Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 

Natalie was genuinely bursting. After being hooked up to an IV drip, chugging down a bowl 

of oatmeal, and guzzling water, her lower abdomen was uncomfortably taut. 

Flushed with anger and embarrassment, she abruptly grabbed Brian’s hand. 

Brian halted, lifting his gaze to meet hers. 

“I need the bathroom,” she muttered, her face growing hotter by the second as she mustered the courage to speak up, “I’ll call the nurse.” 

“No need to trouble the nurse,” he replied after a pause. 

Natalie’s mouth fell open, then she frowned and said, “I’m not joking around with you!” 

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Brian retorted. 

At her wit’s end and feeling like she might explode any second, Natalie clenched her teeth, wishing she could knock Brian out with a single punch! 

Footsteps approached from outside the door. Probably, the nurse was making rounds. Natalie’s eyes darted to the sliver of light under the door that flickered. In desperation, she 

called out, “Nurse!” 

Brian listened as the nurse turned the doorknob outside. A half–smirk played on his lips as he released Natalie and stepped back into the shadows. With his back to the door, he dressed 

himself. 

Supported by the nurse, Natalie made a shaky trek to the restroom, her back drenched in 

sweat. 

“Why didn’t you ring earlier?” The nurse’s tone carried a hint of reprimand. 

Natalie wished she had. Returning to her bed after the bathroom break, she heaved a sigh of relief, noticing Brian was decently dressed, tie and all, apparently ready to leave. She 

breathed even easier. 

Brian turned to catch her look of relief, seemingly pleased by his departure. 

Their eyes met for a moment, and Brian’s expression darkened. “Reid will stay here with you,” 

he said to Natalie in a low voice. 

With that, he slipped on his coat, walked to the door, and instructed Reid sternly, “Don’t leave 

her side.” 

“Yes, sir.” 

Though Natalie had been anticipating Brian’s departure, his decision to leave someone behind filled her with a silent fury, a seething anger she found herself powerless to express or alter the situation. After a while, she couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

“This is the transcript from this afternoon’s video conference.” The assistant handed the document to Davis. 

Upon returning, Davis had heard about Brian’s unintentional behavior during the video call.
