Chapter 1098

Warm steam filled the bathroom, carrying the soft scent of Michelle’s shower gel. Water pattered steadily from the showerhead, and through the frosted glass door, Nathan could see a faint silhouette. It was blurred, but with enough outline to reveal every curve.
He schooled his expression back under control. Taking advantage of a woman simply wasn’t in his nature. It was something drilled into his bones.
He announced, “I brought your nightdress!”
The frosted glass door cracked open by an inch. A slim, fair arm reached out. “Give it to me!”
Nathan walked over and handed her the dress. “I’ll head out now!”
He turned to leave.
However, Michelle’s voice came from behind him. “What is this nightdress? Nathan, did you do this on purpose?”
Nathan stopped and looked back. “What?”
Michelle, still in the bath, poked her head out. Her hair was damp, and she had no makeup on. With skin as smooth as porcelain, even her fine baby hairs were visible. Her face was fresh from the shower, and it hit him straight in the chest.
Nathan went still for half a second.
She held up the nightdress as she looked at him. “Nathan, how am I supposed to wear this?”
Only then did he really glance at it. The red nightdress had barely any fabric at all and was held together by a few straps. It was blatantly meant to be seductive.
Nathan had never actually dated anyone or been intimate with a woman, but he wasn’t innocent. He knew what this kind of thing was at first glance. He pressed his lips. “I didn’t prepare that.”
“Then who did prepare it?” Michelle asked.
“Rosa. She put it in the room earlier,” Nathan said.
With her head poking out, Michelle tossed the nightdress aside and said, “I’m not wearing that. Go find me another one!”
“I don’t have any others here!” Nathan said helplessly.
Michelle stared at him. “Really? You bring women back here, but you don’t keep anything for them?”
“What women? I’ve never brought anyone back here!” Nathan said.
She knew that already. The room showed no signs of any woman having stayed there. So, his private life was clean. “So what what now? can’t
walk out there naked. Fine. Let me
borrow one of your shirts.”
“My shirt?” Nathan was confused.
“Yeah. Rosa is watching us like a hawk out there, and I can’t call someone to send over a set of pajamas. Nathan, it’s just a shirt. Don’t be stingy,” Michelle said.
“Alright. I’ll get you one!” Nathan replied.
Nathan stepped out, opened his wardrobe, and chose a white dress shirt. He returned and handed it to her.
“Here. It’s new!”
Michelle took it. “Thanks.”
“No problem.”
He walked out again.
Michelle stepped back under the shower. A mirror hung on the wall, reflecting her damp, delicate face.
Since she had already net
have child with him, she needed to assess his situation first. His private life was spotless, and she was happy with that.
When she
made
de him come inside earlier, the way he looked at her carried that quick avoidance, that flicker of restraint. It was a man’s instinctive reaction when faced with a beautiful woman. It meant there was potential.
Michelle looked at her reflection. Tonight, she was going to take Nathan down.
