Chapter 1110
Michelle saw nothing wrong with her comments, which were all compliments for Nathan.
She approached him with a smile. “Why are you here?”
Nathan took in the subtle change in Michelle’s expression. She had mentioned him to annoy Michelle, but she froze in embarrassment when she spotted him. Now, she had reverted to her indifferent self.
It seemed Michelle was pretty good at acting.
He smiled too. “I came to check on you because you’ve been gone for a while.”
“I’m fine. I had a little chat with Madelyn, and I’m about to head back. Let’s go.” Meanwhile, Madelyn was excited to see Nathan.
“Nathan!” she called out.
He turned around.
“Nathan, I don’t have a place to stay tonight. Can I crash at your place? Michelle turned me down just now, but you know it’s dangerous for a single woman to spend the night alone.”
Madelyn started to play victim.
Michelle looked at Nathan, unsure how he’d answer. She would have no choice if he agreed to welcome Madelyn, especially since he was the villa’s owner.
If that happened, she would move away.
At this moment, she still had no idea what he thought of Madelyn. Madelyn was popular among men. They always lined up for her.
What if Nathan caught feelings for Madelyn and took pity on her?
Michelle realized that she didn’t know him that well after all. She waited for his answer.
Staring at Madelyn, he apologized, “Sorry. Michelle has the final say at home. I think I just heard her say no to you. So, it’s a no.”
Shocked, Michelle never thought, he’d give such an answer. She had run through various versions of the answer he might give. But in the end, he stated that she was the decision maker in the family.
He draped an arm around her shoulder. “Let’s go.”
She nodded. “Okay.”
They passed Madelyn by. Feeling vexed, Madelyn quietly vowed, “I will take everything from you, Michelle! You’ll see!”
After walking for a bit, Michelle finally thanked him. She appreciated him for taking her side.
He asked, “Why are you thanking me?”
“I
He let out a low chuckle. “Are you thanking me for my looks or my virility? Are you thanking me for going at it the whole night?”
See? She knew it! He had overheard
her remarks, but he wasn’t a gentleman about it. Instead of acting like he had not heard it, he teased her about it.
She denied it, “No, that’s not why I thanked you!”
He replied, “Yeah. I recalled we didn’t go at it the whole night.”
His memory was pretty sharp.
Inhaling deeply, Michelle tried to get a grip on her anger. Flashing a sweet smile at him, she teased, “Yeah, so you should work harder the next time.”.
