Once they returned to the apartment, Natalie vacated her room and put her personal belongings in Sebastian‘s room.
“Why are you moving your things? Are you two sleeping in ‘separate rooms even after being married for so long?” Hannah grabbed Natalie's arm and eyed her with concern.
“Is that man not treating you right? Did you two fight?” Hannah squinted and looked at Sebastian, who was busy cooking in the kitchen.
Natalie couldn't help but smile at her concern.
“No, we are fine.I've been working overtime, so | come home late at night.! didn’t want to disturb Sebastian's sleep, so | chose to sleep in a separate room.Hannah, the long ride must have exhausted you.Do you want to take a nap in the bedroom?” “That's good.! thought the handsome boy wasn't treating you well.” Hannah smiled, and the wrinkles around her eyes deepened like they always did.
“All right.Don"t overwork yourself. Keep it simple.I'm old, and | live a simple life.” Natalie took all her clothes to Sebastian's bedroom so that Hannah could rest in her room.
Just then, Natalie felt a tight grip around her.
Sebastian chuckled, and the two rolled on the bed.
Natalie yelped in shock.
“Why didn’t you make a sound before coming inside? Stop it.Hannah is still in the next room.” “My room is soundproof.
Let's give it a try,” Sebastian mumbled, biting her collarbone.
He pressed his body against hers.His loose black shirt slid down, revealing his collarbone. His chiseled jaw and the stubble made Natalie weak in her knees.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe intensity of his gaze made Natalie's hair stand on end.He tightened his grip, making it impossible for her to move.
Natalie whimpered under his hold.
“Not now, Sebastian! Let go of me.” Natalie was frightened.
Sebastian was aroused; it looked like he would pounce on her.It would be embarrassing if Hannah heard it.
“Stop it! | need to discuss something important with you.We need to think about how to help Hannah.” Hearing that, Sebastian finally let go of her.He kissed the corner of her lips, leaned back on the head of the bed, and thought for a while.
“Well, Hannah's problem is quite complicated. read the document she has signed. The papers seem legit enough, and we can't prove that Hannah was tricked or forced to sign the papers.Even if we go to court, | don't think we can win this case.” “What do you mean? We can't pay the money.It's three hundred thousand dollars!” Natalie sounded anxious.
She had just started working, so her income wouldn't cover the debt.And she didn’t have much savings.
Why else would she ask the Quinn family to pay for Hannah's medical expenses? Arranging for three hundred thousand dollars was a nightmare.She didn’t know what to do.Sebastian stared at the ceiling “Well,” he took a deep breath and said, “Since it's impossible to win this case, | think the only solution is destroying the fraud gang” “What? How is that possible? Neither of us has the power or means to do that.If we were that powerful, we wouldn't be worrying about arranging for the money in the first place.” Natalie felt like they had hit the dead end.
Sebastian turned to look at her.It was impossible for Sebastian to solve such a problem, but Brandon could. It was a piece of
cake for him.
He wanted to remind Natalie but decided against it.If he mentioned Brandon first, it would only arouse her suspicion.
Sebastian smiled and pinched her cheek.
Seeing that Natalie was still upset, he pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t worry.I'll talk to my friends.Some of them are victims of fraudulent groups like these.I'll ask them for advice. You stop worrying about it.” The man and the woman were forced to share a room that night because Hannah was staying in the other room After dinner, while Sebastian was taking a shower, Natalie paced around his room restlessly.She obviously didn’t want to share a bed with Sebastian, but there wasn't even a sofa she could sleep on.
“What're you doing? Do you need my help?” Sebastian strolled out of the bathroom and leaned against the door frame.He was wearing gray linen pajamas with a towel hanging on his shoulder.
As he looked at Natalie leisurely, he ran his fingers through his damp hair.
Natalie was taken aback by his handsome figure and instantly went stiff.
“Nothing.” she answered awkwardly, “Why can't you just tell me?” Sebastian smiled, his eyes twinkling.
Without pressing her further, he sat on the bed and dried his hair with the towel “I can sleep on the floor...” Natalie averted her gaze, her face flushed with embarrassment.
“What're you talking about? We're a married couple. We can share a bed.” As he spoke, Sebastian put the towel away and lay on the bed, resting the back of his head on his arms.He sat up slightly to look at her with his black eyes and asked mischievously, “Didn't you say that we would do it tonight?” “Do what?” Natalie's heart leapt to her throat.
How could he say such a thing? She took a deep breath to compose herself.
Finally, she whispered shyly, “Didn't | tell you? Hannah's sleeping right next door and this room is far from sound proof.Sometimes, | can even hear you talking on the phone from my room.” Of course, moans would be heard even more clearly.
“Forget it then.I'm going to bed now.”
Sebastian tore his gaze away from her and lay back down on the bed.
After all, he was just kidding.He knew that Natalie was a timid girl.
But Natalie misread his reaction.She thought he was angry with her, so she crept to the bed and sat down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGritting her teeth, she hesitated for a while, then finally sighed in defeat.
“If you really want to do it, how about we go to a hotel?” There was no way she would have sex in the same apartment as Hannah.
Raising his head to look at her, Sebastian stretched out his hand to ruffle her hair playfully.
As though he had read her mind, he laughed and said, “Do you think Hannah's a three-year-old child? We're a couple.How can we leave our own home and stay in a hotel? What will Hannah think?” Learning against the headboard, he jutted his chin at the pillow next to him.
“Come on and get some sleep already. You don’t have to worry.
‘Your husband can control himself.” “Oh, okay.l'll take a shower
first though.” Natalie sighed with relief.
Tonight's sky was clear and cloudless.
Countless stars were scattered all over the night sky.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, Natalie lifted a corner of the quilt and slipped into bed next to Sebastian.
The bed sheet smelled faintly of mint.
Sebastian lay on his side, facing the bare white wall.
A hush fell over the room Natalie faced the window, but she was so nervous that her body was as stiff as a plank.
The two lay in silence for what seemed like an eternity.
Finally, Natalie figured that Sebastian must've fallen asleep, so she slowly turned over.
Just then, Sebastian also happened to move.He was carefully lifting the quilt up, as if he was about to get out of bed.
