“No need. This is just a minor punishment. If this happens again, you won’t get off with merely taking your clothes off in front of me!”

He heartlessly turned around and left after saying that.

Nathan returned to his room and stood before the mirror as he undid his collar. There was a small blood-red tooth mark on his shoulder.

She had bitten him deeply, and he was feeling the pain now.

Nathan stood before the floor-to-ceiling window with a cigarette in his mouth and lit it with a lighter.

Frowning, he began puffing his cigarette.

Due to his background, he hated people who did not live chaste lives. He thought he would not become such a person.

Over the years, Nathan had very few wants and needs, and he did not keep women by his side. However, that all changed when he returned to the country. He had slept with a woman.

He was attracted to Shirley and changed his mind about the divorce. Then, he met the little housekeeper, Caroline, who constantly frustrated him.

On one side was Shirley, and on the other side was Caroline. He felt himself being pulled in two directions by the women.

He did not enjoy the feeling at all.

He thought. “Am I going to become the kind of person I hate?”

Just then, his phone beeped. Shirley had sent him a text message. [Honey. I received the Imperial Star n*ecklace. I love it so much!]

Nathan thought of Shirley’s gentle voice as she lay in his arms last night. When he recalled how sweetly she had uttered “honey,” he felt his tightly knitted brows relax.

Shirley y was his wife. Hence, he was going to stay away from Caroline in the future.

If that Caroline dared to seduce him again, he would not let her off.

Nathan responded, [Glad you like it.]

Shirley sent another message. [Honey, I have good news. My period has ended.]

The last sentence was very implicit.

Smiling, Nathan wrote: [I’m looking forward to it.]

The next day, Nathan happened to meet Caroline when he went downstairs. The latter carried a small backpack and was about to head to Talia University.

After what had happened the night before, Caroline pretended not to see him and walked straight past him.

Their relationship had reached a new low, and they were now like strangers.

Naturally, Nathan, too, behaved coldly. He grabbed his car key and left.

“Uncle Nathan!” Yulian called as she chased after him. “What happened with Carol last night? It was all my fault! I was the one who secretly took photos of you. Carol didn’t encourage me. She didn’t know anything at all!”

Nathan’s expression was full of distrust as he drove away.

As the luxury car drove to the street, Nathan caught sight of Caroline’s slender figure through the windows. She stood at the bus stop waiting for the bus.

Nathan accelerated and sped away.

Soon, the girl disappeared from his sight.

Meanwhile, Caroline received a call from Shirley. Shirley laughed, saying, “Caroline, you can continue to accompany my husband tonight. By the way. I told him that my period had ended. Don’t blow my cover!”

Caroline’s eyes gleamed as she sneered, “Okay, you can look forward to it tonight.”

Then, she hung up the phone directly.

Nathan immediately drove back to the Faraday manor when he got off work.

“Nat, you’re back so early tonight.” Yuna greeted him.

Nathan looked around and did not spot the person he had hoped to see. “Mom, where’s Shelley?”

“Shelley? Isn’t she still at her parent’s home? She hasn’t come back at all.”

“She’s not back? She sent me such a message last night, so I thought she’d be back by now,” Nathan thought.

He could not fall asleep without her fragrance.

In fact, he was unable to sleep last night.
