A second chance for the CEO
Chapter 17
“When Nathan came out of the bathroom, Liam had already been taken to his room by the nanny to rest, and Stella was looking for her medicine, planning to apply it on her own.
She undid the button, and just as she was about to drop the medicing on her back wound, the bathroom door was suddenly opened, and Nathan stepped out, wrapped in a towel around his lower body.
It was clearly a beautiful image of a man who had just taken a shower. But Stella had no intention of admiring the man in front of
her.
Because she realized that her clothes were partly undone, and due to her back injuries, she had only put on invisible underwear without any straps.in the back. This type of underwear wasn’t very sturdy, so at that moment, because of her movement and its slight looseness, her two gentle and graceful curves were exposed.
Stella had a very beautiful collarbone, like a butterfly wishing to open its wings and fly. This type of collarbone was called a butterfly bone or the bone of a beautiful woman.
When Stella noticed Nathan’s gaze on her body, she blushed and, in panic, quickly adjusted her clothes.
Nathan didn’t say much, grabbed a clean towel to dry his hair, and went to the closet. Seeing his tall figure disappear, Stella sighed before holding her breath.
She didn’t expect Nathan to finish his shower so quickly.
She loosened the collar, grabbed the hospital medicine, and walked slowly toward the bathroom. She unbuttoned the button again, looked at her reflection in the giant mirror, and carefully applied the medicine.
Since the wound was on her back, she had to apply it herself. Every time she stretched her arm to apply it to the wound, it felt like it was pulling on her injury, so painful that she could hardly hold back the tears.
She looked at herself in the mirror, gave a bitter laugh, and felt a bit helpless. She was wondering if she should ask Caroline to come here for a while to help her apply the medicine, as in the past, whenever she was sick, Caroline would help her treat herself.
While she was letting her imagination wander, the bathroom door was suddenly knocked from the outside, and she was surprised, causing the ointment to almost fall to the floor.
“Stella, open the door.” – With his sweet, pleasant, and soft voice, Nathan spoke, and then Stella frowned, adjusted her clothes, and opened the door.
“Leave the bathroom.” – Nathan was already wearing pajamas and stopped in front of the door.
“What happened?”
Nathan didn’t answer, walked straight into the bathroom, and took the medicine from her hand.
“Can you apply the medicine yourself?”
Stella recalled the difficult situation from earlier, remained silent for a while, but she didn’t want to appear weak in front of him, so she quickly grabbed the ointment from his hand.
I can
“Who are you trying to lie to?”

Chapter 17
Nathan twisted his lips, walked up to her back, and pulled her cloth down.
“Nathan…” Stella said, embarrassed.
“Don’t move, what part of your body have I not seen?” – Nathan asked as he saw her trying to move,
His frankness made Stella blush, but she couldn’t stop him, so she just helplessly watched his actions. He opened her blouse, and for convenience, he simply placed the clothes where the towels were allowing her to lean on the sink. He opened the ointment, used a cotton swab, and applied it to her back.
It seemed like he was applying it slowly on purpose. Time passed, and Stella felt more and more uncomfortable, but she didn’t dare turn her head to look at him, not even at the mirror.
“Are you done?”
“How could it be so fast?” – Nathan poked the back of her head with his hand.
“Then hurry up.” – Stella said, irritated and nervous.
“Why are you so nervous?” – Nathan asked, laughing.
“I’m not!”
“You’re not?” – Nathan clearly didn’t believe her.
Stella felt the atmosphere around them becoming suffocating, so when he stopped his hand, she pulled her clothes up and, without looking at his face, quickly said:
“Thank you…”
“When she was about to leave the bathroom, her hand was suddenly pulled back by Nathan.
Nathan’s dark eyes fixed on her face, and he extended his hand to gently hold her delicate chin.
“Stella, why is your face so red?” – Then he used his other hand to touch her face. – “Also, why is it so warm?”
He leaned closer and closer, and as he spoke, his breath brushed against her skin. She was surrounded by his breath, a strong,
masculine scent.
“T… The weather is very hot…” – Stella wished she could swallow her tongue, realizing she was stammering as she spoke.
“The weather is hot?” – Nathan seemed to be hearing something amusing, his eyes completely bright, the corner of his mouth curling up mischievously, reminding her. – “It’s winter now, the temperature is below zero outside.”
–
This man was irrational and hard to deal with!
“But we have heaters in the house, don’t we?” – Stella felt a little dizzy.
“Even with a heater in the room, it’s highly unlikely that it could make your face so warm, don’t you think?” – Nathan didn’t let go of her cheeks, and Stella turned her head to hide, not wanting to waste more time with him, because she realized she wouldn’t win the argument.
“Nathan, I…”
At this moment, her few words were swallowed by Nathan’s lips, and his action was so sudden it left her completely stiff.

Chapter 17
She found herself in a scene where she was being kissed by a handsome man in the mirror, both of their lips passionately meeting. When she regained her senses she used her hand to push against his chest, wanting to pull him away from her.
“No.”
Nathan grabbed her lower jaw, forced her to open her lips, and lowered his lips close to hers.”
