Chapter 120: Chapter 120

Hearing the danger laced in Wyatt's tone, I couldn't help shivering slightly, but in the next minute, I snapped out of it. Actually, pushing the payment back for a few days is better, which means that I'm better off staying here than going home, right? If I have to experience the quarter of tossing I went through last night, I feel that my waist will break. Staying back will help with rest!

Thinking like this, I silently massaged my waist.

Hearing my words, a happy beam surfaced on Natalie's face, contrasting with Wyatt's furious scowl.

Natalie happily grabbed my hand. “I have a lot of things to tell you about. You don't mind sleeping in my room tonight, do you?” She gently asked me

Of course not! My heart almost flew out of my chest due to eagerness upon hearing Natalie's questions, but I smacked my lips together to suppress my joy.

I can't let Wyatt discover my joy. No, I can't.

I sneaked a look at Wyatt, and I discovered that his face had turned more gloomy.

His eyes were cold and glazed, making me shiver slightly, but upon recalling that a night away from Wyatt meant a night of rest, I mustered the courage and demurely shook my head.

I purposely made my actions appear as if I couldn't bear to turn down Natalie.

Oswald's lips curved up immediately, obviously gloating at Wyatt.

"No, mom, I don't… Ouch!” I cried out in pain due to Wyatt's sudden pinch at my waist.

Everyone's attention immediately fell on me due to my sudden cry. My face flushed in embarrassment.

Natalie's eyes were filled with concern, and her hold on my hands tightened in concern. “Maia, are you okay?” she inquired

Suddenly, Natalie's brows wrinkled in concern, and her accusing gaze fell on Wyatt immediately. “Did he bully you?” She seriously asked with a serious expression on her face. It was obvious that Natalie would make Wyatt pay if I dared to say yes.

I smacked my lips in grievance and sneaked a look at Wyatt's straight and nonchalant demeanor. How dare I point Wyatt out? Unless I don't want a happy sleep at night!

‘Coincidentally’ Wyatt turned to look at me, his lips quirked slightly in a taunt only I could discover. He held my hand in ‘concern’ and gently asked, “Is anything the problem?”

I shivered immediately. If I didn't know better, Wyatt's perfect act would've made me believe that he was innocent.

The more innocent Wyatt looks, the more trouble that spells for me!

I subtly glared at Wyatt and shook my head demurely. “No. Nothing. It's just that my waist hurt.” I quickly spun out a lie and rubbed my waist before making my way to my previous seat.

Upon hearing my words, Lorelei gave me a fierce glare, as if I had just touched her sore point.

My lips twitched immediately at Lorelei’s craziness. I wasn't directing my words to her in the first place; why is she jealous?

Only if Lorelei could use more of that stupid scheming knowledge to learn how to hold onto her husband tighter, Wyatt and I wouldn't have so much trouble on the ground! So useless! I snorted in contempt.

Natalie glared at Wyatt immediately before turning to me. “Later, I'll get you a good ointment that works really well. It's still that iceberg's fault. Later, I'll teach you some lady tricks.” Natalie winked at me immediately.

My eyes lit up in joy. If I could learn some tricks to save me even a little from Wyatt's stamina, then I'd be happy.

Arya immediately leaned forward in joy. “Aunty. I also want to sleep over to learn!” She eagerly uttered, her eyes crinkling in happiness.

Immediately, Willow gave Arya a soft, rebutting glare filled with fondness. “You're single. What do you need that for?” She chided.

Arya stuck out her lips childishly and immediately clung to Natalie's arm. Natalie's face softened, and she rubbed Arya's hair endearingly. “It's no problem. I believe you'll find your mate soon. It'll also come in handy!” she replied in agreement.

Arya beamed immediately and placed a kiss on Natalie's cheek before pompously returning to her seat in joy.

Willow and Phoebe exchange glances before shaking their heads helplessly.

Wyatt sat next to me, his back straightened and his chin raised slightly. His eyes were glazed, and the pressure surrounding him was a bit chilling, giving one cold and unfathomable feeling at the same time.

Wyatt didn't pay me a glance and elegantly picked up a clean fork and knife. He reached out for the steak and elegantly cut it in a thin and neat cut.

‘I'll make you ride throughout the night….’ Wyatt was about to place the neatly cut steak into his mouth when his cold voice, laced with danger, was transmitted through the mind-link.

The cutlery I held almost slipped off my hands, and I almost jumped due to the shock of his sudden statement. I sneaked a look at Wyatt's face, and I discovered that it was very blank.

If one took a look at Wyatt's blank face, one wouldn't believe that the blanked-face Wyatt was capable of saying such words through the mind-link.

I called down in the next minute. I smacked my lips together and formed an O, not believing Wyatt's statement at all. After all, I knew that wasn't possible. There's no way it can happen.

I'm staying in Natalie's room tonight; how will Wyatt have the chance to bully me? I subtly scoffed immediately.

Wyatt's lips suddenly curved wickedly. ‘Really? Watch how I kidnap you from mom's room after she falls asleep.’ Completing his sentence, he elegantly uncapped a bottle of water and gulped it down his throat.

I couldn't help shivering immediately. That... is that possible? Is it possible for Wyatt to really kidnap me from Natalie's room? However, thinking about the capable Wyatt, what can he not do? I bit my lip and secretly promised to lock the door.

As long as I lock the door, there's no way Wyatt can...

‘I have a spare key.’ Wyatt's amused voice suddenly interrupted my trail of thoughts. It was as if Wyatt knew what I was thinking about, and the thoughts made me shiver. This man must've already laid out a formidable plan from the beginning, didn't he?

The thought made me shiver, but I quickly tried to comfort myself. “I'll tell Mom you planned to bully me later in the night." See if you dare to sneak in. That was what I wanted to say, but before I could...

‘You little snitch. See what I'll do to you later. Dominate your little mouth.’ His calm voice immediately sounded. Seeing the man's unfazed and calm reply made me exceptionally scared. It was as if there was no step I'd be taking that he didn't know about.

I broke out into sweats immediately. I guess my actions were becoming alarming because Asher and Oswald eyed me before their gaze fell on the calm Wyatt immediately.

Phoebe looked at me worriedly and said, “Maia, is anything the problem? Is the food not to your taste?” I was about to shake my head in denial when...

‘There's no problem riding also, right?’

My face paled, and I almost had a mental breakdown. This man is really devilishly insane. How could he be playing all these mind games with me while donning a straight face? Is there any justice in the world?

‘Maia, what do I do? your mate….’

Before I could complete my words, Maia blocked me, as if to tell me that it was my problem and I needed to solve it myself. I could also feel her fear, and it made me extremely nervous.

I rubbed my forehead while wondering if I had made the right decision or not. Whether or not I did, all I knew was that I was dead tonight!
