Chapter 1310 Asserting Dominance

Nathaniel's face darkened. He could never have guessed that his wife had given him yet another so-called surprise.

Not only had she snatched his project the last time, but she had also managed to poach a star from his company.

Seeing Nathaniel remain silent, Mason couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to tell your wife that you actually own Imminence Corporation?"

"Let me think about it," Nathaniel replied, looking at Mason. "You can go now."

"All right, Mr. Rainsworth." At last, Mason could leave the oppressive atmosphere of the office, heaving a heavy sigh of relief.

At this point, his admiration for Cecilia had grown.

There were hardly a few who had the courage to challenge Nathaniel, and even fewer who could win.

Yet, Cecilia was the only one who had emerged victorious. Who would have thought she had secretly signed a contract with Eric?

At Ceci Corporation, everyone was buzzing with excitement, celebrating Eric's arrival at the company.

Cecilia had only been there for a short while but decided to leave, as the final stage of her pregnancy was making her feel uncomfortable.

When Eric saw her about to leave, he quickly caught up with her. "I just arrived at the company today, and you don't even bother to explain the company's rules and regulations or your plans for me?"

Cecilia couldn't help but chuckle. "Charlotte would certainly be more than happy to walk you through all that. It's not exactly convenient for me to explain everything in my current condition, don't you think? I mean, look at my belly."

Upon hearing this, Eric found himself at a loss for words. However, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you still working at this point in your pregnancy? Didn't he say anything about it?"

If Cecilia were his woman, he wouldn't let her work, especially while pregnant. Even if she were just in her first trimester, he would insist she stay home and rest.

It took Cecilia a moment to understand that he was referring to Nathaniel. "I have to work. What else can he say?"

She felt somewhat bewildered by his question. Physically, she felt fine and didn't find work too taxing. Even when she did get tired, she knew well enough to rest.

Eric thought the fact that she had to work throughout her pregnancy indicated that Nathaniel hadn't been

treating her well. "Don't get mad at

what I'm about to say, but I think prominent families like the

Rainsworths simply don't know how to cherish their wives. Even in regular couples, a pregnant wife shouldn't have to work as hard as you do. And come on, he's got plenty of money to make sure you don't have to stress about anything."

After hearing Eric's words, Cecilia realized he had misunderstood her situation. "Eric, I—"

Before she could finish her explanation, a familiar, deep voice echoed from behind her. "Darling, I've come to take you home."

With purposeful strides, Nathaniel approached Cecilia, enveloping her in his embrace.

Cecilia felt momentarily dazed, still processing the situation when Nathaniel turned to face Eric. "Mr. Palmer, I've never been stingy with my wife. If she doesn't want to work, she can hand over the management of the company to someone else at any time. Of course, if she chooses to work, I'll support her

wholeheartedly."

Hearing Nathaniel's words and witnessing their closeness, Eric felt a twinge of discomfort.

"I hope it's not just talk. After all, Ms. Cecilie is quite popular," he remarked before turning to leave.

Once Eric had walked away, Cecilia reached out to nudge Nathaniel. "What are you doing?"

"Asserting dominance!" Nathaniel replied, clearly enunciating each word.

"What do you mean by that? You don't own me."

"You're mine," Nathaniel declared, scooping Cecilia up into his arms.

He possessed great strength. Even at seven months pregnant, Nathaniel lifted Cecilia with ease.

Cecilia felt a bit flustered, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck. "Put me down. You might drop me."

"If I can't even hold my own wife and child, how am I worthy of being your husband?" As soon as he finished speaking, his tone shifted to a playfuHilt. "That guy, Eric... he.
