Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law

Chapter 90 - This Is How You Can Help Me...

'This…'' he kissed her lips and Xia tried to push him away but his grip around her waist was tight. Conner touched her face and her shivered, ''I always imagined doing this to you every time''

''You are crazy'' Xia managed to push him away and stepped aside.

''It's raining'' Conner said as he walked towards the window.

''Why is it raining again today?'' Xia said. Her voice filled with frustrations.

''Kim Xia, are you alright?'' Conner turned back to face her and saw tears in her eyes. He walked closer to her. ''Why are you crying?'' Conner touched her and she stepped away.

''I should go home''

''No, it's raining and you didn't bring a car. I can't let you go in the rain. It's difficult to catch a cab at this time of the night. I have a room that you can spend the night in''

''Why are you doing this to me, Conner? I was almost forgetting about you. I was starting to think less of you and you just…''

''I'm sorry for causing you pain, Kim Xia. I tried staying away from you. even though I knew for a while that you were closer to me, I tried staying away but I couldn't. I'm sorry that I am back to remind you of the past but this is the only way I can be closer to you again. I missed you and I missed telling you about my feelings. But, I will not rush you. You can take your time and think about it. Whenever you feel it's the right time, you can give me a reply''

''I need time to get used to this. I don't even know anything about you apart from what you showed me''

''What I showed you is the truest of me, but I promise to be more honest to you. Just don't push me away from your side''

''I'm hungry''

''I will prepare you something light to eat.

....

Mikael hurried into the villa, holding Natalie's hand. They were soaked in the rain.

''Stay here, I will bring a towel for you'' Mikael said to her and went into his room while Natalie remained in the hall.

'It wasn't even announced that it was going to rain'' Natalie said and sneezed. Mikael returned with a large towel. He opened it up and started wiping Natalie's face and hair.

'It's raining season. The rains are expected to continue for a few more months. I will get you an umbrella to take with you whenever you are going out''

Natalie blushed hearing him say that. She looked up and met his gaze. Her face burned even more when she saw him looking at her. His gaze moved from her wet hair down to her face and then to her lips. Natalie twitched her lips and her body shivered when Mikael subconsciously touched her lips and muttered.

"You are so beautiful, Natie" Mikael said and leaned closer towards her but their short moment was interrupted by the sudden ringing of Mikael's phone. As if coming back to their senses, they both stood up at once and their words crashed as they attempted to ease the awkwardness between them.

"I am going to take a shower first"

"It's assistant He, it must be important"

They looked at each other and Natalie nodded her head and pointed at her door.

"I will be inside"

"Natie, wait! You do know that we have to start sleeping in the same room, right?"

"Huh? Oh, I do. I will just take my shower and change into something before I come to your room" Natalie's​ face turned red as she spoke.

"No, I will come to you. I will come to you after taking a shower and changing into something"

"Oh, I will go and get ready then" Natalie said and hurried to her room.

Mikael released a breath he didn't know he was holding before answering the call.

"What is it?"

"It's news about the Miss, Sir. Miss Song asked someone to release some photos that were taken during the time you two went to the cinema. They consist of pictures that could send your crazy fans into frenzy and make them attack her. Not only that, she asked the reporter to write some demeaning things about the Miss. I have everything in my hands, what do you want me to do, boss?"

"Miss Song. It seems snatching away her gigs wasn't enough. Have you gathered any new information about her?"

"Yes, recently she has been meeting with a tattooed man. I haven't figured out their deal yet but I will find out soon and inform you"

"Contact Director Kou and tell him I want Mimi Song to be the side have a role in 'Purple Romance', since she wants to act so much, I will give her a chance to act. I will use this opportunity to get rid of her for once"

"I will get to it immediately" Assistant He replied and hung up.

Mikael looked at the door of Natalie's room and smiled. He went to his room to take a shower and change before going to her.

Natalie finished bathing within a short amount of time and went to her closet. She looked at all her night wear with a confused gaze. She suddenly didn't know what to wear because it was either they were too plain or outdated. She hadn't gotten around to changing her night wears because she felt there was no need to but now, it was necessary.

"What do I wear? These are all not good enough" she scratched her hair and sighed. "I really need to go shopping"

When she heard the knock on the door, she blushed and said, "just a minute, Mikael" Natalie rushed and picked up a blue long dress and rushed to the bathroom to change. It did it quickly and went back to open the door.

"Come in" she said softly and Mikael nodded his head and ended inside before closing the door.

"You changed the sheets?" Mikael asked and cussed himself for acting like a teenager in love. He had finally broken through her wall, why was he suddenly shy in front of her?

"Oh, because you were going to sleep here. I changed the sheets. Do you not like it?"

"No, that's not what I meant. This feels so awkward" he muttered.

"I know, right?"

"Would you like to help me with my script? I am going for the script reading tomorrow morning" he pulled out the script from behind him.

"Oh, it's the one I saw the last time. I read a little bit of it, it's interesting"

"Yes, it also applies to our situation"

"Huh? What situation?"

"The male lead here also fell for an older female"

Natalie blushed when she heard him say that. She looked at him and sat down, "where do you want to practice first? I will help you"

"I was already at the chapter 20, where they had their first kiss"

"First kiss? How many kiss scenes are there in the story? Why do writers add a lot of kiss scenes to their stories nowadays? As if there is shortage of kisses in the world" Natalie busted with a displeasure.

"I won't kiss the female lead, if that is what you are worried about?" Mikael said and Natalie looked at him.

"No, that's not what I meant. You don't have to do that because of me"

"You are my wife, I have to listen to you"

"I suddenly feel sleepy. Study the script on your own" Natalie went over to the bed and laid down at the far end of it, leaving a lot of space behind her.

Mikael chuckled and placed the script down on the table and went to sit on the bed. "I feel sleepy too. I will just study it tomorrow" he laid on the bed.

When Natalie felt the weight of the bed go down, her heart started beating fast again. She touched her heart and muttered, 'what is wrong with me again? Why does my heart beat fast whenever he is near me? Have I really fallen for him?'

"Good night, Natie" Mikael said and kissed her hair softly.

Natalie blushed and clenched her fist against the bedsheets tightly. After a while, she decided to turn when she heard soft breathing sounds. She saw Mikael's eyes closed as he slept.

"He is sleeping already. He must be tired. I wished I could help you, you are working so hard by yourself​. You've lost a lot of weight recently" she touched his face. "I should get stronger fast and..." Natalie swallowed back her words when she felt a strong arm pull her closer. He wrapped his arm around her body, hugging her in the process. "Mikael, you...?"

"This is how you can help me, Natie. Stop moving if you don't want me to take a mile. I am already trying so hard to keep calm when you are laying next to me" he opened his eyes and looked at her.

Natalie blushed and closed her eyes silently. Mikael smiled and pulled her even closer to himself. He held her tightly against himself and closed his eyes with a satisfied smile.
