Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 Feelings Grow Stronger.

Christina shared the coat with Nathaniel but dared not get too close to him for fear of making him wet.

However, the man simply wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace.

“Get closer. You'll feel warmer faster.”

Christina hummed gently and lay her head on his shoulder.

Immediately, the faint sandalwood scent on his body entered her nose, filling her with a sense of security.

The howling of the wind never stopped, and its blusters shook the house so hard it seemed as if it would collapse anytime.

“Achoo!”

Christina shivered.

The cold was becoming more obvious thanks to the contrasting temperatures she was feeling, both on the inside and outside.

Hence, Nathaniel pulled her closer and rubbed his palm on her shoulder to create friction.

“Are you cold?”

Her pale complexion made him frown with worry, and when his gaze fell on her drenched clothes, he feared she might catch a cold.

That was when an idea came to his mind.

He gave her a gentle push to make some space and unbuttoned his shirt.

Subsequently, he removed his white shirt and handed it to her, saying sternly, “Put it on.”

As she lifted her gaze, she was blessed by the sight of Nathaniel's muscular and slender body.

At the same time, a strong scent of male pheromones wafted into her nose.

“Why are you giving me your shirt?”

“Yours is wet. You'll catch a cold if you keep wearing it.”

Nathaniel removed the coat from her shoulders, exposing her beautiful curves under the drenched shirt that clung tightly to her skin.

The dancing flames reflected in her eyes while her neat brows emphasized her gentle temperament. Christina sneezed again.

It was as if her body was answering on her behalf.

She knew there was no reason to go against her body's needs.

After all, she could return Nathaniel’s shirt once hers was dry.

Taking the white shirt from him, she said softly, “Turn around. Don't look at me.”

Nathaniel chuckled softly when he saw how shy she was, but he obliged.

Only when he had turned away did Christina unbutton her wet shirt.

Her movements were so swift that it took her only a few seconds to get out of her clothes and into Nathaniel’s shirt.

However, the shirt looked like a dress on her petite body.

Christina was on the skinnier side, and the shirt could almost reach her knees.

After giving it some thought, she decided to take off her pants as well.

They were a pair of thin workout pants, which should dry fairly quickly.

When she was done, she sat down and said shyly, “I'm done.”

That was when Nathaniel turned back to see her curled up like a frightened pet, her figure and long legs accentuated by the shirt.

He passed her the bottle of water he just got out of the bag.

“Have some.”

Christina's eyes flickered as she took it from him.

“Do you still have any more in your bag?”

“Yes,”

Only when she had heard his answer did she gulp the water with relief?

She was so thirsty that she finished it in one go.

After that, Nathaniel took out a packet of biscuits from the bag.

He seemed to be well-prepared for the situation.

Tearing the package open, he took out a piece of biscuit and brought it to Christina's lips.

“Eat up.”

The look of worry in his eyes was the most sincere gaze Christina had ever seen.

Hence, she ate and drank until the adrenaline in her body gradually reduced.

Soon, the sky outside turned dark.

As raindrops pattered and the wind howled outside, a cold breeze would occasionally enter the house through the gap at the metal door to stir the flames.
