sting.
Sofia protested, “If you don’t want me to stay in this room, I can just leave.”
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes, baffled at how such a smart girl could sometimes be so dense.
He really wanted to open her head and see what was inside.
Was she missing some parts that made her say such frustrating things?
“Just pack what you need for tonight. We’ll deal with the rest tomorrow,” Nathaniel instructed.
Sofia nodded and obediently began gathering her belongings.
Seeing her so compliant, Nathaniel felt his frustration subside.
At least she was being cooperative, which helped him feel less discouraged.
Otherwise, he would really start to doubt whether their mutual understanding was just his imagination.
Sofia quickly finished packing her essentials and looked at Nathaniel. “Let’s go.”
She was curious to see where he planned to take her.
Without saying much, Nathaniel took her hand and led her towards the main building.
His room was on the third floor. As they entered, Sofia was struck by the elegance of the space.
The decor was entirely different from the rest of the estate, exuding a unique charm.
Sofia had been part of the Hart family for some time but had never been in this room before. She looked around and asked, “Did you design this yourself?”
Nathaniel nodded. “All the bedrooms are designed by their occupants.

Sofia wasn’t curious about the other bedrooms but wondered about Charley Hart’s.
That peculiar girl probably had an interesting style, but Sofia knew she’d never get to see it.
Bedrooms were private spaces, and Charley disliked her too much to ever invite her in.
Thinking about it, Sofia felt a bit regretful.
After a quick tour of Nathaniel’s bedroom, Sofia realized something.
She looked at Nathaniel with a puzzled expression and asked, “Why did you bring me here?”
As soon as she asked, Nathaniel’s expression darkened.
Before she could figure out why he was upset, Nathaniel suddenly bent down, scooped her up, and carried her over to the couch.
Sofia yelped, and the next moment she was sitting on the couch, with Nathaniel standing over her, looking down with intense eyes.
Sofia swallowed nervously, trying to maintain a calm exterior despite her racing heart.
No one had ever carried her like this before. Even when she was rescued from the brink of death, it was a rough, practical kind of handling.
A princess carry had never been part of her experience.
But now, Nathaniel did it.
Her fingers curled involuntarily, and she forced herself to glare at Nathaniel.
“Nathaniel! You’re not listening to me!” she said, her voice tinged with annoyance but sounding more like a playful scold due to her rapid heartbeat.
Even though she tried to act fierce, it only made her look cuter.
Nathaniel smirked and said, “Sofia, I think you’re lying to me.”
Sofia’s eyes widened, feeling a pang of guilt. She knew what Nathaniel was hinting at.
She had been making him rest longer than necessary, using his recovery as an excuse.

His defiance in carrying her had caught her off guard.

Raising her chin defiantly, Sofia said, “Are you saying you don’t trust me? Do you think I’d go through all the trouble of healing you just to manipulate you?”
Nathaniel was taken aback. He hadn’t even accused her directly, and Sofla was already on the defensive.
He realized that arguing with her might not be the best approach.
“Sofia, don’t get upset. I just want to talk about two things,” Nathaniel said, his tone calming.
Sofia stopped her feigned anger, ready to listen to what he had to say.
Nathaniel continued, “First, we’re married. Now that my health has improved, do you think I’ll continue to sleep in separate rooms?”
Sofia nodded in agreement.
Indeed, they were a married couple, and it made sense to share a room.
But…
“But haven’t we gotten used to it?” she said, voicing her concern.
Nathaniel’s face darkened. “Who’s gotten used to it? Certainly not me.”
He really needed to understand what was going on in her head.
This was beyond frustrating.
“And the second thing?” Sofia prompted.
Nathaniel’s gaze deepened. “Sofia, some things are inevitable. I know my own body’s condition. It’s not as weak as you think. Exaggerating my recovery isn’t helping.”
Sofia’s face turned dark with embarrassment.
She knew she had been overly cautious, but hearing Nathaniel call her out on it was frustrating.

“Fine, do whatever you want. If you feel unwel I’ll just have to perform another surgery,”
she said.
Nathaniel chuckled, his eyes softening.
In that moment, he really felt like Sofia was just a little girl.
“Alright, to make sure you don’t have to go through any more trouble, I’ll take it easy. Does that sound good?” he said gently.
