Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 35

Nathaniel could not believe his ears, “What did you say?”

“It‘s not that I didn‘t think about giving you a chance, but even now, you still want me to take the blame. Nate, do I look that stupid?” Lily‘s voice was icy. There was a sarcastic smile on the corners of her lips. Nathaniel felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly felt that the woman before him was a stranger. She was no longer the person he had known for several years. She became so sharp, elusive, and very unmanageable. “Lily, what do you mean? You don‘t believe me anymore?” “I trusted you so much that I don‘t even know how I was persuaded.” Lily paused, then did not bother explaining, “I‘m now very thankful for not signing a formal contract with you. From today onward, your MN Inc. has nothing to do with me.”

She emphasized the word ‘your‘ as she raised her foot to walk past him and leave.

Nathaniel grabbed her arm. He had not realized what she meant, but he knew he could not let her go yet. “Are you still blaming me for not signing a formal contract with you?” He asked tentatively,” Lily, don‘t be so immature, okay? If that’s what you cared about, you should‘ve said so earlier. Why are you causing so many issues right now?

“MN Inc. is mine. Isn‘t it yours, too? Ours? Do you realize that you‘re forcing everyone into a dead end?” He tightened his grip, making her arms hurt.

Lily frowned, “Let go of me!” “If you don‘t speak clearly today, I won‘t let it go.” After pausing, Nathaniel realized his tone was too harsh and softened it again. He lowered his head and gave it some thought. His heart seemed to have moved. His eyelids fluttered, and when he looked at Lily, he simply asked, “Lily, are you jealous?” Nathaniel was not concerned that Lily would learn of his relationship with Melanie. Lily had never believed those claims because she was so devoted to him. Lily would believe him every time he said a few pleasant words. How could she possibly doubt him?

However, Lily‘s behavior over the last two days had been strange, especially when facing Melanie. This prompted him to think more deeply, so he took a chance, made an assumption, and went with the flow.

“Are you jealous of Melanie?” Nathaniel continued to ask, observing the change in her expression.

Lily glanced at him and said nothing. Her silence made Nathaniel more confident in his judgment.

“Lily, are you serious?” He sighed heavily as his grip loosened. He shook his head and said, ” After so many years, I thought no one could ever ruin our relationship. That we could withstand any challenges, but how could you...

u don’t know what you heard or saw, but there must’ve been a misunderstanding. You and I. and Melanie the three of us, have known each other for so long! If I wanted to have an affair with her. it would‘ve happened long ago. You shouldn‘t listen to rumors. Those people are eager to cause chaos in the world. Lily, don‘t let them take advantage of you!”

He let go of Lily‘s arm after saying that. He turned to caress her shoulder, trying to pull Lily into his arms

Lily quickly took two steps back, avoiding his touch, and asked indifferently, “Oh? Really?” Unable to comprehend her, Nathaniel went with the earlier idea, “Of course! Remember how we said we would get the certificate if we won this competition? If you don‘t believe me, let‘s get the certificate now! Let‘s get married!”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
