Chapter 398 Natasha continued softly , But what if it wasnt you today , but someone else ? Someone who defeated me so easily and pinned me down what do you think would have happened to me then ? Without waiting for Andrews response , she gave a bitterugh .


    Ive walked the edge of destruction countless times to reach this position .


    Though Ive always refused to trade my body for power , believing that true strengthes from within , a widow like me often doesnt have many choices .


    If you believe in that , then why are you so determined to give yourself to me ? Andrew asked .


    Natasha wiped away her tears and gave him a tender look .


    You really are clueless ! When others desire my body , I want them gone , but with you , Im willing because theres only one reason I genuinely care for you ! Her eyes grew softer and more mncholic as she continued .


    And now , seeing your true strength , I want to give myself to someone I truly submit to .


    It would make me happy to finally let down my guard with a man who has earned both my respect and can protect me .


    Andrew felt his face grow unusually warm .


    Natashas words had touched something in him , helping him understand her struggles and why she was so determined to win his affection .


    Dont worry , Ill protect you from now on ; no one will dare bully you , Andrew said with a smile , his respect for her growing .


    Before , Natasha had always struck him as cunning and ruthless , the kind of woman you could never fully trust .


    But now , he had glimpsed a softer side of her .


    It turned out she was not just a cold , calcting leader she was also someone with a deeply passionate and genuine nature .


    Natasha scoffed .


    Ive heard too many empty promises from men over the years to believe them anymore .


    Darling , either ept mepletely , or know that while you may control me on the surface , you wont have my true loyalty .


    You need to understand that rtionships arent games , Andrew said seriously .


    Are you certain this is what you want ? Natashas face flushed as she lowered her head shyly .


    Im certain I want you to take me right now .


    I can tell what kind of man you are , and I know Ill never regret being with you ! Andrew took a deep breath , realizing he had run out of ways to dissuade this widow .


    However , could he really ept her proposal ? Dont worry , Natasha whispered , biting her lip .


    I wont cause you trouble .


    A man like you .


    will surely meet countless women more beautiful , gentle , and aplished than me .


    Im not asking for exclusivity I just want to be one of your women ! Andrew found himself at a genuine loss , wondering if he should ept her .


    It was truly a difficult decision .
