Chapter 24 Sofia, She Pinched You
As soon as Sofia walked through the door of the Hart family home, she ran into Charley.
Charley gave her a big eye roll, snorted, and then ran off.
Sofia watched Charley’s back, feeling helpless dealing with the spoiled girl.
She went to her room, put her things away, and then headed to Nathaniel’s room.
That morning, Nathaniel had lost his temper during a massage.
Sofia found it frustrating but still needed to play the role of a good wife.
As soon as she entered, she met Nathaniel’s playful, inquisitive eyes.
Sofia was now even more certain that Nathaniel had caught her sneaking around his room at night.
Chapter unlocked!
But since he wasn’t calling her out, she would continue to play dumb.
She walked over, her eyes innocent and her voice soft, “Mr. Hart, how are you feeling today? Let me give you a massage.”
Nathaniel’s lips curled slightly. “Not bad.”
Sofia feigned surprise. “Did something good happen? You seem to be in a good mood. today.”
“I found a very cunning cat. It’s amusing. I want to play with her more,” Nathaniel said.
Sofia’s hand, which was lifting the blanket, clenched into a small fist.

If not for the distraction, she might have punched Nathaniel.
He just called her a cat, a cunning cat!
Sofia thought it was a miracle she hadn’t killed him, considering he was a patient.
She pulled back the blanket, revealing Nathaniel’s left leg.

“Mr. Hart, I’m really sorry about last night. I thought you were resting, so I didn’t come. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a good massage and make up said.

Nathaniel watched her, amused.
She was pretending to be obedient and docile, as if he could do anything to her.
“No need for that. Just do what you’re supposed to do every day,” he said.
Sofia pressed her lips together, irritated by Nathaniel’s blatant sarcasm.
Did she look that dumb, like she couldn’t understand his veiled insults?
She laughed awkwardly and stayed silent, focusing on the massage.
But she couldn’t help herself and secretly pinched Nathaniel’s calf.
After all, he couldn’t feel pain, so she could do as she pleased.
Little did Sofia know, Nathaniel’s gaze had been on her legs the entire time. Although it was hard to see her actions from his angle, he had outside help.
He had instructed Kyler to describe Sofia’s every move to him.
Nathaniel heard Kyler’s voice in his earpiece, “Mr. Hart, Miss Schneider pinched you.”
Kyler’s voice was low, filled with fear of being blamed.
Nathaniel squinted, his gaze fixed on Sofia’s face.
Sofia, feeling uneasy under his stare, pretended to adjust his pants and moved to the other side to massage his other leg.
Nathaniel suddenly said, “Since we’re married now, you can’t take advantage of my condition to bully me.”
Sofia paused, confused, and asked with a nervous laugh, “What do
you mean?”
“I’ve heard some masseuses are unethical.”
They get frustrated with the physical work and take it out on patients who can’t move. Like pinching or twisting them, knowing the patient can’t feel anything. It’s like a lamb to the

slaughter,” Nathaniel said.
Sofia’s heart raced,
If she didn’t know for sure that Nathaniel was truly paralyzed from the neck down, she’d think he was faking.
Sofia laughed. “That would never happen! Everyone here is kind, and those unethical masseuses you mentioned lack morals. I’m not a masseuse; I’m a doctor. I have the kindest heart and would never harm my patients.”
Nathaniel listened to her earnest nonsense, not a hint of guilt on her face.
If Kyler hadn’t confirmed her actions, he might have believed her lies.
He chuckled, “I hope so.”
Sofia continued to smile innocently, almost raising her hand to swear she would never do such things.
Nathaniel’s gaze deepened but he said no more.
His look, however, seemed to tell Sofia he had her figured out.
Sofia bit her lip lightly, refraining from any more mischief, and gave him a proper
massage.
Still, she made a mental note to herself about Nathaniel.
She would tell her friends that eight hundred million wasn’t enough; she needed one point six billion.
After all, she would be investigating herself.
She’d have her friends create some fake information to give to Nathaniel.
Sofia had no idea that while she was plotting to scam Nathaniel out of one point six billion, Nathaniel had a completely different plan in mind.
