Chapter 308 Possessiveness
Nathaniel took a deep breath and felt a bit jittery.
He never liked explaining things to people, but he didn't want her to keep misunderstanding him.
He never disliked Aurelia. On the contrary, he thought she was too beautiful. Even in a room full of celebrities and socialites, she stood out. He just wanted to keep her to himself.
He didn't understand his feelings before, but looking back, it was Nathaniel's unique possessiveness towards her. If any man looked at Aurelia for more than a second, he would feel uncomfortable.
That must be what liking someone feels like.
"Aurelia, I love you and I just think your makeup was too heavy and flashy that time, your dress had a slit up to your thigh. Is that something you should show others?"
This time, it was Aurelia's turn to laugh in exasperation.
"Mr. Heilbronn, It's the modern age, why can't I wear a skirt that shows my legs? Just look around, which woman's dress is wrapped up tightly? According to you, why even attend a party? Might as well wear camouflage and go to boot camp."
Nathaniel didn't feel angry at her retort, he felt relieved that the misunderstanding was cleared up.
"Aurelia, I don't care what others wear. They're not my wife. Even if they run around naked, it has nothing to do with me. But your legs can't be seen by others, only by me."
Aurelia's eyebrow twitched. This shameless man was still saying such things at this point. Was it appropriate to talk about this given their current relationship?
Aurelia said, "Mr. Heilbronn, if you keep talking like this, I could sue you for sexual harassment!"
Nathaniel quickly said,
"If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it. I was just explaining that incident, and didn't I compensate you afterward?"
Aurelia was stunned, trying hard to recall what happened afterward but couldn't remember any compensation.
"What compensation?"
Nathaniel was so anxious he wanted to scratch his head.
"I had a top craftsman make a bag for you, and I gave it to you a month later. You even took it to the supermarket to carry potatoes. Did you forget? And I took you on a vacation."
Aurelia recalled it and felt frustrated. Wasn't that bag a compensation for sex? She remembered clearly that every time he exhausted her at night, and he would give her a bag the next day.
She was so angry at the time that she took it to the supermarket and started putting in muddy potatoes, carrots, and whatever else she could find.”.
"You gave me the bag because of the night..."
Aurelia couldn't continue.
Nathaniel asked, "What about the night?"
"Because after we had sex, you gave it to me as compensation!"
Nathaniel said in disbelief,
"Why would you think that?"
"Every time after sex, you gave me a bag the next day. What else could it mean?"
Nathaniel felt his eyelid twitching.
Women were truly the most incomprehensible creatures in the world.
He didn't know that Aurelia had so many thoughts in her mind. The gifts he gave her were defined in such a way. Who knows how many other misunderstandings she had about him.
He finally understood why the entire wall and even the storage room at the Bloom Villa were filled with brand-name bags that she was never interested in. Some were even left in their packaging. It turned out there was such a big misunderstanding, and she probably hated those bags long ago.
"Aurelia, I gave you bags because, besides jewelry, I didn't know what women liked. Zack said women would like bags, so I bought them. It's not what you think!
Both of us are involved in the act of making love. I think you should be the one giving me post-sex gifts. After all, I'm the one putting in more effort, and it seems like you enjoy it the most."
Aurelia blushed. She wanted to cover his mouth. She looked around cautiously, relieved that no one heard.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Aurelia stopped in her tracks and slapped his shoulder.
Nathaniel closed his mouth, but a slight sweetness spread in his heart. It was rare to have such close contact with her. Finally having a chance to talk and clear up these misunderstandings made him feel he had more chances to win Aurelia over.
On the other side of the dance floor, Caleb and Lori were moving mechanically, like two emotionless dancing machines, with no interaction. Both of their eyes were fixed on Aurelia and Nathaniel.
In their eyes, Aurelia and Nathaniel were talking closely, exchanging glances, looking like a flirting couple. Lori, who was determined to win Nathaniel over, was on the verge of breaking down.
She was a big star. Why should she let an unremarkable woman steal Nathaniel away? She had worked hard to get him. She couldn't understand why he was still hung up on an ex-wife and wouldn't let go.
Lori was furious, thinking Nathaniel must have never experienced other women and mistakenly thought his ex-wife was a treasure. What man doesn't like a woman who brings freshness?
Tonight, she had to win Nathaniel over!
Caleb sensed Lori's stiffness. He was also feeling frustrated. He had found out that Nathaniel was behind the recent incident that got him grounded by his father for half a month.
Caleb said with a slight smile, "If you need any help, just ask. As your boss, I need to be responsible for my artists' happiness. I won't stand by if I can help."
Lori's thoughts were pulled back. She smiled and said, "Mr. Sinclair, are you helping me or yourself?"
Caleb chuckled, "We're on the same page, aren't we? You make Mr. Heilbronn your boyfriend, and the lead role in the historical drama we're promoting next season is yours."
Lori's eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Sinclair, are you serious?"
Caleb raised an eyebrow, saying, "Why would I lie?"
He was the boss. A role in a TV drama was just a matter of words.
Lori immediately smiled, "I wish Mr. Sinclair success in winning the beauty."
With a common goal, they quickly reached a verbal agreement. Lori would win over Nathaniel, and she would get the lead role. If she managed to marry Nathaniel, she could have her pick of The Sinclair Family's resources.
After their conversation, they turned around, but Nathaniel and Aurelia were no longer in the dance floor.
In a corner of the dessert area, Aurelia was sitting and resting. Nathaniel, not wanting to let her go, followed and sat beside her.
