Chapter 126 The Expiry Date
Nathaniel extracted another cigarette, but he refrained from lighting it. He held it between his fingers, slowly rolling it until the tobacco spilled onto the floor. His agitation was palpable, yet he offered no apology
He conjectured. “You’re leaving prison with the sole intent of seeking revenge on me, aren’t you? You knew Jacob harbored feelings for you, so you manipulated him, causing discord between us. Gradually. you backed me into a comer, driving me to the brink of insanity.
“You were aware of my lingering love for you, a love I was on the verge of tearing from my very soul. Now that you’ve returned, I find myself unable to escape from you.
“Our relationship is steeped in hatred. You even stabbed Jolin at this critical juncture, turning everyone against me, and lost to Alexander. In your pursuit of revenge, you overlooked Alexander’s betrayal.
Ive already admitted that I’m not a good man. But since you’ve crawled back into my life, I won’t let you escape again, regardless of the chaos you bring”
Freya’s chest heaved with emotion. Her body trembled slightly as her hand clenched into a fist.
So, he knows everything after all.
Nathaniel chuckled lightly before rising slowly and discarding the broken cigarette into the trash. He then leaned down slightly to gaze at Freya, who lay in the hospital bed.
“Freya. I must admit, you’ve changed. You’ve become a stranger. My mind is in turmoil, but I have no intention of letting you go. You’re free to act as you wish under my watch, but you must remain within my control. Do you understand?”
Freya sneered. Her voice was hoarse and bitter as she retorted, “I understand, Mr. Morgan. I will dutifully remain by your side and play the role of your lover.”
Nathaniel furrowed his brows. Despite his best efforts, he found himself unable to resist Freya’s influence on his emotions. This woman could easily incite his anger. He took a deep breath, struggling to find the right words to counter her.
Everyone in Saeville knew he could marry any woman in the city, except Freya.
Nathaniel pursed his lips and warned her, “Freya, stop provoking me. I’m not in the mood for games.”
In response, Freya grinned and replied, “I understand. Mr. Morgan. I’ll behave.”
Nathaniel knew he couldn’t stay in this room much longer. He feared she would push him over the edge.
He was torn. He knew they could never be together again, yet he couldn’t let her go. He had repeatedly reminded himself that this woman had returned with a hidden agenda, but his actions betrayed his heart.
Even now the memory of their passionate encounter in the heliconter sent a thrill through his body

“Rest well. I’ll visit you tomorrow, Nathaniel said, turning to leave.
“Mr. Morgan, may I ask you a question?” Freya inquired, taking a deep breath.
Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and responded, “What would you like to know?”
