Chapter 419 Why Do You Blush So Easily?
Aurelia's tone carried a hint of warning, but her voice was incredibly seductive.
She felt embarrassed just hearing herself.
Over the past four years, she hadn't found it particularly hard to endure. She didn't have a strong need for it, but at this moment, her perception of herself was completely overturned.
Maybe, as people online said, as women got older, their needs would arise.
She wasn't even thirty yet; it shouldn't be happening.
Aurelia's eyes were a bit dazed, and she didn't dare to look up at the mirror to face him.
She didn't need to look to know how red her face must be, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.
Nathaniel finally stopped teasing her, with a hint of schadenfreude, "Aurelia, are we still kissing or not?"
Aurelia's mind was in a mess, her thoughts were tangled, and she couldn't react or figure out how to deal with him.
"Nathaniel, I need to change my pad."
Nathaniel smirked, his expression suggesting, "I get it!"
Aurelia wanted to tell him not to overthink, but explaining now would obviously mean she was feeling guilty. Explaining was just a form of covering up. It was better to end the topic quickly.
He said, "There are some in the master bathroom, you can find them yourself."
Aurelia broke free from his embrace and went to the room where she had showered yesterday. In the bathroom storage cabinet, she indeed found pads.
He had not only prepared pads but also panty liners, period panties, day use, night use, all kinds of lengths, all of which were the brand she usually used.
Aurelia increasingly felt like she was the mistress of this house.
Because she could find everything she needed here.
His thoughtfulness made her heart melt.
Aurelia took out a pack of day-use pads, closed the cabinet door, and after using the toilet, she washed her hands at the sink. The blush on her face hadn't completely faded. She wanted to wash her face with cold water, but she had makeup on.
Aurelia rummaged through the cabinet behind the sink and found a complete set of skincare products, makeup remover oil, makeup remover pads, everything she usually used.
Even the relatively niche exfoliating scrub was stocked.
Nathaniel, that straightforward man, didn't know much about these women's products.
Aurelia still remembered once when they went on a trip, she forgot to pack his shower gel. He mistakenly used her conditioner while showering and her facial cleanser while brushing his teeth.
He had always been confused about women's cleaning products.
But he had bought all her usual toiletries and cosmetics, and every little item told her about his thoughtfulness.
They said that couples who had broken up should not get back together because eighty percent of them would break up again over the same issue.
Aurelia splashed some cold water on her face, clearing her mind a bit.
She carefully considered their relationship. At least for now, he hadn't repeated the behaviors that had disheartened her before.
He was trying to change himself, to remove the barriers between them, to make her not doubt this relationship, and to give her the sense of security that women sought.
A man willing to change for the one he loved was truly touching.
Aurelia had been in the bathroom for too long. Nathaniel had smoked a cigarette on the balcony and hadn't seen her come out. He came over to check.
The bathroom door was slightly ajar. Nathaniel bent his finger and knocked a few times, "Aurelia, are you done?"
The door, which was slightly ajar, opened a crack from his knock, and through the gap, he could see her fiddling with those bottles and jars, patting their contents on her face.
Nathaniel actually enjoyed watching her do her skincare routine. When she had just washed her face, her skin was clear and bright, giving a sense of clarity.
He especially liked her beauty, especially at this moment.
Nathaniel pushed the door open wider, leaning against the door frame, watching her do her skincare.
Those liquids he didn't recognize were poured into her palm and gently patted onto her face.
Aurelia couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "How did you get these?"
Nathaniel crossed his arms, his gaze fixed on her face, "I figured you'd need to use them sooner or later, so I bought them in advance to avoid not having them when needed."
His last sentence reminded Aurelia of their recent conversation on the phone, where he said he would buy condoms in advance to avoid not having them when needed.
Aurelia's temperature, which had just gone down, rose again.
She quickly changed the topic, "I remember you couldn't tell these skincare products apart. How did you manage to buy them?"
Nathaniel sighed, recalling the recent embarrassing incident, "I went to the mall counter and asked about each one. I didn't recognize these things, but I remembered that the bottles and jars you used at home all had that red logo. So I described the red logo to the sales clerk, and she told me that the brand's counter was on the second floor. Then I found it smoothly."
Nathaniel felt that the process of buying these things had gone quite smoothly. Aurelia couldn't help but smile, picturing him buying the products.
Imagining a tall, imposing man standing at the cosmetics counter describing the brand logo, she found the scene a bit funny.
Aurelia casually complimented, "You're quite impressive."
Nathaniel, now a man deeply in love, took in everything she said. Her compliment made him very pleased.
"Aurelia, things are best when you're used to them, and so are people. When will you get used to me?"
Aurelia felt a scream inside her heart, loud and piercing.
Could he not go a moment without flirting with her?
Aurelia's hand froze on her face. She looked up at him. Nathaniel leaned against the door frame, and for a moment, Aurelia saw a playful, carefree expression on his face, like that of a rich playboy.
Her heart pounded.
Then she heard him say, "I also bought condoms; they're by the bedside."
Aurelia felt shy again.
Nathaniel stopped teasing her, collected his emotions, and asked seriously, "Aurelia, after all these years, why do you blush so easily now?"
He felt like he hadn't done or said anything significant.
Compared to their intimate moments at the Bloom Villa, this was nothing.
He could still remember the night she wore lingerie to seduce him, crying under him, shy but also open.
They had always been harmonious in that aspect.
Aurelia didn't respond to his question. After patting her face with toner and lotion, she took out a primer and foundation, applying a thick layer.
She hadn't planned to use makeup, but since he mentioned her blushing again, she decided to apply a thick layer to cover it.
It was really frustrating.
Nathaniel, seeing her act as if he didn't matter, couldn't help but ask again, "Aurelia, don't you want to?"
He didn't believe she hadn't thought about it.
Especially after they reunited, they had kissed, hugged, and even more. He could feel her reactions.
Aurelia was finally pushed to her limit by his questions,
"Nathaniel, can you please leave?"
