Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 61

Xandra’s situation made it impossible for her to continue working, leaving the director with no choice but to temporarily stop filming.

Christina finished work early for a change, and Nathaniel took her out for dinner.

There was a farm in the suburbs where all the ingredients were fresh.

After booking a private room, the two sat down facing each other.

“Will you be staying here tonight?” Christina asked.

Isn’t Hadley Corporation quite busy? How does Nathaniel find the time to come here?

“There’s a project going on here, so I came to see you.” To see if you’ve been bullied by anyone.

Christina hummed in acknowledgment. With so many engineering collaborations at Hadley Corporation, they might be discussing some kind of development.”

She didn’t ask much, as Nathaniel seemed very busy, answering calls or sending messages the entire time.

The light cast a halo on his jet-black hair, highlighting his flawless skin and striking features. As he focused on his work with heavy-lidded eyes, he exuded the charm of a mature man.

Sebastian, standing to the side, hesitated and wanted to say something. There isn’t any project at all; Mr. Hadley came here specifically to see you!

After a while, Christina asked Nathaniel when ordering food, “Can you eat spicy food?”

She had recently been eating packed lunches at the set, but the dishes were too bland.

Nathaniel glanced at her expectant expression. “Yes, I can.”

When the waiter walked in, Christina ordered a lot of spicy dishes.

Sebastian broke out in a cold sweat. Mr. Hadley clearly can’t handle spicy food, so why didn’t he say anything? Why did he have to accommodate Christina?

He wanted to stop it, but Nathaniel shot him a stern glance.

Sebastian had never seen Nathaniel be so accommodating to others before…

Christina was an exception.

After the dishes were served, Christina kept putting food on Nathaniel’s plate. She thought that one would feel energized after sweating profusely from consuming spicy food,

Sebastian was absent-minded. After seeing Nathaniel eat such spicy food, he worried that the latter’s body

wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“Tonight’s meal was so delicious. Did you eat enough?” Christina asked with a smile.

Nathaniel nodded. “I’m full.”

Sebastian was rendered speechless at that.

After the bill was paid, the three of them left.

The next morning, as soon as the alarm clock rang, Christina quickly changed her clothes and was ready to leave the house

As soon as she reached the doorway, Nathaniel pushed her against the door, his dark eyes gazing at her like

dazzling gems.

He gently lifted his hand and used his fingertips to tuck her stray hairs behind her ears. Then, he softly uttered, “I have to go back today.”

Christina recoiled slightly, her cheeks starting to flush with warmth. “I know,” she responded, “you should go back and focus on your work. Don’t worry about me.”

“Will you miss me?” Nathaniel leaned in slightly.

Christina instinctively held her breath. “Yes.”

“Good.”

Nathaniel gently kissed her forehead, leaving a faint trace of warmness with his soft, tender lips.

Christina’s heart was pounding like a frightened deer, her legs barely able to support her. If she continued. facing him, her heart rate would end up chaotic.

“Then I’ll be going first.”

Like a deer desperate to escape, the young lady disappeared in a flash.

As he thought of her blushing and shy face, the corners of his mouth lifted into a meaningful curve.

Christina only found out that Xandra was on vacation when she arrived on set. She heard that Xandra had a severe allergy and needed to rest, so everyone had to adjust their schedules to accommodate her.

The director had no choice but to film the scenes of the second female lead first. Meanwhile, Christina wasn’t idle either, she helped Gina and Anna as their assistant.

There was an adorable cat on the set, probably a stray from the nearby area.
