, leaving Nathaniel behind. The man stood rooted to the spot, watching her leave while wearing a cold expression.

Christina switched on her computer and began working immediately after returning to the office. Only when she was working could she temporarily forget about all those troublesome matters.

Bailey called her as she was about to get off work. “My family is hosting a banquet. My mom is definitely going to set me up on a blind date. I need you here to keep me company!”

“Isn’t that great? You should seize the opportunity!” Christina teased her.

Bailey immediately complained woefully, “Are you sure you’re my best friend? Why are you making fun of me too? I’ll be bored to death tonight! If you’re around, I might be able to find a chance to hide. Please, Christina! Please come and keep me company.”

Christina was amused. Since she didn’t have any important matters for the night, she agreed Bailey’s request.
