Chapter 240


    Chapter 240 Tell Me, J


    J’s pupils constricted at the moment she saw Nathaniel. She then looked away.


    J ignored his sarcasm and sneered, “This is something new to me that you are actually a stalker,


    Mr.


    Webster. But I’m not that surprised to see your despicable side.”


    Nathaniel strode forward and grabbed J’s wrist, pulling her to a corner.


    The rose bushes filled the air with an alluring and slightly sweet fragrance. Before J could say


    anything,


    Nathaniel covered her mouth with his hand.


    Standing in the middle of the dark red roses and thorny bushes, Nathaniel lowered his eyes and looked

    into


    J’s wide-open eyes. His heart was beating extremely fast.


    It thumped so quickly as if it was about to jump out of his throat.


    J’s struggle somehow amused him. Nathaniel’s thin lips curved slightly, and a fleeting smile shed


    across his eyes. But soon, it hid behind the ck pupils in his narrow eyes.


    Nathaniel lowered his voice and said, “Don’t move. I just have a few questions for you.”


    He released J gently and stared at her.


    J’s anger hadn’t subsided yet. She red at him with her watery almond-shaped eyes and tried to


    leave


    right away.


    “J Longfellow!” Nathaniel stopped her, almost shouting.


    Nathaniel grabbed J’s wrist again, and he was almost exasperated. “How many things have you


    been


    hiding from me?”


    J paused and turned around to give him a meaningful look, raising her eyebrows.


    She gave him a half-smile, which looked more like a sneer. “What’s wrong with you, Mr. Webster?


    What do you mean by that? Who are you to ask me this? We are not that close, right?


    “Don’t forget that we have already divorced. It is not your ce to tell me what to do. Also, don’t be


    nosy in my


    business unless you want to see things get ugly.”


    The moment she saw Nathaniel, J knew what he was there for.


    Her team won against Nathaniel’s team in thepetition today. Of course he woulde to her to


    vent his


    anger.


    Moreover, Nathaniel still tried to hire Xipil. How could he not be anxious now?


    J guessed with ill meaning, wondering if Nathaniel had noticed what she did and started to suspect


    her.


    If Nathaniel found out that she was actually Xipil, then he would understand that he would never get


    Xipil to


    work for him.


    This kind of malicious thought made J feel much better after she saw Nathaniel.

    However, the cold look in J’s eyes made Nathaniel feel a sudden sharp pain in his heart.


    The J he used to know disappeared.


    “You can speak sixnguages and you know how to hack aputer. When did you learn all these?”


    Nathaniel said word by word, his voice getting hoarse, “Tell me, Janel.”


    J’s gaze sharpened instantly.


    She looked at Nathaniel and said coldly, “Don’t J me, Mr. Webster. It’s Ms. Longfellow!”


    The corners of Nathaniel’s eyes became redder. He seemed to turn a deaf ear to J’s scold and


    mutter to


    himself, “I watched the video of you in thepetition… What is the rtionship between you and


    Xipil?


    “What else have you been hiding from me?


    “Why didn’t you say a word in the past? Why did you just… You just keep it from me?”


    In the past, Nathaniel always thought that J was nothing but a scheming moron, so he was always


    indifferent to her. But now, everything he had believed waspletely changed, which made him feel


    so


    surreal.


    He seemed to have missed a lot of things.


    Seeing the pain sh in Nathaniel’s eyes, J sneered, Why should I tell you?”


    The wariness and disgust in J’s eyes stabbed Nathaniel’s heart.


    “How dare you talk to me like this?” He grabbed J’s chin, and a vicious and fierce look came into


    his eyes.


    As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the low voices of men and women from the side. It seemed


    that


    there was someone else nearby.


    Soon, the two voices tailed off and turned into the sound of kissing and teasing. It stimted Nathaniel,


    who


    was on the verge of copse.


    He approached closer and looked at J’s beautiful face, being in a trance for a moment.


    The moment their breaths intertwined, Nathaniel noticed J’s tension and restlessness.


    “You are a liar,” he said in frustration, rubbing J’s lower jaw with his finger, feeling the delicate


    touch of it.


    J was burning with anger.


    But Nathaniel was too strong for her to break free, not to mention that there were strangers around.


    If someone else saw her with Nathaniel here…


    With thest bit of patience, J said in a low voice, “In the past, you never gave me the chance to


    say


    anything. And now, I don’t want to say anything more. If you think that I lied to you, just call the police,


    Mr.


    Webster.”


    She nced at the two strangers in the rose bushes and said in a lower voice, “Be sane, Nathaniel. Let


    go of


    me!”

    Nathaniel’s gaze shifted from J’s eyes to her red lips, and his Adam’s apple rolled upside down


    slightly.


    Right at that moment, the elevator nearby rang.


    J instantly saw Nigel’s back.


    “Her eyes lit up slightly, and she was about to call out to him.


    Nathaniel could tell who she saw, and the anger and inexplicable jealousy in his heart surged up in an


    instant.


    He was so angry that he sealed J’s lips with his without hesitation.
