Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth

Chapter 507 Who Is The Liar.

Helen had been waiting for them at the door.

As their car pulled up outside the Hadley residence, she quickly turned over her shoulder and reported

happily, “Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, they're here!”

Charlie and Julia made their way to the door, witnessing Nathaniel and Christina approaching the

house, each holding one of their children.

“Grandpa, Grandma!”

Lucas and Camila released their parents’ hands and ran to their grandparents.

“Oh, Lucas, Camila.”

Julia bent down to give her grandchildren a warm hug.

It was clear that they adored their grandchildren.

Both Charlie and Julia entered the house, each holding one kid.

At the expansive dining table, Julia and Charlie positioned Lucas and Camila in the center, ensuring

they were comfortably seated.

Nathaniel and Christina took their places at the end of the table.

An array of dishes were served, carefully selected to cater to the children's preferences.

The elderly couple were fond of their grandchildren.

After serving the children, Julia turned to Christina.

“Christina, eat up. You've lost weight, I see.”

“Okay, Mom.”

Christina didn't feel overlooked or ignored in the slightest.

On the contrary, she cherished the harmonious atmosphere that enveloped the Hadley residence.

It was a stark contrast to the tense and uncomfortable environment she had experienced with the

Gibson family.

Nathaniel, who was sitting beside Christina, kept piling her plate with food.

As the dinner came to an end, she realized that she had consumed more food than she typically did.

Christina glared at Nathaniel but still gobbled up the food he served her.

Charlie and Julia took in their affectionate actions.

They were secretly pleased that the old grudge between the Hadley family and the Gibson family didn't

drive a wedge between the couple.

Never in their wildest dreams did they know Christina was a Gibson by birth.

It was only recently that they had discovered this truth, thanks to Nathaniel's investigation into a past

accident involving the Hadley family.

Had it not been for that revelation, they would have remained blissfully unaware of Christina's true

heritage.

After dinner, they went to the living room to relax.

The TV was playing a cartoon that the kids loved.

The ambiance was harmonious.

After a while, Charlie spoke up.

“Christina, your mom and I are aware of your true identity.”

Christina was busy playing blocks with Camila when she heard that.

Pausing in her actions, she glanced at Nathaniel, who gave her a look silently affirming that he did not

disclose the information to his parents.

“Lucas, Camila, come on. Let's play hide and seek elsewhere.”

As they needed to talk in private, Julia summoned the children and led them away.

“Sure!”

Lucas and Camila joyfully trotted after Julia.

The moment the kids were out of sight, the atmosphere grew tense.

“I was the one who investigated your background. It has nothing to do with Nathaniel,” Charlie

explained.

Christina had no idea what to say, so she stared at him silently.

Charlie continued, “I'm sorry about what happened to your parents, but it was nothing but an accident”

After a brief consideration, Christina decided to be honest with him.

“But my grandma and my dad claimed it was a ploy.”

She proceeded to tell him what Timothy had informed her that day.

In the face of her question, Charlie fell silent for a moment before getting to his feet.

“Come, let's go to my study.”

The three of them entered his study together.

Charlie reached into the depths of his cabinet and retrieved a file before passing it over to Christina.

“This contains the details of our rivalry with the Gibson family during that time. I must confess that I did

arrange to meet your parents on the day of their accident. However, we had a heated argument due to

our differing opinions, and I left before they did,”

he elucidated, recounting the events.

Christina was stunned, for it was contradictory to what Timothy had told her previously.

Who is the liar here? She flipped the file open with Nathaniel and read that the Hadley family had lost

the bid that year.

“What is going on?”

Nathaniel's brows furrowed together as he shot Charlie a baffled look.

“We own the developing rights to Horington, don't we?” Charlie shut his eyes.

“That was because I spent more money to get it back three years later.”

“Who won the bid back then?”

Charlie shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about it.

Christina could barely process the large influx of information that she had received that night.

Back at Scenic Garden Manor, Nathaniel put the kids to bed and returned to the bedroom to see

Christina spacing out on the balcony.

He approached her, scooping her up gently in his arms and carrying her toward the bed.

“It's getting cold. You wouldn't want to catch a cold, would you?”

It was early autumn, so the weather was chilly both in the morning and at night.

“I was wondering who was lying, your father or mine.”

As Nathaniel changed into his pajamas, he said, “You won't be able to figure it out for the time being.

Why don't you go to bed first?”

Christina gave him a wary look, not wanting to fall for his scheme yet again.

“I'm tired today.”

As if knowing what she meant, Nathaniel got into bed and hugged her without doing anything else.

Christina had assumed it was his trick, but soon, his breathing turned even.

She chuckled silently, not expecting him to fall asleep for real.

She reached out to touch Nathaniel's brows before closing her eyes to sleep.

The following day, Christina was woken up by a commotion.

“Daddy, Mommy!”

She blinked her eyes open, only to find Camila and Lucas climbing onto their bed and settling in

between her and Nathaniel.

“Why aren't you at the kindergarten?”

she asked, her voice laced with confusion.

“Mommy, it’s the weekend today!” Camila said happily.

Lucas chimed in, “Daddy, Mommy, let's go to the amusement park today!” Christina massaged her

temples.

It's indeed the weekend.

“Sure. Let's go to the amusement park!”

Christina woke up and hopped off her bed, eager to please the children.

After she changed her clothes and came out, she saw Nathaniel and the kids fooling around on the

bed.

The room was full of their laughter.

That sight warmed her heart.

Right then, Christina's phone rang.

“Hello, Ms. Steele. This is the children's psychology clinic reminding you that you have an appointment

with Dr. Ellie today.”

It was from the clinic that she had booked an appointment for Camila.

Seeing how excited Camila looked, Christina hesitated, wondering if Camila had recovered completely.

She decided to bring Camila to the clinic just in case.
