Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Feels Nice

After Cara Preston finished, afraid Vera Xavier would object, she added pitifully, "I know you’ve had some misunderstandings about me, sis, but we’re sisters. Family doesn’t hold grudges overnight. You’ve always doted on me the most, so I’m sure you won’t turn me down this time."

Vera Xavier figured if Cara Preston ever got into acting, she’d be a shoo-in for an Oscar!

But she was no fool. Her whole intention today was to get under Cara Preston’s skin. So, she said with a beaming smile, "You couldn’t even solve that simple physics problem last time. It’s best you don’t go bothering Young Master Nathan, lest he say again how you single-handedly drag down our entire family’s IQ."

Cara Preston: "!!!!!!!!"

Vera Xavier added, "Honestly, I was a little angry with you before, but you were right about one thing. Family doesn’t hold grudges overnight, so I won’t hold this against you. If you have any questions you don’t understand, feel free to ask me anytime."

Cara Preston’s expression soured. Vera Xavier reached out, patted her shoulder, and said, "See? I’m nice to you, aren’t I!"

Cara Preston wanted to tear her to shreds and nearly choked on her own rage. ’Why does this whole routine feel so familiar?’ She forced a smile. "You’re the best, sis!"

Vera Xavier went upstairs with a smile. Though she’d told Cara Preston to come to her with anything she didn’t understand, she knew perfectly well that Cara Preston would never actually do it. That was because Cara Preston hated her to the bone and couldn’t even stand the sight of her!

What a coincidence—she felt the exact same way about Cara Preston.

Only after Vera Xavier had gone upstairs did Cara Preston realize that the playbook Vera had just used was one of her own usual tricks! She was so frustrated at being played with her own game that she could have coughed up blood!

Back in her room, Vera Xavier began to study. The college entrance exams were drawing closer, and she needed to redouble her efforts!

However, she had barely opened her book when a familiar sound came from the small window. She froze for a moment, then hurried to open it. Sure enough, Nathaniel Nathan was outside.

Vera Xavier was rendered speechless at the sight of him. ’This guy seems to have gotten addicted to climbing through my window!’

"What are you doing here again?" Vera Xavier asked.

Nathaniel Nathan’s face immediately fell. "What do you mean, ’here again’? You didn’t want me to come?"

Vera Xavier’s mind raced. "Of course I wanted you to come! I’m just worried about you always climbing the wall. I’m afraid it’s too much work, and that you might get hurt."

Her words made his expression soften considerably. He said disdainfully, "You think this flimsy wall could hurt me? Vera Xavier, you have too little faith in me. You deserve a spanking for that!"

As soon as he said it, he actually reached out and swatted her on the butt. Caught completely off guard, she first froze, then her face flushed red as she realized what had happened!

’Damn it, he actually did it! And where does he think he’s putting his hands?!’

Nathaniel Nathan found her blushing face adorable. He recalled the sensation from the swat just now—it was full, pert, and springy. It felt unbelievably good.

So, he reached out and gave her butt another squeeze, praising it outright, "Feels nice."

Vera Xavier was livid. ’It was bad enough that this guy swatted me, but now he’s squeezing me too? Does he really think I’m afraid of him?’

She gave a light huff and reached out to squeeze his butt in return. He froze for a second, his gaze turning deep as he stared at her. She felt a bit uncomfortable under his stare but said stubbornly, "I learned it from you. Wherever someone touches me, I touch them right back!"

The corner of Nathaniel Nathan’s mouth curled into a slight smirk. When Vera Xavier saw it, she couldn’t help but feel that it was the wicked grin of someone whose plan had just succeeded.
