Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 152: Magic Hands at Work

Perhaps because he didn’t know much about music, when Zane Thorne saw Natalie Vaughn so focused, a wave of jealousy surged in his heart and was uncontrollable. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Relying on his long arms, he was roasting a leg of lamb with one hand and reached over with the other hand to wrap around Natalie Vaughn’s waist, pulling her onto his lap with some force.

Natalie Vaughn was startled and looked up and glared at him fiercely.

"What are you doing?"

She was listening to the song properly, and the mood she had just built up was completely disrupted by him.

Zane Thorne gave her a deep look.

"This way of listening works too."

Someone like him would never allow his wife’s attention to be wholly occupied by another man, especially when he was right there.

Natalie didn’t have the mindset to think about why Zane was doing this, and since she was sitting that way, she just went with it. The man’s leg muscles were firm, his body warm, making it comfortable to sit on.

So, Natalie sat in Zane’s arms, watching the surprise performance the boys in front of her had meticulously prepared. However, her attention would occasionally be stolen by Zane’s hand resting on her waist.

Zane was being mischievous, each time only lightly rubbing a little, then stopping suddenly just when Natalie was about to lose her composure. After repeating this several times, Natalie’s mind was filled with thoughts of Zane’s sexy hands.

Broad, warm.

The lyrics just happened to say: "A touch blossoms."

With a bang, it was as if fireworks exploded in Natalie’s mind because she started to think of some indescribable things.

A touch blossoms, a touch blossoms... and it was that pair of hands on Zane’s waist again...

Natalie blushed, turned her head, and bit Zane on the shoulder.

Zane: ...

"What are you doing now, hmm?"

They had just eaten a bit to fill their stomachs, so she shouldn’t be hungry enough to start eating him.

Natalie glared at him, pulling down the hand he had placed on her waist, and then took it, biting the back of his hand.

Zane: ...

"Are you really so hungry you want to eat me?"

Natalie’s beautiful eyes widened in anger. Who wanted to eat him? What was wrong with Zane? Why does his mind only think about that as soon as things get a little spicy?

Her fierce look left the man baffled, his hand stinging from the bite, but he didn’t dare provoke this little ancestor right now.

After pondering for a while, Zane carefully patted Natalie’s shoulder, a bit tentatively.

"Wait five more minutes for the lamb leg to be done. If you’re hungry, eat something else in the meantime, and don’t bite me again, I’m not edible."

Hearing this, Natalie’s spine stiffened. She looked down into Zane’s eyes for a long while, realizing that they weren’t filled with any emotion related to intimacy.

Could it be that she had misunderstood? That seemed to be the case; if Zane had those thoughts, there would undoubtedly be a clear and deep desire in his eyes.

It turned out she had been suspicious for no reason.

Natalie coughed lightly a few times, attempting to disperse her previous thoughts.

"Put me down."

Zane noticed the slight blush at the corners of her eyes and the evasive look in them as she looked at him, with slightly furrowed brows. Had he missed something? Why was Natalie like this now?

However, seeing that her eyes had him in them again, the man didn’t raise it any further and let her back to her seat to enjoy the rest of the performance.

Not far away, Summer Churchill, watching the interaction between the two, was so excited that she almost jumped up. To prevent herself from making a noise, she held her hand over her mouth.

"Ms. Chandler, Nina and brother-in-law are so sweet."

Zoe Chandler understood immediately.

"Of course, their relationship has taken a step further."

For grown adults, especially as a married couple, having crossed the physical boundary recently, this period is bound to be filled with intimacy and deep affection.

Otherwise, where would the term honeymoon come from?

However, she was a bit surprised. Based on her previous observations of Natalie and Zane, she had thought they got married because of feelings from the start. However, if they had feelings and given what kind of man Zane is, why had it taken them until now...?

Unable to understand and without intending to dig deeper, Zoe Chandler felt that a little surface knowledge of aristocratic matters was enough.

"Ms. Chandler, by the way, brother-in-law has so much strength! He could lift Nina so easily with just one hand, and it looked effortless."

Upon hearing this, Zoe Chandler glanced at Zane’s arms. Thanks to the bonfire, he had taken off his jacket and rolled his sleeves up to the elbows, revealing lean and muscular arms.

With just one look, Zoe Chandler quickly withdrew her gaze.

"Summer, when you’re looking for a man in the future, you can learn from your Nina."

"Huh?"

Smiling, Zoe Chandler looked at the stunned Summer and explained.

"Find someone who has a habit of working out."

Summer didn’t grasp the deeper meaning in Zoe Chandler’s eyes but nodded in simple acceptance.

Meanwhile, Jim Archer, who was drinking on the side, silently looked at his own arms.

Should he increase his workout routine?

Theodore Langdon and Jay Sterling were quite similar in temperament, both open and playful, and in certain ways equally goofy, performing together in perfect harmony.

Playing the electric guitar, Jay Sterling moved towards Theodore Langdon’s side as Theodore picked up the mic stand to join in.

They ended the performance with a loud, throat-splitting shout.

"Happy Birthday, Sis!"

A group of young boys started shouting and becoming lively again.

If not for the fact that she wasn’t feeling well today, Natalie would have undoubtedly joined in the ruckus with them.

Theodore Langdon stepped forward, carrying the aura of a new-generation idol as he approached Natalie Vaughn.

"Sis, do you like this gift?"

Natalie Vaughn narrowed her eyes slightly.

"I like it, but how did you manage to come over?"

She had heard that Theodore Langdon had been super busy with a music program lately.

Theodore Langdon blinked.

"I snuck over and will sneak back later."

As he spoke, Theodore Langdon pulled two tickets out of his pocket.

"Sis, these are for the finale of my program. If you have time, go with Yana."

Natalie looked at Theodore Langdon with a puzzled expression, glanced at the tickets, and when she saw a certain name, her expression paused briefly, then stretched into a casual smile.

"Theo, I like this gift even more."

The address of ’Theo’ made Theodore Langdon shiver, and he instinctively looked at Zane. As expected, Zane’s eyes were like they wanted to devour him.

Theodore Langdon hurriedly whispered a warning.

"Sis, don’t let Mr. Thorne know that you like Jason Lynch."

If Mr. Thorne found out that, knowing Sis’s favorite singer is Jason Lynch, Theo specifically gave her the tickets, he’d surely have his skin peeled off.

Theodore Langdon suddenly regretted that this gift, not being expensive, came with significant risks!

But then, seeing the sparkle in Natalie’s eyes, Theo felt he’d made the right choice.

If Sis is so happy, even if Zane gets jealous, he wouldn’t ignore her feelings, right? With Sis so pleased, he probably wouldn’t suffer too much.

Natalie checked the date; it was next week. She was sure she’d be filming in the crew, but Veridia was quite close to Astra City, so it shouldn’t be a problem to take half a day off.
