The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel)
Chapter 301

Chapter 301

"Samuel, have you been waiting for me this whole time?” Natalie asked.

“Yeah.” Samuel's voice was as deep as usual.

A frown formed on his face when his gaze fell upon Natalie's wounded arm. Although he didn't ask her about it, he had displeasure written all over his face.

“I thought I'd be able to stay at the banquet till the end if I didn’t bring you along, but it doesn't seem to make a difference!” Natalie exclaimed with a chuckle before he could say anything.

Little did she know, her smile and laughter only stabbed at Samuel's heart like a knife.

There's no way she got those wounds by herself. She's just pretending to be fine by laughing it off. Samuel exuded a cold yet elegant aura when he drove with one hand on the steering wheel.

His grip on it grew increasingly tight as he glanced at her from time to time.

Da*n... This guy is getting increasingly difficult to fool... He doesn't limit my personal freedom, nor does he stop me from doing what I like. However, he really hates seeing me get hurt. I got a tiny chunk of my skin scraped off when I tried to save Jacyntha earlier. To make matters worse, I'm wearing a white lace dress today! While the wound itself isn't serious, it does look very visually disturbing. If I tell Samuel it's a minor injury, he might actually lock me up in bed for a month until it recovers!

Natalie let out a sigh at the thought of that. Eventually, she glanced at Samuel and said, “Samuel, my wound hurts.”

Samuel simply kept quiet.

Seeing as he wasn't responding, Natalie repeated herself in a more serious tone, “It really hurts, Samuel. Please hurry up and take me home, okay? I want to get it treated...”

Despite her submissive attitude, all Samuel said was, “I'll teach you a lesson when we get back.” As Samuel floored the accelerator, his sharp eyes caught sight of a Ferrari in the rear-view mirror. Although both cars were only a few feet apart, the light from the Ferrari's high beam headlamps illuminated the entire Hummer.

The man in the Ferrari was still inside the vehicle, but the tension between the two could clearly be felt.

Samuel narrowed his eyes and asked, “What's your relationship with Christopher?”

Natalie didn't hate Christopher, but she didn't exactly like him either. Of course, she hadn't forgotten about the favor she owed him. She was simply waiting for the

perfect opportunity to present itself so she could return the favor.

"He's just a friend that I owe a favor to.”

“Do you like him?” Samuel pressed on.

Natalie replied without any hesitation, “No.”

Samuel smiled and said after a brief pause, “Good, you can only like me for the rest of your life. You're not allowed to even admire other men. got it?”

His eyes were filled with an incredibly strong sense of possessiveness.

"What about you, then? Are you able to do the same for me? Can you also promise me not to admire other women?" Natalie asked.

Samuel stared deeply at her as he replied, “Yes, I can.”

The two of them locked eyes, and Natalie found her heart racing when she looked at his devilishly handsome face up close.

Just like that, they sped off into the distance while Christopher watched with his fists tightly clenched.

He had tried investigating Natalie before, but it was extremely difficult to get any information on her.

Most of her files were protected with many layers of security, and people had even tried to stop him halfway through his investigation.

Even so, he didn't expect her to be involved with Samuel at all.

“Huh...” Christopher let out a wry chuckle.

Oh, Natalie... You gave me the hope to keep living and the urge to love someone. You got me drawn to 1.2 bright light of yours, so how could you make me give up on you?
