Love Beyond the Pages

His First Woman

What an extravagant hobby!

But she couldn't afford his hobby of tearing clothes apart; she had to save until she earned Brooks's cooperation back.

Isabella thought she had to discuss his "bedroom hobby" with him.

Wait a minute! There won't be any more sleeping together, therefore there won't be tearing clothes apart anymore! So why should she talk to him about this matter? Just forget all of it!

Isabella rummaged through her clothes for minutes and finally pulled out a loose white T-shirt and a pair of old navy jeans.

She stood in front of the mirror and took a look at herself.

The girl in the full-length mirror exuded a natural charm with her beauty.

After admiring herself in the mirror, Isabella finally opened the door and stepped out.

As soon as she opened the door, she smelled something. She walked out and saw the dining table filled with various breakfast choices. From Mexican to Chinese cuisine, the breakfast is arranged like a five-star luxury hotel service.

The bathroom door suddenly opened.

Nathan, wearing only a pink towel around his waist, stepped out. His hair was still wet, and water droplets slowly slid down his well-defined chessboard-like muscles.

What the hell is this fatal seductive scene of him!!!

Isabella felt a rush of heat in her nostrils.

"Bella!" Nathan frowned as if facing a severe matter and walked over briskly.

Isabella covered her nose, feeling a bit dizzy. Damn it! This guy is too… "I'm getting a nosebleed just from seeing all this?" Isabella murmured.

OHHH!! It's too embarrassing!!!

Quick! Give her a hole to crawl into!

"Don't come over!" Isabella covered her nose with one hand and made a "forbidding" gesture towards Nathan with the other hand.

Nathan stood a step away from Isabella with his eyebrows furrowed.

"I'm alright, it's just a sudden rush of blood, you…how about you put on some clothes… Before I bleed to death…"

Nathan paused for a moment, then understood what was going on here.

When Nathan returned to the bedroom, he felt a little dazed. He touched his chest muscles and suddenly burst out laughing. She…had a nosebleed from seeing his body…?

Nathan was utterly overwhelmed by his wife's cuteness.

After he changed into a set of pajamas, Nathan opened the bedroom door and walked out. Isabella had already stuffed tissues into her nostrils, looking utterly dispirited. When she saw him coming out, she covered her face with her hand and quickly turned her head away.

"Probably, it would be best for us in the future…" Isabella pretended to be calm and wanted to ask him to dress appropriately at her home in the future.

"I promise you, it won't happen again…" Nathan interrupted her.

Isabella looked at him in shock. "In the future, you…need to dress more properly for me, none of today's nonsense can happen anymore.."

"But… you can't let me shower with my clothes on…" Nathan's voice was charming, especially now when he said all this with a smile.

Isabella almost nodded in agreement.

"Okay, but after you finish showering, you have to change into proper clothes, and also, don't use pink towels… pink does not suit you well…" Her words got stuck in her throat.

What on earth was she saying about!!! The color of the towels does not matter here!!

"Forget it… did you order breakfast?" Isabella gave up struggling with towels and clothes.

"Yeah, I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little bit of everything." Nathan walked over and sat across from Isabella. He had beautiful eyes like a peach blossom, pure as obsidian, looking at Isabella now with complete innocence.

At one point, Isabella wondered if the guy from last night was really him…

Maybe he had multiple personalities…?

"Try everything, and see which one suits your taste best," Nathan said eagerly.

Even though he was a full-grown man, why did he look so expectant, like a puppy, not pretentious or off-putting, but relatively pure and adorable?

Isabella thought that she couldn't handle all this…this kind of allure of innocence and handsomeness.

She can't resist it at all.

But who can resist it anyway?

This guy is definitely a bug created by the author herself, right? Has the author of this book forgotten something? A gem like this man, and still, he was not the book's male lead. Instead, the author let someone like Andrew be the male lead.

"Wait… all of this must cost a lot of money, right?" Soon, Isabella brought her back from her thoughts to reality.

"It's alright." Nathan paused for a moment. He's not the king of a business empire with endless wealth, but a poor man who lives by selling his body. Nathan quickly shifted into the character mode,

"As long as you like to eat, it doesn't matter how much it costs…I can afford all of this."

"Nathan, I'm actually not as rich as you think, I still haven't get my family business back, we… can't be so extravagant and wasteful. Can we not buy this kind of everything in the future…?"

With Nathan's looks, his customers must be willing to spend thousands of dollars on him… He must eat this kind of high-level luxury breakfast regularly. Since he married Isabella, his standard of living must have decreased significantly…with her not so rich…

Thinking about it, she can't scold him harshly since she already lied to him about her being rich…

Looking at Isabella's big and sparking eyes, Nathan's heart melted. At this moment, even if she asked him to pick a star from the sky, he would probably buy a rocket and fly to the sky and pick a star immediately.

He was completely mesmerized by her eyes.

"Okay." Nathan nodded, being extremely obedient and polite.

"I'll make breakfast for you, although it won't be as luxurious as these, but it'll still be delicious." Seeing Nathan's obedient look, Isabella's heart melted again.

