Capture Her Heart After Marriage

"Chaim?" Alexia looked at her husband standing at the door in surprise. "Why are you here?"

Chaim ignored her, staring at Nathaniel's hand on top of her head with an icy gaze.

Sensing his displeasure, Nathaniel calmly removed his hand and explained to Alexia with a light smile. "I was the one who called him over. You were discharged from the hospital today and I had him come and pick you up."

"Ah, I see." Alexia nodded in a dazed manner.

Chaim walked toward the two of them and asked again. "What were you doing just now?"

"Chaim don't misjudge what you saw. Alexia had a piece of lint in her hair and I helped her get it out," Nathaniel explained. "Right, sister?"

Alexia didn't want Chaim to misunderstand anything, so she nodded along with the lie. "Right."

"Where's the lint then, show me." Chaim pursed his thin lips.

Alexia's heart raced as she panicked.

‘It's over, he's getting serious!’ Where was she going to find some lint for him to look at! It was Nathaniel's fault. Why did he touch her hair?

Thinking, Alexia glared at Nathaniel with dissatisfaction on her face.

Nathaniel rubbed his nose before responding. "Sorry, Chaim. I can't show you. I've already dropped the lint on the floor to be swept up later. Anyway, I’m sure you two have things to discuss so I’ll show myself out."

With that, Nathaniel waved and walked away quickly, before Chaim could stop him.

"Chaim... " Alexia started.

Chaim interrupted her with a cold and sullen face. "Alexia, stay away from him and from other men in the future! Do you hear me?"

Chaim hadn't been there for days, and her relationship with Nathaniel had grown into a friendship. It was clear Nathaniel had looked down on her in his words before, but now...

And that Joseph Swift of the Swift Group, too. The day she signed the contract, actually asked about her too. ‘Does this woman even know she's married?’

"That's fine, it's not like I have any male friends anyway," Alexia responded and froze.

Chaim's face improved slightly "Where's the luggage?"

"It’s there on the bed." Alexia pointed to the suitcase beside her.
