“Sebastian! Let me go!” After a moment of dizziness, Natalie tried to get up from where she was in the passenger seat Sebastian was already sitting in the driver’s seat. He proceeded to press a button and locked the car doors.
“Why are you doing this to me?” Natalie used everything she had to try and open the door.
“Just because you happen to be my wife.” Sebastian placed his arm to block her from leaving and didn’t move an inch no matter what Natalie did.
Natalie glared at him with fierce eyes.
“I’m only Sebastian’s wife! I’m not Brandon’s wife!”
Sebastian knew what Natalie meant. He sneered and pressed down on her. He pinched her small face and rubbed her lips with his fingers until they were raw. His face was devoid of emotions, but his tone was filled with threat.
“If you don’t change your mind, I’ll take you back and lock you up. You won’t be able to go anywhere.” Sebastian’s fierce eyes frightened Natalie a great deal. She curled up in the passenger seat, trying to put some distance between them. When she thought of what had happened before, tears appeared in her eyes. She choked and said, “Sebastian, you’re way too selfish. Since you don’t want me to be Brandon’s wife, why do you want to keep me here? Why don’t we just go our own separate ways? We can both be free and happy in that case.”
The sight of tears in Natalie’s eyes made Sebastian panic. The whole world knew him for his decisiveness, but when he saw Natalie’s tears, he didn’t know what to do.
Sebastian pulled a tissue from a box on the top of the dashboard and wiped the tears from her face. Then, in a soft voice, he said,
“When did I ever say that I didn’t want you to be Brandon’s wife? I told you that I didn’t say anything in the beginning because I was afraid it would put you in danger. Later on, as time went by, I couldn’t tell you because I thought you would be angry at me.”
Natalie took the tissue from Sebastian’s hand and sniffled slightly, raising her tearful eyes before she replied, “I’m not worthy to be Brandon’s wife.”
A gust of cold wind blew through the window, driving chills down Natalie’s body Sebastian closed the window, took off his coat, and wrapped it around her body before sitting back on the driver’s seat. He held the steering wheel with one hand and sat there silently for a moment as if he was thinking before he said, “Who told you that?”
Finally, at long last, he knew what was troubling Natalie. She looked down to avert his eyes and said nothing Sebastian rested his face in the palm of his hand and sighed exasperatedly. He glared down at her, shaking his head in frustration
Unfortunately, he had no choice but to patch things up with his wife.
After all, he didn’t want to have a fight with Natalie. Deep down inside, he truly felt sorry for her. All of a sudden, Sebastian couldn’t help but recall the days they had spent living in a small apartment, like any other ordinary couple
Natalie would always have to track their living expenses.
In truth, he enjoyed her nagging and didn’t mind being yelled at by her because no one else would dare to treat him like that Sebastian suddenly came to the realization that he was nothing but a puppet whose strings were being pulled by Natalie.
He leaned over, gazing her deeply, and said, “Why do you have to think of our relationship in such a superficial way? I’ll admit, at first, I married you just to fulfill my mother’s dying wish, but then I truly fell in love with you. And since then, I’ve loved you unconditionally. If I wanted to marry the daughter of a rich and powerful family, I could’ve gotten married before I met you. Why do I have to put so much effort to keep you by my side if I don’t have feelings for you? No matter what happens, you will always be my wife.”
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Sebastian’s words,She used to think that Sebastian was a frivolous man who never took anything seriously in his life.
However, when she looked into his eyes now, she could see that he was speaking the truth. When she locked eyes with him, her breathing became erratic and her heart started beating faster.
She looked away, not knowing how to respond to the intensity of Sebastian’s gaze
She lowered her head, knowing that Sebastian was still staring at her, and faintly said, “Why are you looking at me like that? I’ve already told you what I want. Please just let me go.”
With tenderness in his eyes, Sebastian raised his hand and stroked her hair.
‘It’s okay. I have plenty of time. I’ll wait for you to change your mind. But, you wouldn’t have brought it up for no reason. Natalie, please tell me who have you been talked to?” he said in a gentle tone.
“Please?”
Natalie thought that Sebastian should know the truth, so she raised her head to look at him and said, “Miss Turner came to see me and she told me some things that sounded very reasonable.”
“How could you believe a word of what Charis says?” Sebastian shook his head in disappointment. Sometimes he wished Natalie wasn’t so easily manipulated, “I knew she was up to no good, but what she said was true.”
Natalie’s eyes darkened Sebastian squeezed her cheeks and looked at her sullen face carefully. As his eyes fell on her pink lips, he said, “Can’t you tell that she desperately wants you to leave me?”
Natalie turned her head away, pouting her lips.
“Don’t touch me, Mr. Larson. I’m a married woman I should warn you that my husband is very good at fighting if he finds out about this, he’s going to pin you against the wall and teach you a lesson” Clearly, Natalie was still mad at him
Sebastian turned a deaf ear to her words. He grabbed her leg and slowly moved to the gap between her thighs.
Although Natalie was wearing jeans, she could still feel the warmth of his hand. With his strong arms, Sebastian put down the passenger seat and pressed his body against hers.
“Sebastian!” Shocked, Natalie clamped her legs and propped up her elbow on each knee.
“I’m the only one who gets to spoil you.” Sebastian pinched Natalie’s legs and then moved his hands to her waist. He leaned down and rubbed his nose against Natalie’s.
“What are you afraid of? Have I ever forced you? If I had known earlier, I would have made love to you already if I can’t have your heart, then at least, I could have had your body”
“Don’t say that,” Natalie scolded him in a low voice. It was as though Sebastian’s old roguish self had returned. She knew she shouldn’t care about what Charis said either, but she couldn’t help it. After all, Charis sounded very convincing
Like a magic spell, her words kept repeating in Natalie’s mind Looking closely at her fluttering eyelashes, Sebastian raised his hand and gently smoothened her knitted brows.
“I know you still have doubts, but you can go back with me first. It’s okay if you don’t want to work in the Larson Group, but you have to stay with me.”
Sebastian’s words softened her heart.
Maybe she just couldn’t say no to this man
Now that this man had come all the way here chasing after her, she could never escape him.
After tidying up her messy clothes, Sebastian took Natalie back into the airport.
His private plane had been waiting there for a long time.
