Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

Kids with autism can be like that, savants in one area but struggle mightily in others

It was a tough call that Brian made back then to send the nearly helpless Natalie to a boarding school and leave her to fend for herself

When Brian pushed for it, nobody else seemed inclined to argue. They just let her go

Natalie’s thoughts drifted to those past events. And a hint of resentment stirred inside

Brian turned off the faucet, noticing the shadow of discontent on her face

Their eyes met, and with a scowl, he pulled her over to the stove. Standing behind her, he guided her spatulaholding hand with his own, reigniting the flame to flip the steak

The pan sizzled and crackled, yet not a single drop of oil reached Natalie’s hand

She tilted her head slightly, glancing at Brian, who knitted his brows, one hand instinctively shielding her while the other flipped the steak. His expression was sour enough to curdle milk

Catching Natalie’s gaze, he looked down at her, his eyes softening

How do you like your steak?he asked in a low voice

The same as yours.Natalie replied, smiling

After turning off the heat, Brian sliced a small piece with the chef’s knife and brought it to Natalie’s lips, saying, Try this.” 

Natalie blew on the steaming steak carefully before taking a cautious bite. It was still scalding 

hot

Brian set down the knife, leaning on the counter beside her, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched her struggle with the hot morsel, then leaned in closer

You can’t taste properly, yet you won’t admit you’re a klutz.” 

His cold lips met hers as he spoke

Natalie started to lean back, but Brian caught her, prevented her from bumping into the hot 

stove, and lifted her onto the clean countertop

I should think of a proper punishment for you today,he murmured, slowly untangling the black apron from his torso. Chewing on the steak, he added softly, You’d learn to stay out of the 

kitchen.” 

Flushed, whether from the kiss or the heat, Natalie pouted slightly. I can’t do anything. Are you going to take care of me forever?” 

I’ve been doing it for over a decade,Brian chuckled, thinking he wanted to keep caring for her and keeping her safe in the palm of his hand, with no escape
