The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 50

Sebastian surveyed the excitement on her face and asked slowly, “What do you think of Mr. Larson?”

As she stuffed the fish into the microwave oven, Natalie smiled softly. “I think he’s nice and approachable. He cares about his employees. He even told me that I can tell him if I had any problem. Truth be told, I never thought that the CEO of the Larson Group would turn out to be so nice. What was most important was that he wasn’t as arrogant as I thought. He doesn’t put on any airs and he appreciates talent. No wonder the Larson Group is so successful. With such a boss, I think I’ll be willing to work for the Larson Group forever.”

At first, Sebastian was pleased to hear her praise Brandon so much, but the more he listened, feelings of jealousy stirred in his heart.

Even though he was Brandon himself, hearing Natalie praise someone she thought was another man made him a little unhappy.

She had never praised Sebastian like this. Didn’t she have a good impression of him as Sebastian?

Odd as it may sound, he began to be jealous of himself…

Forcing a smile, Sebastian strode over to Natalie and asked sourly, “You haven’t even seen this Brandon Larson guy. Why do you speak so highly of him? He has never shown his face to the public. Maybe he’s super ugly.”

Natalie stuck out her lower lip in a pout. She looked up at the man and tried to defend the boss who had just given her a raise. “Don’t be so judgmental. After all, a person’s quality doesn’t depend on their appearance. Besides, when I first went to the Larson Group, I saw a man take the exclusive elevator to the top floor. Later I knew that it was the exclusive elevator for the CEO. So the man I saw was Mr. Larson. His back alone was good-looking, so I doubt he’s ugly.”

Amidst the tense atmosphere, the plate of fish continued to be heated in the microwave oven. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sebastian snickered and looked down at the woman’s parted lips.

Unafraid, Natalie looked back at him defiantly. “Well? What do you have to say to that?”

Instead of arguing with her, the man slipped his arms around her waist and pecked her on the corner of her lips. “Tsk, I’m just a little unhappy. I’m your husband. I can’t just stand still and listen to you praise another man like that!”

“You’re just impossible. How can you get jealous so easily?” Suddenly, Natalie’s face turned hot. She lowered her gaze, unable to look at Sebastian anymore. She tried to push him away and pleaded, “Step back. You’re too close.”

She was trapped, being pressed in between Sebastian’s large body and the kitchen sink behind her.

Her flustered face made him want to have her even more.

“I have a question.” Sebastian’s deep voice came from above her head, his breath rustling her hair slightly.

Clenching his fist, the man cleared his throat and asked in a gruff voice, “Well, between Brandon and me, who has the better figure?”

As soon as those words left his lips, Sebastian felt incredibly embarrassed.

He knew it was a stupid question, but he just wanted to hear Natalie praise him to his face.

Standing there and thinking for a long time, Natalie stole a glance at Sebastian from the corner of her eyes.

For a second, it seemed that his broad figure matched that of the man in the elevator.

“Actually, you have similar builds.”

Sebastian frowned. With pursed lips, he muttered, “We can’t be exactly the same.”

“I didn’t get a good look at him. How could I tell who has the better figure?” Natalie asked defensively. His question was too… difficult.

Finally, the microwave oven beeped and the smell of sweet and sour sauce wafted to their noses.

“Okay. The fish is ready.” Dropping her gaze again, Natalie tried to push Sebastian away again.

But Sebastian took this as an opportunity to grab her hand. His eyes flashing seriously, he said, “It’s not hard. Touch my body and you’ll be able to tell who has the better body.”

Without waiting for a response, he shoved her hand under his T-shirt.

And just like he said, his skin was firm, with distinctly toned muscles bulging out.

Natalie’s eyes went as wide as saucers. She felt as though she touched fire and instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Sebastian was too strong. He pressed her palm forcefully against his abdomen. There was nothing she could do but feel his defined muscles.

If her hand moved any lower, he would have needed to unbuckle his belt.

She shut her eyes tight and her whole body went stiff. Her other hand flew to her face and she quickly turned her face away from him. But it was too late. Sebastian could see how red her face was.

“Okay, okay. You have a better figure, even better than those models in the magazines. You’re also tall and handsome. There. Happy now?”

Natalie knew that if she didn’t praise Sebastian, he would never let her go.

Sure enough, Sebastian finally let go of her hand. His dark eyes clouded over but Natalie couldn’t read his expression. He raised his hand and touched her cheek gently. “Why is your face so red? I’m your husband.”

“No, I…” Natalie gnawed her lower lip, at a loss for words. Before she could say anything, Sebastian had scooped her up and onto the kitchen counter.

Surprised, she looked up at the man’s beautiful and deep eyes.

Before she could react, Sebastian had already leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers.

His passionate kiss overwhelmed her. She had nowhere to go and nothing to do but part her lips slightly and let him kiss her fiercely.

This wasn’t the first time they kissed, but she still wasn’t used to it.

Sebastian’s kiss was too intense, conveying a passion that seemed to want to devour her.

What felt like an eternity passed before he finally pulled away.

He nearly lost control of himself. Fortunately, he had come to his senses before then. Still, he continued to peck on her neck gently.

His palms still rested on her waist, but he didn’t go any further.

“I’m going to bed,” Natalie whispered hoarsely. She twisted her head in an effort to avoid his advances. Her eyes had clouded over in a daze, but her lips were red and swollen.

Sebastian rested his forehead against her shoulder to calm himself down. “You just got a raise. Shouldn’t we be celebrating?”

Natalie stared at him blankly. Finally, when she came to her senses, she remembered that Sebastian had given her two rings, but she hadn’t given him anything in return yet.
