“Really?” I put my hands down and walked toward him while refusing to believe in superstitions. Then, I walked around him in circles. Nathaniel’s eyes were subconsciously glued to me.
I stopped right behind him. “In that case, wouldn’t I die even earlier?”
While I was speaking, I reached out to touch his right hand.
The moment our skin made contact, Nathaniel’s reaction was exactly the same as Ashton’s. He pulled his hand away abruptly and turned toward me in shock.
“What are you doing?” Nathaniel queried.
“I’m just doing what lovers should do to each other. Since you’re so clueless, don’t you think I should take the lead?” I stared at him affectionately as if I had fallen for him.
However, what I really wanted was to tear him apart.
Nathaniel was still in shock. His facial expression was of a person who had just gotten taken advantage of. Something remained unchanged, though. His eyes were still filled with evil intentions, and he was like an impatient monster ready to pounce at any moment.
Fortunately, it wouldn’t work on me. After all, once the monster was all softened up, it was harmless.
While he was looking at me, I stared back with a grin. “I’m guessing that you’ve never laid a finger on a woman before?”
Nathaniel shrugged. “You guessed wrong.”
I was wondering why he was speaking with such a snobbish tone. Or perhaps, that was just how men were when they talked to the opposite sex.
