A Cue For Happine

A Cue For Happiness Chapter 226

Christopher drummed his finger on the table. “Nicholas, please fire Cherry,” he instructed the moment Nicholas entered the room. Nicholas stared at him in disbelief. However, he immediately caught on as he turned to face Natalie and nodded in acknowledgment. “Understood.” Natalie couldn’t be bothered to comment after Nicholas left. She simply stared at Christopher as if he was crazy. He’s crazy, so I shouldn’t be too surprised. She had no desire to know Christopher, nor get herself involved with him. In fact, she would keep her distance and stay as far away from Christopher as she could the moment she got her hands on the snakeblood fruit. Christopher thought Natalie had a really unique character as she glared at him. She would never go along with the crowd nor ingratiate herself with the rich and powerful. On the contrary, she had a strong sense of self and was always level-headed. Christopher reached out in an attempt to remove her hyper-realistic mask. It was as if he had been bewitched by her. He couldn’t forget her real face ever since he saw what she really looks like when she passed out last time. However, Natalie stood up before he could even lay a finger on her face. A red-orange glow outlined her form as the sun’s late evening rays shone on her. “I’ve kept my promise to you. Isn’t it time for you to hand the snakeblood fruit you promised over to me?” Natalie said coolly. Christopher froze in midair. He stared at his hand for a moment, burst into laughter, and put his hand down. He then retrieved a wooden box from his drawer before handing it over to Natalie. Natalie opened the box excitedly. Sure enough, there was a glowing bright red fruit in the box. There was even a faint scent of herbal wafting from it as she drew closer. It was the snakeblood fruit. Moreover, this snakeblood fruit had a stronger medicinal effect than the other three fruits she used on Yana. Yana can have more time now. Natalie smiled from the bottom of her heart upon the thought, and her eyes shone in happiness. “Thank you.” Natalie closed the wooden box and thanked Christopher. “I’ll be getting out of your way, then.” Christopher knew Natalie was going to chuck him aside the moment she got her hands on the snakeblood fruit. However, instead of getting angry, he mentioned something that would pique her interest. “Brat, you’re already so happy with one snakeblood fruit. I can’t imagine just how much happier you will be if I gift you the dragonblood fruit.” Natalie paused when she heard him mention the dragonblood fruit. “Do you know where it is now?” “One of my doctors suggested that I use the

dragonblood fruit to manage my pulmonary disease. Hence, I’ve been looking for it ever since.” Christopher walked over to Natalie. “The dragonblood fruit is of no use to me anymore now that I’ve recovered, thanks to you. However, I’ve recently received news of the whereabouts of the dragonblood fruit…” “Really? So, where is it?” Christopher smiled devilishly as he watched Natalie’s eyes lit up. “Brat, I only promised you the snakeblood fruit. Why should I tell you the whereabouts of the dragonblood fruit for no reason?” Natalie saw this coming. However, she couldn’t help but try again for Yana’s sake. “Then, tell me what you want me to do in order for you to disclose the whereabouts of the dragonblood fruit.” “I don’t know.” “What do you mean you don’t know? It’d mean the world to me if I could get my hands on the dragonblood fruit. The medicinal effect can help cure a good friend of mine.” Natalie narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “I promised her she would live with her husband to a ripe old age. So, I’m not in the mood to joke around with you.” “I’m not joking around with you either. I just haven’t figured out what I want from you.” Christopher’s eyes lit up. “I can tell you the whereabouts of the dragonblood fruit first, but you’ll owe me one wish from now on. I will come to you the moment I figure out what I want. Do you still have the guts to carry on?” Christopher thought Natalie would need some time to think about it. However, she replied without missing a beat, “Bring it on, Christopher.”Chapter 226 I Dare Natalie took a bite of the butter cookie and commented, “She’s quite pretty, just not very friendly.”
