In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1834

Chapter 1834 Push Him Into The Line Of Fire

The weather was exceptionally good that day. The sun shone brightly, chasing the cold away. I sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, basking in the sun. Out of the blue, Nathaniel appeared at the bedroom door.

The instant I spotted him, the peace that had suffused me crumbled into nothingness, and my expression darkened in a flash.

He walked over to me, his steps were slow and unsteady. Every single step he took probably tugged at his wound, for his brows creased slightly.

“I’m back,” he announced.

He stood half a meter away from me, and his voice was calm and indifferent.

“You’ve never visited me once during the whole two weeks.” He gave a bark of self-derisive laughter.

So, he’s here to reprimand me?

I had nothing to say to him; hence, I stood up and headed out the door.

Nathaniel reached out and grabbed my arms, a hint of weariness staining his eyes. “Do you really detest seeing me that much?”

Slap! I swung my hand and struck him across the face.

Stunned, Nathaniel froze for a long moment. A flash of murder flitted across his face, but he promptly suppressed it and coaxed me patiently, “Okay, you’ve vented your anger, so please stop throwing a tantrum.”

Slap! I slapped him in the same spot but even harder this time.

In the next instant, I snapped and lost all control. I struck him across the face again and again with both hands.

Swaying slightly, Nathaniel tried to stop me. “All right, that’s enough, Scarlett. Don’t challenge my bottom line.”
