Chapter 122 Men are Like This
Oliver had no interest in such occasions, particularly Adrian's engagement banquet. However, when he thought about Natalie's motivation for attending the bar gathering, he asked, "Natalie, would you care to accompany me?"
"No," Natalie replied. How could she go when she was in such a state. She could not help but huddle closer to the door when she thought about this.
Charles, noticing her actions, quickly averted his gaze.
Oliver, on the other hand, noticed every subtle gesture she made.
Suddenly, Natalie said, "Let's just return to the Rosewood Estate."
…
When they returned, Natalie used the excuse of being tired to return to the room. She did not want to pay attention to Oliver anymore.
The master bedroom had been thoroughly tidied once more. The once-dark blue carpet had been swapped for a soft, pale yellow one. Although the bedding retained its deep hues, the pattern had undergone a transformation.
Seeing the change, she could not help but curse inwardly, ‘Oliver, you bast*rd!’
…
"Natalie..."
"Natalie..."
Natalie woke up to someone calling her.
Oliver, seeing her wake up, asked gently, "Would you like something to eat before going back to sleep?"
Natalie took a moment to fully wake up and looked at him strangely. "Mr. Windsor, what are you up to now?"
Oliver frowned slightly. She had gone back to addressing him formally. “What do you mean by this?”
"The way you're acting makes me think you're planning something big."
After the events of the previous night, Natalie had become more fearless in her interactions with Oliver and would express her displeasure and unhappiness.
In his mind, Oliver cursed Rosy. It was Rosy who had told him that girls needed to be coaxed, especially someone as gentle and delicate as Natalie. However, she would still show her claws sometimes.
Oliver sat on the edge of the bed, lifted Natalie up, and let her lean against his chest. He held a bowl with his left hand and a spoon with his right, stirring the soup a few times before scooping up a spoonful and bringing it to her lips.
"Open your mouth," he commanded in a voice devoid of gentleness.
‘His gentleness from before was just an illusion,’ Natalie sighed inwardly as she said, “I’m not hungry.”
After a long time without food, her stomach felt empty, but she did not really feel hungry.
"Then, just eat a little less," Oliver said as he scooped up more soup with his spoon. "Come on, be a good girl, open your mouth."
‘Eat less? How many bowls does he want me to finish?!’
Natalie could not find words to describe this guy. She wanted to get away from his hug, but every time she moved, he saw through her plan and firmly held her back.
"Baby, if you don’t want to eat with a spoon, I can find another way to feed you," Oliver said, surprised with his own patience. Although she was clearly ignoring and refusing him, he was not irritated at all.
Natalie looked up and saw him staring at her mouth. Thinking of a possibility, she covered her mouth in shock and stared at Oliver strangely.
‘Does he actually want to feed me with his mouth?!’
"Are you disgusted? Why? It’s not like you’ve been kissed before?"
Natalie could not believe it. Could someone be this shameless?!
Finally, Oliver's eyes showed a slight smile as he scooped up more soup and fed it to her.
"I'll eat by myself," Natalie murmured.
"No," Oliver said. He found it particularly satisfying to feed her like this, feeling a unique sense of fulfillment.
Natalie bit her lip, not wanting to waste more time with him. After a while, she reluctantly gave in and opened her mouth.
Oliver had never taken care of someone like this before, so his actions were not very skilled. Some of the soup spilled from Natalie's lips.
After a few bites, her body finally started to feel hungry. However, her appetite was not big, and it was not too long before she was full. When she looked up, she could sense that something was wrong.
Natalie had been through this before, so it was not hard to figure out what it was. She turned her head with a frown and glared at Oliver, who had an intense look in his eyes.
"Let me go!"
‘What kind of person is he? I didn’t do anything, and yet he..’.
Natalie was surprised when Oliver suddenly grabbed her chin and kissed her without hesitation. Her eyes widened in shock. She could taste the soup in their kiss.
Due to Natalie’s condition, Oliver was very gentle with his kiss.
After a while, Natalie gathered some strength and pushed his face away. Filled with anger, she slapped him.
Oliver, caught off guard by the slap, stared at her in a daze. He touched his cheek and looked at her silently.
Natalie felt a bit scared. She just wanted to get away from him earlier, not to slap him. Most people would be furious at being slapped, let alone Oliver.
"You... you deserve this!"
Natalie thought that since she had already angered him, she might as well anger him a bit more.
Unexpectedly, Oliver only looked at her for a few seconds before kissing her passionately again.
"... Oliver, you..."
‘Childish!’
After a moment, Oliver gently put her back on the bed and went into the bathroom for a cold shower.
Natalie's body was not weak, but after a day and night in the hospital and eating very little, she could not sleep because of the discomfort. However, when the sound of the shower stopped, Natalie closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
