Natalie was startled. “If I’m not Cassie Quinn, who else do you think I am? It’s such a lame question,”
she said jokingly.
Natalie had married Sebastian as Cassie Quinn. If she messed up the plan, Lauren would not give her
the money. Hannah was still at the hospital, waiting for the money to get her surgery done.
Sebastian frowned — something seemed out of place. Someone who had previously investigated the
daughter of the Quinn family told him that Cassie was an arrogant, willful, vain, brainless woman who
liked seducing wealthy men for personal gain.
Therefore, he pretended to be a penniless loser in front of Natalie, thinking she was Cassie so that she
would take the initiative to ask for a divorce because the woman despised the poor.
However, the woman in front of him seemed surprisingly accepting of his financial position, as well as
his humble abode.
Besides, her nervousness seemed apparent even though she tried her best to remain calm.
Sebastian felt the woman in front of her was kind and sweet. She seemed interesting to him.
But it didn’t matter whether she was the real Cassie or not. He married Cassie only because this was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis mother’s last wish on her deathbed.
All he had to do was marry her.
“It was a casual question. Forget about it.” Sebastian picked up the suit jacket and stepped back. “I
have finished saying what I want to say. Do you have anything else to add?”
Natalie felt relieved. “No.”
She shook her head and looked around. There was only one bedroom and a tiny sofa in the living
room. ‘Do I have to sleep on the same bed with Sebastian?’ she thought.
Sebastian turned around and was about to go to the bathroom when he saw the concern in her eyes.
He remembered there was only one bed in the house. The house had been unoccupied for a long time;
he only asked the servants to clean it every month.
“There’s only one bed here. I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight. You can sleep in the bedroom,” Sebastian
said, casually unbuttoning his cuffs.
Natalie looked at him in surprise. ‘Does he know how to read people’s minds? How does he know what
I was thinking?’ she thought.
Although Natalie wanted him to sleep in the living room and was overjoyed that he offered before she
asked, she pretended to be embarrassed. “Is that okay? It is our wedding night. Don’t you think it is
inappropriate for you to sleep on the sofa? Besides, you are big and tall. How can you sleep
comfortably on the small sofa?”
“It is indeed uncomfortable. But there is only one bed here. If I want to sleep comfortably, I might have
to sleep here on the same bed with you.” Sebastian lowered his head and leaned closer to her. His
eyes darkened as their gaze met. “I’ll join you after taking a shower,” he whispered into her ear.
“You… you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t mean that.” Natalie’s eyes widened. She braced herself as a
blush flamed her cheeks. She lowered her eyes, trying to escape. But there was nowhere to hide. She
was forced to retreat to the wooden table.
Seeing that she was about to hit the corner of the table, Sebastian reached out and held her tightly in
his arms.
“Then, what did you mean?” Sebastian asked, cocking his head to the side with a playful glint in his
eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie blinked at him, looking like a trapped animal.
Her heart was pounding in her chest. She could feel Sebastian’s warm breath blowing against her
neck. The man’s body heat cloaked her. She had the urge to run away.
“I just want to sleep alone. And you just said that we only needed to be a nominal couple.”
“Well, I can change my mind. Being a real couple seems like a good option. After all, it looks like you
want to consummate the wedding.” Sebastian withdrew his hand from her waist and tucked a loose
strand of hair behind her ear.
“No, I don’t!” Natalie hissed through her teeth. Her face turned red, looking like an angry kitten.
“Well, it looks like it. You are inviting a man to sleep on the same bed with you,” Sebastian said
indifferently.
Natalie pushed him away, rushed into the bedroom, closed the door behind her, and locked it.
Seeing her reaction, Sebastian chuckled outside.
Leaning against the door, Natalie panted for breath. Her heart was beating faster than normal. Her face
burned as if she had a fever.
As her racing heart gradually slowed down, she made up her mind to hit Sebastian with the lamp on
the bedside table if he tried coming anywhere near her.
Natalie then cautiously sat on the bed, her gaze fixed on the closed door. She couldn’t fall asleep until it
was very late.
