Chapter 4 Playing Hard to Get?

"Oliver, I haven't even opened this gift box. How could I possibly stuff, stuff this kind of thing in there? I really don't know anything!" 

Oliver stood up, his tall figure instantly enveloping Natalie, his powerful aura emanating.

Natalie felt like he was a wolf king about to prey on her, and she was his powerless prey.

Her heart trembled with fear, instinctively retreating, but the man held her chin.

"Natalie, you just want to get into my bed, don't you? Just say it."

"I don't! I don't want anything to do with you! I wish you wouldn't touch me!" Natalie replied angrily.

Oliver's face instantly turned grim, his voice cold as ice shards. "Say it again."

Even if he didn't like Natalie, she was his wife. Her words clearly showed her disdain and insult towards him!

"I didn't prepare this thing! I don't want to get into your bed!" Natalie stared at him, repeating her words. 

Before she could finish speaking, Natalie was forcefully thrown against the bookshelf, her back pressed against the cold wood and spines, causing some pain.

Oliver instantly pressed against her, getting close, his shallow brown eyes deep and intense. This kind of gaze was coercive to anyone, as if he sees through everything.

His voice was ghostly, "Are you playing hard to get with me?"

Silence engulfed her, she couldn't communicate with him!

Why was this person so narcissistic?

"I..." 

Natalie suddenly remembered that the day before the arranged marriage, she had seen Hailey buy the lingerie. The gift was also wrapped by Hailey for him!

It was Hailey's doing!

She looked up at him, Oliver's lips curled coldly, his eyes showing no respect or concern towards her.

Natalie had heard many rumors about Oliver, one of which was that he had beaten a wealthy man to near death at a banquet. The man ended up completely paralyzed.

The antique screen last night was kicked into pieces by Oliver. Natalie had no doubt that if she angered him, her fate would be the same as that of the screen.

"Oliver, I'm sorry! This, you can just pretend I never came!" 

Although it wasn't her fault, Natalie had to apologize first. After all, she would be the one to suffer if she angered Oliver.

"Don't try to seduce me, otherwise, even if you're my wife, I will throw you out!" Oliver let go of her, "Get lost!"

Natalie's fleeing figure made Oliver feel even more annoyed.

The Windsor family's group of clowns had been trying to push women into his arms as spies. So, he decided to marry one and put an end to their ideas.

He hated restless women.

But when this woman said she didn't want to get into his bed, he felt a momentary annoyance.

Back in her room, Natalie angrily called Hailey. She didn't want to be left in the dark.

"Hailey, about the gift box..."

"Is that set of lingerie yours that I found?" 

"Yes, so what?" Hailey admitted without hesitation, feeling proud of herself.

"Why did you do this, Hailey? You already have Adrian! I married Oliver in your place!" 

"Of course, it's for you to experience your husband's endurance. But with his physical condition, I doubt he can even get it up," Hailey laughed. "Natalie, I'm curious, just how ugly is Oliver?" 

Hailey disliked Natalie very much, loathing her enchanting face and figure, despising her for stealing the spotlight, and resenting her for once having Adrian's favor!