Shouldn't such a big, puppy-like, handsome man be pampered and loved?

Why did the author of this book make him a gigolo, selling his body to make his living? Let such an angel fall… what a lack of humanity.

Little did Isabella know, this big puppy-like innocent man she found so adorable, in the eyes of everyone else except her, was a terrifying existence, an iron-hearted man.

"In that case, you will be too tired… Why don't you teach me how to cook, and I'll cook breakfast for you every day." Nathan said seriously.

For Isabella, he was willing to learn everything he didn't know before.

------------------------------------------------------------------------One Hour Later------------------------------------------------------------------

Isabella looked at this almost blown-up kitchen, feeling slightly dizzy again.

She looked at the disheveled Nathan.

With a smoked black face, Nathan still believed that there was nothing in this world he couldn't conquer; he said, "Let's try this again!" He thought he could master everything, including skills in this little kitchen.

"I can cook for both of us, trust me!" Isabella couldn't bear it anymore. If she let Nathan continue to cook like this, she wouldn't have this little apartment anymore! The kitchen would also be burnt in the end.

Nathan looked at Isabella with his eyes filled with guilt. "I…"

Isabella's anger vanished instantly as she looked at his puppy-like eyes and how he lowered them.

Look how scared she had made him; oh, poor thing, Isabella thought quietly.

"It's okay, come on, let's go out." Isabella smiled gently, holding Nathan's hands in hers, slowly leading him out of the kitchen.

"Everyone has their shortcomings, maybe not being able to cook is yours… Don't be embarrassed of yourself, you have done a lot for me, right? I'll just work harder and earn more money. You won't have to cook for me in the future, and I'll be able to buy you everything you want to eat."

"Really!" Nathan's gaze lingered on the hands held by Isabella, and the corners of his mouth curved up uncontrollably.

"I'll try my best, promise me, don't enter the kitchen in the future. Look at your beautiful hands, they're so beautiful. How can I let the greasy fumes in the kitchen tarnish them?" Isabella was somewhat exaggerating, but Nathan's hands were beautiful, like a pianist.

His fingers were long and slim, and his knuckles were distinct and slender. His nails were neatly trimmed and clean, and his palms were cold but somewhat smooth at the same time.

Hmmm, why were his hands so cold? Did she scare him too much just now?

Isabella thought, unable to resist grabbing his hand and putting it near her lips; then her rationality woke up again; with her still holding his hands, she froze at the moment.

Isabella!!

What the hell was she trying to do there?

"Your hands are a bit cold, I just thought about warming them up for you…" Isabella tried to act calm and explain to Nathan why she put his hands near her lips. After she gained her rationality back, she tried to let go of Nathan's hands.

But he instantly grabbed her hands back: "It's not warm yet, help me…warm them…"

Nathan watched Isabella's face turn red bit by bit.

Isabella was going crazy in her head; in this situation, neither warming nor not warming his hands was the appropriate thing to do!

So why did she want to blow on his hand just now?

"Okay, but just this time…" Isabella said hesitantly.

"Mm." Nathan responded softly.

Hearing this "Mm", Isabella almost had another nosebleed because of shyness.

Then, after quickly blowing on his hands, she said, "Okay, you can let go now."

"Bella, you are so good to me. No one has ever cared for me in this way before." Nathan looked at her, "This… is your reward for being so good to me."

After speaking, Nathan's hand moved around Isabella's neck, clasping the back of her head, and he leaned down to kiss Isabella on her lips.

It felt like all the surrounding sounds disappeared instantly; all they could hear was each other's heartbeat racing fast.

Isabella's soul flew out wholly. The kiss on the bed earlier didn't count, but this one… was Isabella's first kiss.

Nathan was patient, step by step, gently guiding Isabella to kiss him back.

Isabella let go of her consciousness and only instinctively followed Nathan, fully immersing herself in this kiss.

As time passed by, when Nathan finally released her lips, Isabella was already on the verge of suffocation. Her hands and feet were weak due to lack of strength. She couldn't stand anymore, so she held onto Nathan's arms, breathing fresh air in big gulps.

Shot!

Was it such a waste of her not dating in real life? Is kissing this amazing?

Isabella couldn't resist asking Nathan to do it again.

"Thank you." Nathan looked at Isabella, whose face was flushed, and spoke softly and gently.

"You don't have to …thank me!"

Isabella couldn't even argue with his gesture of saying thank you…

"You don't need to express your thanks like this…" Isabella stammered.

"I don't have anything good to give you; the only thing I can think of is this…" Nathan said, as if he was serious about something.

Isabella's heart softened completely; this handsome, innocent man must be an angel incarnate; so cute, right?

"Weren't your previous clients… good to you?" Realizing that he was so grateful for her only slight kindness, Isabella subconsciously thought he might not have been treated well. Didn't he say something like no one had ever cared about him so much before?

"Actually, you are my first client, and also my first woman." Nathan fell silent momentarily, then slowly said it in a drawn-out tone.
