She blushed, immediately looking away, only to find Nathaniel staring gloomily at the still running showerhead.
His gaze was as if he was looking at his own enemy. Although his expression was very serious, Stella found it amusing for
reason.

In the end, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Mr. Beaumont, so you can’t fix it after all? I’m sorry, it was a misunderstanding,” Stella said, holding back her laughter.
Nathaniel’s face darkened even more, but he kept staring at Stella’s face.
Her damp hair was messily stuck to her face. She was smiling, and although she looked a bit disheveled, it was endearing.
The water gradually soaked her white shirt, revealing her white underwear and the figure beneath her loose clothing.
He looked away, saying in a husky voice, “Don’t laugh.”
“Oh.”
Stella coughed lightly, feeling as if she might have been a bit too

harsh. It was clear that Jennifer doted on her son, so it was perfectly normal for Nathaniel not to know how to change at shower head.
At least he didn’t refuse to do this, and he installed it very
carefully.
Jack, who was also doted on by his mother, was different.

She had seen Jack change a light bulb for his mother before, and she thought Jack was very filial and a good man.
But once, the light bulb in her house broke, and she couldn’t reach it, so she thought of asking Jack for help.
Unexpectedly, Jack said he couldn’t do it, and even laughed at her for not knowing such a thing, really disgracing women.
Actually, it was a trivial matter, she didn’t particularly take it to heart.
It was only when a sudden contrast appeared that she realized love had truly blinded her.
Now she realized how foolish she had been, and how selfish Jack
was.
Suddenly, a towel fell on her head, pulling her thoughts back.
Nathaniel ran his fingers through his hair, saying lightly, “It’s too late today. I’ll fix it tomorrow. You go take a bath in my room. I have some things to deal with in the study.”

Stella held the towel. “Hmm.”

In fact, she could tell that Nathaniel didn’t really have anything. to deal with, he just didn’t want her to feel awkward.
She walked towards the door with her head down, accidentally stepping on a puddle of water.
“Ah!”
Stella slipped and crashed into Nathaniel, both of them falling to the ground.
Her lips bumped against the button on Nathaniel’s chest, feeling particularly painful.
When Nathaniel fell, he instinctively held her, the soft impact accelerating his breath, and his body inexplicably became restless.
Stella also noticed something different about Nathaniel. Her face instantly turned red, and she quickly stood up, covering her aching mouth.
“I’m going to take a bath. Goodbye. No, good night.”
Her incoherent words seemed to emphasize that she knew something.
She shyly rushed out of the bathroom and hid in the master bedroom.

Nathaniel lay on the ground, his hands clenched into fists,

taking a moment to regain his composure before sitting up. But the lingering warmth in his palms refused to fade for a long
time.
Did Stella just blush?
Doesn’t she have an ex–boyfriend?
He felt as if she knew nothing about this matter.
Whenever Nathaniel thought of Stella’s ex–boyfriend, he couldn’t help but think that they had been together too, even doing things that were more outrageous.
He clenched his fists in displeasure once again, entering the study with a face full of anger.
As soon as he entered the door, he ripped off his damp top, his lower body only wrapped in a towel. His good physique was reflected in the glass window.
Nathaniel leaned against the desk, lighting a cigarette. White smoke filled the room. He looked both dangerous and languid.
A moment later, he remembered something and sat in front of the computer, opening the search engine.
At this moment, Carlos called him.
“Sir, the headquarters has sorted out the recent financial

situation of the Beaumont Group. As you expected, their situation this year is not very optimistic. The new product has been delayed due to a problem with the chip. If a replacement chip cannot be found in time, I’m afraid the new product will have to be declared a failure.”
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
“Ah? Mr. Beaumont, are you busy now?” For Nathaniel, could there be anything more important than work?
“Hmm. I’m doing some research.” Nathaniel replied, a cigarette clamped between his lips as he typed a line of text into the search bar.
“Do you need my help?”
“I’m searching for how to install a shower head.”
Nathaniel had previously washed the dishes, and now he has to install the shower head.
Carlos thought Nathaniel was becoming a domesticated man.
