Chapter 1142

Michelle hung up after saying that to Nathan.
While holding his phone, Nathan’s brows furrowed. Something felt off about Michelle’s tone, but maybe she was just too busy.
“Mr. Lynch, let’s head to the meeting.”
Nathan stood up. “Let’s go.”
…
Nathan returned at eight in the evening. Rosa immediately came to greet him. “Nathan, you’re home!”
Noticing the smile on Rosa’s face, Nathan asked, “Rosa, what’s the occasion? You seem really thrilled today.”
Rosa chuckled. “It really is a special occasion!”
Nathan asked, “What kind of occasion?”
Rosa remembered Michelle’s instructions and kept her mouth shut. “I can’t tell you.”
Nathan laughed. Even Rosa was being all mysterious now. He looked around but didn’t see Michelle. “Is Michelle not back yet?”
“It was getting late, so I called her. She said she’s already on her way home and will be back soon. You know, the Lynch family has more than enough money. She really doesn’t need to work at all.”
Nathan replied, “If she likes working, let her work. Family and marriage shouldn’t trap a woman. She has a career she’s passionate about, after all.”
Rosa nodded. “I’ll support whatever Michelle wants. Nathan, why don’t you go up and take a shower first?”
Nathan went up to the bedroom and took a cold shower first. As he turned off the water, he heard movement outside in the room. Michelle must have come back home.
Nathan put on his pajamas and stepped out, and sure enough, he saw Michelle.
Michelle had taken off her coat, revealing a white sweater dress. Her long hair fell loosely around her shoulders, and with no makeup today, she looked even fresher and purer than usual.
Nathan said, “You’re back?”
Michelle reached up to remove the
pearl earrings from her earlobes and

“Just finished. Do you want to go in and wash up?”
Michelle said, “Okay.”
She reached back to pull down the zipper, but she couldn’t reach it. “Nathan, help me out. Can you get the zipper?”
She stood in front of him with her back turned, sweeping her long hair aside to reveal her neck.
Nathan stepped forward and pulled the zipper down. They were so

“Thanks.”
Michelle was about to step into the shower, but Nathan suddenly hugged her waist from behind. She immediately felt his tall, well built. body press up against her back he leaned in close, and his lips brushed against her hair near her ear.
A shiver ran through her. “Nathan, what are you doing?”
Nathan kissed her hair again. “Are you going to shower?”
“Yeah.”
“Want to shower together?”
Michelle turned to look at him. “Didn’t you just shower?”
“I want to shower again.”
He leaned in to kiss her, but Michelle turned her head away, dodging his kiss.
Nathan frowned. “Why are you pulling back?”
She had never avoided him before. In fact, she was always the one taking the initiative.
