The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1124

Michelle noticed that Nathan hadn't closed his eyes at all. He was staring straight at her the entire time.

The look made her uneasy.

She had no choice but to let go of him. "Nathan… Do you not have feelings for me anymore?"

Nathan's expression was cold. "What do you think? Didn't you assume Irene was my woman? That I've kept a mistress outside? If that's the case, isn't it normal for me to have no feelings for you?"

Michelle's face drained of color in an instant, and she panicked.

If he really had no feelings for her, how was she supposed to get pregnant?

If nothing else worked, then she would have no choice but to drug him—the kind of aphrodisiac that kept a man going all night long.

Nathan watched her carefully, noticing her beautiful eyes darting around as if she were calculating something. He was furious.

Nathan shoved her away and turned to leave.

Seeing him about to leave, Michelle called out, "Nathan!"

She panicked and rushed forward, wrapping her arms around him from behind. "Don't go!"

Nathan replied mercilessly, "Let go."

He was furious. First, she hadn't contacted him the entire day. Then tonight, when she finally saw him, she had been so tolerant, so yielding toward his so-called mistress.

He knew Michelle well. She had pride and class. How could she possibly stoop to fighting with a bar hostess? Deep down, she looked down on someone like that.

But it was precisely this detached, composed attitude that set his heart on fire. It felt like she didn't care about him at all.

What he wanted was for her to question him, to be jealous, to want him for herself.

Not this calm indifference, this complete lack of concern.

Michelle tightened her grip. "I won't let go! Nathan, don't leave!"

Nathan reached back and pried her fingers open, one by one, before striding away.

Michelle stood frozen in place.

Michelle nodded politely. "Hello."

Nathan snorted. "I knew you were all listening outside."

He turned back into the room, sat down on the couch, and looked down at Derik and company.

"This is Mrs. Lynch, my wife. She's misunderstood something. She thought Irene was my mistress."

His gaze shifted to Derik. "You were the one who brought Irene here, so I'll have you explain things to my wife."

Michelle paused, confused by what Nathan was up to.
