Nemesis Game novel Chapter 74

Samantha’s body tensed and she held her breath as Ruben approached her.

“What are you doing?” He was now too close to her which made her feel nervous.

Didn’t he humiliate her just now? So why was he now being like this? Samantha suddenly felt that she really did not understand him at all.

Ruben looked down at her, and she felt his hot breath on her face.

His breath caused a tingling sensation which made her heart jump.

“What are you nervous about?” Ruben’s voice rose which revealed a trace of pleasure and playfulness.

Samantha then swallowed nervously, “What does that have to do with you?”

“Why does that have nothing to do with me?” Ruben smiled and tightened his grip around her wrists as if to bring them closer and become one.

Samantha wanted to break free from him, but Ruben then began to caress her cheek with his other hand.

Her breathing stopped and her gaze then met his dark and deep eyes. She then felt her chest pounding and that her heart was beating very fast.

He then cupped her face with both hands.

“Don’t move.” He stared deeply at her red face, his voice unusually low and sweet-sounding, as sonorous as a cello.

Samantha’s whole body froze; her heart skipped a beat as she looked at him in a daze.

His face then approached hers slowly, the tip of his nose almost touching her eyebrows. She suddenly closed her eyes nervously and her body began to tremble.

Nervousness, anticipation, eagerness… all kinds of emotions began to form inside her.

Ruben then used a finger to remove a grain of rice away from the corner of her mouth, and as he looked at Samantha with her eyes closed, he began to laugh.

“What are you so nervous about? There was a grain of rice on the corner of your mouth, were you going to save it for later this evening?” He said feeling rather amused.

As soon as he said this, Samantha immediately fell out of her daze and her pounding heart began to slowly return to normal.

Her eyelashes began to flutter like butterfly as she slowly opened her eyes.

His eyes remained clear as he looked at her calmly.

Samantha was laughed at by him and now suddenly wanted to slap herself.

What was she so nervous about just now? Did she think that he would kiss her?

He was just joking with her right? He hated her so much, so why would he want to kiss her? He was just teasing her on purpose.

“What? You thought that I was going to kiss you?” Ruben seemed to have guessed what she was thinking.

Samantha, feeling as if he had seen through her, retorted loudly, “Of course I didn’t, who would want that?”

He must be stupid or something!

Ruben’s lips twitched slightly and patted her hot face with his hand and said, “I never noticed how thick-skinned you were.”

“Thanks.” Samantha was not used to him being so close to her, so she then casually slipped out of his arms.

Ruben’s eyebrows pressed together, “Don’t flatter yourself.”

Samantha lowered her eyes, smiled, and said in return, “This is nothing compared to your narcissism.”

No one would want to be kissed by him, he really was crazy.

Now that his arms were suddenly empty, his expression changed and displayed an indescribable feeling of abandonment.

He then suppressed the look on his face and made a ‘humph’ sound.

Ruben looked at her deeply and then glanced at the empty rice bowl and thought of the appearance of her devouring it just now.

He didn’t want to bicker with her anymore and walked casually out of the study.

Samantha caught the look on his face and lowered her head.

Originally, she had thought that Ruben wouldn’t help her, but Ruben who had now reached the door suddenly stopped.
