Chapter 150 Mr. Rogers, No Need to Be So Defensive
Nathaniel Hart intentionally left the tablet on, making sure Emiliano Rogers saw the video.
Nathaniel wanted to gauge Emiliano’s reaction to the video.
As expected, Nathaniel caught a glimpse of shock and a fleeting moment of panic in Emiliano’s eyes.
Nathaniel, rarely initiating conversation with Emiliano, asked, “What’s wrong? Mr. Rogers, you seem quite surprised.”
Emiliano looked at Nathaniel and said, “Mr. Hart, you might have misunderstood.”
He quickly composed himself and headed towards the kitchen.
Seeing him retreat like that, Nathaniel chuckled softly.

Nathaniel played the video again, focusing on Sofia’s kick. It was impressively swift and powerful!
But Nathaniel quickly noticed something else.
He slowed the video down and zoomed in.
Sure enough, he spotted a small preparatory movement from Sofia–a slight tap of her toes.
A very subtle action, which would be impossible to notice without careful observation.
Nathaniel recognized this move, it was familiar.
A playful glint flashed in his eyes.
About six years ago, his men were ambushed at the border by a masked woman who defeated them all.
His men were elite fighters, each capable of handling themselves alone.

Yet, this woman had taken them all down.

Nathaniel had reviewed the surveillance footage, studying the woman’s techniques.
He noticed her subtle toe–tapping move before each strike.
If the speed wasn’t slowed down, it would be impossible to see.

Especially since every move she made afterward was fast, precise, and fierce, making it impossible to associate her with such a tiny action.
It was a distinctive signature, one he remembered well.
Despite extensive research, he never found that woman again.
To see it now in Sofia intrigued him. His Sofia had more surprises than he anticipated.
They had a connection long before he realized.
Nathaniel smiled to himself, suddenly wanting to spar with Sofia.
He wondered if she’d be able to bring herself to fight him.
In the kitchen, Emiliano Rogers pulled out his phone and sent a message to Sofia.
“You said you wouldn’t fight anymore. What happened today? Do you are exposed now?”

Sofia, likely in surgery, didn’t respond immediately.
Emiliano, anxious and frustrated, sighed, unsure what else to do.
Did this woman realize what kind of trouble she would cause if her video of kicking someone got out?
Emiliano really didn’t want Sofia to attract any more attention from any faction.
After all, the past attempt on her life had been catastrophic.
Had she not faked her death, she would still be hunted.
Emiliano just wanted Sofia to lead a quiet, happy life without getting entangled in past

With no reply from Sofia, he put his concerns aside for now and focused on his kitchen tasks.
Nathaniel’s daily menu was always curated by Sofia, tailored to his tastes and nutritional needs.
As Emiliano reviewed the menu Sofia had sent, Nathaniel walked in, leaning against the doorframe, observing Emiliano’s worried expression.
“Mr. Rogers, is something troubling you?” Nathaniel asked.
Emiliano quickly turned off his phone’s screen and looked at Nathaniel, “Mr. Hart, what are you referring to?”
“You seem concerned about something. Let me guess, are you worried about my Nathaniel said.
wife?”
Emiliano frowned, his tone turning cold, “I don’t understand what Mr. Hart is implying.”
“Really?” Nathaniel smirked. He shifted the conversation, “Mr. Rogers, you recently returned to the country, correct?”
Emiliano’s alarm bells went off, his guard up even more.
He remained silent, watching Nathaniel, waiting for his next move.
“It’s just a casual chat, Mr. Rogers. No need to be so defensive,” Nathaniel said with a smile.
Emiliano stayed silent, feeling that Nathaniel’s sudden interest in chatting meant trouble.
Talking too much could lead to mistakes, so he opted for silence.
Nathaniel wasn’t upset by Emiliano’s attitude.
Instead, he smiled more broadly, “I’m just curious. As far as I know, my wife has always lived with the Schneider family, while you’ve been abroad. How did you come to know her

He feigned a puzzled look.

Emiliano’s temples throbbed with irritation. He wanted to ask Sofia where she found such an infuriating husband.
Nathaniel continued, “Mr. Rogers, don’t feel uncomfortable. You know, I just want to know more about my wife. Our relationship didn’t develop through conventional means, from dating to marriage naturally. I feel I owe her a lot, so I want to understand her better to care for her more.”
Emiliano laughed lightly, “Mr. Hart is quite thoughtful.”
“So, Mr. Rogers, since you’ve known my wife for so long,” Nathaniel paused, “would you mind telling me more about her?”
Emiliano replied, “Mr. Hart, my understanding of Sofia is purely as a friend. I don’t have the insights of a lover, and I think you wouldn’t want me to, would you?”
He threw the ball back to Nathaniel, confident that Nathaniel, being so possessive, wouldn’t want to hear about Sofia from another man.
