The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 50

Sebastian surveyed the excitement on her face and asked slowly, “What do you think of Mr. Larson?”

As she stuffed the fish into the microwave oven, Natalie smiled softly. “I think he’s nice and approachable. He cares about his employees. He even told me that I can tell him if I had any problem. Truth be told, I never thought that the CEO of the Larson Group would turn out to be so nice. What was most important was that he wasn’t as arrogant as I thought. He doesn’t put on any airs and he appreciates talent. No wonder the Larson Group is so successful. With such a boss, I think I’ll be willing to work for the Larson Group forever.”

At first, Sebastian was pleased to hear her praise Brandon so much, but the more he listened, feelings of jealousy stirred in his heart.

Even though he was Brandon himself, hearing Natalie praise someone she thought was another man made him a little unhappy.

She had never praised Sebastian like this. Didn’t she have a good impression of him as Sebastian?

Odd as it may sound, he began to be jealous of himself…

Forcing a smile, Sebastian strode over to Natalie and asked sourly, “You haven’t even seen this Brandon Larson guy. Why do you speak so highly of him? He has never shown his face to the public. Maybe he’s super ugly.”

Natalie stuck out her lower lip in a pout. She looked up at the man and tried to defend the boss who had just given her a raise. “Don’t be so judgmental. After all, a person’s quality doesn’t depend on their appearance. Besides, when I first went to the Larson Group, I saw a man take the exclusive elevator to the top floor. Later I knew that it was the exclusive elevator for the CEO. So the man I saw was Mr. Larson. His back alone was good-looking, so I doubt he’s ugly.”

Amidst the tense atmosphere, the plate of fish continued to be heated in the microwave oven.

Sebastian snickered and looked down at the woman’s parted lips.

Unafraid, Natalie looked back at him defiantly. “Well? What do you have to say to that?”

Instead of arguing with her, the man slipped his arms around her waist and pecked her on the corner of her lips. “Tsk, I’m just a little unhappy. I’m your husband. I can’t just stand still and listen to you praise another man like that!”

“You’re just impossible. How can you get jealous so easily?” Suddenly, Natalie’s face turned hot. She lowered her gaze, unable to look at Sebastian anymore. She tried to push him away and pleaded, “Step back. You’re too close.”

She was trapped, being pressed in between Sebastian’s large body and the kitchen sink behind her.

Her flustered face made him want to have her even more.

“I have a question.” Sebastian’s deep voice came from above her head, his breath rustling her hair slightly.

Clenching his fist, the man cleared his throat and asked in a gruff voice, “Well, between Brandon and me, who has the better figure?”

As soon as those words left his lips, Sebastian felt incredibly embarrassed.

He knew it was a stupid question, but he just wanted to hear Natalie praise him to his face.

Standing there and thinking for a long time, Natalie stole a glance at Sebastian from the corner of her eyes.

For a second, it seemed that his broad figure matched that of the man in the elevator.

“Actually, you have similar builds.”

Sebastian frowned. With pursed lips, he muttered, “We can’t be exactly the same.”

“I didn’t get a good look at him. How could I tell who has the better figure?” Natalie asked defensively. His question was too… difficult.
