Chapter 415
“Actually, things aren’t as bad as you think, Mr. Ramsey,” Andrew explained coudly. “You can return to Canraville and rest quietly for a few years with proper restraint and the right supplements, your body will recover.”
Ernest immediately perked up at this suggestion “Yes, yes, you’re right! 1 may be weak now, but it’s temporary. I just need some time to recuperate”
“However, Mr. Ramsey, there’s one crucial rule,” Andrew warned. “You must absolutely avoid any intimate relations with women.
Ernest’s face fell dramatically as though he had just received news of a death in the family. He could handle giving up fine food and drinks, but this restriction was one he just couldn’t bear
Andrew added gravely, “Don’t take this lightly, Mr. Ramsey. In your condition, any intimate activity will instantly drain what little life force you’ve managed to rebuild. When that happens, you’ll become nothing but an empty shell–not even the world’s best doctor could save you then.”
Ernest’s face turned ashen. With his bodyguards support, he left West End in a daze, abandoning even his plan to stay in Jayrodale and choosing to return directly to Canraville.
Despite his desires, he valued his life more no momentary pleasure was worth dying for.
After Ernest left, Natasha asked Andrew eagerly, Darling, is his condition really that serious?
“Of course not,” Andrew replied flatly. “Half of what I said was just to scare him.”
“But you sounded so serious and convincing!” Natasha exclaimed in disbelief.
Andrew’s performance had been so convincing that she had believed every word.
Andrew shrugged. “I wasn’t entirely lying. His body is severely depleted, nearly half dead. Once your life force is damaged this severely, it causes permanent harm. Unless he finds some miracle cure, he’ll always have underlying health issues.”
Natasha laughed incredulously. “Then why did you traumatize him by saying he can never be with women again? For a sex addict like Ernest, that’s basically a death sentence!”
Andrew snorted. “That’s what he gets for constantly pursuing you. If I didn’t teach him at harsh lesson, he’d just come back to bother us once he recovered. I decided to get rid of this annoying pest once and for all!”
Natasha smiled seductively, touched that Andrew’s scheme had been for her sake. Her cheeks flushed as she gazed at him with sultry eyes.
Well darling, I may not want Ernest, but I’d give myself to you…”
“Are you really that desperate?” Andrew frowned at her obvious attempt at seduction.

Natasha’s blush deepened with anger. “You’re the desperate one! You promised to make me your woman!”
“Why are you getting angry so quickly?” Andrew sighed.
“How can I not be angry?” Natasha’s eyes reddened. “You never give me a straight answer. If you’re just playing with me, who will want me when I’m old and gray?“.

Andrew countered, “Don’t you have all of West End? With so many people under your command, you can live quite well even without a man!”
