Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Chapter 80 Ashton studied Natalie with open admiration . She was truly the embodiment of all that was charming in a woman . Few possessed curves like hers . Natalie's expression frosted over when she sensed his blatant stare , especially when she noticed that his focus was on her chest . " Are you trying to test my patience ? " " You must have a splitting headache right now , Ms. York . Why force yourself to hold it together ? You can loosen up a bit . I'll help you ease your nerves . Let's talk properly once you're less tense . How about it ? " Ashton suggested .

He'd approached her at some point and was now placing his hands on her temples . " Don't touch me ! " Natalie snapped as she stepped back warily . However , she soon let out a pained groan . It felt like her head was about to explode ! " Someone's most likely using the parasitic arts on you . I guess that cousin of yours is taking his revenge for the slap you gave him , " Ashton said . He approached Natalie once more and ushered her into a seated position . Then , he placed his hands on her temples and started massaging them .

" I already told you not to touch- " An involuntary gasp escaped Natalie before she could finish her sentence . She suddenly felt extremely relaxed and comfortable all over . The feeling was akin to drinking a glass of cold water when one's throat was parched . Her body went slack , and she slumped onto the floor . Her legs , covered in black stockings , were crossed in a way that made her look like a mermaid lounging in a pool of water . " Since you insist , Ms. York , I'll stop touching you , " Ashton said , pulling away right when it felt the best for her . " Huh ?

" Natalie bit her lip and glared reproachfully at Ashton . He was doing it on purpose! The moment he stopped massaging her temples , the blissful state of relaxation she'd felt instantly vanished , replaced by the agonizing pain from earlier . " Don't stop ! " " What ? " Ashton deliberately asked . " Keep massaging me ! " Natalie demanded . Smiling , he queried , " Is this the way you ask someone for help , Ms. York ? " After taking in his unreadable expression , Natalie resisted the discomfort and humiliation she felt to say , " Please keep on messaging me . Don't stop ...

" The instant she got those words out , she found it incredulous herself . Being a proud woman , she was the type who'd much rather suffer in silence to uphold her public image . Alas , after experiencing a state of sheer heavenly bliss earlier , she found it impossible to return to a life without it . Ashton's hands returned to her temples . He used a specific method to massage her . At the same time , he gathered a wisp of inner energy and channeled it into her body through her temples .

By doing so , he was able to use the powerful force of the inner energy to suppress the activated parasitic poison . Chapter 80 +25 Bonus Though Natalie tried her best to keep her composure , in the end , she couldn't stop herself from moaning in pleasure . Ten minutes later , Ashton finally withdrew his hands and moved to sit across from her . " We can talk now , Ms. York . " Natalie stared at him with some reluctance . She hadn't fallen for him , of course . However , the massage made her feel lighter , freer , and more relaxed than ever . It'd been many years since she last felt this way .

After composing herself , she realized that she no longer had a headache . Could it be that Ashton was genuinely able to treat her condition ? Natalie no longer dared to underestimate Ashton . She asked solemnly , " Mr. Gray , you said I'm suffering from a parasitic poison , right ? " Adminj
