Chapter 436 Don’t Overthink It
Nathaniel spoke with ease. Janet decided to stop playing coy and boldly put down the quilt, giving Nathaniel an unobstructed view.
“It looks… not as good as it feels to the touch. I’d say it’s a 7 out of 10.”
Nathaniel approached with the glass of water. He placed one hand on the headboard and brought the rim of the glass close to Janet’s lips. His voice was hoarse and lazy from sleep.
“Really? I think you might not have been fully conscious last night and missed some spots. Want to try again?”
Janet stared at the well–defined abdominal muscles inches from her face. A blush
up to her ears, and her throat felt dry.

She coughed lightly, looked away, snatched the glass, and downed its contents in one
Nathaniel didn’t miss Janet’s shyness. He walked over to the sofa with a faint smile to grab a change of clothes.
Janet’s cheerful voice sounded from behind him.
“What’s done is done. Neither of us got the short end of the stick, so let’s call it even.”
Nathaniel spun around abruptly, his smile gone. “What do you mean?”
Janet shrugged, lifted the quilt, and got out of bed.
“What else could I mean? We’re both adults here. You should know it was just a one–night stand. Don’t overthink it.”
Nathaniel approached, blocking Janet’s path. He stared at her with downcast eyes.
“What if I want to overthink it?”
Janet looked back at Nathaniel. The affection in his eyes seemed somewhat sincere, and
it made her hesitate.
But soon, Janet adjusted her expression and put on hypocritical politeness.
“Since you care so much about it, I don’t want to waste your emotional and physical strength. Name a price.”
Nathaniel ground his teeth and sneered, “What did you say?”
Janet was unaware of his displeasure. She found her mobile phone by the bed, opened PayPal, and typed a string of numbers.
“How about this?” She shook her phone. “This is already double the market price.”
Janet looked Nathaniel up and down. “Given your look and figure, I don’t feel bad about spending the money.”
Nathaniel’s face turned even darker. “It seems that you know the market well.”
Janet exaggeratedly covered her mouth with her hand and smiled provocatively. “Just a little.”
Nathaniel tried his best to suppress his anger. “Janet!”
How dared she compare him to a pimp! It seemed that he should have done something. yesterday and let her know that he was her man.
Janet dug her ears, adding fuel to the flames. “What are you shouting for? I’ll give you another 100 dollars.
“You’re so petty to care about such a small amount of money while you own a big
business.”

She looked at herself in the mirror, wondering when her makeup had been removed. Her face was fair and clean with a blush from the morning.
Janet splashed cold water on her face to drive away the wild thoughts in her heart.
A sudden knock rang out. Nathaniel burst in, shirtless.
“Hey! Have you lost your mind?”
Before Janet could even scream in shock, Nathaniel grabbed her shoulder and pinned her against the wall, kissing her deeply.
The cold tiles pressed against her back, and Janet couldn’t help but flinch. Nathaniel’s hand groped behind her, steadying her against the wall.
Nathaniel’s mouth was filled with the sweet scent of lime–flavored toothpaste. He
seized her lips aggressively, sucking as if trying to devour her.
After a moment of disorientation, Janet came to her senses. She pushed him away with all her might, finally breaking free from his kiss.
She wiped her mouth vigorously. “What are you doing!”
Nathaniel was panting slightly. He wrapped one arm around her waist and rested his
Nathaniel refused to let her go. Every inch she squatted down, he followed.
