Chapter 69\u00a0<\/p>\n
The mortification was too much for Natalie to bear. On top of that, Jeffrey was watching her. She really couldn\u2019t make another sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep going. Don\u2019t stop,\u201d he urged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut my moans don\u2019t sound very\u00a0<\/p>\n
real.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey said nonchalantly, \u201cDo it a few more times and it will.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her face went as crimson as blood. She couldn\u2019t do it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey stared at her for a few seconds. He suddenly leaned in, grabbed her ankle, and yanked hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie cried out in surprise. By the time she came to her senses, she was already trapped in his arms. He braced himself using his arms on either side of her body, his nose touching hers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He narrowed his eyes and warned, \u201cNatalie, do it properly. Otherwise, I don\u2019t mind doing it for real!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She replied, \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could he possibly touch her? He couldn\u2019t even hide his disgust for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sleeping beside him might make her feel uncomfortable, but ironically, it was the safest place\u00a0<\/p>\n
she could be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHah\u2026 Then let\u2019s try it.\u201d Jeffrey let out a cold laugh. He reached out and put his hand under\u00a0<\/p>\n
her clothes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie\u2019s eyes went wide, and she grabbed his wrist in a panic. \u201cHey, you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was actually serious!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey warned in a low voice, \u201cTell me, do you think I wouldn\u2019t take you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie bit her lower lip hard. \u201cAlright, I\u2019ll moan right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was all embarrassed and awkward moments ago, but now, she completely let loose. After all, she knew very well the difference between acting and actually letting things happen for real.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie turned her head away and avoided his gaze. Shutting her eyes, she decided to go all out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Five minutes later, Martha left with a broad smile on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey straightened up beside the bed and said with a knowing smile, \u201cNot bad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Natalie\u2019s throat felt dry and raw. She didn\u2019t even look at him as she moved to get out of bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Jeffrey grabbed her by the collar and hauled her back on the bed. \u201cWhere are you going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe walk\u2013in closet. My blanket and pillow are still on the floor,\u201d she replied. Those were things she slept with. She couldn\u2019t just leave them there on the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you still want to sleep on the couch?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was she really so unwilling to sleep on the same bed as him? After all, they had already slept\u00a0<\/p>\n
together for five whole years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat else? I\u2019m afraid I\u2019ll get nightmares if I sleep with you,\u201d she retorted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey leaned down to meet her gaze. \u201cYou\u2019re sleeping with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s settled!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His dominant and unyielding tone left no room for argument.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha wasn\u2019t leaving Foster Garden anytime soon. She would likely keep making surprise inspections while they were in the bedroom. It would be terrible if she discovered Natalie sleeping on the couch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In order to avoid such incidents from happening, sleeping separately for now simply wasn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
realistic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, Natalie slept right at the edge of the bed. She was so close that she could fall off with a single turn. They slept so far apart that the space in the middle of the bed felt like an invisible gulf that could not be crossed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next morning, sunlight filled the garden of Foster Garden. The plants were lush and\u00a0<\/p>\n
vibrant. The maids bustled about with their tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The butler, Jacob Finn, and Martha were discussing Natalie\u2019s meal plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a security guard came in to report, \u201cMr. Finn, Ms. Wright is here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jacob froze and instinctively glanced at Martha. The staff of Foster Garden were already used to Abigail\u2019s visits, but Martha wasn\u2019t part of the household! She was actually sent by Caroline!\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked, \u201cMs. Wright? Who is she? Don\u2019t tell me\u2026 it\u2019s Abigail?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha had heard Caroline mention her before. She was the woman who caused trouble and\u00a0<\/p>\n

nearly stopped Jeffrey and Natalie from getting married.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The guard nodded. \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Abigail got out of the car. She carried a lunchbox and walked toward the villa with light steps. She had brought breakfast for Jeffrey. Soon, he would be able to enjoy it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
