Chapter 78
Chapter 78
Caroline slept soundly with her two slender arms pillowed under her. Her eyelashes were like butterfly
wings, falling downward quietly and obediently. Her fair-skinned face was ruddy, and her breath was
incomparably sweet. The whole ward was full of her body fragrance.
Nathan did not sleep when he was on a business trip for the past few days. He could not fall asleep
without Caroline’s aroma.
Nathan stretched out his hand. He did not remove the black leather gloves and used his slender index RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
finger to brush Caroline’s face.
Caroline felt cold and itchy on her face as if someone was disturbing her. She opened her eyes in a
daze.
“Nathan. It’s Nathan!” she muttered internally. Her sleepy eyes blinked twice. She clenched her fists
and rubbed her eyes. Once she was sure she had not seen the wrong person, she instantly stood up.
Looking at Caroline’s little silly and cute expression, Nathan smiled. “You become foolish after
sleeping? You don’t recognize me anymore?”
“Mr. Faraday, you’re back!” Caroline was clueless that Nathan would come back that night.
Nathan took off his black leather gloves and put them aside. He looked at Nora lying on the bed and
asked, “Is your grandma doing fine?”
Caroline nodded. “My grandma’s condition is very stable. Thank you, Mr. Faraday.”
Nathan glanced at her and asked, “Where’s the restroom?”
“There.” Caroline pointed her finger in the direction of the restroom.
Nathan quickly walked into the restroom.
Caroline breathed a sigh of relief. At that time, Nathan’s attractive voice came from inside. “Caroline.”
He was calling for her.
Caroline’s heart ski pped a beat. She walked over. “Mr. Faraday?”
The door of the restroom was opened. Nathan stood at the door with his long legs. Two words blurted
out from his thin lips. “Come in.” He let Caroline in.
“Mr. Faraday, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Are you sure you want to discuss it outside?” Nathan glanced at Nora.
Caroline had no choice but to enter the restroom.
With a click, Nathan closed the restroom door behind him.
“Mr. Faraday, I’ve already come in. Just tell me if you have something to say. Thank you for what you
did for my grandma
this time.”
Nathan lazily pressed his back against the door frame and interrupted Caroline, “Is that how you show
gratitude to peop
Caroline said nothing. She had thought about it before that it was inappropriate for her to beg Nathan.
Sure enough, he asked her to thank him. “Mr. Faraday, how do you want me to thank you? I know you
helped me for Shirley’s sake. How about I treat you and Shirley to dinner some other day?” She
mentioned Shirley to remind him of his identity as a married
man
Nathan was so clever that he understood what Caroline meant. His smile did not disappear, and he
said, “Wash a towel to help me clean my hands first.”
.
Caroline wondered, “That’s all?” She came to the washstand and took a brand-new towel to soak in the
warm water.
At that time, the man followed Caroline over. The tall and well-built figure stood behind her, with one
hand in his trouser pocket. The expensive suit fabric brushed against her clothes. “Why do you smell
so nice? What smell is this?”
Caroline’s delicate body stiffened. She leaned forward and wanted to escape from Nathan’s body
contact and embrace. She did not know what he meant. The fine line between the flirting and ambiguity
of adult men and women made her flush.
“I use a milky sandalwood body shampoo. Do you like it, Mr. Faraday? If you like it, I’ll give you one.”
Then, Caroline tried to
run away.
However, Nathan stretched out his hand, placed it by the washstand, and trapped Caroline in his arms.
“Okay, give me one. We can use the same body shampoo.” He had never heard of the milky
sandalwood fragrance in the market. The aroma was literal, milky, and desirous, making him obsessed
once he smelled it.
