Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 311: Little Carrot Top

Zane Thorne planned an overnight camping activity by Lake Vesperia for the evening.

Natalie Vaughn had done something similar before when she went to watch the sunrise with Phoebe Quinn and Aaron Channing, but the experience wasn’t that pleasant back then.

The mountain top at night was really too cold.

However, this time it’s by the lake, and it seems a little different.

More importantly, this time it’s with Zane Thorne.

The previous time on the mountain in Astra City, they just went for an outdoor picnic without camping.

The sky as their blanket, the ground as their bed.

It’s just as romantic as watching the starry night.

After setting up her camera, Natalie Vaughn began to pitch the tent with Zane Thorne. Zane originally didn’t want Natalie to do it, but Natalie insisted.

"Isn’t it more fun to do this kind of thing together?"

Natalie had good stamina and excellent hands-on skills, combined with Zane’s experience, pitching a tent proved no difficulty.

Then Zane started setting up the things needed for the outdoor cooking, while Natalie organized the inside of the tent.

This division of labor certainly resembled the old-fashioned role of men farming and women weaving.

In their daily lives, they never needed to do these things, and doing them occasionally didn’t feel tiring; instead, it was somewhat enjoyable.

After Natalie laid the tent, she lay inside, propping her chin with her hands and watching the man busy by the lake.

The sky gradually darkened, making Zane’s figure appear more mysterious and sexy; his arm lines were stunning under the faint light.

The calm water by the lakeside made Natalie think of the dragon tattoo on Zane’s waist.

During thunderstorming, it leaps and rises.

Then what during peaceful times? Is it dormant?

But even while dormant, it still grabs attention as the focal point.

Natalie thought, Zane is the kind of person that anyone falling for him wouldn’t be surprising. She also secretly felt grateful that she was the only one seeing Zane truly in love, really showing affection.

Zane came back with water and saw Natalie looking like a fangirl.

He raised his eyebrow.

"What’s up?"

Natalie shook her head.

"I just think you’re so handsome."

"..."

Zane amusingly tossed the tools aside, the girl’s temper flares quickly and fades just as fast. Earlier in the cabin, he was frustrated with her anger, but after tying her hair in a high ponytail, she’s not mad anymore.

Now she was showering him with such enthusiastic compliments.

Zane genuinely enjoyed this side of Natalie, he reached out and pinched her cheek. This pinching curved the smile on his lips slightly.

Lately, he’s been busy with training, admittedly neglecting Natalie a bit, her face showing signs of weight loss.

"I’ll grill some meat for you later, make sure to eat more."

Natalie removed Zane’s hand and touched her own face.

"Did I lose weight? I think I look okay."

She thought she looked fine with or without some flesh.

Upon hearing this, Zane snorted lightly.

"With your little frame, I can lift you with one hand."

Natalie playfully rolled her eyes.

"Is that my problem? It’s obvious your strength is huge. Even when my face had flesh before, you could lift me with one hand. Besides, you’ve fought Caleb Lawson before; being able to lift me is not really my issue."

Zane: ...well-spoken.

"Then eat until I can’t lift you with one hand; you’re too thin now."

Natalie found it amusing hearing this.

"You want me to eat until I’m 200 pounds?"

Zane: ...

"Can’t be too fat either, that’s not healthy."

"Then don’t worry about it; no matter how I eat, how I gain weight, you can always lift me with one hand. If you can’t, then that’s really your problem."

Besides, she’s a woman who loves beauty. Though she doesn’t aim to be excessively thin, she shouldn’t be fat either.

She did want to have a balanced figure, but her metabolism didn’t allow it.

It’s not possible to indulge when she can’t really eat, is it?

Zane often couldn’t win in debates with Natalie; he didn’t intend to continue debating. After all, Natalie liked his grilled meat, so he would be responsible for indulging her more.

There were quite a few people camping by the lake. While Zane prepared the barbecue, Natalie recorded on the side. The lighting wasn’t very bright, so Natalie didn’t have to be too cautious while shooting.

The surroundings were lively, and seeing that Zane’s barbecue wouldn’t be ready for a while, she spoke up.

"I’ll go for a little walk around, be back soon."

Before Zane could respond, Natalie walked away with her equipment.

Zane: ....

The man helplessly shook his head at her departing silhouette.

Most of the campers were couples, with a few families having brought children. Natalie was pondering over which family to approach for a brief interview when a little carrot top hugged her leg.

Looking down, Natalie saw a little boy.

Golden curls, light blue eyes, adorably sucking on his finger.

At first glance, Natalie’s heart softened instantly.

She crouched down, careful not to tip the little carrot over due to her movement, thoughtfully supporting his back with one hand.

"Sweetheart, you’re so adorable."

He looked no older than two or three.

Yet he could talk now.

The little carrot steadfastly fixed his eyes on Natalie, reaching out trying to pinch her face, softly murmuring:

"mama"

Natalie was startled.

That title wasn’t supposed to be used!

The little carrot’s parents finally noticed the scene, and the mother rushed over. Seeing his mom, the little carrot got even more excited, pointing at Natalie repeatedly calling "mama" "mama."

Natalie found this unexpected mom situation slightly awkward.

What’s more, the real mom was here too.

The young mom picked up the little carrot top.

"Hi, I’m Jessica, and this is my son Sam. He loves pretty people, and you’re very pretty."

While speaking, little carrot extended his drool-covered stubby hand to touch Natalie’s face but was quickly stopped by the young mom.

"Sorry, Sam probably likes you too much; that’s his way of showing affection."

Natalie shook her head, she didn’t mind.

She just felt the little carrot staring at her was excessively adorable.

She raised her camera.

"Can I film a short video for you?"

"Of course."

The young mom promptly agreed, Natalie filmed a clip. Little carrot really liked her, pestering to touch her.

Noticing this, Natalie asked the mom.

"Can I hold him?"

"Sure, Sam would definitely love that."

The young mom put little carrot top in Natalie’s arms, and took Natalie’s camera to record them.

Interestingly, though Natalie had never held a child before, she didn’t feel awkward holding him.

Perhaps it was because little carrot reached out, wanting her to hold him.

Just as she embraced him, little carrot leaned forward and kissed Natalie’s cheek with a big smooch.

Drool gleaming on Natalie’s cheek.

Little carrot smelled entirely of milky fragrance, Natalie didn’t mind at all.

Instead, she cradled him teasingly.

"Hi little Sam, I’m Kristin, you can call me sister. Come on, sister, say it with me."

Little carrot stared with his sparkling eyes, uttered:

"mama"

Natalie: ...
