Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 94

The wind was whistling through the window late at night, making it hard for Christina to have a good sleep. Suddenly, she heard a series of squeaky noises in the pitch-dark room and tensed up.

Is Mrs. Hadley trying to remove my mask when I’m sleeping? I bet no one else will do that. But based on my understanding of Mrs. Hadley, it’s possible. After all, there’s nothing she doesn’t dare to do.

Subsequently, Christina heard footsteps approaching as an intimidating aura enveloped the room.

She shuddered and became wide awake when a warm palm landed on her slender waist.

She widened her eyes in an instant and saw Nathaniel’s cold yet handsome face under the faint silver lighting. He was like a monster lurking in the dark, appearing out of nowhere. “Are you asleep?”

Christina broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing that. You jolted me awake!

She quickly recollected herself, got down from her bed like a nocturnal hamster, and checked if the door was locked.

As soon as she confirmed the lock was secured, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Why did you come here?”

Nathaniel pinned his eyes on her startled face and thought she looked quite cute. “I’m just dropping by since I’m heading somewhere nearby to do a recce tomorrow.”

Christina narrowed her eyes in suspicion. Even if this place is near the site he plans to inspect, it’s unlikely he will come all the way here for that one reason alone.

Nathaniel proceeded to unbutton his jacket, revealing his toned chest muscles underneath the shirt. Then, he placed his hand on his belt.

“Why are you removing your clothes?” Christina covered her eyes as her face turned crimson red.

“I’m going to sleep.”

At that, he swept her off her feet in one swift motion and lay her down on the bed, tucking her in his arms as though she was his most desirable pillow for a good night’s sleep.

He tilted his head sideways and leaned against her forehead, indulging in her body scent.

He could always get an indescribable sense of peace and tranquility from Christina, and that comfort received could never be appeased by words.

“You can’t sleep here. What if Mrs. Hadley finds out? Quick, get up!”

Christina tried her best to break free from his tight embrace but to no avail. She could not even move a muscle.

“Get up earlier tomorrow morning and we’ll leave together. They won’t notice us.” A layer of sleepiness laced Nathaniel’s voice as he tried to answer her question before dozing off.

Christina felt that it was too risky for him to stay. However, her hands were tied, and there was nothing she could do about the situation.

Soon, the couple’s consistent breathing filled the quiet room.

It was a lazy morning when the sunbeam illuminated he room.

Two figures were seen leaving the Hadley residence in the Maybach which pulled up at the entrance last night.

The journey from the Hadley residence to Radiant Corporation would easily take about an hour. Christina leaned on Nathaniel’s shoulder and continued to catch up on her sleep on the way to her office.

When they arrived at the parking lot, a long silence ensued in the car.

Sebastian turned his head to remind Nathaniel, only to see the latter giving him a frosty look. Nathaniel placed his index finger in front of his thin lips, beckoning Sebastian to keep quiet.

Immediately, Sebastian became vigilant and swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue as if someone had activated the pause button on him.

He withdrew his gaze and left the car quietly, giving the couple some personal space.

Since work would not start until half an hour later, Nathaniel did not have the heart to wake Christina up so early.

As a faint fragrance lingered in the air, he let her sleep on his shoulder while he whipped out his tablet

to work.
