[Love After Marriage]
Proud and Pretends to be Sweet Heiress VS Sexy and Arrogant Retired Racer
Natalie Vaughn took a liking to the blind date arranged by her family at first sight.
She doesn’t like the smell of smoke, but she likes the scent on Zane Thorne after he's smoked.
She’s not obsessed with hands, but she likes the sexy protruding veins on Zane Thorne’s hand.
She’s utterly captivated by Zane Thorne’s lazy, casual yet explosively sexy demeanor when he smokes and drinks.
To her, Zane Thorne always has an inexplicable attraction.
Natalie Vaughn said to her best friend:
“He looks fucking handsome when he smokes.”
“If given the chance, I must touch his hand properly.”
The veins protruding on Zane Thorne’s hand flow with blood that’s enchanted for her.
So she uses her captivating peach blossom eyes, sometimes pretending to be obedient in front of Zane Thorne, sometimes as proud as a thorned wild rose.
She’s good at using those slightly watery eyes to look pitiful, staring straight at the man to express her interest, yet never stating it outright.
Step by step, leading him into the trap.
Zane Thorne thinks this little girl is of a proud nature, not weak, never making a sound even if in pain.
He can always tell when she's pretending to be sweet, and he always acts like he doesn’t understand with his straightforward male nature.
But Natalie Vaughn’s eyes are truly captivating, occasionally leading him willingly into her trap.
In the end, he is truly ensnared by her, unable to break free.
Later, Zane Thorne said, "As long as you look at me, I just want to embrace you tightly."
Natalie Vaughn thinks, getting a man like Zane Thorne captivated isn’t wasted effort with her pretending and coaxing.

Natalie Vaughn's hand wasn't seriously injured, but a band-aid wouldn't suffice anymore, so Quentin Donovan simply wrapped her hand in gauze.


Throughout the process, Quentin Donovan muttered to himself. Even the manager beside him felt the wound looked a bit scary, and even Zane Thorne frowned at the sight of the blood on her palm.


Zane Thorne watched her calm reaction, remembering that night in the bar when she directly splashed a drink in a man's face. Alone, facing a group, she was this bold, without a trace of fear.


Fighting must not be anything new to her.


However, on Natalie Vaughn's hand, the wound looked somewhat 'shocking'. Everyone thought Natalie must be in great pain, and Quentin glanced at the bloodstained cotton ball.


"Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't you feel any pain?"


Natalie Vaughn's eyes moved slightly, and she raised her hand, carefully observing the gauze Quentin had wrapped around it.
