The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1145

Perhaps Michelle had been staring at Nathan's face for too long, for he smirked and asked with a hint of amusement, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Michelle snapped back to herself and said sincerely, "Nathan, thank you!"

Although he hadn't asked, he understood her situation with her family.

Nathan said, "We're husband and wife. If someone bullies you, they're triggering me too. You can tell me if you ever run into something like this again, or if you want me to do something for you. As long as it doesn't cross certain lines, I can do it."

Warmth spread through her chest. "What counts as crossing a line then?"

Nathan said, "Nothing illegal or against regulations."

Michelle felt wordless. She really hadn't expected such a serious answer. Didn't he know that she was a law-abiding citizen too?

"Are you saying that you'll do anything for me as long as it's nothing illegal or against regulations?"

"Try me next time and find out."

He didn't answer the question head-on, but Michelle was happy anyway. He was just a husband from an arranged marriage with her, so she was grateful enough that he was willing to go this far, whether he meant it or not.

"It's cold outside. Let's go back to the room."

Michelle said, "Okay."

They returned to the bedroom, where Michelle pulled back the covers and got into bed. "Are you still going to work?"

"Are you?"

Michelle replied, "No. I'm going to rest."

She was pregnant, after all. She needed to rest well for the baby's sake.

Nathan set his phone aside. "Then let's sleep."

They lay down together. They usually shared a bed every night too, but only after exhausting each other physically. It was actually the first time they're sleeping like this, with nothing happening between them.
