Natalie Wheeler was lost in thought for a moment.
She wasn’t 18, so she knew what he meant. He wasn’t asking her to accompany him just to chit chat under the blankets.
She lowered her head, and her hands under the table were twisted together.
She was not willing to…
Allen looked at her gentle appearance. Her long eyelashes left a silhouette under her eyes, which was refined and lovely.
He approached her slowly. His lips fell on her eyes, and it slowly fell upon her lips.
“Fancy seeing you two here,” Jasper’s cold voice rang all of a sudden.
Natalie retreated instinctively and raised her head. Her eyes met Jasper’s particularly dark ones.
His eyebrows were slightly knitted. Obviously, he was unhappy, but the corners of his mouth were curled up stiffly.
“Mr. Milton, are you living in this hotel as well?” Allen asked politely.
“Yes, it’s more convenient. I shall not disturb you two any further,” Jasper walked past them and went to sit down in a place far away from them.
Natalie was feeling a little uneasy as she tapped the table with her fingers.
Allen chuckled.
Natalie looked at him in surprise, “What are you laughing at?”
“You’re very special. You look as tough as leather, but you’re actually very shy,” Allen said softly.
“Allen,” Natalie called. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
“If it’s not convenient for you, then you don’t have to stay. It’s okay,” Allen said gently, as if he could see her reluctance.
“Well, when it comes to intimacy, we are a little more conservative. Of course, it still depends on different people…” Natalie paused.
“I won’t force you,” Allen promised with a smile.
There was a flash of dazzling light in Natalie’s eyes.
Allen was such a good person. He was an elegant gentleman. Not only was his identity and background outstanding, but his appearance and even his character were impeccable.
Natalie felt that she would not get tired of him even if they were to get along with each other for a long time.
But the better he was, the more stressed she felt.
The purpose of her getting along with him was not simple. Perhaps she was just using him as her anchor, hoping that he could save her when the situation calls for it.
“I’m sorry,” Natalie apologized.
“It’s okay. It’s my fault, I was too impatient. You have your concerns. Perhaps, I’m not good enough. I hope you could give me some time to prove that I’m suitable for you,” Allen held Natalie’s hand.
“I’m sorry,” Natalie said again.
Allen lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying softly, “Don’t ever say sorry to me. I do what I do for you because I want to. Do you want to go to my place and sit for a while instead?”
“Okay,” Natalie answered immediately.
“Waiter, the bill please,” Allen took out his wallet.
The waiter came forward and said respectfully, “Sir, the guest of that table has already paid the bill for you.”
Allen looked towards Jasper. He was proud and arrogant, his back facing against them.
Allen took out 200 dollars from his wallet and put them on the table, “Please say thank you to that man. I’ll pay the bill myself.”
Allen took Natalie’s hand and left the restaurant together.
Jasper turned to look at them. His grip on the wine glass was too hard. With a snap, the glass shattered into pieces, and the fragments pierced into his palm. His blood was mixed with red wine and it flowed out of his palm.
He got up and strode toward the entrance.
“Sir, the guest over there said that he would pay his own bill,” the waiter explained.
“I will just pay the bill for my woman and myself,” Jasper said without looking at the waiter.
Natalie and Allen were waiting in front of the elevator.
Jasper stood behind her. She didn’t even need to turn to look to know that he was approaching them. She straightened her back and held her breath.
Allen also saw Jasper and he greeted him with a smile, “Mr. Milton, are you already done with your dinner? That’s pretty quick.”
“There was an accident,” Jasper replied coldly and looked at Natalie with even colder eyes. He said, “Miss Wheeler, you have some medical skills, right? I remembered that you even dared to operate on a person whose artery was already severed.”
“Uh, I’ve learned a bit of it casually, but I’m not good at it,” Natalie replied politely.
“Could you please help me bandage up my hand?” Jasper said in a strange tone.
Natalie looked at his hand and found that his blood was still dripping. Her heart tightened and she lowered her head, “Yes, I can. However, I don’t have any gauze or anti-inflammatory drugs. There is a pharmacy nearby. It would be better for you to head over to the pharmacy and bandage it up.”
“It’s fine if you aren’t willing to help me,” Jasper said coldly. It was obvious that he was displeased.
His displeasure weighed heavily on her heart, making Natalie feel uncomfortable.
The elevator doors opened with a ‘Ding’.
Jasper walked past them and went into the elevator.
Natalie sighed uneasily. She couldn’t just stand aside and do nothing and ignore the fact he had gotten injured.
“I really don’t have gauze or anti-inflammatory drugs with me,” Natalie said again.
“Allen, I don’t want to go to the pharmacy and the hospital. Could you buy me some gauze and anti-inflammatory drugs?” Jasper asked Allen coldly.
Allen smiled and said, “Well, which room are you in? I’ll buy and send them to you.”
“My room number is 1109. Thank you.”
Allen looked at Natalie and said, “You should go to room 1109 first then. I’ll be back in a few minutes.”
Natalie nodded.
She followed Jasper to room 1109 while Allen went downstairs to buy the gauze and the necessary supplies.
Jasper opened the room and motioned Natalie to enter first.
Natalie figured that he would not do anything to her, but Jasper was acting strangely at that moment. She thought that it was rather strange.
She walked in, and Jasper followed her into the room and closed the door behind him.
With a bang, Natalie straightened her back stiffly and said formally, “I’ll treat your wound first.”
Jasper sat on the sofa and looked at her.
Natalie stood in the same place. She felt that Jasper was being really strange now.
“Didn’t you come here to treat my wound? Why are you standing there?” Jasper said in a low voice.
Natalie took a napkin and walked over to him. She held Jasper’s injured right hand and wiped the blood on it. She saw that there were wounds all around his palm. One of the wounds was so deep that she could see his flesh.
“How did you hurt yourself?” Natalie looked at Jasper in surprise.
He was looking at her deeply, “I remember you said that you have just broken up with your boyfriend not long ago. To mend your broken heart, you even left the city which you were previously at. In that case, it is safe for me to assume that you were deeply in love with your ex-boyfriend, am I right? How could you have sex with another man so soon after?”
Natalie heard the sarcasm in Jasper’s words. Her face darkened and she said rudely, “That is my business. It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Milton.”
“Of course it has something to do with me. You will be taking care of my children in the future. A crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. If you have this kind of lifestyle, I’m afraid that my children will end up learning all these bad habits from you,” Jasper said with a straight face.
“In that case, perhaps it would be better not to hire me to be your children’s tutor then,” Natalie said, her eyes brimming red.
Jasper got up swiftly. He moved towards her and pressed her down on the sofa across him. Her body was close to his, without any space in between them.
He looked at her from above, “You want to sleep with him or me? Think about it clearly before you answer!”
