The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104

Samuel was worried about Natalie’s injury. Never in a million years did he expect her to refuse his help so coldly.

Nevertheless, his arm snaked under Natalie’s knee and lifted her in a bridal carry before walking toward his car.

“Samuel Bowers! Let me go right now! Hey! Are you even listening to what I’m saying? You jerk! You clearly hear me screaming in your ear, so why are you pretending not to understand?”

Samuel cast a casual glance at Natalie. “So what if you agreed to stay away from me? You may have made that promise to Yara, but I didn’t promise her anything.”

Upon hearing that bold statement, Natalie was so surprised that she was at a loss for words.

“You-”

“Think of it as me forcing you to stay in my life. Don’t worry. I’ll bear the consequences for doing so.” Samuel’s eyes shined brightly with hope. He then continued, “Now, be a good girl and stay still in my arms. You’ll lose more blood if you keep wiggling around, and I can assure you that losing blood will worsen your suffering during the recovery process.”

Natalie was used to getting injured.

Even so, she could not help but fall for his kind gesture.

At the same time, she was annoyed at herself for having mixed feelings; she had already decided to cut ties with Samuel, yet she still yearned for his care.

“Don’t order me around with that mocking tone of yours!” she eventually scoffed.

“Save all that anger for after you recover. You can yell and hit me then, but for now…” Samuel then glanced down at her, his gaze soft with affection as he spoke with a low and gentle voice. “Please don’t resist me. I’m worried about you…”

A lump lodged at the back of Natalie’s throat.

I‘ve made a lot of harsh remarks toward him. Still, why is he not giving up on me? Why is it that even though he shares a complicated relationship with Yara, I still feel like he only cares about me?

She pondered while opening the car door. It was then that a different thought struck her mind. “Wait a minute. Where’s Sophia? And where’s my little one? Where’s Xavian-”

“Relax. The kids will be fine now that Billy is around to look after them,” Samuel reassured.

Natalie lightly nibbled her lower lip after hearing that.

At last, there was no reason for her to refuse Samuel’s help. She let go of her hand and allowed him to carry her onto the passenger seat.

Samuel promptly leaned over to fasten the seat belt for Natalie, making sure to avoid her wounds.

Am I hallucinating? When will this seemingly perfect dream end?
