Chapter 188 Ex-Husband

Natasha gave him a guarded look. “What are you doing?” She had just reminded him that this was her hospital room. Why is he still messing around with me?’ Natasha thought.

Jared’s hazel eyes, intense, locked onto her. “You managed to reel me in so quickly; did you pull some kind of stunt?” he asked.

Natasha felt irritated and yet amused. ‘Seriously, when did I ever seduce him?’ she thought, speechless. She rolled her eyes and retorted, “What stunt do you think I could use?”

Jared leaned in, breathing in deeply against her graceful.neck “You’ve got this natural fragrance about you, he murmured.

Every time they were intimate, that scent captivated him completely. It made him breathe faster, his heart face. He felt like he could go on forever.

“Really?” Natasha shot him a playful glare, denying it.

“Yes, really!” Jared’s hazel eyes grew even more intense as he leaned in, his tall frame moving closer to her hospital bed

Natasha suddenly felt his big hand grab her soft waist. Flustered and annoyed, she slapped his hand away. “What are you doing?” She found it unbelievable that he still could keep his hands to himself, even in a hospital room.

Jared’s eyes blazed as he said, “I want to take off your clothes and see for myself.”

Natasha was speechless at his words. “I told you, this is a hospital! Can you stop fooling around?” she then said.

“Nope!” Jared replied, totally unfazed. He came at her again without hesitation. His hand slid under her blouse, and his eyes instantly widened in surprise. “You’re not wearing a bra?” he blurted out.

Natasha’s eyes practically shot fire. “Didn’t you just feel it?” she asked. ‘Why bother asking when you already know?’ Natasha thought, rolling her eyes. ‘Isn’t that just redundant?’

Jared’s brows furrowed tightly. “Wait, does that mean everyone else has seen it?”

Natasha paused, then couldn’t help but retort, “First, my hospital gown isn’t see-through. Second, whether I’m lying down.

or sitting up, the blanket’s always pulled up to my arms. And third, who would be checking me out so in detail besides you?”

Jared thought for a moment. “Fair enough,” he finally said.

Natasha’s eyes flashed with barely contained patience. “Can you move your hand away now?”

‘His hand is still under my blouse. Isn’t that inappropriate?’ Natasha thought, feeling flustered. The skin under his palm felt like it was about to burst into flames.

Jared acted as if he didn’t hear her at all, leaning in so close his breath tickled her ear. “So, feeling anything now?”

Natasha was totally speechless. “Come on, I’m still a patient now. What do you expect me to feel?”

Jared’s gaze was practically smoldering. “If you’re not feeling anything, why are you blushing?”

Natasha, embarrassed, fanned herself with her hand. She retorted, but not really meaning it, “Maybe I’m just too hot, okay?”

Jared’s eyes locked onto her. “Take your clothes off then!” he said.

Natasha was at a loss for words. Jared shamelessly offered, “I’ll help you.”

Natasha shot back, “Get lost!”

But Jared shamelessly retorted, “If I leave, who’s gonna keep you company?” Natasha stared at him, annoyed. “Who needs your company?”

Jared looked her straight in the eye. “Really? You don’t want my company?”

Natasha gave a little huff and turned her face away. Jared dragged a chair over and plopped himself down right beside her bed. “I’ll just stick around and watch you sleep,” he said with a shameless smirk.

Natasha was speechless. She really wanted to sleep, but she couldn’t at all. Especially with Jared right there beside her, it was even impossible to try.

But she didn’t dare move. She was worried that if she stayed awake, Jared would seize the opportunity to mess with her.

“You can’t sleep, huh?” Jared could tell she wasn’t sleepy at all.

Natasha was at a loss for words. “Want me to ‘

Natasha was surprised. ‘Seriously? He actually

atasha thought, a bit amused.

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Jared just started talking on his own. “Once upon a time, there was a princess.”

“It was Cinderella, Snow White, or Elsa?” Natasha straightaway cut him off.

“Alright, let’s switch it up!” Jared continued, “Once upon a time, there was a devil…”

“Arabian Nights?” Natasha guessed it right again, letting out a helpless sigh. “Seriously, I could even recite that in my sleep”

“Alright, let’s try another one,” Jared responded.

Finally, Natasha couldn’t take it anymore. “Can you please stop with these kiddie fairy tales?”

Jared shrugged. “Hey, I just thought these would be easier for you to follow,” he responded.

Natasha was speechless. So he thinks I can’t understand anything more complicated?’ Natasha thought, rolling her eyes. Is he always this insulting?’ she grumbled to herself…

“Either tell me something for people with a higher IQ, or just stop it,” Natasha said, pursing her lips.

Jared’s intense gaze met Natasha’s for a moment. Then he arched an eyebrow and launched into tales of the intrigue and drama in the business world. Natasha was hooked, listening with genuine interest.

So, for the following few nights, Jared would show up in her hospital room, spinning stories about the cutthroat drama and twists of the business world.

Natasha was so caught up in his stories that she almost forgot about the pain, the injury on her forehead, and being a patient. She was gradually recovering, and the hospital had already approved her discharge the following day.

In the afternoon, Natasha was resting in her hospital room. Suddenly, the door swung open. She figured Jared was showing up earlier than usual today. But when she looked up, to her surprise, it was Percy.

Natasha’s brows furrowed right away. She wasn’t foolish enough to think that Percy had shown up to check on her. She had been injured for many days, and if Percy had actually cared, he would have come way earlier.
