Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 467

Nathaniel washed his hand with clean water, then rolled up his sleeves and began peeling the shrimp.

Christina watched as the food on her plate gradually increased. At first, she wasn’t bothered by it, but soon she couldn’t keep up with the speed at which he was peeling, and her plate quickly became filled with shrimp.

Once done peeling the shrimp, Nathaniel reached for the crabs, placing the large, meaty crab legs onto her plate.

Soon, Christina had a pile of food in front of her. She couldn’t help but complain, “I can’t finish all this. You can stop peeling now.”

“It’s fine. My hands are already dirty anyway, so I’ll just peel some more.” Nathaniel didn’t stop. Instead, he continued removing the crab shells and placed all the meat on her plate.

“We can take the leftovers home if we can’t finish everything,” Christina suggested, as wasting food wasn’t her habit.

He snickered. “If you can’t finish it, you’ll have to foot the bill. I don’t take leftovers.”

He’s right. Since when does the high and might Mr. Hadley take home leftovers? His real intention is to make me eat all the food before me.

Christina felt she wouldn’t be able to consume the other dishes after she finished the big plate of crab meat. After taking a few bites, she started tasting the other dishes.

Upon trying out all the food on the table, she noticed that after Nathaniel was done peeling the shrimp and washing his hands, he had been sitting there, watching her eat quietly without moving or talking.

Christina picked up a piece of meat and placed it in her mouth. Her cheeks, bulging on both sides, made her look like an adorable, innocent little bunny.

Nathaniel held a napkin and gently wiped the corner of her mouth. “You’re a grown–up, yet you eat like a child, getting food stains everywhere.”

His doting voice made him sound like an elder caring for someone younger. An unusual hint of warmth filled his eyes as he spoke.

Christina swallowed the delicious food in her mouth before asking him, “Aren’t you going to eat? It’s wasteful to have so much food left.”

“I’m tired from peeling the shrimp, so I don’t feel like moving,” he replied nonchalantly.

The corner of her mouth twitched. “In other words, you want me to feed you.”

“I wouldn’t mind that.” He flashed a faint smirk as if everything was going according to his plan.

Christina gave him a perfunctory smile and snorted. “Do whatever you like. I’m not the one who’s going to get hungry if you don’t eat anyway.”

Seemingly determined to challenge her, he remained unmoving. He knew Christina disliked waste and wouldn’t be able to stand seeing all those food go uneaten. She’ll definitely change her mind and feed me!

Sure enough, a little while later, Christina couldn’t eat anymore. She burped and grumbled, “I feel like my

tummy is going to explode.”

“If you’re done eating, shall we ask for the bill?” Nathaniel asked.

Christina agreed with a poker face, “Sure. Let’s hurry up. We can rest for a while if we go back sooner. We’ll strive to finish discussing the remaining details in the afternoon.”

Nathaniel called the waiter over to settle the check.

Without looking at the bill, he charged the amount to his bank card. After the payment, the waiter brought over eight or nine takeaway boxes.

Nathaniel furrowed his brows and rejected, “I didn’t ask for this.”

The waiter smiled and explained, “This miss requested these boxes.”

Christina got to her feet and nodded in agreement. “That’s right. I requested them. Please help me pack up all these dishes and this half plate of shrimp meat.”

“Okay, miss. Please wait.” Then, the waiter neatly packed all the uneaten food.

Christina grinned, smiling from ear to ear. Her innocent and naive appearance was extremely adorable.

Nathaniel knitted his brows. As he watched the food getting packed into the takeaway boxes, his expression turned a few shades darker. She has been planning this all along.

With her hands empty, Christina suddenly felt much lighter. A hint of embarrassment surged within her as she looked at Nathaniel placing the takeout boxes into the trunk. He spent so much money to treat me to a meal. I’m full now, but his stomach is still empty.
