Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Inspecting the Goods
Nathaniel Nathan beckoned to Vera Xavier. She glanced at him, bit her lip again, and then slowly walked over to his side. He stared into her eyes for a long moment but was stunned to see nothing out of the ordinary.
Her eyes were dark and bright, shimmering with a dazzling light as they moved.
Seeing him study her eyes so intently, Vera Xavier felt a little apprehensive.
She never expected him to ask, "You saw the color of my underwear, but did you see my size?"
Vera Xavier: "..."
âYoung Master Nathan, isnât that question a little too direct?â
Vera Xavier turned her head away, refusing to answer. At the same time, she wanted to slap herself. Of all the things to use as an analogy, why did she have to pick that? Pathetically, her face turned red again.
Seeing her reaction, Nathaniel Nathan laughed. He figured she had most likely seen it. So he pulled her hand and placed it on his abdomen. "Seeing with your eyes doesnât count. You need to inspect the goods first."
Vera Xavierâs face instantly flushed red to the tips of her ears, and her mind went blank with a buzzing sound.
âShe had imagined a thousand different reactions from him, but never this one!â
âHow... how could he be such a pervert with a straight face!â
She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it fast. He was much stronger than her; she couldnât break free at all.
She was both ashamed and angry, filled with other emotions she couldnât quite name. She was completely at a loss.
Vera Xavier bit her lip and cursed under her breath, "Pervert, let go!"
Nathaniel Nathan watched her with a half-smile, saying nothing. He just stared at her, his gaze as deep as an abyss. Something flickered within it, seeming capable of searing her heart.
Held and watched by him like this, Vera Xavier felt her heartbeat spin out of control. Any longer and she feared it would leap out of her chest. Mustering her courage, she threatened him, "If you donât let go, Iâll..."
"Youâve already peeked at me so many times. Whatâs there to be shy about?" Nathaniel Nathan interrupted.
Vera Xavier: "..."
âYoung Master Nathan, seeing and touching are two completely different things, okay? Besides, I never peeked! Of course, the times I accidentally saw donât count!â
He reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her closer against him. She could feel the scorching heat of his body.
In a fluster, Vera Xavier snatched her hand back. But she used too much force, and her hand brushed against his most sensitive spot. He subconsciously sucked in a sharp breath. His arm tightened, pulling her fully into his embrace, and then his lips were on hers.
Vera Xavier wanted to cry but had no tears. âWe were just discussing such a serious topic, how did the mood change so drastically?!â
His kiss wasnât deep. He gave her a light peck and pulled away, only to lean in and whisper in her ear, "Have you looked at any other men?"
Vera Xavier could already sense his overwhelming jealousy about to erupt, so she immediately swore to the heavens, "Absolutely not!"
In a slightly hoarse voice, Nathaniel Nathan asked by her ear, "When did you start peeking at me? Hmm?"
Vera Xavier felt she had no idea how to answer his question. She knew that given his rotten nature, he would find fault with any answer she gave. It was better to say nothing at all.
Nathaniel Nathan looked at her delicate little face, which was now flushed an adorable shade of red. She probably had no idea that, looking like this, she could make any man in the world willing to give her everything.
His hand slipped under her shirt, gliding up the smooth skin of her waist.
