The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Samuel’s facial features were flawless as if they were carved out by God himself. Combined with his strong and imposing aura, he was a person that most people would find hard to ignore.

Natalie pursed her lips.

When I met Samuel, I was wearing that hyper-realistic mask and looked completely different from now. Besides, I’m already shielded by my sunglasses, mask, and cap. There’s no way he’ll recognize me, right?

When Samuel’s gaze swept over her, she continued tapping her fingers rhythmically and kept her gaze under the sunglasses steady.

As soon as she retrieved her coffee, she turned to leave the establishment. Alas, the rain had only gotten heavier by the time she got to the door.

With the intention of waiting for the rain to subside, she found an inconspicuous seat in the corner of the cafe and sat down.

It was then her phone began vibrating inside her bag.

Franklin’s haughty yet adorable voice rang out the moment she picked up the call. “Woman, the other time, my daddy got between our time together. He wasn’t really picking on you. In truth, he’s a misogynist. When a woman gets close to him, he becomes very temperamental.”

Natalie was rendered speechless.

This kid is so bad at choosing a time to complain about his father. Why did he choose a time when his father is in the same cafe as me? If I put him on speaker right now, Samuel will definitely punish him badly at home.

“Why are you not speaking? Have you forgotten who I am?”

“How’s that possible? You’re Franklin.”

“Why aren’t you calling me Mr. Franklin?” the boy questioned.

“Do you wish for me to call you Mr. Franklin?”.

“Everyone else has to call me Mr. Franklin, but you don’t have to. I will only give you this privilege. Other women can only dream about it,” Franklin stated fiercely.

Natalie almost burst out laughing.

Tsk tsk. Indeed, he is Samuel’s son. He totally inherited his father’s domineering personality.

A warm and fuzzy feeling swept over her after speaking to them on the phone.
