Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80

Ashton studied Natalie with open admiration. She was truly the embodiment of all that was charming in a woman. Few possessed curves like hers.

Natalie’s expression frosted over when she sensed his blatant stare, especially when she noticed that his focus was on her chest. “Are you trying to test my patience?”

“You must have a splitting headache right now, Ms. York. Why force yourself to hold it together? You can loosen up a bit. I’ll help you ease your nerves. Let’s talk properly once you’re less tense. How about it?” Ashton suggested.

He’d approached her at some point and was now placing his hands on her temples.

“Don’t touch me!” Natalie snapped as she stepped back warily.

However, she soon let out a pained groan. It felt like her head was about to explode!

“Someone’s most likely using the parasitic arts on you. I guess that cousin of yours is taking his revenge for the slap you gave him,” Ashton said.

He approached Natalie once more and ushered her into a seated position. Then, he placed his hands on her temples and started massaging them.

“I already told you not to touch-”

An involuntary gasp escaped Natalie before she could finish her sentence. She suddenly felt extremely relaxed and comfortable all over. The feeling was akin to drinking a glass of cold water when one’s throat was parched. Her body went slack, and she slumped onto the floor.

Her legs, covered in black stockings, were crossed in a way that made her look like a mermaid lounging in a pool of water.

“Since you insist, Ms. York, I’ll stop touching you,” Ashton said, pulling away right when it felt the best for her.

“Huh?”

Natalie bit her lip and glared reproachfully at Ashton. He was doing it on purpose!

The moment he stopped massaging her temples, the blissful state of relaxation she’d felt instantly vanished, replaced by the agonizing pain from earlier.

“Don’t stop!”

“What?” Ashton deliberately asked.

“Keep massaging me!” Natalie demanded.

Smiling, he queried, “Is this the way you ask someone for help, Ms. York?”

After taking in his unreadable expression, Natalie resisted the discomfort and humiliation she felt to say, “Please keep on messaging me. Don’t stop…”

The instant she got those words out, she found it incredulous herself.

Being a proud woman, she was the type who’d much rather suffer in silence to uphold her public image. Alas, after experiencing a state of sheer heavenly bliss earlier, she found it impossible to return to a life without it.

Ashton’s hands returned to her temples. He used a specific method to massage her. At the same time, he gathered a wisp of inner energy and channeled it into her body through her temples. By doing so, he was able to use the powerful force of the inner energy to suppress the activated parasitic poison.

Though Natalie tried her best to keep her composure, in the end, she couldn’t stop herself from moaning in pleasure.

Ten minutes later, Ashton finally withdrew his hands and moved to sit across from her. “We can talk now, Ms. York.”

Natalie stared at him with some reluctance.

She hadn’t fallen for him, of course. However, the massage made her feel lighter, freer, and more relaxed than ever. It’d been many years since she last felt this way.

After composing herself, she realized that she no longer had a headache. Could it be that Ashton was genuinely able to treat her condition?

Natalie no longer dared to underestimate Ashton. She asked solemnly, “Mr. Gray, you said I’m suffering from a parasitic poison, right?”
