My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 696

"Because I am the daughter of the leader of Rovio?" Karen Joy Kyle pursed her cracked lips and smiled gently. "Is that really the case?"

She tried very hard to smile elegantly, but you could notice that she was fighting hard to not cry. Her smile was crooked and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Otherwise, what do you think it is?" There was a faint smile on Nathaniel Cooper's face. He spoke so calmly like he was unbothered. If you did not notice his clenched fists, you would think that he was heartless.

"I see." Karen Joy gave a brief answer and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she looked very calm.

Her father was the famous leader of Rovio Corporation Inc, so as the President of this country, Nathaniel visited her out of respect.

What was he up to?

He only wanted Rovio to invest in his country and drive the economy of Country A. Then, as the newly-appointed President, he could bask in the glory.

This was a good explanation for the President’s motive now. This must be his ulterior motive. He had to care for her because she was special.

Karen Joy looked at his beautiful face and his strong jawline. She noticed the smile he put on that looked like he was disguising his true emotions.

He was clearly her Brother Lionel, but he was not willing to reunite with her... Why?

Karen Joy tried very hard to make sense of everything, but she could not find an answer.

Perhaps too much time had passed. Brother Lionel who loved her so much was no longer the same Brother Lionel anymore.

She was too naive. She had always missed him and thought of him. She thought that he would miss her too, which apparently did not happen.

"So that's your reason?" She bit her lips and asked again. She wanted to give him another chance.

"Yes," he answered quickly and firmly.

At this moment, Karen Joy’s heart sank tremendously and she felt like she had lost a part of her heart. It was probably the innocence she once had.

"Cough cough..." She was so agitated that she started coughing. It seemed that she choked on something and she could not stop coughing. Her cough was getting worse and she looked like she was in a lot of pain.

Nathaniel reached out his hand and wanted to pat her on the back. But before he could touch her, she pushed him away.

She glared at him. "Go away. Don't touch me!"

Since he didn't want to be her "Brother Lionel", she would prefer that he just keep his distance. She did not want to see him again.

"Lit..." He almost blurted out her childhood name on impulse, but he stopped just in time.

Nathaniel looked at her before he stood up. Then, he walked to the door.

He was walking to the door and when he heard Karen Joy's voice behind him. "Brother Lionel..."

He stopped walking forward and he stood still for a while. However, he did not turn around to see her.

"I want to make things clear. If you don't want to admit that you once knew me before you walk out of this door today, you will no longer be my Brother Lionel anymore." Karen Joy gritted her teeth. She meant every word she said, and she was giving him an ultimatum.

His heart suddenly ached, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He did not have the strength to move forward. He smiled gently and said, "I never was your Brother Lionel."
