Chapter 71 Shouldn’t I Be G**d to You?

When she realized that she had done a stupid thing, Natalie retracted her hand awkwardly. However, John grabbed her hand. “What’s wrong?”

‘Nothing. You just don’t seem to be acting normal, so I wanted to see if you’ve burnt your brain.’

However, she did not have the guts to say that. After hesitating, she said softly, “I’ll misunderstand if you do that.”

“Misunderstand what?”

“Misunderstand that you’re good to me.”

Was this a misunderstanding?

He thought he was being clear with his actions. However, it was obvious that this woman’s brain was different from other women’s. Since she was unsure, then he would just be more direct with her. “You’re my wife. Shouldn’t I be good to you?”

Wife…

That heartbreaking word caused Natalie to be on high alert. She became serious. “Master John, I’m being serious.”

“Me too.”

“Don’t you hate me?”

He could not argue with her. Or rather, even if he did not hate her as much as before, John could not honestly tell her how he felt about her.

Looking at this woman’s mature yet innocent eyes, he moved his thin lips to say coldly, “Even if I hate my woman, I can be the only person who bullies you. I won’t allow other people to touch you.”

“...”

His good intentions toward her were only because he was treating her as his object. If she was bullied by other people, it would mean that they were disrespecting him. There was no other meaning behind his actions.

To be honest, this was normal.

For some reason, even though she thought that this was the most normal thing for him to do, she still felt disappointed and annoyed.

Was she expecting something from him?

When she thought about this, Natalie shook her head to get rid of this thought. At the same time, she hid her head under the blanket.

‘Whatever. Stop thinking about this. Just go to bed. Go to sleep.’

…

This was not the first time she stayed in the same room or the same bed as him.

Even though they had done a lot of intimate things, she wanted very badly for him to disappear for a while. She kept feeling like her emotions were out of control. She kept feeling like she would cry more easily with him around.

When they were talking about other things, she could focus her attention on something else. When everything quietened down, however, Natalie could feel her emotions fluctuating greatly.

Even though she had cried in front of him before, but tonight, she did not know whether it was because he had held her so tightly in the hospital…

When one wanted to cry, they could still hold it in when they were alone. However, when there was someone around or when someone asked them about it, they would feel extremely aggrieved.

How could she ask him to go out and leave her alone, though? This was his house and his bed.

She was right next to him, and yet, she could not let him sense that there was something off with her. She turned her body and had her back against him.

However, after she did that, her tears started rolling down her cheeks like a string of pearls with a broken string.

She did not dare to let him find out. She covered her mouth with her hands, but still, her trembling shoulders exposed her emotions.

When she felt a warm chest pressing up against her back and a pair of arms holding her tightly, her tears escaped her eyes like water from a broken dam.

“Just cry if you want to. I won’t laugh at you.”

“...”

It was such a rare consolation. Even though his tone was not the best, it still comforted Natalie a great deal.

However, her heart started trembling uncontrollably after this damned tenderness came out from his mouth.

She did not want to show her weakness, especially in front of him. However, she could not stop the bitterness in her heart. The painful grievance she felt was coming at her wave after wave.

She covered her mouth and sobbed uncontrollably in silence.

This was the first time he saw her crying while nursing a grievance in his arms.

This woman was tough. She would not usually show her weakness in front of him no matter how aggrieved she felt. However, at this moment, she was like a normal girl. She was curled up in a ball in his arms while crying until her entire body was trembling.

The silent grievance came from her thin shoulders. Her slightly trembling body was affecting him. Even his heartbeat was starting to beat in sync with hers.

His arms circled her tighter. It was as if he wanted to use his warmth to warm up her heart.

At that moment, he forgot how much he hated her. He only felt that he did not want to see her this way. He did not want anyone else to make her cry like this.

He was thinking about this when he turned her around with his arms that were holding her.

She did not want him to see her crying face, so Natalie lowered her head. However, she looked as if she was burying her head into his chest with that action.

That action was nothing much. However, at that time, the two of them were sleeping in the same bed while holding onto each other. Amid their movements, John’s body started reacting in a blink of an eye.

He inhaled sharply, and his eyes became dark

Before tucking her in earlier, he had told himself that she was in a bad mood, so he would not do anything to her. However, now…

No, it was this woman’s fault that he was reacting this way. She was rubbing against him!

This was not his fault.

When he thought about this, his hands that were on her shoulders started to travel downward following her arms.

At the same time, Natalie was awakened.

She lifted her head abruptly and looked at his eyes that were shining like a hungry wolf in the dark. She pushed him away while her face became red. Then, she covered her body with the blanket. She even covered her head and toes in exaggeration.

“You said that you won’t do it...”

“...”

He could not deny that he had said that mere moments ago.

However, was there not a saying that went something along the lines of ‘whatever a man says in bed is unaccountable’?

Looking at the actions of this woman in front of him, a smirk escaped John’s lips.

Say, was this woman underestimating him? She was on her period, and she was guarding against him like she was guarding against a thief.

If he was the animal she imagined him to be, he would be able to peel not just the blanket but also a layer of iron away from her body.

However, she did not know the person with the real problem was him and not her.

After all, she had just finished crying. Her face was ugly, and she did not look good at all. The pajamas that she had on were the most conservative ones she could find. Even though she was a woman, there was nothing attractive about her.

However, even if she was unattractive and even if she was lying in his arms in this kind of pajamas, his manhood was already feeling restless.
