Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Wife

“Lucas!”

Nathalie whispered under her breath but couldn’t move an inch after seeing him being supported. And his appearance was the stimulus which drove the lady to the edge of emotions. Lucas was not in the position to cater to her physical needs but he could potentially see that she was taking interest in him.

That was enough for him to keep on going till he could win her heart because attention was the first step. Nathalie barely managed to keep herself composed although she felt her limbs going limped, but the lady walked towards him after the old Lancaster banged his walking stick against the marbled floor.

“Come on young lady! Hold your husband, it is not our duty to carry your burden!”

The old man spoke in an authoritative tone while calling the lady towards him. Grandpa Lancaster seized the chance to bring them both closer at that moment. He was aware that Lucas was not getting the desired attention and love from her.

Now that the old man was there and the situation was the perfect one, he better took the opportunity to bring them closer. Since now only Nathalie had to care for his injured ass it was expected that the new atmosphere will definitely soften her heart for him.

Nathalie hurried towards them and supported Lucas by wrapping his arm around her neck. The lady could smell injections and medicinal smell coming from him. It made her feel bad to see Lucas in that miserable state and as expected she had the urge to care for him.

She wanted to ask her grandpa what had happened to him but couldn’t speak as if some hard lump was stuck in her throat. Nathalie realised in that particular moment that she truly might have fallen for him.

The lady turned her head towards the old man while her eyes spoke the unsaid question.

“Yes, he got into an accident today morning.”

The old man disclosed to the lady who widened her eyes and felt guilty that she had been misunderstanding him.

Nathalie somehow managed to take him upstairs while Lucas was under the effects of medicines. He had a dizzy vision and thought that his head had been messing with him, and he saw Nathalie being kind to him.

“Owh! No, no.”

She nearly threw him in the bed trying hard not to let him roll over the edge. She couldn’t help but to touch his face and a neatly trimmed beard welcomed her fingers.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Mm.”

Nathalie felt as if something might crawl out of her eyes which nobody had ever seen, thus she sniffed and wiped her eyes in case water had filled them.

She stared at him and sat on the floor with a heavy heart while Lucas dozed off without having any clue where he was. Nathalie raked through his hair gently and brushed her fingers into his beard.

‘How come I never realised you are good looking?’

Her inner monologue began and the lady was soon immersed into praising his looks, while Lucas had no idea how “effortlessly” in that moment he had made her fall in love.

“Why didn’t you drive carefully, huh?”

She held his hand and her voice turned into a bare whisper that Nathalie questioned him. The lady felt that her heart might burst any moment due to guilt and worry about him.

“What if something bad had happened to you, huh?”

She couldn’t bring herself to say anymore and thus confessed with her head lowered as she bit her lower lip. It was the moment when a hand wrapped around her neck and pulled the lady.

Lucas pulled her closer to his face and without wasting any more precious chance, he thrust his lips on hers and kissed the lady slowly as if he had been confessing back.

Nathalie was nearly on his chest laying over him she could hear his heart beating for her under the hand. She knew at the moment that her own treacherous heart had also been playing the same music of love in her chest.

She gently brushed his beard while Lucas explored her mouth’s nook and cranny and parted slowly. There was something in his eyes, perhaps a mischievous glint of love or something naughty.

“I didn’t know you care about me this much?”

His raspy voice made Nathalie blush a little although she shook his hand off and pouted. The lady tried to turn over the talk by bringing up the contract again, she wanted to know what Lucas was thinking about it.

“Of course! I can’t let you die until you are my husband or I will have to find some other man to serve the purpose.”

She stood up from the floor and switched the talk while Lucas grabbed her wrist and pulled the lady immediately.

Nathalie was thrown on the bed as Lucas pinned her both wrists on the bed, the rash act startled Nathalie and she couldn’t decipher what he was doing.

Despite being in pain and the wave of pangs in his arm Lucas held the grumpy lady under him, while all the anger and frustration of Nathalie evaporated seeing his concerned face.

“Don’t ever think about replacing me, Nathalie! I will definitely kill everyone who will volunteer.”

His eyes didn’t hint that he might be joking instead Nathalie gulped after witnessing his craziness.

“O- okay, okay. I was just joking.”

She spoke gently which relieved Lucas and he released her wrists and apologised. Nathalie stood up from the bed and put hands on her navel as she resumed her speech.

“You were supposed to cook today Mr Macho, but now you owe me one.”

Lucas squinted his eyes with a meaningful happiness in his eyes.

“So are you going to cook for me this time? Oh my goodness! Somebody hold me!”

He put his hand dramatically on his forehead and swayed a little pretending to be dizzy.

“Be careful, okay, don’t hurt yourself while I’m gone.”

Nathalie laughed at him and then walked outside, while Lucas responded to her instructions.

“Yes, ma’am!”
