"Come here." Nathan's deep and magnetic voice bounced off the office walls.
Mandy smiled and gently set her phone on the tea table. She smiled and slowly walked toward Nathan.
Nathan gestured at Mandy to straddle his lap, which she did. He then tightly hugged her soft body. Her
faint scent, which was as sweet as pomegranate, filled his nose. He gently kissed her on the neck, his
warm breath tickling her skin.
"Honey."
"What?"
"Nothing. Just let me hold you for a while. I need to replenish my energy by holding you this close."
The quarrel between them last night crossed her mind. Although the misunderstanding between them
was finally cleared up, they still delayed for a long time. They were not able to sleep for several hours
last night. It was noon now. Since Mandy did not sleep well last night, she felt a little sleepy.
"Or we could go and get some sleep," Nathan suggested. He also felt sleepy, and his eyelids were
starting to drop.
"Okay," Mandy murmured. Nathan stood up and scooped her up. He carried her towards the hidden
lounge.
"Get some rest, honey." Nathan still held Mandy in his arms. He let her rest her head on his chest.
Mandy raised her head to catch a glimpse of her husband. Nathan indeed looked striking from any
angle. His handsome face could light up any room. No wonder so many beautiful women, both young
and old, would like to pursue him.
"Get your arm off me. Otherwise, your arm will become numb if my head presses it for too long. It's not
good for your sleep," She studied medicine and had seen such cases in the hospital. A girl slept on her
boyfriend's arm. When the two of them woke up the next morning, her boyfriend's arm had gone numb
so badly that it needed amputation.
Of course, Mandy did not want the same thing to happen to Nathan. Whenever she thought of that
particular case, her heart still trembled with fear.
She heard the sound of Nathan's smooth breathing. He was silent for a few seconds. Then, he
suddenly opened his eyes and then turned over and enveloped Mandy's entire body. His handsome
face was magnified in front of her.
"I want to hold you so badly. Just let me sleep with you in my arms," Nathan said in a domineering tone
while stroking Mandy's cheek with his big palm. Mandy almost chuckled.
"Then you can hold me and sleep. I am just worried that pressing my head on your arm will be bad for
your health and affect your sleep quality." Mandy pursed her lips and put on a serious expression. Her
eyes were full of love and concern.
"Okay. It's up to you." Nathan leaned in and greedily kissed Mandy's red lips. The desire in his body
seemed to explode at that moment.
His dark eyes became deeper. He was afraid that he would not be able to help himself with Mandy this
close to him. He might just take her right here right now. But seeing the tired, sleepy look on her face,
he decided not to "bully" her now. So, he snaked his arms around her slender waist, pulled her closer,
and whispered in her ear, "I want you tonight, my little fairy."
Hearing what Nathan said, Mandy felt her ears burn, and she began to feel hot all over her body. In the
past, every time Nathan said such words to her, she would feel so embarrassed. But now that they had
been together for a long time, she was more relaxed around him. She had even learned to initiate their
intimate moments, and she would be the one to ask him to do it sometimes.
"And I will eat you up tonight. Just wait and see." Mandy smiled ambiguously, and her tone was soft
and sweet.
The hormones in Nathan's body seemed to be awakened by her flirtatious words. His eyes suddenly lit
up, and his tone was slightly raised. With a smile on his lips, he said, "Oh? Really? Tell me. How are
you going to eat me up?"
"You'll know tonight when we get home."
"Actually..." Nathan said slowly with a meaningful smile.
"What?" Mandy could not bear it when Nathan suddenly paused and trailed off. She asked again more
aggressively until he finally answered.
"I don't mind if you eat me up right now."
Mandy was speechless after hearing that.
"We turned in so late last night. Do you have any energy at all right now?" Mandy rolled her eyes
dismissively and smiled lightly.
"Are you doubting me? You've always been better at flirting with me. But remember, don't do that to
other men. I'm going to eat you up now." Nathan could not help pressing his strong and masculine body
on hers once again. Unlike Mandy, he never had the habit of taking a nap at noon. Mandy used to have
a lunch break when she was a doctor back then, and when she was a pianist, she slept whenever she
liked without any disturbance.
It was not until Nathan pressed his body against hers that Mandy realized that she had just said the
wrong thing. Why did she even think about doubting this man with an entire body full of raging
hormones?
They made love for a long time. After they finished, Mandy fell asleep soundly. Nathan held her in his
arms for a while. After he woke up, he put on his clothes and returned to work.
When Mandy woke up, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon, and Nathan had already gone back to
work.
Mandy really had a good and long sleep.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and reached out to the other side of the bed. Realizing that Nathan had
already gone back to work, Mandy quickly put on her clothes and walked out of the lounge to find him.
Mandy wanted to surprise Nathan, so she walked carefully and silently on purpose. The office floor was
covered with a plush carpet, which reduced the friction and noise, so she basically made no sound with
each step.
She opened the door carefully, hid herself behind the curtains, and looked at what Nathan was doing.
She saw that Fred was sitting opposite to Nathan, and he was wearing a suit just like usual. He wore
that black suit every day since she had met him for the first time. People who were not familiar with him
would suspect that all he had to wear to work was that black suit.
Fred was a very strange man. He wore a thick suit both in the cold winter and in the hot summer. Truth
to be told, he wore the same suit all year round.
"Mr. Jin, I have found out that Eve has been in touch with a doctor named Ouyang for years," Fred said
with a calm but stiff expression on his face. He handed over a document to Nathan as he spoke.
"Ouyang? Who is he?" Nathan frowned. He had never heard of the man.
"His surname is Ou, and his first name is Yang. He studied in Japan a few years ago. He does bacterial
research. He's an expert in the field."
"What about the perfume?" Nathan squinted at him and asked.
"I haven't looked into that yet. Ouyang has a laboratory in an eastern city. He has been working and
staying there all day long. The lab is heavily guarded. No outsider is allowed to enter."
"Investigate it again more thoroughly and deeply. Make sure to find out the truth." Nathan put on a stern
expression as he browsed through the materials in front of him with concentration. 'The most important
information has not been found. Damn it!' he cursed in his heart.
Hiding behind the curtain, Mandy did not intend to eavesdrop. She bit her lips silently. 'Doctor Ouyang?
Bacterial research?' she thought to herself, puzzled. As a person with a medical degree, she knew how
terrible and dangerous bacterial research could be. If a doctor with a poor professional ethic knew
about this kind of research, well, it was difficult to guarantee that he or she would not make use of this
knowledge to inflict harm on other people.
