Chapter 256: And Sex?

Days passed, and it was finally time for the perfume competition. Before Natalie could leave, the doctor arrived at Justin’s home to check on her.

Justin didn’t want to take any risks this time.

"I’m really feeling fine," Natalie said, glaring at Justin, who was sitting quietly on the couch in their bedroom. "I have to leave early, or..."

"Unless the doctor approves that you’re fine, you’re not leaving," Justin said, his expression serious, leaving no room for argument.

Natalie clenched her fists. For the past week, he hadn’t allowed her to do anything but rest, and she was tired of it. "You didn’t even let me practice or prepare anything for the competition. How am I supposed to pass the first round?"

"I know you’ll figure it out," he replied calmly.

She looked at him in disbelief. "Figure it out? This isn’t just any ordinary competition—it’s with the best perfumers in the country..."

"No one is better than you," he interrupted her. "If you insist on arguing more, I know how to shut your mouth. Every night for the past few days, I’ve become very familiar with that small mouth of yours."

Natalie’s face flushed. Every night, he would kiss her passionately, almost punishingly, to the point of leaving her breathless, as if making her pay for not taking better care of herself.

"If the doctor says I can’t go, will you really stop me?" she asked.

"Hmm," he nodded.

"But I have to take my revenge on Sephina and Briena Ford, and this competition is my chance to prove my innocence that I am not the plagiarist but she is."

"I can help you with that without you having to participating in the competition," he said. "And trust me, I can do even worse with them if you want me to."
