Chapter 1138

If Michelle got pregnant, there was no way she would work out.
Nathan told her, “Get some sleep. I’ll drive us home.”
Michelle replied, “Okay.”
He hit the gas, and the car sped smoothly down the road. Maybe his driving was just that good, because Michelle drifted off in no time. She had actually fallen asleep.
Nathan chuckled helplessly at how quickly she’d passed out. He must have really worn her out just now.
He eased off the speed and turned on the AC, driving all the way home.
Half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of the villa. Michelle still hadn’t woken up. Nathan didn’t plan to wake her, so he simply lifted her out of the car.
As he stepped into the villa, Rosa immediately came up to them. “Nathan, Michelle! Oh my, did Michelle fall asleep in the car?”
Nathan said, “Don’t wake her. I’m taking her upstairs now.”
But Rosa called out to him, “Nathan, hasn’t Michelle been extra sleepy lately?”
Nathan thought for a moment. “Seems like it. Last night she fell asleep right at her desk.”
With an idea in mind, Rosa’s face lit up with joy.
Nathan asked, “Why are you asking, Rosa?”
She smiled. “Oh, it’s nothing. Go on, take Michelle upstairs so she can rest early.”
Nathan carried Michelle up to their room.
Rosa was overjoyed. It looked like Martin’s wish was about to come true. Michelle might actually be pregnant!
In the bedroom, Nathan set Michelle down on the bed. He pinched her cheek lightly. “Do you want to take a shower?”
In her sleep, Michelle frowned. “Don’t bother me! I’m so tired!”
She hugged the blanket and kept sleeping.
Nathan sighed helplessly. He went into the bathroom to get a towel, then began
wiping her down. Michelle slept soundly through it all.
Once he was done, Nathan went into
the bathroom himself and took a show He felt a stinging on his back Looking in the mirror he saw several scratch marks across it.
Back at the movie theater, she’d scratched him so hard that he bled. Not only that, she’d left a bunch of hickeys along his neck and collarbone, which gave him a rather suggestive look.
Nathan smirked. Michelle was just like a temptress when she was burning with desire. He felt like she’d sucked him dry.
He had to admit that he was
physically addicted to Michelle. Whenever she came onto him, he just couldn’t say no. No other woman had ever made him, this reckless
Nathan put on his pajamas and went back into the room. He got into bed, pulled Michelle into his arms, and then kissed her forehead. “Good night.”
…
When Michelle woke the next morning, the space beside her was empty. Nathan was already gone.
As she checked the time, she felt a bit dazed. It was already eight o’clock.
She had slept straight through to eight the next day.
Good heavens! Was she even the same career-driven woman anymore?
Michelle started to get up when there was a knock at the door. Rosa called from outside, “Michelle, are you awake?”
“I’m up, Rosa!”
Rosa pushed the door open and handed something to Michelle. “Michelle, this is for you.”
