Secrets Of The Sullivan Sisters

Chapter 8

Caroline’s palm-sized face had an air of distant beauty about it, and her skin was as fair as porcelain.

With a pair of alluring eyes, Caroline was so beautiful that she looked as though she was glowing.

In truth, the scar on her face was fake.

Caroline walked outside and came to the master bedroom.

She was going to sleep with Nathan. She had thought that they would never meet after that night, but

she was, yet again, forced to act like she was Shirley and sleep next to him.

When thoughts of his towering figure and the cold warning words directed at her flooded her mind,

Caroline could only take a deep breath and walk into the room

Nathan was already lying on the bed, so Caroline carefully climbed onto the bed and slept on the other

side, far away from him.

Nathan was not in a good mood. “Is this because of that little housekeeper?” he thought. “Her eyes

were pure, bright, and calm, making her look innocent, yet she managed to write such a bold love letter

to seduce Jacob.”

Nathan cast his thoughts about the housekeeper aside and opened his eyes to look at the slender

figure lying beside him.

She was sleeping on the edge of the bed and was about to fall off.

“Why are you sleeping so far away?” he questioned sharply. “Come over here!”

Caroline moved closer to him, and Nathan caught the pleasant fragrance again.

The fragrance seemed to be a combination of different flowers, and the scent of it was extremely RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

alluring.

“Sleep in my arms,” he ordered in a low voice.

“Sleep in his arms?” Caroline’s lashes fluttered as she mused, “I don’t want to, but I’m supposed to be

Shirley right now. If I refuse to sleep in his arms, he would definitely be suspicious.”

At that thought, Caroline moved closer, turned around, and rolled stiffly into his

arms.

Nathan stretched out his arms and wrapped them around her delicate shoulders.

before burying his handsome face in her hair and taking in her alluring scent. “She smells wonderful,”

he thought.

The fragrance fascinated him.

“You still haven’t told me what perfume you used.”

“I don’t use any perfume.”

“Are you saying that… this is your natural scent?” he murmured with amusement, and his warm breath

caressed her cheek.

Caroline blushed. “That’s not what I meant, Mr. Faraday.”

“Mr. Faraday?” Nathan quickly reached out and pinched her delicate chin, forcing her to raise her head.

“Why are you calling me Mr. Faraday?”

To his knowledge, only Caroline would call him Mr. Faraday.

Caroline’s heart ski pped a beat. She was so nervous that she forgot to change the way she addressed

Nathan.

Nathan studied her suspiciously as she hastily explained, “I… It’s the first time I’m sleeping next to you.

I’m just nervous.”

Nathan observed her face. He had always known that Shirley was beautiful, but at this very moment,

she seemed exceptionally beautiful.

The porcelain-like skin on her face was so fair that even the vellus hair on her face. looked soft and

transparent. He studied her so intently that her red lips, long black hair, and clear, bright eyes, were

reflected in his eyes.

In comparison to how she looked at the moment, Shirley appeared rather tacky during the day.

Nathan didn’t know that he was not looking at Shirley at all, and this was the difference between

authentic beauty and its cheap copy.

He curled his lips and rubbed the delicate skin on the woman’s jaw with his faintly calloused fingers.

“Why are you so timid all of a sudden? You seemed bold when you were crawling all over me.”

“I was drugged by Mrs. Faraday at the time…” Caroline explained helplessly.

Nathan looked at her and said, “How are you supposed to address me, then?”

Wed, 31 Jan 10

Caroline couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable when she recalled the moments when Shirley flirtatiously

addressed Nathan as “Honey.” She wanted to run, but the man was pinching her chin, and his

dominating aura left her unable to escape.

“Honey,” she muttered hastily and buried her face into his chest.

Caroline wondered how Nathan would react if he ever found out that it was her whom he held in his

arms and how he had ordered her to call him “Honey.”

Nathan raised his brows. He didn’t want to tease her, but she was so shy at night, and her deer-in-the-

headlights demeanor made his heart race.

He swallowed hard at the sound of her sweet, endearing voice when she called. him, “Honey.”
