From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter 106

Natalie felt flattered by the teasing words, knowing they were meant to please her. As a mature woman, it was natural for her to appreciate and be attracted to men. Despite the man's greasy, he had a good physique that could still captivate her.

Playing mind games, who wouldn't? She told him to do whatever he wanted, so he gave her one in return. Not only did he show that he was watching her program and paying close attention to her, but he also set up the next chat and even hinted at the content of their future conversation, making her feel intrigued.
