Chapter 398 Natasha continued softly, But what if it wasnt you today, but someone else? Someone who defeated me so easily and pinned me down what do you think would have happened to me then? Without waiting for Andrews response, she gave a bitterugh.


    Ive walked the edge of destruction countless times to reach this position.


    Though Ive always refused to trade my body for power, believing that true strengthes from within, a widow like me often doesnt have many choices


    If you believe in that, then why are you so determined to give yourself to me? Andrew asked.


    Natasha wiped away her tears and gave him a tender look.


    You really are clueless! When others desire my body, I want them gone, but with you, Im willing


    because theres only one reason I genuinely care for you! Her eyes grew softer and more mncholic as she continued.


    And now, seeing your true strength, I want to give myself to someone I truly submit to


    It would make me happy to finally let down my guard with a man who has earned both my respect and can protect me.


    Andrew felt his face grow unusually warm.


    Natashas words had touched something in him, helping him understand her struggles and why she was so determined to win his affection.


    Dont worry, Ill protect you from now on; no one will dare bully you, Andrew said with a smile, his respect for her growing


    Before, Natasha had always struck him as cunning and ruthless, the kind of woman you could never fully trust


    But now, he had glimpsed a softer side of her.


    It turned out she was not just a cold, calcting leader she was also someone with a deeply passionate and genuine nature.


    Natasha scoffed


    Ive heard too many empty promises from men over the years to believe them anymore.


    Darling, either ept mepletely, or know that while you may control me on the surface, you wont have my true loyalty


    You need to understand that rtionships arent games, Andrew said seriously.


    Are you certain this is what you want? Natashas face flushed as she lowered her head shyly.


    Im certain I want you to take me right now.


    I can tell what kind of man you are, and I know III never regret being with you! Andrew took a deep breath, realizing he had run out of ways to dissuade this widow.


    However, could he really ept her proposal? Dont worry, Natasha whispered, biting her lip.


    I wont cause you trouble.


    A man like you.


    will surely meet countless women more beautiful, gentle, and aplished than me.


    Im not asking for exclusivity I just want to be one of your women! Andrew found himself at a genuine loss


    , wondering if he should ept her.


    It was truly a difficult decision.
