The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 20

Natalie went to the hospital, filled out the registration form, and went straight to get a physical examination. She planned to try the medicines the next week.

Delicious smell of food wafted in the air as soon as Sebastian entered the house.

“Why did you come back early today?”

Natalie cast a sidelong glance at him and continued to toss the spaghetti in the pan.

The apron accentuated her alluring figure.

One could grasp her slender waist with one hand.

Her curvy bum bobbed as she moved around.

The bowtie on her back seemed to tease Sebastian — as if hinting at him to open it and peek at the tempting gift inside.

Sebastian’s eyes darkened as he felt hot in his throat.

He unbuttoned his collar and went to the fridge to get a bottle of water.

“I was off duty earlier today,” he said after gulping down the water He looked at her floral apron and tugged at the hem.

“Is this an apron? It’s pink.It can’t even cover your thighs.”

It was more like a sexy lingerie.

“Stop pulling my apron.I got it at a discount.Pink is a beautiful color, is it not? Take the spaghetti to the table.I’ll make some salad.”

Natalie glared at him and continued to cut the vegetables without uttering a word Sebastian grinned and put the spaghetti bowl on the dining table.

Several design sketches were scattered on the table.

Just as Sebastian sorted the papers and was about to keep them aside, a piece of paper fell from his hands.

I was the physical examination report Sebastian looked at it and felt something was wrong. He couldn’t understand why there was a nicotine test.

Natalie put the salad on the table and realized that Sebastian didn’t seem to be interested in the food tonight “You don’t like the food?”

“No, I was thinking about something.”

The fork in Sebastian’s hand sulled, he turned lo look at her met his piercing gaze.

“What’s it?’ she asked.

“Have you volunteer to do drug trials?” he asked coldly.

Natalie’s hand trembled, and her fork fell.She didn’t know why she was flustered, but she tried to remain calm.

“Yes.The hospital conducts regular trials like these.Moreover, the trial is legal.Don’t look at me as if I have done something horrific.”

Sebastian put down his fork, pursed his lips, and looked at her.

“Don’t go.Don’t you know that the drug trial could cause serious side effects?”

The expression on Sebastian’s face frightened Natalie.Her heart leaped to her throat.

She took a piece of tissue and wiped her lips, pretending to be calm.

“Why are you stopping me?”

“I’m in urgent need of money now, I have no other choice.”

Sebastian’s eyes smoldered with anger.

“How much money do you want? I’m your husband.If you’re going through any problems, why can’t you tell me? Why would you do something like that?”

Natalie had been short of money ever since she was a child.

Tears welled up in her eyes.She took a deep breath and looked at him.

“We are husband and wife only to the outside world.You have already said that we shouldn’t interfere in each other’s business.What makes you think I’d share my problems with you and even ask for money?”

Her words silenced Sebastian.

He rubbed his brows, and his chest tightened with unease.He stood up and looked at her.

“Let’s calm down first and then solve this problem.”

Sebastian closed the door and went out.

The cold summer breeze and the chirping of cicadas filled the air.

Sebastian took a deep breath, and the sweet scent of roses filled his nostrils.

Natalie had planted them on the balcony.

Sebastian leaned against the door as the moonlight kissed his soft features.
