Chapter 1785 Putting On A Show

“Really?” I put my hands down and walked toward him while refusing to believe in superstitions. Then, I

walked around him in circles. Nathaniel’s eyes were subconsciously glued to me.

I stopped right behind him. “In that case, wouldn’t I die even earlier?”

While I was speaking, I reached out to touch his right hand.

The moment our skin made contact, Nathaniel’s reaction was exactly the same as Ashton’s. He pulled

his hand away abruptly and turned toward me in shock.

“What are you doing?” Nathaniel queried.

“I’m just doing what lovers should do to each other. Since you’re so clueless, don’t you think I should

take the lead?” I stared at him affectionately as if I had fallen for him.

However, what I really wanted was to tear him apart.

Nathaniel was still in shock. His facial expression was of a person who had just gotten taken advantage

of. Something remained unchanged, though. His eyes were still filled with evil intentions, and he was like

an impatient monster ready to pounce at any moment.

Fortunately, it wouldn’t work on me. After all, once the monster was all softened up, it was harmless.

While he was looking at me, I stared back with a grin. “I’m guessing that you’ve never laid a finger on a

woman before?”

Nathaniel shrugged. “You guessed wrong.”

I was wondering why he was speaking with such a snobbish tone. Or perhaps, that was just how men

were when they talked to the opposite sex.

I shifted my gaze away and chuckled lightly. While acting like I was a bit riled up, I said, “Oh, I’ve

underestimated you then. It seems like your experience in intimate relationships is far beyond my

expectations.”

With that, I looked down and fiddled with my fingers. In my head, I was thinking about what could I do to

make Nathaniel feel the greatest pain in the world. But the way I acted was as if I was a grumpy and

jealous woman whining about her man having affairs.

With romance and the feeling of uneasiness intertwined, the atmosphere in the private restroom was

getting more and more dreadful by the minute. So bad that it could make a person gasp for air.

After a while, Nathaniel cleared his throat and said, “I’m not as sleazy as you think I am.”

Upon hearing that, my lips curved into a smile, and my eyes glistened with confidence. Why are you so

eager to explain yourself, Nathaniel? Why are you so worried? Or do you want me to keep teasing you?

Don’t worry, Nathaniel. Nothing is going to happen to you. Not until you are totally enchanted, at least.

A few moments later, I raised my head, looked at him with wonder in my eyes, and asked, “You said that

just to make me happy, didn’t you?”

His brows furrowed. “What?”

Without giving him time to react, I looked down and mumbled, “It’s okay. It’s better this way, I guess. I

understand that everyone has their own past. I have no right to ask anything of you.”

My words had just implied Nathaniel’s purity as a dark past which he couldn’t bring himself to admit. Not

only that, I’d said it in a way that portrayed myself as an inferior lady who craved for nothing but his love.

But in reality, I was only luring him closer, so I could cause him the pain he had never felt before.

After all, true hunters would often present themselves as prey.

“I…” Nathaniel was about to explain, but then he changed his tone and coldly said, “It’s good that you

know. I’m not a man that can be easily fooled by you.”

Still refusing to give in, are you, Mr. Hall? But too bad, it’s too late now. Once I heard he had the intention

to draw a line between us, I stopped acting desperate and put on a straight face. I stood up bearishly and

started walking out while saying, “Fine then. Treat it as I was overthinking.”
