From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter 78 Natalie looked at him, lost for words. Her pretty face was striking, but her expression was cold, almost indifferent, making her all the more irresistible. Yet, the leftover cream on her lips gave her an adorable softness that was strangely endearing. Darren felt a bit of a tickle in his throat. Instinct overtook his reason. He grabbed her chin with one hand and brushed his fingers along her lips with the other. Sensing her attempt to pull away, he tightened his grip. Natalie shot him a warning glance, but he ignored it, his deep-set eyes locked on her lips.

Her demeanor turned icy as she demanded, "Let go

"Don't give me that innocent look," he replied, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I might think you're inviting me to kiss you."

At that, he smirked, his smile lazy and a bit suggestive, the slight arch of his eyebrows hinting at a uniquely masculine

He watched as her lips grew increasingly pinker from the contact, moving closer and closer. Just as he was about to close the gap, a small hand landed on his shoulder.

Darreny paused, a wicked, playful smile creeping onto his face as he raised an eyebrow at her. "Playing hard to get, are we?" Natalie pushed him lightly, but he didn't budge. With a smug lift of his eyebrow, he enjoyed the moment.-

She mimicked his expression, a glint of mischief in her eyes, then lifted her foot and stomped down hard. The eight- centimeter stiletto heel made a deep indent on his polished black shoe.

A sharp pain shot through Darren's foot, and his ace twisted in annoyance. Just as he was about to call out the culprit, she easily pushed him away.

Taking two steps back, she tilted her chin defiantly, her tone dripping with disdain. "Mr. Luther, from now on, keep at least 3 feet between us. I can't stand your greasy vibe."

"It's only been a few months, and already Mr. Luther has become quite the sight. Even the oil fields can't compete," she added. "Stop with the cheesy lines. They're really off-putting. What are you staring at It's time for us to ride the roller coaster. Are you in or out?" Darren was beginning to suspect she might have broken his foot with that stomp. How could this heartless woman do such a thing and still act like nothing happened? "If you don't want to ride, just wait off to the side. Don't block my view," Natalie said before striding away without a second glance. Darren hesitated for a moment, then charged after her, his expression dark with irritation.

Natalie thought, He clearly is annoyed, but who cares?

Natalie was having the time of her life. After getting off the roller coaster, she dragged him toward the haunted house, Excitement sparkling in her eyes, Darren couldn't help but snicker. He hadn't been into childish stuff like this since he was three. Natalie is such a country bumpkin!

They stood in line for the haunted house, anyway. Inside, it was pitch dark. Just a few steps in, a woman screamed in pure

terror.
