âYou better take a shower first. I can wait.â Natalie subconsciously stepped back as if guarding herself against an enemy.
She looked like a trapped bird, struggling hard to hide her panic.
She didnât know how to face her so-called husband.
The man stood at the table and looked at Natalie.
She looked like a deer caught in headlights.
Sebastian looked at her and chuckled. âDonât be nervous. I wonât eat you. I need to discuss something with you.â
Natalie crossed her arms over her chest and hesitantly walked over to him. She didnât want to be associated with this man in any way. Everything was happening too fast. She was married to a man she had just met at her wedding.
âWhat is it?â
Sebastian picked up a wooden chair with one hand and put it in front of her. âSit down, please.â
Then, he dragged his chair closer to her and sat down. âI donât like beating around the bush. I know youâre unwilling to marry me.â
âIs it that obvious?â thought Natalie.
âA relationship canât be achieved overnight. It needs time â we need to get to know each other first,â she explained, trying to hide her embarrassment.
However, after saying so, she felt her explanation seemed unnecessary. Sebastian was aware of his position and what people thought of him. He knew Cassie wouldnât want to marry an illegitimate person like him.
Sebastian knitted his brows and looked Natalie up and down. The woman had been nervous right from the beginning. She had been biting her lower lip, her gaze nervously roaming around everywhere.
âDonât worry. Iâm not interested in this marriage either. We can be a married couple to the outside world, but letâs stay out of each otherâs affairs. That way, we can avoid trouble and live in harmony. I spend most of the time outside and seldom come home. I want to have the freedom to do whatever I want. The same goes for you. I will not control or interfere in your business.â
Then, he stood up and picked up the suit jacket from the chair. Then, as if remembering something, Sebastian bent over and grabbed the armrests of the chair, trapping Natalie between his arms.
The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband ï¤Chapter 4 The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)
ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 âWatching a man change his clothes isnât right. In case, you want me to fulfill your sexual desires, I will be more than happy to satisfy you as a husband.â
The smell of laundry detergent mingling with his scent wafted in the air, making Natalieâs scalp prickle.
âNo need,â she hissed through her teeth, trying not to show any weakness.
Sebastianâs face darkened. He glanced at Natalieâs stomach for a split second and warned, âAlthough we are just a nominal couple, there is one thing I want you to keep in mind.â He took a deep breath and said, âI donât want to find out that my wife is pregnant with another manâs child one day.â
Loyalty was the most important virtue for Sebastian. He had heard that Cassie changed men like changing clothes.
âI will abide by my duty as a wife as long as we are married,â Natalie answered firmly. âI hope you keep your word and donât interfere with my life.â
The manâs playful smile faded a little.
He straightened up and stepped back from Natalie. âYouâre not Cassie Quinn, are you?â he asked, arching an eyebrow.
