“Natalie, I…” Adrian had a sudden enlightenment. Guilt swarmed him.

He said that he would take responsibility for Hailey because it was his libido talking.

Thinking about Natalie’s question, Adrian suddenly connected the dots. His eyes filled not only with astonishment but also with joy.

“Natalie, are you saying that you never wanted to marry Oliver? Did Hailey make you take her place? If you didn’t marry Oliver of your free will, come back to me! Oliver hasn’t slept with you, right? I doubt his tattered body can handle the task.”

Adrian didn’t notice Natalie’s hostile attitude and reached for her hand.

Natalie discreetly pushed his hand away, thinking to herself, ‘I don’t want his filthy hands on me! He slept with Hailey, claiming that he would take responsibility for her. Now, he wants me back? Who’s gonna be the other woman in this relationship? Me or Hailey?‘

“Adrian, I will not reconcile with you. It’s impossible.”

“Why?” Adrian didn’t understand. “Oliver is disfigured, and he’s dying. No one in the Windsor family likes that pathetic loser! What do you see in him? Natalie, I understand. You spoke nice things about Oliver to please them. But you can always tell me the truth! I know you hate Oliver!”

“Who said that I was lying to please them?” Natalie feigned a sweet smile. “Adrian, disfigured or not, Oliver has never cheated on me. He’s in poor health, but I will take care of him. Even though his family doesn’t like him, I do!”

She paused, acting shy. “How would you say for sure that Oliver couldn’t get it up? Have you tested him? I’m telling you from first–hand experience that he can do it all night long!”

Adrian was so furious that he choked on his breathing.

“Natalie, I know you are saying these things just to anger me. Adrian didn’t believe her. “You’re still mad at me because of Hailey? That night was really a misunderstanding!”

“If that night was a misunderstanding, what about the times after that? Were every kiss and every time you slept with her all misunderstandings?” Natalie couldn’t hold back her temper.

“Adrian, if you couldn’t think clearly and constantly caused misunderstandings for over a month, I suggest that you get your brain checked.”

“Natalie!”

Embarrassed and furious, Adrian strode toward Natalie.

He was determined to shut Natalie up with a searing kiss as every word out of her mouth would only anger him further.

Natalie noticed that his eyes were burning with wrath and desire and scurried backward in shock.

Before she could take another step back, she slammed into a man behind her. The person grabbed her and pulled her into strong arms.

She could feel the person’s solid muscles and taut skin through their thin clothes. And the sense of power of this embrace made her feel safe.

Her nostrils were filled with a familiar and alluring scent with a hint of tobacco.

Darling, you neglect to tell him that I can do it all day too.”

Oliver’s calm and low voice sounded behind her.

Natalie’s body tensed. She felt his hand encircling her waist, his breath gently fanning the top of her head, causing her to tremble.

When she turned around, she didn’t see Oliver’s handsome face as she expected. Instead, she saw a delicate silver mask. It extended from his forehead to his strong jawline, covering the entire left side of his face.

She could only see a part of his right cheek and his eyes. Looking into his calm eyes, she couldn’t detect any emotions, but she surely felt his power. One might think that only someone from the freezing hell could possess such eyes.
