Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Love Me, Kiss Me
As Vera got to know Nathaniel better, she also gained a deeper understanding of his personality. There was no way she would be foolishly bullied by him again!
Nathaniel: "..."
’He thought about it carefully. It seemed she really hadn’t said anything of the sort. She had mentioned wanting to open a pharmaceutical factory to him before, but he’d assumed she would wait until after graduating from college. He never expected her to act on it so soon.’
’She’s so young, with no understanding of the market or distribution channels, yet she dares to just open a factory. His wife truly had nerves of steel. A real spendthrift.’
’But as far as he was concerned, as long as she was happy, he didn’t care if she was a spendthrift. His family was wealthy enough to let her spend as she pleased.’
Seeing his unreadable expression, Vera immediately hugged his waist and said coaxingly, "Are you mad? You really don’t need to be. After all, we haven’t been married long, so it’s normal that you don’t know me that well. That’s why you should spend more time with me when you’re free, so we can get to know each other better!"
"Kiss me," Nathaniel said, looking at her.
’It seemed there was no problem between her and Nathaniel that couldn’t be solved with a little kiss. If one kiss didn’t work, then two, or three...’
She took the initiative, wrapping her arms around his neck. She stood on her tiptoes and gave him a quick peck on the lips, then swiftly pulled away and hopped to the side. "I’m going to get back to sorting these herbs!"
Nathaniel: "..."
’His wife was getting more and more cunning. It was becoming harder and harder to get a little something extra from her.’
But something like this was hardly a challenge for him. With one long reach, he plucked her up as if she were a little chick and set her on the table. Then, he moved to stand between her parted legs, his hands gripping her waist.
The table was slightly lower than Nathaniel’s waist, so when he pulled her close, Vera’s legs ended up wrapped snugly around his waist. The position was incredibly intimate.
Vera’s face instantly flushed red all the way to her ears. She placed a hand lightly against his chest and said, "Nathaniel Nathan, stop fooling around!"
"That name needs to change," Nathaniel said, looking into her eyes. "Husband or Nathaniel. Pick one."
Vera bit her lip slightly, saying nothing.
Nathaniel didn’t press her, only saying, "Wife, from now on, I’ll kiss you every time you call me by my full name. No matter the time or place."
Vera muttered under her breath, "Shameless!"
Nathaniel lowered his head and gave her a light kiss. But her lips felt far too sweet, and he immediately deepened it. ’He would never admit to her that he wanted to kiss her every second of every day.’
It was a deep, lingering kiss. By the time he was done, her once-pink lips were swollen and red, like crimson rouge. They were pressed so close together that she could clearly feel the change in his body. He was hard against her, even through their clothes, in an utterly domineering way.
Vera could feel his breathing growing ragged. ’If this continues,’ she thought, ’something is really going to happen tonight.’ She pushed him back slightly, only to bury her face in his chest.
Neither of them spoke, and the room fell silent.
After a long moment, Nathaniel’s breathing evened out. He spoke slowly, "Now, can you tell me how you know so much about all these medicinal herbs?"
Vera had expected he would ask again. After all, her expertise in identifying the herbs today was far too polished. For a girl who had just turned eighteen, it was all highly unusual.
