The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1130

While others only saw Michelle's achievements, Nathan saw her hard work. She had put in far more effort than the others on her work.

Setting down the design sketches, Nathan stared at Michelle's face as she slept. He knew plenty of heiresses from influential families, but most were very pampered before marrying into equally prestigious families through arranged unions.

This was the first time he had seen someone from her background who worked this hard. It was actually quite inspiring.

Nathan reached out and lifted Michelle gently into his arms. He placed her on the soft bed, then pulled back the covers and lay down beside her.

Michelle rolled over and burrowed straight into his arms, her arms wrapping tightly around his waist. Nathan smirked as he looked at her. "Michelle, can't you behave yourself for once?"

They had gone wild on this bed quite a few times before, but this was actually their first time lying here in peace like this. But she wasn't one for staying still. She wriggled closer into his arms, and her leg kept rubbing against him.

Heat flared through Nathan's body. He had never known his desires could be so overpowering before.

Nathan tried to push her away. "Michelle, let go! Just sleep on your own!"

But Michelle clung to him with a dissatisfied pout. "Stop moving! Don't disturb me from sleeping!"

Nathan was speechless. He reached out to touch Michelle's face. Her skin was so smooth, and her lips were rosy and tempting. Having her in his arms like this was literally the greatest test of his self-control.

But Nathan could not bother to test his own limits right now. "Michelle, you asked for this!"

He lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.

Even in her sleep, Michelle felt like she couldn't breathe. She pushed against him. "Let me go!"

Then Michelle called out again, "Mom! Mom, don't leave me! I will protect you!"

Nathan looked at her. Her brows were knitted tight, and she looked as helpless as a child right then. It was the first time Nathan had seen her like this.

Actually, he had heard a few things about her family situation.

The desires in Nathan's body slowly cooled. He rolled onto his back, then reached out to pull Michelle into his arms.

Softly, he said, "Sleep well. No one's going to hurt you or your mother."
