Natalie whined, her teeth chattering.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.
She shouted, “The eggs! I forgot all about them!”
She broke free from Sebastian’s embrace and ran to the kitchen in a hurry.
Sebastian followed behind her.
He stared at Natalie, who was extremely flustered, and he couldn’t help but smile.
“You silly girl! I told you to keep an eye on the eggs!”
Shaking his head, he gently pulled her to the side while he cleaned up the mess himself in the kitchen.
Twiddling her thumbs, Natalie stood in the corner, restlessly watching Sebastian clean up after her.
“I’m sorry.I thought you were talking to Charis, so I rushed to you and forgot I was cooking.”
Sebastian had guessed this.
After drying his freshly washed hands, he raised his eyes to look at Natalie seriously.
“It’s my fault.I didn’t give you enough sense of security.”
After saying that, he spread out his arms and said gently, “Come here.”
Natalie obeyed and leaned her face against his chest, blushing slightly.
Then, thinking about the invitation from Patrick, she murmured, “The Kleins treat you badly, especially Ritchie.He hates you and
I just got him into trouble.He probably has a huge grudge against us. Won’t something bad happen if we just go there?”
Sebastian smiled at her dotingly and raised his hand to rub the tip of Natalie’s nose.
“You’re a smart girl.”
After he mulled it over for a while, his expression became unreadable.
“I’m sure my grandmother’s birthday isn’t the sole reason why Patrick’s summoning me.He must have something else up his sleeve.”
After all, the Klein family must’ve heard about the so-called plagiarism issue.
They probably would’ve been really happy if Natalie’s reputation was ruined in the process, but in the end, it was Ritchie who married his own name by his own doing.
Natalie could feel that Sebastian was a little unhappy.
So she softened her voice and said with a small smile, “Then we’d better not go, right?”
She was thinking that if avoiding all this potential conflict was an option, she’d take it.A simple and happy life with Sebastian was all she wanted.
Hearing this, Sebastian chuckled.He gently tucked Natalie’s hair behind her ear, revealing her beautiful, fair face.
After looking into her clear eyes for a long time, he finally said, “I don’t want to go either.But because Ritchie has stirred up trouble for us, I can’t ignore the Klein family any longer and neither can they.”
He could hide for a while, and he couldn’t hide forever.
Even if he refused to go this time, the Klein family would look for other opportunities to make life difficult for him.
Besides, Sebastian wasn’t the kind of man who would let someone push him around.
Disappointed and depressed, Natalie lowered her long eyelashes and mulled over things for a while.
“Well, I guess you’re right. We can’t keep avoiding the Klein family forever.Now that they’ve come to us, we have to face them.”
Natalie looked down as she spoke, which worried Sebastian.
“Is there something else on your mind? Are you upset?”
Natalie shook her head, absent-minded.
“No, no.”
Sebastian’s expression immediately darkened.
Without warning, he scooped Natalie up and made her sit on the kitchen counter.
Before the woman could respond, he grabbed her chin and stuck his tongue into her mouth, his fingers moving restlessly towards her crotch.
“Hmm… Sebastian!”
Natalie tried to push Sebastian away, but it was useless.
She could only let him do whatever he wanted with her.
It wasn’t until he felt that her body was trembling did he finally pull away.
In a hoarse voice, he said, “Tell me the truth.”
Natalie’s fingers reached for his shirt.Her face was scarlet as a tomato.
Pouting, she finally relented.
“Fine.I feel a little upset.”
With his hands on her waist, Sebastian lowered his head and rested his forehead on her shoulder.
With remorse, he murmured, “It’s my fault. This conflict was supposed to stay between me and the Klein family, but you got caught in the crossfire simply because you married me.”
He paused for a few seconds and then continued seriously, “But Natalie, now that you’re with me, I won’t let you suffer.I’ll avenge you.”
Blushing, Natalie shook her head and didn’t seem to notice that there was a hint of viciousness in the man’s voice.
She reached out her arms and wrapped them around his neck.
“We’re a couple.Of course we’re going to have to face problems together.”
Sebastian didn’t say anything.
After a long time of silence, he quietly nodded and lowered his head to plant a kiss on Natalie’s neck.
His kiss was very light yet possessive.
His lips gradually made it’s way to the woman’s lips and the two kissed each other passionately again.
It was not until Natalie noticed that Sebastian was on the verge of losing control that she pulled away shyly.
“Calm down. I’m on my period.”
