Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 454

Christina stopped in her tracks right after she turned around. She hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

Before she could say anything, Nathaniel walked in.

Christina followed behind him and realized there was nothing in his hands.

I’ve been conned again!

Christina stopped him and questioned, “Didn’t you say you brought the divorce agreement? Why are your hands empty?”

Nathaniel’s brows twitched, and he took out a contract from his pocket. “Take your time reading it.”

Christina didn’t expect him to be so straightforward. Just as she was about to open and read it, she heard Lucas and Camila.

“Daddy!”

The two kids hadn’t seen their father for almost a week, so they immediately climbed up Nathaniel’s legs.

Nathaniel bent over slightly, carried them up, and planted a kiss on each of their faces. “Did you guys behave when I’m not here?”

“Of course!” Camila blinked confidently. Nathaniel’s heart melted at the sight of that.

Lucas pouted. “Daddy, you haven’t come to play with us for a long time. Did you forget that this is your home?”

Nathaniel kissed his forehead. “I have been busy these past few days, so I couldn’t play with you guys. What kind of gifts do you like?”

“Dolls!”

“Model airplanes!”

Nathaniel put them down. “All right. I’ll ask my assistant to bring them to you guys tomorrow.”

Christina walked over and brought the two kids to their rooms. “You guys can draw in your rooms first. I need to discuss something with Daddy.”

The two children assumed their parents needed some time together, so they went back to their rooms obediently.

Christina walked to the dining table and opened the divorce agreement. The requirements seemed normal, but her expression darkened as she read further.

She arched a brow. “Why do we still have to live together after getting divorced?”

Then, what’s the point of having a divorce?

Nathaniel’s hands were on his waist as he replied lazily, “Because a divorce will affect Hadley Corporation’s shares. Do you know how much a one percent fluctuation is worth?”

Hadley Corporation was a large company worth billions, so a small percentage decrease could result in the loss of tens of millions.

Christina couldn’t suppress her anger. How is this a divorce? It’s just a change of identity! I can’t accept this

excuse.

“I can promise not to publicly announce our divorce, but there’s no reason for us to live together.”

Nathaniel shrugged and responded logically, “Well, that’s just the way it is. These are my requirements for a divorce. If you can’t fulfill them, then there’s nothing I can do.”

Christina’s eyes turned cold, and she threw the divorce agreement into the trash can. Even doing so couldn’t pacify her anger.

What kind of cr*ppy excuse is this?

Nathaniel was purposely making things difficult for her. It was clear he was waiting for her to compromise.

Nathaniel thought she would give in, so he approached her and patted her slender shoulders. “I didn’t handle things properly, then. Can you forgive me?”

He had his back to him and didn’t notice her expression.

After a moment, Christina said calmly, “Get out.”

Nathaniel froze as the words he was about to say became choked in his throat. Displeasure was written all over his face.

Nathaniel was tired of being rejected despite his repeated attempts to please her.
