Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 

Although the command in his voice was unmistakable, the affection he couldn’t quite conceal. was just as clear

Back when Natalie was just a girl, Madelyn hadn’t thought much of it. The affection Brian had for Natalie seemed nothing more than familial

That was until Madelyn saw the way his palm cradled Natalie’s slender, straight leg, the look in his eyes not just one of concern, but one of a man’s possessiveness over a woman

And Madelyn had never seen Brian kiss another woman. Not even the customary peck on the hand that was so common overseas. He’d never touched another woman in such a way

Natalie had come home from school one day, the roads slick from a downpour the night before, and she’d taken a tumble. Brian, seeing her scrape, had been so upset that he’d stood her up just for that minor incident

That very night, Madelyn had accepted Robert’s confession of love, officially becoming his girlfriend. She couldn’t deny a part of her relished the surprised look on Brian’s face the next day when he saw her hand in hand with Robert

Madelyn made sure to involve Brian in every date with Robert, flaunting their relationship in front of him at every turn. But eventually, she realized that Brian’s surprise was just at their sudden relationship. And there was no other hidden meaning behind it. Sometimes, it even seemed like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders

Brian wasn’t oblivious to her secret affection for him and simply found it burdensome

That was the difference between her and Natalie. With Natalie, Brian’s cautious affection seemed like a delight

Even once when Robert had jokingly asked, Brian had admitted that there was indeed someone he could imagine protecting for a lifetime

Brian didn’t say a name, but they all knew whom he meant

Yet life was unpredictable

Awake?Brian noticed Madelyn’s gaze, closed his laptop, and looked over at her

Madelyn said nothing

After a moment, she propped herself up in bed and asked softly, Any news from the Coast Guard?” 

Brian flickered his eyes as he replied, Should be soon.” 

They locked eyes for a few seconds before Madelyn asked, Are you lying to me?” 

No.As Brian spoke, he walked over to the bed. Just as he reached the edge, he saw tears clouding Madelyn’s swollen eyes
