Chapter 106
The reason why they were similar to the novels could be because Tobias was the CEO of the YS group. On the other hand, she was just an ordinary girl. This cliche setting was popular in Cinderella-like novels.
However, it was still clear to Natalie. She knew that she could not live happily despite being with a man like Tobias.
Due to their different upbringings, it was their destiny to pretend to be a married couple, and that wouldn't last long.
This was their fate!
Most matters in life are predestined, and they were not the masters of their fate.
Tobias twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Natalie, stop reading such novels!"
Natalie was in a quandary.
She knew that Tobias didn't like the kind of novels she was reading, but she couldn't resist the urge to read them and had accidentally revealed this.
Natalie reminded herself to be extra cautious next time.
"Natalie, just because there are rough edges on a diamond, it doesn't mean that it is not a precious diamond." Although this was a compliment, it didn't feel so in Natalie's ears.
Tobias's tone was very calm. However, it was enough to make Natalie's heart skip a beat.
It was still high praise that Tobias described her as a precious diamond. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
In Natalie's mind or in the eyes of many people, she was just as ordinary as a dull stone.
"Lie down," Tobias suddenly said.
Natalie was stunned.
Lie down? Why did Tobias suddenly want her to lie down?
She instantly realized that she and Tobias were alone in bed at night and that Tobias might have s*xual desires. Otherwise, why would he want her to lie down on the bed?
"I, I don't want to!" Natalie wasn't giving in to his orders.
Although Tobias was very kind to her and she even had some affection for him, it didn't mean that she could easily sleep with Tobias on the same bed and in such an uncomfortable position!
Tobias knitted his eyebrows. "If you don't lie down, how am I going to help you!"
If this woman didn't lie down, how would he apply the ointment for her?
Since he had already spoken, he could help Natalie apply the ointment without further misunderstandings.
On the other hand, Natalie became more fearful.
God, this man was so despicable. How could he say something like that "I don't want to do it with you!" Natalie widened her big, fearful eyes.
Tobias's eyelids twitched as he understood what this woman was thinking.
This woman usually looked intelligent, but often she could be comically foolish, making herself a laughing stock, especially when she thought she was right.
"Natalie, if you don't lie down, how am I gonna help you?" Tobias deliberately lifted his pitch.
Of course, he could have clarified directly to Natalie. Instead, he wanted to tease her.
The atmosphere was depressing because of Natalie's crying while she talked about her past, hence he thought maybe joking around with Natalie could ease the gloomy atmosphere.
Natalie suddenly became ashen-faced with fear.
She never knew that Tobias could be so shameless to that extent.
It was clear that this titillated man wanted her to satisfy his desires, but he even said that all he wanted was to help her and he even had an awful and unconvincing reason.
God, how shameless was he?
Was it even fair for the CEO of YS group to bully a lady?
"I don't need your help. I don't want it at all." Natalie blushed.
"You don't want it?" There was an implied message in Tobias's raised tone. "Of course, I don't want it! I don't want it at all!" Natalie deliberately emphasized her stand.
"You'll feel very comfortable after that." The ointment would certainly feel comfortable and icy cold on her wound.
"You, you have no sense of shame!" Natalie's face flushed even more.
With this in mind, Natalie was about to escape from the bed. It was too dangerous to stay in the same bed with this man. He might impose his will on her any second.
Tobias noticed that Natalie was about to escape, so he stopped messing with her.
"Be a good girl and lie down. I'll apply some ointment for you." Tobias's tone was completely devoid of the teasing tone from moments ago.
Natalie was taken aback. Then it dawned on her.
This man tricked her again!
He liked to make fun of her. When she became flustered or tried to run away, he reverted to his serious look, as if she was making a fool out of herself.
Tobias gave the impression that he was aloof, but it was clear to Natalie that he was actually a deceitful, two-faced man!
What's more, he was actually very wild and passionate inside!
"Tobias, is it fun for you to tease me like this all the time?" Natalie stared at him with her big round eyes. Her eyes were mesmerizing. When she widened her eyes, her eyes looked like a cat's eyes, with pupils that were pure black, as dark as ink.
"Well, it's pretty fun." Before he met Natalie, Tobias had never known that he liked teasing and messing around with young ladies.
Natalie was so angry that she was speechless.
"Do you feel much better now?" Tobias said again.
Natalie's eyes narrowed.
It turned out that this man was messing with her moments ago to cheer her up.
The anger that Natalie felt towards Tobias for teasing her subsided instantly.
"It's better if you don't apply the medicine for me. I don't feel uncomfortable," Natalie said.
She was embarrassed to have a man apply medicine on an area she deemed intimate.
"Fine. Do it yourself," Tobias said in a neutral tone.
A sense of awkwardness clouded Natalie's mind.
How could she do it by herself, applying medicine to that area? How could it be possible for anyone?
"If you can't do it, then just lie down," Tobias said with a domineering tone
"Nevermind," Natalie replied.
"Natalie, I'm an impatient man. Don't you enjoy reading romance novels? If the CEO personally applied medicine for a woman, isn't that an everlasting memory for the woman in such novels?"
Natalie blinked. Well, it seemed to be true.
Although it was indeed the case, it was still embarrassing.
Tobias saw that Natalie was still stubborn, he lifted her up and pressed her down on the bed.
When Natalie tried to resist, Tobias used his leg and instantly pressed down on Natalie's leg.
The next second, he took off her pants.
If an outsider witnessed this scene, they would think that Tobias and Natalie's relationship was romantic. In reality, the two of them were in such an intimate position just to apply medicine.
It was really just for the sake of applying the ointment !
Seeing that things had escalated to this, she stopped struggling and laid down on the bed, blushing.
Since she couldn't resist, she had to accept her fate wholeheartedly!
Then she felt a cold sensation of a man's fingers slowly sliding over her scars.
He was very gentle with his fingers as if he was afraid of hurting her.
Strangely enough, the ointment was very cooling, but Tobias's fingers were warm, and the light warmth slowly spread through Natalie's entire body.
