Chapter 1787 Jealousy
As soon as our gazes met, I looked away subconsciously and awkwardly. But yet, I could feel his eyes lingering all over me.
After a long torment that lasted a few seconds, he squinted and withdrew his gaze before he left.
I wondered if he had seen through me, or was he just jealous?
Although I couldn’t be sure, I had to assume it was the latter.
The more jealous he was, the more reason I had to stay out of his sight from then on. That was the only way to make him crave for me more.
For the next three days, I had to shut him out. I went to John’s house and fetched the kids. Throughout the entire time, I focused all my energy and time on them.
At last, on a Saturday afternoon, I decided to go to the garden for some relaxation after putting Audrey to sleep. That was when Nathaniel showed up out of nowhere.
He was standing motionlessly still on the gravel road leading to the back entrance. Perhaps the gloomy weather played a part, but I saw an utter sadness in his eyes when he was staring at me.
At that moment, I was wearing a set of matching pajamas I got for Audrey and me. My hair was casually tied up to a messy bun. In fact, I looked like a mess, to say the least. I wondered why he looked so sad, though.
“Oh, you’re here,” I greeted him coldly.
Without saying a word, he just kept looking back at me with those depressed eyes.
“Come and have a sit.” I was acting as though I didn’t notice the expression in his eyes. I poured a cup of tea and blurted, “Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up.”
Then, I silently enjoyed a sip of my tea.
A few moments later, Nathaniel slowly walked toward me, and instead of sitting down, he stood right in front of me. He was staring down at me as I sensed a hint of anger in his gaze. Maybe it was because he was unhappy with me behaving as if nothing had happened.
“What do you want?” I refused to look at him while I kept my palms warm with my cup of tea.
Without getting a response from Nathaniel after a long wait, I raised my head and looked at him. The moment our eyes met, he grabbed my wrist and gripped onto it tightly.
Argh! Due to my injured shoulder, I instinctively screeched in pain when I struggled to set my wrist free.
Although he did loosen up his grip for a while, he then squeezed even tighter. “You’re still in love with Ashton, aren’t you?” he fumed.
Refusing to give in, I lifted my chin and furrowed my brows. “What does it have to do with you?”
“Answer me now!” Nathaniel clenched his teeth as hard as he was squeezing my wrist.
I started breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain. I took a deep breath to gather my strength and snapped with my trembling lips, “Yes! I still love him. I will love him till the day I die! Are you satisfied now?”
“Shut up!” Nathaniel suddenly burst into a rage. He then grabbed my throat with his other hand. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Instantly, I started choking.
As I was gasping for air, I struggled relentlessly to break free. I was completely at his mercy.
Despite that, I still kept staring into his eyes with an absolute determination not to submit to him.
Nathaniel’s veins were throbbing, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked just like a murderous devil.
When I felt I was losing consciousness, I used my last remaining energy to let out a sinister laugh while still staring at him. “Haha. Y-You’ve lost.”
