Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 226: Just Look at Me

Leo Chandler and Natalie Vaughn share a similarity in their love for making deals, so when Natalie said this, Leo readily agreed.

"Alright, I’ll tell you, but you have to tell me how you managed to win over Zane Thorne."

Hearing this, Natalie furrowed her brows slightly. Leo, noticing her reaction, thought she was unwilling and shrugged, about to drop the subject, but Natalie spoke up.

"Why couldn’t it be Zane Thorne who won me over?"

Natalie noticed the issue too. Among most of her friends regarding her relationship with Zane, they always asked how she managed to win Zane over. Why, did she seem that easy to tame compared to Zane?

Leo raised an eyebrow, letting out a light laugh at Natalie’s response.

"Ahem, let me rephrase. How did Zane manage to win you over?"

Indeed, from Leo’s perspective, Zane was someone who never liked women getting close. In all the years he’s known him, he’s never seen Zane with a woman. Suddenly getting married and having a great relationship with his new wife, Leo instinctively thought that it must have been the girl who did something to win Zane over.

Natalie’s suggestion wasn’t impossible. What if Zane suddenly found love and actively pursued a young girl? However, Leo thought that was less likely. From his observation, Zane’s wife looked cute and obedient, but the determination in her eyes couldn’t be ignored.

It was as if when she set her sights on something, she would find a way to have it. That’s why he asked that question.

On the surface, aren’t they the typical little bunny and big bad wolf?

Natalie pondered for a moment. Between her and Zane, it was hard to say who won over whom. It always felt like they were both seducing and going after each other.

But facing Leo’s curiosity, Natalie went with the flow.

"That face."

Leo: ... Well, that’s simple and straightforward, but makes sense.

"And the way he smokes."

Leo: .... Hiss, that’s quite a unique liking.

"He’s got a nice body too, very sexy."

Leo: ... Seems like lust really is the primary drive.

Having lived abroad for so many years, Leo was used to being direct with people. Since returning, the hardest part was talking to some of the women in his family, where after talking for a long time, it wasn’t clear what they wanted to say.

Natalie was the first to be so frank. He liked making friends with honest people. So Leo briefly spoke about Gideon Sheffield’s situation over the past five years.

Because of Aaron Channing, Natalie was not unfamiliar with some psychological terms. The biggest difference between Gideon Sheffield and other patients should be...

"He’s hiding something from me. I’ve spent five years and haven’t gotten a word out of him."

Natalie frowned.

"So, that’s the root of his illness."

Leo nodded, thinking about Zane Thorne’s time in Altara, and added another comment.

"His feelings towards Zane Thorne are complicated."

This left Natalie confused. She didn’t understand how Gideon’s feelings towards Zane could be complicated.

Wasn’t it just about love or hate?

Natalie probed further, but Leo couldn’t offer a definite answer.

"It’s just a feeling. After all, we weren’t there when he talked with Zane, and when he chats with me, it’s different from when he chats with Zane. Why don’t you ask Zane? Maybe he also sensed something."

Natalie pursed her lips and nodded.

"By the way, can I ask another question?"

"Of course."

"How did you instantly hit it off with Julian Sutton?"

Leo raised an eyebrow, examined Natalie, and saw the understanding and curiosity in her eyes, gesturing her to come closer before leaning in himself.

"It’s just magnetic fields. I can tell in an instant if someone is one of us."

"Is there a special aura about them?"

Why didn’t she feel that way when she first met Julian Sutton?

"Mmm, only we can feel it."

So Natalie didn’t ask further. The magnetic fields between people differ. She wasn’t part of that circle in the first place, and knowing little about it, she naturally wouldn’t understand their magnetic fields and rules.

After the chat, Leo went off to hang out with Jason Lynch, and Natalie spaced out, staring at them for a while.

Until a familiar warmth and grip came to her waist, and a man’s deep voice sounded, tinged with jealousy.

"Keep looking, and I’ll kick them out directly."

With so many people here today, Natalie hadn’t had the time to explain clearly to Zane about Julian Sutton’s relationship with Caleb Lawson, and sure enough, Julian’s words came true; Zane was really jealous of Jason Lynch.

The jealousy was quite strong.

Natalie leaned into the man’s embrace, looking up at him and suddenly laughed.

Zane was momentarily stunned, then pursed his lips, looking down.

"Don’t think you can brush it off with just a smile."

Natalie pinched Zane’s hand, stood on tiptoe, and whispered a few words in his ear. Zane’s brows furrowed tightly at first, then relaxed, but finally knitted slightly.

His broad hand slapped Natalie’s butt.

"Even so, you’re not allowed to watch."

Natalie: ... Possessiveness is one thing, but why spank her butt?

Natalie, at times, has a stronger rebellious streak when told not to do something. Even knowing the consequences, pride makes her go against the grain.

So what if she watched?

Zane could indulge Natalie in other matters, but absolutely not in this one. Seeing her still staring, he simply bent down and hoisted her up, in front of all those people.

Natalie: ... !!!!! Zane has lost it! There are so many people here! Where’s her dignity?

So, amid everyone’s stunned gazes, Natalie covered her face.

Everyone: ...

Julian Sutton seemed to have anticipated it.

"I told you it would be like this, but Natalie just wouldn’t believe it."

Upon hearing this, Jason Lynch and Leo Chandler both looked at him.

Julian raised his hand and rubbed his chin.

"Natalie’s husband is jealous of the three of us."

Jason found it hard to believe, but Leo thought it made some sense. He was good at judging men, and with someone like Zane, a strong possessive nature was very normal.

"Maybe it’s because we’re too handsome."

Julian Sutton: ... He didn’t buy that. Natalie had told him that Zane was her type. Zane’s jealousy was simply because they were male and Natalie was watching them.

He was self-aware.

So, what was the point of Natalie having him bring Jason along? She hadn’t even come over to talk with Caleb Lawson, barely glanced and then was carried off by her husband.

Tsk, is Natalie the ruler or the underling at home?

Over there, Zane carried Natalie to a private room, scowling displeased.

"Are they better looking than me?"

"No."

"Then why are you watching them? Just watch me."

Natalie: ...

She couldn’t be bothered to explain to this jealous tank.

"By the way, when you were chatting with Gideon Sheffield before, did you notice anything off?"
