Chapter 216 His Sweet Revenge

Day Twenty Three...

~~*****~~

Abigail was taken aback when Nathan embraced her. But his warmth brought comfort to Abigail. She slammed her eyes shut and leaned on his chest. Abigail tried to catch and steady her breathing.

Nathan could only watch her silently. He had complicated emotions on his face. He didn't have any intention of having close body contact with her. It's just that he was reminded of Abigail's words.

Since he didn't know how he would ease her discomfort, Nathan followed her words of wisdom– a hug is one way to comfort someone.' Nathan blindly and reflexively did it as he didn't know the right thing to do at that moment.

Abigail just maintained their current position. Nathan's scent somehow helped her relax because of this familiarity. She had the urge to sleep in his arms just to ease her dizziness.

'Sigh. What am I gonna do to her?' Nathan sighed helplessly.

Abigail looked vulnerable for the first time. Who would have thought that this frail woman was the same person who beat up several people inside the Horror House Trip?

After a few minutes, the Ferris Wheel started to slowly descend from the peak going down. Abigail just leaned comfortably on Nathan's body. She was waiting for the Ferris Wheel to stop. Her breathing came back to normal but she still felt lightheaded.

"How long are we going to stay here?" Abigail asked him weakly.

Nathan looked around and he could see that they were going down now. "Just endure it. We are almost there," Nathan mumbled with his comforting words.

Abigail just nodded her head. The throbbing pain in her head was gone. Surprisingly, Nathan's presence helped her a lot.

Ten minutes later, the Ferris Wheel finally stopped rotating. That was the time Abigail drew back and lifted her head. It was now their turn to leave the cabin.

Ethan was already waiting for them at the entrance. When he saw Abigail and his Dad, Ethan immediately ran in their direction.

"How do you feel?" Nathan whispered in her ear, not allowing Ethan to hear it. He didn't want his son to get worried about Abigail so he decided to hide it from him.

Abigail glanced at him. She contemplated for a moment before answering Nathan. "I am fine but..." Abigail paused once more as an idea popped up in her mind.

She held her forehead and pretended to be dizzy. She wanted to test Nathan's sincerity and at the same time, take advantage of this situation to boss him around.

"I feel dizzy. I don't think I can walk... can you... carry me?" Abigail asked him, trying to hide the sly smile on her face.

Nathan: "..."

Nathan fell silent as he didn't know what to reply. Would it be okay to carry her? But he never did this to anyone.

"If you are truly sorry and want to apologize sincerely... Can you carry me in your back, Nate?" Abigail added. There was a hint of challenge in her tone.

Nathan was not able to refute that. He turned to Ethan and told him, "Miss Abi hurt her ankles. She can't walk so I will carry her on the back in the meantime so that we can continue our tour here in the amusement park."

Nathan waited for Axel and Chantha to step out of their car. Surprisingly, the two were not bickering today. Chantha was very silent for the first time. She was not pestering Nathan and she was not fighting with Axel.

Axel just got out of the car when Nathan motioned Axel to come over. Both Chantha and Axel approached him. They saw Abigail and Ethan sleeping inside the car. They thought Nathan would need them to carry the two people– Chantha for Ethan and Axel for Abigail.

"Can you carry my son to his room?"

Chantha thought Nathan was referring to her so she answered, "Sure, Master. Just leave him to me."

"No. Just open the door for us. Axel will carry my son." Nathan replied in his authoritative tone.

Chantha and Axel both nodded their heads, feeling puzzled.

"Okay, Master. I will just wake Miss Abi." Chantha turned to open the door in the front passenger seat when Nathan grabbed her wrist.

"Stop. Don't wake her up. I will carry her."

Chantha: "..."

Axel: "..."

'Whoa! It seems like our Supreme Leader is now used to becoming a carrier! Even though Ethan is no longer watching... he is volunteering to carry Abigail...'

"Move now!" Nathan commanded since the two stayed rooted in their spots. His cold voice snapped them back to the present. Without further ado, Axel carried Ethan while Chantha walked ahead.

Not only Chantha and Axel, but Butler Li and the people inside the mansion were surprised when Nathan carried Abigail, bringing her to her room.

As he was inching closer to the room, Nathan's mind kept thinking about what happened to Abigail when the Ferris Wheel reached its peak.

'Is she afraid of height?' Nathan mused to himself, watching the woman sleeping in his arms. He was carrying her in a bridal style. He had to admit that he got worried about her.

Not minding the several pairs of eyes that were watching him, Nathan pushed the door open and entered Abigail's room.

Thud.

Click.

He locked the door and walked towards the bed. Then he gently put Abigail down. He was very cautious not to wake her up. When Abigail was laid down on the bed, Nathan stayed there for a while, not leaving her room.

Nathan sat on the edge of the bed and his gaze was fixated on Abigail's sleeping figure. He let his eyes roam around her face.

As Nathan let his eyes linger on her beautiful face, he felt like a magnet was drawing him near her. Subconsciously, Nathan's hand reached out, touching Abigail's face.

His thumb rubbed her cheeks, gently caressing her face. Abigail remained sound asleep but she turned her head to Nathan's side. Her eyes were still closed.

Before Nathan could stop it, he just found himself leaning closer to her face. Then their lips finally touched... he kissed her lips!

Nathan moved tenderly, making sure that Abigail wouldn't wake up. He drew his lips back, only to bring them back to her lips. At this time, Nathan nibbled on her lower lip and upper lip alternately. He was kissing her tenderly... in slow and feather-like movements. He totally lost his self-restraint, stealing kisses from her.
