The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 503

Chapter 503

After relaxing for a few moments, she got up and headed to the bathroom to wash up. The suite’s bathroom was large and luxurious, with a striking circular bathtub in the middle. The idea of taking a nice long bath and just relaxing sounded like heaven to her.

Natalie plugged in her phone to charge in an outlet by the bathtub. When she turned it on, she discovered that Brandon had called her more than ten times.

What was wrong?

Pondering this, Natalie placed a video call to Brandon.

“Sorry, my phone was dead before.” Rubbing her w*et hair, Natalie leaned in close to the screen and looked at Brandon’s face.

Brandon opened the video on his end but was working busily overtime, so he simply placed his phone aside. He didn’t pay much attention to Natalie throughout the call. “Don’t you have anything to tell me?” asked Brandon guardedly, as he still focused on the document he was reading. Natalie could only see half of his torso on the screen.

He still couldn’t get the image of Derek carrying Natalie onto the stage out of his head.

Natalie, on the other hand, had no idea what he was talking about.

Her heart and mind were full of the Iridescent Show and the amazing evening she’d had. As for the rest, she could barely remember it. She had no clue that Brandon was talking about Derek holding her.

“What? What should I tell you?” Natalie asked, completely baffled.

A strange mix of jealousy and sadness surged up in Brandon’s mind. He no longer wanted to talk to Natalie, so he buried himself in his work instead.

If she didn’t want to tell him the truth, he wouldn’t try to f0rce anything out of her.

Through the video screen, Natalie noticed a closed container of takeout food on the table beside Brandon. It seemed that he never touched his dinner.

Natalie said, “It’s so late. Haven’t you eaten yet? You can’t keep working. You need to take a break and eat something first.”

Without raising his head, Brandon said calmly, “I have eaten.”

Natalie took a deep breath. She raised her voice, but still managed to say in a gentle albeit slightly exasperated tone of voice, “Brandon!”

Brandon had no choice but to look at Natalie in the screen. Only then did he notice through the screen how s*xy she looked.

Natalie’s hair was w*et, falling on her shoulders in pleasing cascades. Her smooth skin and partly visible cleavage were obscured under mounds of white bubbles. The steam rose around her, and her smooth face looked pink and delicious, which made him want to reach through the screen and have a nibble.

Brandon’s image on the screen had suddenly stopped moving.

Natalie had assumed that a bad connection from the hotel’s internet was the culprit.

“Why is the internet so slow? I thought this was supposed to be a five-star hotel.” She grumbled as she shook her phone, trying to get a better connection. That was when she saw Brandon’s ears getting red.

“Brandon! You perv. You didn’t even listen to me when I was talking about something serious and now that I’m taking a bath you’re suddenly interested?” Natalie shrank back in the bathtub, looking at Brandon with accusing eyes.

Brandon cleared his throat with a cough, but his eyes never strayed from her. “We’ve never tried this kind of video call before. It could be fun, don’t you think?”

He couldn’t help himself. This was the first time Brandon had seen Natalie in such a seductive position.

His next words took on a bolder tinge. “Stand up and let me see,” he ordered, his voice coming out in a low and smooth rumble.

Natalie’s skin heated up from embarrassment and heat. She hesitated for a moment, and then braced her hand on the edge of the porcelain bathtub, slowly rising from the water that hid her from his view.
