Chapter 216

Brian glanced up, his gaze landing on her with a soft murmur, “Awake?”

Natalie, groggy with sleep, her limbs heavy and sore, slumped in the chair and met his eyes briefly without a word.

Brian squatted before her, slipping off her shoes and tossing them aside, his fingers leisurely unbuttoning her shirt.

“What the hell are you doing?” Natalie couldn't help but frown in irritation.

“What am I doing?” Brian chuckled, retorting, “Didn't you say you wanted to sleep? What's wrong with bringing you to a hotel?”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Natalie was speechless.

After conquering her battle with shyness, Natalie was sharp—tongued and quick—

witted in the company of others, never losing an argument. But faced with Brians biting wit, she often felt outmatched.

She couldn't help but sigh. “Can you just let me go?”

“What do you think?” Brian's eyes crinkled with challenge.

No matter how old Natalie got, she was the little mute who never grew: : iup in Brian's eyes, pH bumbling b, ind RinandRe ing him to clean up her messes. During her bouts of shyness, she only wanted him, worshipping him as if he were her everything.

So, even as she grew up, he wouldn't allow her to change. He couldn't accept her looking at other men.

Brian got to his feet and swept her up into his arms.

“Let me go!” Natalie's voice spiked with a sudden surge of defiance, feeling her dignity trampled once more.
