Nathan gave Michelle a hug like she wished.

She whispered into his ear, "Carry me to the bathroom. I'll shower with you."

A fire burned in his eyes. Just like any other man, he couldn't resist the temptation.

He lifted her into his arms. She clung onto him, legs around his waist.

They entered the bathroom. He turned on the shower. As hot water sprinkled down, she started undressing him.

He kissed her. "Michelle, what are we?"

"We're a married couple."

He fixed his gaze on her. "You know what I'm referring to."

They went from an arranged marriage to having accidentally slept with each other, and it wasn't just once. Both seemed to be thinking about developing a long-term relationship.

Michelle was in a rush. In her eyes, Nathan was too talkative. She preferred a man with less talk and more action.

She told him, "Nathan, stop overthinking. We could be a married couple in bed and strangers outside of the bedroom! There's no pressure on either of us if we get a divorce in the future. It's consensual."

He moved her hand away when he realized she was serious. "Do you mean we're friends with benefits?"

She was speechless. He didn't have to say it aloud.

Nathan refused the idea. "I don't want to be friends with benefits with a woman. Let's put a stop to it."

With that, he left the bedroom. Stunned, Michelle racked her brains for a solution— she had to keep him around.

She immediately threw herself at him and held him by the waist. "Fine, Nathan. I need to confess."

"What is it?"

"I... I love you!"

Taken aback, he whipped around. "Do you?"

Deep down, she didn't love him at all, but she knew better than to be honest. She

had to lie to him to get him in bed and give her a child.

With that in mind, she put on the best acting performance of her life. "Yes, Nathan, I love you! I have been

attracted to you since yest

you on our first blind date: love you, but I've always kept it a secret... because you have a crush on Dr. Táte!

"But what happened between us last night gave me hope. Nathan, even if you don't

love me, I still want you your body, your warmth."

She took a step forward, her gaze pleading and affectionate. "Nathan, we're married. I'm not asking for

love but can you at least... give me this?"

She stood on tiptoe again and kissed him.

Her confession came as a shock to Nathan. She had always felt distant and

untouchable. He never once suspected she held feelings for him.

But she wouldn't have taken the lead unless she truly loved him. Right?

In that moment, he was sure that she did.

She said urgently, "Nathan, kiss me!"

He grabbed her by the wrist, unable to resist her enthusiasm, and sealed her lips

with an aggressive kiss.

A slight pain stung her lips. He

kissed her until she was breathless.

Terrified he might pullaway she

reached for him and began to

undress him.

He pinned her against the wall. Suddenly, something came to his mind. "No!"

She groaned. "What is it this time?"
