Chapter 27 You Cant Do It (2/2)
Unconsciously, John pressed his face close to hers, and his enticing lips slid across her wa
rm cheek. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he could not tell.
The faint smell of his unique tobacco mixed with the sweet fragrance of mint went straight into Nina's nostrils. John's handsome face held a magical attraction that made her face get redder and redder as he got closer and closer.
At the most critical moment, she tilted her head and her lips barely touched John's cold face. The brief contact made Nina tremble with anticipation.
Nina's heart was inexplicably beating erratically.
A sporadic heartbeat could be clearly heard in the silence that followed.
However, she was not sure whose heartbeat it was that she was hearing.
”You...you better stay away from me,” Nina ordered as she reached out her hand and tried to push him with all her strength, but her attempt was futile. Her voice became provocatively softer. Rather than a real protest, it sounded more like a beautiful girl hiding in her lover's arms and was acting like a spoiled child.
As soon as her voice came out, she herself was surprised and frightened by the coquetry she heard in her very own voice.
”If only you could be more obedient,” John voiced out in a hoarse voice, with flames of desire burning in his abdomen. Like her, his eyes also had a distinct softness on their depth.
This unparalleled feeling was really wonderful to behold.
It was only when he was close to Nina that he would have such unpredictable yet extraordinarily wonderful emotions.
Nina had really opened the door to a new unchartered world for him that he wished to explore with her by his side.
The romantic atmosphere spread throughout the car, its effect lingering as it floated and filled the whole car. Fortunately, Henry was smart enough to have the foresight to know what would happen next, so he had discreetly raised the partition between the front and back seats and rolled up the window.
Without any audience, John lifted the hair on her forehead, ever so gently. ”You just said that I couldn't do it, so I want to prove myself to you otherwise.”
Prove himself? Nina was in panic. She suddenly came to her senses and forcefully pushed John away with all her might.
When her hand got in contact with his chest, the scene of their first meeting appeared in her mind. Subconsciously, she withdrew her hand and was pliant.
”Are you afraid of me? I thought you were fearless,”
John taunted her. ”You've been a very disobedient girl all this time, so I want to punish you a little.”
”I'm not fearless. On the contrary, I'm very much afraid!” Nina's heart beat even faster than before and she blurted out what initially came into her mind. She pulled out her hand in haste, and felt that the warmth still lingered.
She finally understood that John had a hidden rule that he adhered to. People who obeyed him would be prosperous, whereas the ones who rebelled against him would meet their early demise.
If she were to obey him blindly, everything would turn out fine. But if she contradicted him and went against him, he would spare her no mercy and bully her to the end.
Was she really going to obey him?
No, it was impossible.
If she obeyed him, she would be at his merciless disposal whenever and wherever he wanted. But if she chose not to obey him, she would, at the very least, be able to fight for a chance of survival.
Besides, never in the past had she done anything so stupid so as to give in to someone.
What was more, this man was unreliable and couldn't be trusted. He had set her up and caused her big trouble.
She had thought that when Isabella maliciously framed her up and made her suffer unjustly from the public comments, she could just return it in the same way and made her suffer the same fate. From then on, she would have lived her own life and broken all relationship and connections with Isabella.
But because of his interference, Isabella now hated her to the core. Since the Zhang family had once hired people to kidnap her, such things were likely to happen again multiple times in the future.
Nina could not easily forgive and forget what John had done.
I'm on my period. That's what girls have every month. Being on my period means that there is no chance of me being pregnant now. Don't worry. I'm definitely not pregnant with your child. And even if I really want to have a child one day, it definitely will not be yours.” Nina smirked, feeling smugly alienated and indifferent.
Seeing that there was anger brewing on John's cold face, she didn't feel an ounce of fear and continued bravely, ”I now forgive you for exposing the video to the Zhang family. Fortunately, nothing bad happened to me. It was just a false alarm.
Now, I need to get out. Stop the car! Stop the car, please!” Nina raised her hand and rapped the side of the car anxiously.
She couldn't wait to escape from John as soon as possible.
