Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 465

Chapter 465: Burn My House

“Hmm?” she tilted her head to see Max was still sitting there. How much time had passed?

She looked around but the nurse was not there anymore. “Why are you still here?” looking at his confused face, he sighed. He ran a hand in his hair looking exhausted.

“I have recently bought a house, but I do not have time to take care of it. I am looking for someone who could keep it clean and cook for me. Do you know how to clean and cook?” he asked so sincerely that nat blinked and frowned.

“Are they not paying for my bills?” she furrowed her brows and shifted on the bed to find her phone.

“Do not move!” He held her at her place by her shoulders. “She had just applied meds, let them dry before shuffling so much.” Nat paused but still stared at him in confusion.

“I have some savings.”

“It is not about your bills.” Was he thinking so much? Why did he ask her in the first place? Now it was his turn to feel lost.

“I thought my house was larger and warmer than this room,” he explained! Failed! He was asking her to be a housekeeper when she had just suffered so much!

“And..” she stared at him baffled and he opened his mouth and shut it.

“Natalie! It could be a good start.” he wanted to shoot himself on his feet literally after doing it figuratively. He could be good with the wounds, but he did not have any idea about emotional wounds.

The girl was suffering from emotional abuse and trauma and he offered her to be a housekeeper to treat her. Just great! His cheeks reddened with the thoughts, but he was not to back down from disasters. He looked at her with a sincere face.

“You would have a good place to stay and a good way to earn two and a free doctor around you. This is not a bad offer.” now he was even advertising himself as he was a trophy! Great!

He wanted to bang his head on the wall to bring his senses back. What happened to the dull and silent doctor he was once.

Nat finally raided a brow and blinked. Was she really considering the idea now?

For some reason, he kept staring at her as she tapped her fingers on the bed.

“Hmm, I need money for my son.” she nodded softly, “i could not depend on Nora and Alric for all my life.” then she looked at him and he stiffed under her judgemental gaze. “And you seem to be a sober man. Even if you have sex with me, you would not beat me, right?” his face reddened again. He froze at his place with wide eyes and lips parted.

No word came out.

“And you do not have a wife or girlfriend yet.” he wanted to tell her that he had a girlfriend. But looking at her serious face, he stopped. Why did it matter if he had a woman? He was not going to have se.. Sex with her or anyone! He shook his head at once.

“Hmm, but I am not such a great cook. I can only cook simple dishes.” She accepted his foolish idea?

He laughed softly.

“Hey, I am serious. I clean well and I am good at laundry too. But I am not such a great cook.” he shook his head, his expressions softening.

The fact that she was looking for a fresh start in her life could be big progress already. He did not mind eating bland food for it.

“How bad it could be! I have been eating food here for years. And let me share the secret, they do not cook for doctores separately.”He looked at her half eaten food with a serious gaze and then nodded as if he had just told her the biggest secret of his life.

Nat blinked and followed his gaze. She had barely touched the food. She did not feel the taste when she ate it. It felt like lead, but then, she could not feel anything.

She just lay there and watched the fans most of the time. The only relief was the news where Chris was suffering. She wanted to see the man suffer. Not die but suffer!

To beg for death like she had. She had begged him to kill her but he did not. She would not kill him either. The thoughts of killing him never leave him. Even when she knew he would go to jail or suffer, it was not enough.

Would cooking and taking care of a house help her from those thoughts. Did she want to get rid of those thoughts, she looked at the food again.

Why was she looking at the food in the first place? In confusion, she looked back at him to see worry in those eyes. He always looked at her with those worried or dim eyes. It concerned her. But why?

“Eat your medicines and food, natalie and think about my proposal. In two days, I will discharge you, if you still want to do it, I will take you.” he repeated with an exhaustive look. But she looked baffled.

“Where will you take me?” He paused and looked at her. Nat knew from the look that she had made a mistake. She bit lips and looked away. He would be furious. Like others, he would lose his patience too.

She instinctively closed her eyes when he walked closer and stood in front of her.

“To work, Natalie! I will take you to my house so that you can work. But now I am worried.” When the force and pain did not come, she opened her eyes to look at his chocolaty eyes that seemed amused. Did she amuse him? What was the joke? “What if you forgot the food in the oven and my house exploded!” she gulped. She was sure she could do it.

“You… you will remind me to switch it off. Right?”
