Return Of The Heiress For Revenge - Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Not So Perfect!

“Natalie!” he sighed, looking hurt instead of her. Why! What right did he have to look so hurt in her stead?

“I did not pray for your privacy. And no, I am not.. Forget it.” he groaned and left her alone. Nat looked at her hands holding the cleaning cloth and sighed.

“That was right, she was just a housekeeper. Not his wife or girlfriend taking care of his house. She had no right to feel hurt or abandoned. He was already doing so much for her. She was just… a broken piece.” she pushed all those negative thoughts away and cleaned.

When he returned after taking a bath, she had already served the meal on the ground. Two large cushions were on both sides with a mat.

He had his dinner last night sitting on the chair with the bowl and plate on his lap. Now he realized how difficult it would have been for her to eat the meal with so many dishes.

“It is not comfortable to sit on the ground for eating. Especially when you are pregnant.” he sighed looking embarrassed. Nat shrugged as she filled her plate with the food. Max sighed and sat beside her.

“After finishing the meal we will go shopping.” he repeated with a solemn voice as he watched her face.

She could feel his thoughts floating in the air. She was not that good at reading people. She had learnt a bit before going to Chris. But she was not that good. This man was just too simple minded and wore his thoughts on his face. She sighed.

“If you are so worried about my safety, you could go alone. I will make a list of necessary things and you could go shopping while I wait for you here.” she pointed at the food with her chin.

Max grumbled something under his breath and picked up the plate.

“No, you could come. We will just make sure that you can never be recognized.” he smirked saying so and she raised her brow. But as he sat and picked up food, he groaned again.

She noticed he was stiff and uncomfortable.

“You were sleeping in a bad posture the whole night. Perhaps you should rest first.” She offered a look of concern but he shook his head.

“No! That is fine.” he looked at her guiltily. “Nat, I am sorry for last night. I promise it will never happen again.” her grip on the fork tightened as she looked at his sincere face.

Yes! Last night was a mistake. He did not mean anything by it and it would never happen again.

She nodded and looked away as she ate her breakfast. The food tasted like lead. Yet she forced herself to chew and gulp it down.

“And I often sleep on my chair in my office or on the sofa. So it is nothing new. It was just that the floor was too hard.” he sighed as she filled his plate and started eating like a flight was leaving him.

“Take it slowly.” she frowned and he paused. He stared at the food and then at his fork not understanding what was wrong.

Nat shook her head. It had nothing to do with her how he eats, how he lives and how he sleeps! She ignored him and he finished his meal early.

Yet… he did not leave. He sat there despite the stiffness of his body until she finished her breakfast. And then like a gentleman he picked up all the dishes and went to the sink. See! She was not imagining it. He was behaving like a sincere husband again. And she could not bear it.

“What are you doing?” she only realized the sharpness in her voice when the words left her mouth.

He paused, suddenly unsure of his actions. He watched her carefully.

“I am washing the dishes. You cooked, so it is only normal for me to clean.” Nora laughed dryly hearing him. Her eyes were cold and she did not realize resentment danced on her face.

“Why? I am the housekeeper. It is only normal for me to cook and then wash dirty utensils. You are my boss, the owner of the house. Why would you do it yourself?” there was an edge in her voice that he noticed. He looked at the dishes and then at her before leaving them.

“Ah! Alright. But we are going out. Right? And you need to get ready for it. So I will do it today. Next time, you can do it yourself.” Even when she had lost her composure and scolded him, he did not raise his voice and tried to soothe her.

Nat bit her lips feeling awful. She knew that he was worried. “What is wrong with you? Are you all right? Do you need a hug?” was written all over his face.

And yes she does! She needed a hug badly. But she would not ask for it. Not from the man who thought it was a mistake to be in her room last night. Now after she had been soiled by men. She had no right to chase someone so pure like him.

She pushed the pain away and left the kitchen. Once she was inside the room, she leaned on the door and sighed.

“What are you doing Natalie? How could you like him? He is only being kind to you. It is only a pity.” she whispered to herself and took a deep breath.

She opened the closet feeling better and changed her clothes. When she heard the knock on the door, her grip on the comb tightened but she still forced a smile and opened the door.

He had changed his clothes to look ready.

“I am here for your makeup.” he whispered softly and she blinked.

“Do you know how to do make up?” Of course not! A man could not be this perfect.

“No! But they do.” Only then did she notice Emma standing behind him and she flushed. See! Men could not be so perfect.
