As soon as Natalie Vaughn said those words, the room sank into an eerie silence.
Undoubtedly, Zane Thorne hadn't expected Natalie to say something like that.
He raised his eyes and looked deeply into Natalie's, trying to discern something. Aside from the familiar curiosity a woman has about a man, there was an additional, barely noticeable shyness.
Zane was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, thinking he must have been mistaken.
Since knowing Natalie, shyness wasn't a word suitable to describe her.
She was bold, straightforward, with vivid emotions.
Being stared at by him made Natalie a bit uncomfortable; Zane's eyes were too aggressive.
"You yelled at me, is it so wrong to ask you to comfort me?"
After saying that, Natalie pursed her lips slightly, her heart in her left chest beating intensely.
She's not someone unreasonable, nor is she pretentious. Yet in front of Zane, she couldn't help but test to what extent she could be wanton.
