Christina glanced at the black card in her hand. Since I don’t want to have anything to do with Nathaniel, how can I take his card?
She gritted her teeth and passed the card back to him. “I don’t want your money. You can take it back.”
She felt slightly reluctant when she passed him back the card.
Nathaniel looked at her. She wants to accept the card, but at the same time, she doesn’t want to. She’s really a little miser.
He took a few strides with his long legs, closing the distance between them. He did not take the card but instead wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly in his embrace.
His muscular chest was pressed against her. A strong, masculine scent instantly enveloped her. She could feel the warmth of the man’s breath along the edge of her ear.
Her heart began racing uncontrollably.
Nathaniel had already asked Sebastian to gather Christina’s information, which included her social activities and personal relationships.

At this moment, she was like a delicious meal trapped in the hands of a beast. She panicked when she felt Nathaniel’s stare. “W-What are you doing?”
An inexplicable glint flashed across Nathaniel’s eyes. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly into a sly smile. “Have you thought it through? If you leave me, how are you going to explain to the Steeles?”
Immediately, Christina became alert. Her heart was beating so irregularly that her cheeks turned red. “You!”
How does he know about my relationship with the Steeles? Hasn’t he been uninterested in me for the past three years?
Nathaniel lightly grazed his fingers over her face. She had a fair and smooth complexion.
He tucked her stray hair behind her ear before resting them on her neck.
“I’m just worried about you. If you return, they may make things difficult for you or your mother…”
Christina understood his intentions even though he didn’t state them explicitly.
Without Nathaniel as a shield against the Steeles, she would only be hurt deeply by them.
However, Christina wondered how Nathaniel knew so much about her family affairs.
The next second, realization dawned on her, and she was livid. “You investigated me!”
B*stard! So what if he’s rich? That doesn’t mean he can just pry into my personal affairs.
Nathaniel revealed a half-smile, giving him a mysterious look.
