Chapter 1788 Moment Of Truth
Almost instantaneously, it was as if Nathaniel came back to his senses, and he withdrew his hands at once.
I dropped to the chair I was initially sitting on. Although I was almost choked to death, I held my chest and laughed out loud. “Hahaha! When I was choking to death, did you feel that your heart was aching as well? Nathaniel, how does it feel when you have no control over something?”
He remained prideful when he stood strong before me. “There’s nothing I can’t control.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Yeah, I believe you.” I nodded and laughed even more eerily. “Then, do you care to explain why you have shown up here out of the blue?”
Even when he was hurt emotionally, three days was all it took for him to realize his urge to see me.
I supposed those were the most torturous three days in his life. However, it meant nothing. Because in his words, this was only the beginning.
Nathaniel kept mum because he had absolutely nothing to say. There was nothing he could say to reverse what he had just done. He had practically exposed his true emotions. He had no option but to admit the fact that he had fallen for the person who he claimed not to care.
Furthermore, he lost control over who his heart truly desired. Over the past decade, he had all the fun he wanted. From now onward, his days would be filled with misery and redemption.
“It’s nothing, really.” I put on a smile and got up from the chair. I looked at him with compassion and kindness. “We are meant to be, right? This is all part of your plan. So from now on, we should just cherish the love we have for each other, right?”
Listening to that, Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed, and he looked at me with doubt in his eyes. I could see he was contemplating his next moves.
As I resisted the urge to strangle him, I raised my hand and stroked his cheeks lovingly. “Now you can be with me in public, isn’t that good?”
“But you’ve just told me you’ll love Ashton till the day you die,” Nathaniel said stubbornly.
Well, I had to oblige if he couldn’t see past what I said. I lowered my gaze before I continued to brainwash him. “That doesn’t matter. As I said, we’re all greedy by nature. I do love Ashton, but that doesn’t mean I can’t love you at the same time. At the moment, there’s nothing I would do for him I wouldn’t do for you. Now, I guess everything depends on which of you two wants me more.”
Suddenly, Nathaniel grabbed my waist and pulled me toward him. We were standing so close to each other that I could feel his breath on my cheeks. “You’re so greedy,” he blurted.
I felt a hint of unwillingness in his words because his tone was so cold. Not only did he emit a dangerous aura, but it was like he was the hunter and I was the prey.
With zero distance separating us, I tried my hardest to squeeze out a smile, albeit an awkward one. “Isn’t that a good thing?”
I could tell that he didn’t fancy my answer, but he couldn’t resist me. He put his hand at the back of my head and hugged me.
He hugged me so tightly I had no choice but to let him have his way with me. As a reaction to his affectionate hug, I then forced myself to give him a few pats on his back.
At the same time, I felt that he wasn’t as tense anymore. A hug was all it took to soften up the beast inside of him.
I always believed that hugs could intensify the love two people had for each other. The more love he felt from me, the more miserable his life would be. I was prepared to torture him for a long time to come, but I wondered how much he could take.
After a few seconds, he finally let me loose. Our eyes met, and an awkward silence hung in the air. It was as though he wasn’t used to being so close to me.
As a gentle and loving girlfriend, I smiled blissfully at him. I intended to say something in order to bring the awkward moment to an end.
But before I could utter a word, he fled like a scaredy-cat.
