Chapter 67\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie quickly turned her head away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey suddenly turned around, as if he had eyes on the back of his head. His gaze locked on hers with perfect accuracy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are you pretending? It\u2019s not like you haven\u2019t seen it before,\u201d he teased.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie stared out toward the balcony. \u201cIt\u2019s not that attractive anyway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
gym,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey\u2019s expression darkened. He had a muscular figure from years of going to the including defined abs and perfectly shaped arms\u2026 And she said that he wasn\u2019t attractive?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He slammed the bathroom door shut with a thunderous bang. Natalie curled her lips in annoyance. She looked at the floor, then at the couch. Oh, well. She would rather sleep on the\u00a0<\/p>\n
couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A little discomfort was better than sharing a bed with Jeffrey. Even if they were to sleep side by side, it would still feel like they were worlds apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie lay down on the couch and adjusted her pillow. She turned on her side and shut her eyes. No matter how she tossed and turned, though, she couldn\u2019t fall asleep. In the end, she\u00a0<\/p>\n
opened her eyes again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His clothes were strewn all across the floor. There were bits and pieces of other things too. It\u00a0<\/p>\n
was a mess.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie couldn\u2019t stand seeing such disorder. She always tidied up quickly so that the bedroom always looked neat and tidy. But now? She wasn\u2019t going to be a free maid anymore. Since she\u00a0<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t stand the mess, she just would not look at it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lay flat on her back and stared at the ceiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, she quickly closed her eyes when she heard Jeffrey\u2019s footsteps coming out of the shower. She could hear him walking around with his wet slippers that were squelching softly. Natalie could already imagine how dirty the floor was getting. She couldn\u2019t take it anymore. How could this man be so dirty?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Annoyed, she tugged the blanket over her head and covered most of her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jeffrey glanced in her direction. He was wearing nothing but a towel around his waist and hadn\u2019t bothered to put on clothes yet. However, she didn\u2019t spare him a single glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Where was her determination in climbing onto his bed and even drugging him back then?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He grabbed his pajamas from the walk\u2013in closet. There was a knock at the door just as he put\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 67\u00a0<\/p>\n
them on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha\u2019s voice came from outside. \u201cSir, ma\u2019am. Are you two asleep?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie shot upright from the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, no! It was a bedtime inspection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey walked out of the walk\u2013in closet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
22\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha continued knocking on the door. \u201cSir? Ma\u2019am? I\u2019ve warmed some milk. Having a cup before bed will help you sleep better.\u201d She clearly wasn\u2019t going to leave unless she came in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, we\u2019re not asleep yet,\u201d Natalie answered. \u201cWait a moment, I\u2026 I need to get dressed!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words slipped out before she could even think. Why would she need to get dressed? What was she even saying?\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a hint of amusement in Martha\u2019s tone. \u201cMa\u2019am, you can ask Mr. Foster to open the door.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, is that so? Alright then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
O\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie stood up, grabbed the blanket and pillow from the couch, and rushed into the walk\u2013in closet. There was no time to tidy up. She dumped everything on the floor and closed the sliding door of the walk\u2013in closet. Then, she quickly ran to the bed and slipped under the\u00a0<\/p>\n
covers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey merely watched her in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie hissed. \u201cWhat are you standing there for? Go and open the door.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He raised an eyebrow and went to open the door. Martha was standing there with two cups of warm milk. As she spoke, she entered the bedroom. \u201cSorry to disturb you, sir. I\u2019ll just put the milk down and leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie lay in bed with only her eyes visible above the blanket. She said in a muffled voice,\u201d Thank you, Martha. That\u2019s very thoughtful of you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my duty, ma\u2019am.\u201d Martha placed the milk on the bedside table, subtly surveying the room with her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
