<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Jessica found out, she couldn’t help but click her tongue, “How shameless. She’s still sleeping together with Nathaniel even after their divorce.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia overheard the murmurs outside and got up to check.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She saw Jessica and a few maids gossiping about her.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was speechless. What could Nathaniel even do to her now?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“If you can’t stand me sleeping next to Nathaniel, why don’t you give it a try?” Cecilia called out loudly from upstairs.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica’s face instantly changed at those words.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">If she were to lie next to Nathaniel, she probably wouldn’t live to see the morning sun.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“I’m not like you. I haven’t married Nathaniel yet, so nothing would happen between us.” Jessica feigned innocence.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia chuckled. “And after you marry him, would you dare to lie next to him and see what happens?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica was silenced once again.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She didn’t say another word and went back to her own room, mming the door shut.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She couldn’t wait to hear Cecilia’s screams.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">During the day, Cecilia must’ve gotten lucky–Nathaniel didn’t have one of his fits. But at night? That would be a different story.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Once Jessica left, Cecilia returned to her room andy down to rest.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She had been exhausted, constantly running between ces.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The bed was big. After lying down, Cecilia didn’t get too close to Nathaniel. She was careful not to touch his wounds.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the dark, she didn’t know how long she had slept when suddenly, the man’s arm reached over, pulling her into his embrace.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia was sound asleep and didn’t notice. She leaned against his chest, finding herself sleeping even more soundly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The next morning, Cecilia woke up at eight.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">For the first time in a while, the bodyguards and maids at the manor finally had a good night’s sleep. Nathaniel hadn’t gone into one of his rages.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Cecilia opened her eyes, she saw Nathaniel sleeping quietly and properly. At some point, she had ended up in his arms.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Just as she was about to get up, the man beside her opened his eyes. “Don’t go.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Nathaniel’s voice was a bit hoarse. For a moment, Cecilia thought he could see her and was fully conscious</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">s, her hope was quickly dashed when Nathaniel pulled her back into his embrace like a child.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Take me home. When are you taking me home?” Nathaniel asked.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia couldn’t help feeling a bit sad. She patted his back gently, “Don’t worry, I’ll take you home in a few days.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Hispliance surprised the butler and maids guarding the door.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, this worked out for the best. It also made things easier for them.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jessica, who hadn’t heard Cecilia screamingst night, was also up early. She noticed how calm Nathaniel was, nothing like his usual wild self.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Maybe I should be gentler?” Jessica muttered to herself.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She nned to try getting close to Nathaniel once Cecilia left for work.</font></font>
After breakfast and a stroll with Nathaniel, Cecilia finally left.
Once she was gone, Jessica looked at Nathaniel, who was sitting obediently in the room. She looked eager.
“Nathaniel, I can take you home too,” Jessica said cautiously as she approached, mimicking Cecilia’s tone.
Nathaniel fixed his gaze in her direction. “I want to go home.”
Jessica couldn’t help but feel smug.
Nathaniel fell for this. Great. As long as I can control Nathaniel and make him listen to me, marrying him will be fine. I can also have a stable marriage life while having other lovers.
Reality was far harsher than her fantasies.
“Then take me away now,” Nathaniel said again.
“Sure, I’ll take you home in a couple of days,” Jessica replied as she stepped forward to touch him.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
The next moment, a chill shed through the man’s eyes.
“Liar!”
The maids outside the room suddenly heard Jessica’s screams. “Nathaniel, I was wrong. Don’t hit me! Let me go! Help!”
