Natalie’s heart sank; she felt like an outcast all over again.She wasn’t in the mood to get intimate with someone who wasn’t even willing to reveal his true self to her.
“Well, it’s getting late. I’m gaing to sleep,” she mumbled, with her back to him.
Although Natalie said so, she was wide awake. The countless thoughts swarming in her mind disturbed her peace. She pursed her lips and stole a glance at him. She secretly hoped that Sebastian would tell her more. However, he didn’t utter a word. She only heard him sigh and lie beside her.
Natalie’s racing heart calmed down and sank to her stomach as she listened to the ticking of the clock. Just then, Sebastian moved behind her. His chest pressed against her back as he hugged her from behind.
Sebastian rested his chin on Natalie’s shoulder and looked at her pink earlobe.A strange silence prevailed in the room.The dim yellow light from the table lamp enveloped them.
“You want to know more about my past?” Natalie heard his voice rumbling against her back as he trailed his fingers across her arm, drawing patterns on her silky nightgown.
“Don’t force yourself if you don’t want to talk about it,” Natalie mumbled.
She wanted him to open up everything to her, but only if he wanted to.It wouldn’t make sense if she forced him to do it.
“I have never been in a relationship with her as you think.” Sebastian stared at the closed blinds as he recalled the past.
Charis was in the same class as Sebastian and Garrett in high school.
Back then, only the three of them belonged to influential farnilies. The three shared the same hobbies and naturally became friends.
When Sebastian was determined to start a business, Charis let go of the opportunity to take over the Turner family’s business and established the Larson Group with him.
Considering the Turner family and Klein family were associated with one another, Charis knew a bit about Sebastian’s family.She was also aware of his dual identity as Brandon Larson and Sebastian Klein.
Their friendship grew stronger as they went through all the hardships and hurdles together.
Sebastian had always felt Charis was an excellent partner and a reliable friend.But he didn’t love her or have any special feelings for her.
However, one day, Garrett told him that Charis had always had a crush on him.
The memory was still clear as a day.Garett was drunk.
“You’re a heartless man!” he complained, taking another gulp of wine.
“Charis abandoned her family business just to help you start this company — to help you fulfill your dreams.But you never respond to her feelings. To tell you the truth, Charis is into you.She’s smart and pretty. Why don’t you just be with her?”
Perhaps because Garrett had already informed Sebastian about Charis’ feelings, she confessed her love to him a few days
later. However, Sebastian wasn’t interested in Charis, so he turned her down.
Charis was a practical woman.She applied for a transfer and went abroad to explore the overseas market to expand the Larson Group.She had been there for three years.
Soon, Sebastian returned to his senses and nestled his head against the crook of Natalie’s neck.He had a clear conscience.
After all, he was never involved with Charis romantically.He believed three years would have changed many things.
Charis might have already fallen in love with someone else.
And for himself, he was married to Natalie now.He was just surprised to find out about Charis’ sudden return.
However, the overseas business was indeed successfully completed, so it was naturally time for Charis to come back.
However, Sebastian knew that Natalie and Charis would inevitably meet at the Larson Group.
Therefore, Sebastian told Natalie everything about Charis to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But even so, he couldn’t fully disclose his secrets to her.
Sebastian knew that Natalie was unhappy about it.But he couldn’t reveal that he was Brandon.
“I want to know everything about you and Charis.
You know what, Sebastian? It feels like I never fully know you, Natalie muttered.
“I’m sorry that I can’t tell you everything now because of my origin.But I promise to tell you everything one day.”
Sebastian pulled her closet into his arms as if he wanted to melt her into his flesh and blood.He closed his eyes and reminded himself not to utter a word because many unpredictable dangers awaited him and he couldn’t drag Natalie into his mess.
Sebastian held her in a vice-like grip, and Natalie could barely breathe.She tried wriggling out of his hold, but Sebastian slung his leg around Natalie, trapping her in place.
“I am having trouble breathing!” Natalie kicked her legs, trying to free herself.
“But you’re still mad at me,” Sebastian mumbled, pulling her impossibly closer.
Natalie could feel his hot breath blowing against her.Her skin tingled, and she couldn’t think properly.
“Gosh, you’re squeezing me.I can’t even speak properly,” she said, gasping for breath.
However, Natalie suddenly remembered that Sebastian was the illegitimate son of the Klein family.
The cause of his mother’s death was still a mystery to all.It must have been embarrassing for him to admit his identity.
Natalie felt he must have experienced a lot of setbacks ever since he was a child.
Therefore, it didn’t seem strange for him to hold back many secrets.
Although Natalie was still unhappy that Sebastian was hiding something from her, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him at the same time.
“Well, it’s a bit upsetting to know that you’re still in touch with your high school friend but haven’t uttered a word to me.It made me feel like you’re still attracted to her.She is an excellent woman, after all.”
Considering Sebastian’s family background, Natalie felt sorry for him.She wanted to clarify everything once and for all.
Seeing that Natalie didn’t resist anymore, Sebastian held her tighter and kissed her cheek.
“She is not my type.” Then, he bit her neck and slid his hand under her dress.
“I only want you!”he whispered into her ear.
“Don’t mess around.I can give you some time.But you have to tell me everything — soon, and no more secrets.” Natalie slapped his hand and moved farther away — keeping a safe distance from him.
Although Natalie felt sorry for Sebastian, part of her still feared something was going on between him and Charis.She didn’t want to sleep with him unless he told all his secrets to her.
Sebastian chuckled and rolled back to his side of the bed.He knew Natalie very well.
If she wasn’t in the mood, trying to seduce her would only make her hate him even more.
Sebastian was determined to speed up his plan.He had to solve the Klein family’s problems as soon as possible.
Natalie was the most important person in his life, and he didn’t want to continue deceiving her.
Sebastian had many misgivings.He feared that exposing his identity to Natalie before solving the problems would only put her in danger.
Bath of them fell asleep soon after the conversation, their minds filled with problems of their own.
