Chapter 182 Give in to His Wife
Natalie said the words to ease the tension between the two of them.
However, Kendrick wore a solemn look on his expressionless face without smiling.
Natalie's tense nerves suddenly reached the breaking point.
She instantly shuddered and felt that something heavy was covering her. She sat up and took a deep breath.
Kendrick also sat up quickly.
His lumbar vertebra recovered well recently, and it was much easier for him to straighten up than before.
Of course, Natalie didn't notice that.
She turned away and glanced at him with difficulty, getting out of bed.
Before she moved, Kendrick gripped her wrist.
"Where are you going?"
Looking at his handsome but cold face, Natalie lost control of her emotions. "You've gone too far."
Kendrick didn't seem to know that he had made a mistake.
Natalie clenched her fists, and the yellow light shone on her head. At this moment, she felt aggrieved. "You knew what I cared about the most, but you used it to threaten me and forced me to listen to you."
She had her weakness.
But he couldn't attack her with that.
Natalie didn't lose her temper out of good upbringing and politeness when they were with Ashlynn in the dining room downstairs, nor did she want an outsider to see the disputes and clashes between them.
"You treat me with the same method that you use on the others." Natalie gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice, "Indeed, you play your cards well. You know everyone's weakness, and the people around you are in awe of you, but I'm different from them. Our relationship is not built on money or employment."
"It was wrong to keep it from you." She ran her fingers through her hair, her eyes turning red, but she tried to control her emotions and spoke her mind. "You thought I didn't care about you because you were not the first to know about it. Your anger was justifiable, but you couldn't threaten me, Kendrick."
She looked up at him with misty eyes. "You frightened me."
In this world.
They were not equal.
He had a much higher social status than her with his wealth and power. Being the son of the Ramsey family might be only the tip of the iceberg.
But she was only an unloved daughter, who married him to bring good luck to the family.
She knew she offended him this time.
Although he didn't punish her for the time being, he threatened her directly and indirectly that the people she cared about wouldn't be spared if anything happened to her.
He was ruthless.
And she felt a great pressure on her.
Kendrick didn't interrupt her and listened to her quietly.
Up to now, they had hardly any contradictions and talked to each other frankly.
He cared about her so much that he lost his composure and took the hardball approach.
He frowned slightly, feeling confused and uncertain.
Love was indeed a myth to him.
"I... didn't." He denied it and gave in, holding her waist and pulling her into his arms. "I wanted you to have a good rest."
"You did." Natalie didn't give in and pushed him away, complaining, "You told me that you would make things difficult for the people around me if I didn't listen to you."
Kendrick was lost for words.
Well, that was his idea.
But he didn't implement it yet.
He would have resorted to various methods and gotten his way if it had been someone else.
But it was Natalie this time...
He didn't know what to do.
"You can't do this to me." Natalie shook her head. Her eyes were very red, and her voice was extremely hoarse.
