Chapter 148 The Plagiarism Case

Nathaniel looked up, his dark eyes burning with anger once again.

“He should consider himself unlucky for setting his eles on you.” His tone was cold and resolute, but there was a hint of concern. It struck a chord within Christina, stirring her emotions.

She dipped a cotton ball in disinfectant and gently cleaned his wound before speaking. “You don’t have to worry about others because I have no interest in them.”

The girl leaned in closer, and her pleasant scent wafted into his nose, subtly diminishing the sharp smell of the disinfectant.

A corner of Nathaniel’s lips quirked up. He extended his manly palm, wrapped it around her delicate waist, and narrowed his eyes. “Is that so?”

Christina’s understanding of his part, particularly the experience of his father’s remarriage when he was young, gave her some insights into his inner struggles.

That was why Christina could understand Nathaniel’s intense animosity toward Francis. His reaction just reflects his vulnerability.

She understood him well, but she would never say it out.

She raised her delicate fingertip and gently stroked Nathaniel’s cheek before speaking with a mix of tenderness and determination. “Of course, I’m not blind. There is no one in the world more outstanding than you, isn’t it?

As she cradled his handsome face in her hands, her affectionate gaze locked onto his. “You look handsome even in casual attire. That’s how my boyfriend should look.”

While others might perceive him as a mature and authoritative figure, to Christina, he was just a grown-up boy yearning for love.

In that fleeting moment, her words thawed the ice in his gaze. He delicately lifted her chin and tenderly pressed his lips against hers.

His searing breath swept into Christina’s lungs, and the heat that permeated her body ignited her blood like a sudden flame. Her rationality and thoughts were all consumed by the intoxicating

sensation.

As the indoor lights gradually dimmed, the intertwined figures of the two moved from the couch to the large bed. As the lights went out, the air between them grew thick with an escalating sense of intimacy.
