His room was as simple as usual. There was a bed, two bedside tables, a TV, a hidden wardrobe, and a flower rack beside the window. There was a pot of orchids on the rack, which were elegant and fragrant.
Jasper Milton opened the door of the bathroom, with only a bath towel around his waist. He walked out and looked at her coldly, “Do you want me to take off your clothes for you, or you want to do it yourself?”
“I’ll do it myself,” Natalie Wheeler lowered her head, took off her coat and shirt.
She was much skinnier than before. It seemed that she weighed even lesser than 45kg now.
“If you keep getting skinnier, you will feel like a skeleton when I touch you,” he said coldly. He wrapped his arms around her waist, turned around, pressed her against the bed, and looked at her.
Natalie lowered her eyes and did not look at him.
Jasper gritted her teeth, “This really isn’t fun.”
Jasper sat on the bed.
Feeling a little cold, Natalie wrapped herself in the coat and looked at him, puzzled.
Jasper lit a cigarette and leaned against the bed. He puffed out a thick cloud of smoke at Natalie’s face.
She choked, turning her face away.
Jasper approached her and lifted her chin towards him, “I need to be aroused before we could do anything. How am I going to get turned on if you behave like this?”
Natalie pushed his hand away and said, “You could take pills.”
“Do you think the child will be fine if I consume the pills? Or do you not care whether the child will be born an idiot at all?” Jasper said sarcastically.
Natalie frowned, “Could you talk nicely? Do you feel better whenever you speak rudely to me?”
“Could you do your part properly then? If you don’t do your part well, don’t even think about getting special treatment, yeah? I thought you were a psychologist before,” Jasper retorted coldly.
Natalie was speechless and Jasper also did not speak.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
She looked at him and said softly, “Aren’t we doing this for Dante?”
“Of course, otherwise, why would I want you? However, there are some reactions that can never be forced. You already have a child, so you should understand,” Jasper retorted.
Natalie knew his hint, so she threw herself on him, lowered her head, and kissed his lips.
Jasper did not respond and merely looked at her coldly.
Natalie was a little anxious and she put her hand under his bath towel.
Jasper held her hand.
Natalie looked at him, embarrassed when she saw his deep eyes.
Was he trying to conceive a baby with her, or was he just trying to humiliate her?
Jasper looked into her eyes, which were as bright as rosy clouds. He put out the cigarette butt and wrapped his arms around her waist. Then, he held the back of her head and kissed her lips.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief and went all the way with him.
As it was a little too sudden, she clenched her fists in pain and frowned.
Jasper looked at her indifferently and there was no trace of desire in his eyes.
She didn’t dare to look him in the eye, so she looked at his abdomen instead. She didn’t know whether it was because of the rhythmic movement or her illness, but she could feel herself sweating profusely…
After they both climaxed, she was so tired that she didn’t want to move at all.
Jasper got up coldly and walked to the bathroom without looking at her, “Put on your clothes and I’ll ask someone to send you back. I’ll pick you up at this time tomorrow.”
Natalie answered, “Okay.”
She glanced at the time when she was in Elvis’ car. It was already 12 a. m. It would take an hour and a half from Jasper’s to hers. She sat in the car, deep in thought.
Elvis Zachary glanced at her again and again. It looked as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped after a second thought.
“Yes?” Natalie asked doubtfully.
“I think that Director Milton treats you differently. When he didn’t receive your news, he was in a bad mood and couldn’t even work. After knowing that you are willing to come, I could see that he was obviously in a much better mood, and his emotions were much calmer,” Elvis said with a smile.
“That’s because he is worried about Dante,” Natalie explained. She was comforting herself with those words too.
“Dante? Why?” Elvis asked in confusion.
Natalie guessed that Elvis didn’t know about her real relationship with Jasper, so she didn’t bother to explain. She just smiled and remained quiet, looking out of the window.
It was very dark outside, and the light from the street lamps was dim. All she could see was darkness.
She thought of closing her eyes to take a short nap, but she fell asleep accidentally.
When she woke up, the smell of disinfectants wafted through the air and into her nostrils. She opened her eyes in surprise and found Elvis standing in front of the bed.
“You have finally woken up,” Elvis smiled.
“Did I sleep for a long time?” Natalie was about to get up.
“My dear, you should just lie down and rest. You had a fever yesterday, didn’t you know that?” Elvis held her down.
She guessed that she had a fever but she kept chugging warm water to lower her temperature. She didn’t want to take medicine, fearing that it would affect her child if she happened to get pregnant.
“I may have caught a cold when I was enjoying the sea breeze. What time is it now? Where’s my bag?” Natalie asked.
“Your bag is in the cabinet. Don’t worry. Director Milton told you to rest in the ward until you’re fully recovered. He was here last night and he had assigned two nurses to take care of you. I knew that Director Milton cares about you very much. I have never seen him treat any woman so well. Although, you really are very pretty,” Elvis said with a smile, scratching his head.
Natalie lowered her eyes.
Was Jasper here?
“Please help me thank him. I will try my best to get better as soon as possible,” Natalie promised. “I don’t need to be hospitalized anymore. I still have to feed my dog.”
“I don’t think you should do that. If Director Milton knows that you have been discharged from the hospital without permission, he would definitely be angry.”
“I know what I’m doing.” Seeing that Elvis was in a dilemma, Natalie took out her bag from the closet and called Jasper.
Jasper declined the call.
“Are you calling Director Milton? He should be in a meeting now. You could send a message to him and he should reply after the meeting,” Elvis reminded her.
Natalie wrote a text message to Jasper. Before she was done typing the text, Jasper had already called.
“What’s the matter?” he asked coldly.
“Well, I just have a cold and a fever. I don’t need to be hospitalized. I’ll take the drip back home and do it myself. It’s the same.”
“If you knew how to take care of yourself, then you wouldn’t have fainted from your fever. If it weren’t for Dante, I wouldn’t even care whether you are alive or dead. Just stay in the hospital for now. I’ve already taken your dog back, so don’t worry. I’ll hang up the phone if there’s nothing else. I’m in a meeting,” Jasper said coldly. He didn’t give her a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.
“God, Director Milton actually paused the meeting and called you. I think that Director Milton is in love with you. He is a workaholic, I had never seen him like this before,” Elvis was surprised.
Natalie couldn’t be bothered to explain. At this moment, her cell phone rang again. She saw that it was from Allen, so she didn’t answer it immediately. She said to Elvis, “I am hungry.”
“Oh, I’ll buy some food for you then,” Elvis said cleverly.
Natalie didn’t answer the call until Elvis left.
“Natalie, something just happened,” Allen said in a low voice.
