The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1123

The moment those words left her mouth, Michelle felt a sharp pain in her jaw. Nathan had tightened his fingers, gripping her chin hard.

Michelle shoved at him. "Nathan, you're hurting me!"

Nathan felt both irritated and amused. "Good. You deserve it. Bear with it."

Michelle fell silent.

What kind of crazy fit is he throwing this time? If it weren't for her trying to get pregnant, she would've kicked him away long ago.

"I already apologized to you. Do you really care that much about Irene?" she retorted.

Nathan scoffed. "Who told you Irene is my woman?"

Michelle countered, "Everyone says so!"

Nathan paused for a moment, then asked, "If Irene really were my woman, would this be your attitude?"

Michelle was taken aback. "What's wrong with my attitude? Isn't it good enough? I'm your legal wife, and I've been yielding to her at every turn!"

Even Janet had been furious on her behalf.

Nathan let out a cold laugh. "So you do know you're my legal wife. For a moment there, I thought you'd forgotten."

She snapped. "Nathan, what exactly are you trying to say?"

She was at a loss. What more did he want from her? After finding out Irene was his woman, she had already been more tolerant than she should have been.

Nathan's gaze darkened. "Answer me. Do you love me?"

Michelle's lashes fluttered and answered in an earnest tone, "Yes. I love you."

"So this is how you 'love' me? If Irene were my woman, you'd step aside for her and even apologize to her?"

Michelle was stunned. "Yes. I let her have her way because she's your woman. Because I love you, I have to accept everything about you!"

Nathan was rendered utterly speechless. He released her chin, then suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

His gaze slid down to her luscious, red lips. "Everything that comes out of your mouth… I can't even tell what is real anymore."

Michelle's heart sank. Was she about to be exposed?

No! Not now, at least.

She reacted instantly, lifting her arms to wrap them around Nathan's neck. "Nathan, listen to me. I really do love you."

Nathan gave a cold laugh, his eyes fixed on her, clearly looking forward to how she was planning to spin this.

"Please believe me, Nathan," she whispered, then leaned forward and kissed him.

Nathan caught the soft, sweet scent of her body first, then the gentle, yielding warmth of her lips.

In an instant, it stirred the most primal desire deep inside him.

However, he didn't react to her move.
