Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 490

When Christina's lips bumped into Nathaniel's cheek, his faint woody scent filled her nostrils and left her in a daze.

A few seconds later, she jolted back. We should stop fooling around.

It would be embarrassing if the children saw us.

Ever since the children barged into the room the last time, Christina would always keep a safe distance from him whenever they were out.

Meanwhile, Lucas and Camila were already awake by the time the car arrived at Scenic Garden Manor.

A short nap was all the kids needed to reinvigorate themselves.

After alighting from the car, both of them played ball in the courtyard.

Christina was watching them when she received Rayne's call.

She subsequently headed to the study and borrowed Nathaniel's computer for work.

It turned out that there was a problem with one of the design drawings.

The design looked good on paper, yet the intended result wasn't achieved when it was given physical form, creating a need for a change in color.

Based on the sample Rayne had sent, Christina adjusted the color a few times until she was satisfied.

By the time she was finished, night had already fallen.

When she suddenly received a call from Azure, she remembered that she hadn't spoken to her grandmother over the last two days due to work.

Thus, she answered without hesitation.

“Grandma.”

“Christina, I was worried when I didn’t hear from you for the past two days. I thought that something untoward had happened,” Azure remarked anxiously.

Christina's heart was warmed by the concern shown by her grandmother.

She felt the urge to pour her heart out and tell Azure about everything Anya did to her.

However, before she could start, she heard Anya’s voice in the background.

“Grandma, did Christina say when she'll be back?”

Anya is with Grandma? Christina didn't want to alert Anya of her plan yet.

Besides, her words wouldn't carry much impact since she wasn't by Azure's side.

Holding that thought, she suppressed her anger and decided to hold Anya accountable only upon her return.

“Grandma, I've already signed the contract with Hadley Corporation and will come home in the next few days,” Christina replied.

Azure nodded upon hearing Christina's calm voice.

“All right then. Be careful. Remember to bring the children over with you when you come. I'll be here, waiting for you.”

“All right, Grandma. You take care too.”

Upon ending the call, Christina let out a sigh.

Given that she had dirt on Anya, there wasn't much for her to be afraid of.

Eyes narrowed, she began to plot how she could kick Anya out of Gibson Corporation.

Although she was only in her twenties, Anya was extremely shrewd.

Thus, taking her down was going to be an uphill task.

Even if I can't remove her from Gibson Corporation, this matter alone is enough to threaten her position.

All of a sudden, a towering figure blocked off the light.

Nathaniel then gave her head a gentle stroke.

“What's on your mind?”

“I was thinking of going back in the next few days. Grandma has called to pester me about it,” Christina replied.

At that moment, her main concern was whether to take the children with her, for she was worried that any conflict with Anya might affect them.

“You should. I'll come with you.”

While speaking, Nathaniel walked right up to her.

He then cornered her by placing his palms down on the table on both sides of her.

“It's not as simple as it seems. I'm going back to confront Anya this time, so bringing the kids along isn't a good idea. Why don't you stay here with them instead?”

That was the best idea Christina could come up with.

However, Azure's longing for her great-grandchildren caused her to hold her chin in contemplation.
