The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 

That night, Franklin and Sophia stayed over at the Nichols residence. 

Franklin slept with Xavian in the latter‘s bedroom since it was spacious enough. Meanwhile, Sophia spent the night in Clayton‘s room as he was still away for work. 

• Natalie initially assumed that Samuel would not stay, but, much to her surprise, he 

got Billy to fetch his documents and some change of clothes over. 

She pointed out. “You‘ll have to sleep on the couch since we don‘t have any more rooms.” 

Billy felt sorry for Samuel and tried to step in. “Ms. Nichols, that‘s a little harsh–” 

However, Samuel cut him off. “It‘s her call.” 

Knowing how much Samuel doted on Natalie, Billy silently placed the former‘s clothes on the couch and left. 

Natalie went back to her room after washing up. 

She tried to close the door but realized that the lock was too rusty to click in place. 

Since there were three children in the house, she felt confident that Samuel would not do anything out of line, so she turned off the bedside lamp and went to bed. 

Yet, in the middle of the night, Natalie felt something warm embracing during her sleep. 

After her mother‘s death, she had not fallen asleep in anyone‘s arms. 

Gold breezes blew throughout the night, so the sudden embrace was warm and comfortable. 

Natalie enjoyed it so much that she flipped over to wrap her arms and legs around the person that hugged her. 

“Stay still... I wanna hug you,” she mumbled in her sleep. 

Samuel instantly tensed up as he had never thought that she would take the initiative 

to hug him. 

He kept still. However, his Adam‘s apple bobbed up down as desire ignited in him from the sudden intimacy. 

The woman snored lightly with her lips parted and her eyelashes fluttering, looking pure like an angel.
