Chapter 1805 Admit To It
Before I could react, something seemed to occur to Nathaniel. He whipped his head around to look at me and squeezed my cheeks, forcing me to open my mouth.
At the sight of the blood on my tongue, he bristled. “I knew it! You tried to end yourself!”
I belatedly recalled the gunshot on my left shoulder. It happened when he forced me into a corner.
The ugly scar reminded him that the woman he was infatuated with would take her own life if she were forced into a corner.
I was inwardly pleased. After all, I could use my life to threaten him.
Nathaniel knew why I had a smile hanging on my lips, but his hands were tied. In the end, he released his grip on me and stood up. Walking away, he buttoned his shirt again.
I coughed and regained my composure. “Are you finally admitting that you can’t bring yourself to harm me?” I didn’t forget to tease him.
“Perhaps you’re right. But from today onward, you’ll have to stay here.” Nathaniel was cool and collected as usual.
“Why? Trying the familiarity breeds fondness trick?” I retorted.
After fastening the last button, Nathaniel turned to shoot me an exasperated look. In the end, he chose not to say anything. Picking up the suit jacket on the ground, he strode upstairs.
I made sure his footsteps had faded away before my smile slipped. Scrambling to my feet, I studied the house closely.
The house was minimalistic and simple. There was a sofa, a ceiling light above it, a coffee table, and a dining table about half a meter long. The open kitchen had a grey and white color scheme. It seemed like there were only the both of us here.
Is this Nathaniel’s den? Hmm, it doesn’t look like it.
