Chapter 41
Caroline looked up and saw the man’s handsome face.
Unlike the cold look he gave her last night, his eyes were very warm now. This was the way he looked
at Shirley.
It was vastly different.
Caroline nodded. “Yes.”
“You should go to rest,” Yuna urged.
Nathan took Caroline’s hand and led her back to the room.
When they returned to the room, Nathan felt her hand was icy. “What’s wrong with your hands? Why
are they so cold?”
Before he could finish, Caroline retracted her hand. She also removed the emerald bracelet on her
wrist and handed it to Nathan. “I’m returning this to you.”
Nathan glanced at the emerald bracelet and then looked at her tiny face. He asked in a low voice,
“Why? Do you not like it?”
“Yes, I do not like it.” Caroline put the emerald bracelet on the table when he did not accept it.

She would not take what was not hers.
Last night, she had clearly recognized her place. This was just a game, and she should not indulge
herself anymore.
“I’ll take a shower first.” Caroline turned around and went into the bathroom.
Nathan frowned as he watched her leave, not understanding why she was so cold to him tonight.
He lay in bed, and Caroline came out of the shower soon. She lifted the blanket and lay beside him.
However, she was far from him.
Nathan stretched out his muscular arm. “Come closer.”
Caroline moved and fell asleep in his arms.
Her eyes were closed, and her delicate eyelashes fluttered peacefully like a resting butterfly. She
curled in his arms obediently and sweetly, emitting a fragrance he liked.

Nathan caressed her face and asked, “What’s wrong with you today?”
Caroline moved her face and avoided his touch. “Nothing. I’m just a little tired and sleepy.”

Nathan’s hand froze in the air. Not only was she cold toward him today, but she also did not let him
touch her.
Nathan lay back and looked at her a few seconds later. His eyes fell on her attractive red lips.
He leaned closer and kissed her.
The girl did not resist, but she did not cooperate either. She just passively accepted it and let him have
his way with her lips.
Half of Nathan’s body pressed over hers. Seeing she was resisting, he propped himself up by resting
his big hands on her side and said in a low yet faint coaxing voice, “Open your mouth, Mrs. Faraday.”
Caroline opened her eyes and refused him. “No.”
Nathan’s eyes were burning passionately as he smiled angrily. “If not, why did you accept the diamond
I gave you? Why did you send me those messages to flirt with me?”
She did not.
Shirley was the one who accepted his diamond.
It was also Shirley who sent those messages to flirt with him.
Caroline did not have to endure this.
Caroline blinked at him. “Oh, I was just teasing you. Can’t I do that?”
Nathan was quiet.
“I’m exhausted today. I’m going to sleep now.” Caroline turned around, her slender back facing him.
Nathan lay back and got up in a few seconds to take a cold shower in the bathroom.
Caroline had fallen asleep when he came out, and he thought, “What a heartless little thing.”
Nathan turned her around and let her sleep in his arms. Just then, he suddenly froze.
He saw her beautiful collarbone and a three-leaf peach blossom birthmark on the lower
right of her collarbone through her clothes.
The pink three-leaf peach blossom birthmark bloomed vividly on her porcelain skin. It was so elegant.
She had such a beautiful birthmark.
The birthmark was located relatively low and hidden, so it was usually difficult to see.
Nathan remembered the night he returned home. She appeared atop him, and he saw this three-leaf
peach blossom.
It was this peach blossom.
