The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 578

He hadn't figured out a solution yet, but Nathalie had stepped in and done something entirely unexpected.

He walked over quietly, staring at the scene for a long time. He couldn't help but wonder—if he hadn't gotten a vasectomy, would their own child be this old by now?

Would she look at their child with even more tenderness than she showed Jasper?

Would they have... avoided this impending divorce?

A dark, intense emotion flickered in Lance's predatory gaze. He leaned over, scooped Nathalie into his arms, and carried her straight out of the room.

As soon as the door clicked shut, Nathalie's eyes snapped open. She frowned at him. "Put me down."

Lance tightened his grip, his voice husky. "No."

Taking long strides, he carried her up the stairs and dropped her onto the bed in his room. Before she could react, he was kissing her with an urgent, desperate hunger.

"Mmph—"

Nathalie let out a muffled groan, shoving at his chest, but he was like a man possessed, kissing her so deeply she could barely catch her breath.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally pulled back, though he continued to press lingering kisses against the corner of her mouth.

He was completely unsatisfied.

"Lance, you only have one time left this month!"

Nathalie warned, breathing heavily as she tried to stop him from going any further.

Lance let out a low chuckle. "Do kisses count? I don't think that was part of the deal."

Nathalie's beautiful brows knitted together even tighter. She turned her face away. "Get up. You're suffocating me."

Lance stared at her for a long moment before whispering, "Thank you, Nathalie."

Nathalie's eyelashes fluttered, but she didn't respond.

Lance got up and went to his bathroom to shower.

When he came out to look for her, he found she had already locked the bedroom door.

She clearly had no intention of letting him back in tonight.

Standing outside her door, Lance let out a soft laugh before turning and heading toward the adjacent balcony.

...

Nathalie had just gotten into bed when she heard a rustling sound coming from the balcony.
