718 The Couple's Game Plan

Day Seventy-Six...

Nathan was surprised when Jane suddenly barged into his office. "Jane?" He uttered her name. He stopped what he was doing, focusing his gaze on the woman who was staring at him sharply.

"Are you deliberately avoiding me, Nate?" Jane confronted him. She walked toward him with a deep frown on her charming face. She looked upset, pouting her lips.

Nathan was at a loss for words. He didn't know how he would justify himself. He was guilty and Jane caught him lying.

"The cat got your tongue, Mr. Sparks?" Jane mocked him, raising her eyebrow.

'Busted. I'm doomed. Nathan thought to himself as he observed Jane's dark expression. At that certain moment, Nathan knew he had to pacify his woman.

He didn't wait for Jane. He stood up, swiftly closing their gaps. Upon reaching her, he immediately pulled her into a hug. "I miss you." he softly mumbled, planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

He thought he could avoid her. But now that she was standing in front of him, Nathan couldn't possibly ignore her presence. His yearning for her intensified further. He tightened his grip on her body, not wanting to let her go.

Meanwhile, Jane just sighed helplessly before hugging him back. How could she remain upset if Nathan knew how to pacify her like this? But she wouldn't stop asking him.

"Why did you order Axel to lie?" Jane gently pushed him as she gazed up, looking at his eyes.bender

"What? Axel lied to you? Maybe he just misinterpreted my words," Nathan said, feigning innocence.

"Just don't mind him," he added, planting another soft kiss on the tip of her nose. "Come, sit down first." Nathan pulled her toward the couch. He sat down first before he made her sit on his lap.

Jane continued observing him suspiciously. She didn't buy his words. She could sense that Nathan was hiding something from her.

She changed her position on top of Nathan's lap so that she could face him. "Nate, tell me honestly. What is wrong with you? Don't you want to see me today?"

"Of course not. I always want to see you," Nathan promptly responded.

"Then why did you try to avoid meeting me today?" Jane asked him again. She wouldn't stop without getting his answer.

Nathan stayed quiet, contemplating whether he would be honest with her or he would keep it a secret. He didn't want to create a conflict between Mr. Hiroshi and Jane. He thought he had to fix this by himself.

"Sigh!" Jane took a deep breath. She didn't like Nathan's silence. "Nate, I'm going to Country J tomorrow, together with my father. If you don't talk to me now, I'm afraid we will have another misunderstanding."

Nathan's expression changed the moment he heard that. "You are leaving?" He suddenly got worried. What if Mr. Hiroshi forbade Jane from returning to Country M just to separate them?

"Why? What are you going to do there? How long are you going to stay there?" Nathan bombarded her with so many questions.

"You haven't answered my question yet," Jane spat back at him, pouting her lips.

Nathan could no longer hide this from Jane. "Your father hates me. I think... I should win him first before I can meet you. He doesn't want me seeing you. I'm afraid he will hate me more if I go against his will. So for the time being, I choose to obey what he wants." He finally explained his sides.

Jane narrowed her eyes upon hearing that. She knew it! It had something to do with her father. She leaned closer to Nathan and bit his shoulder as part of his punishment!

Nathan just smirked when he felt her teeth on his flesh. He just wrapped his arms around her waist, supporting her back.

"You should have talked to me about this before making a decision. Aren't you afraid that I might misunderstand you?" Jane hit his chest.

"You know! We can always meet behind my father's back." Jane suggested mischievously.

Nathan could only let out a husky laugh.

"Just don't mind him. No one can stop me from seeing you. We can play along for now since our enemies are trying to break us apart by using my father. But I promise... I'll talk to my father." Jane reassured him.

"So you also know?" Nathan asked her in disbelief.

"Of course. Cherry and Hanabi are my loyal friends. The Red Dragon is still trying to sway my father. The Dragon Lord is the one who revealed our past conflict with my father."

Nathan's eyes darkened at her remarks. He somehow suspected that a third party was involved, destroying his relationship with Mr.

Hiroshi. His assumption was right!

"By the way, let's go back to the topic. What will you do in Country J?" Nathan couldn't hide his worry.

"My father wants to introduce me to the members of the Sawada Clan... and according to Cherry... he is planning to announce my engagement with Tatsumi," Jane revealed Mr. Hiroshi's plan to Nathan.

His heart clenched and his expression darkened further at the mention of engagement. He couldn't utter a word because of too much jealousy.

Just imagining Tatsumi and Jane being together was like torture for Nathan. He couldn't accept that.

"Don't go..." Nathan pleaded, his intense gaze directed at Jane.

Jane just smiled at him as she cupped his face once more. "You have nothing to worry about. I'm not marrying Tatsumi. Besides, it's my father's choice, not mine. No one can force me to marry a person I don't like. Tatsumi is just a friend. Do you trust me?"

Nathan heaved a sigh of relief. Jane's words were enough to reassure him. "Yes. I trust you."

"So this is our game plan. We are going to obey my father for the time being. But once you manage to gain his trust back, we will announce our relationship in public. And we can continue seeing each other without his knowledge. Do you agree?" Jane consulted him.

Nathan bobbed his head in response. "But don't get closer to Tatsumi... or any other men."

Jane just chuckled and gave him a peck on his lips before nodding her head.

"Let's focus on dealing with our enemies first," Jane added.

"By the way, Nate... Thank you for avenging me against the King Stallion Mafia. The bombing incident... it was your doing, am I right?" She grabbed this opportunity to express her gratitude to Nathan.

Nathan's expression finally softened. "No need to thank me. They deserve that punishment. I won't forgive them. This is just the start of collecting Vincent and Monica's debts."

"So... you are not upset with me anymore?" Nathan asked her expectantly.

"Hmm. If I'm still upset, do you think I will hug and kiss you like this?" Jane licked her lower lip as her gaze fell on Nathan's lips. "Before I forgot... I came here to give you a reward."

Before Nathan could say a word, Jane already captured his lips, kissing him passionately.

She nibbled on his lower and upper lips alternately. Then she inserted her tongue inside his mouth to explore, licking and tasting him.

Nathan just smirked in between their kisses as he loved her boldness. He just allowed her to take the lead, going with the flow. He wrapped his arms around her body as they deepened the kiss
