The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 

Xavian, who was too worried about Natalie, insisted on joining Samuel on the yacht. 

The young boy became drowsy when it was around two o‘clock in the morning. He struggled to stay awake. 

“Xavian, you should go home and get some rest. I‘ll have Billy send you home,” Samuel said. 

Xavian widened his eyes and said stubbornly, “I don‘t want to go home. I want to search for Mommy with you. I will not rest before I find Mommy.” 

Even with Samuel‘s help, Xavian was still anxious about his mother‘s disappearance. After all, Natalie was everything to him and Clayton. If anything happened to Natalie, they would become orphans. 

He was scared and worried, but he had to try his best to remain calm and strong. 

“You should go home and sleep,” Samuel repeated. 

Agitated, Xavian began throwing a tantrum. “I told you I don‘t want to sleep! I don‘t want to become an orphan! I want my mommy! I‘m willing to do anything as long as she comes home safely! I promise I‘ll listen to her and be a good boy.” 

He had done his best to stay strong all this while. However, he could no longer hold back his tears at that moment. Huge beads of tears streamed down his cheeks. He wiped them away, but the tears kept on coming. 

Samuel bent down to look into Xavian‘s eyes. “Why are you crying? Do you think your mom is dead?” 

“No! Mommy is still alive!” Xavian clenched his fists and replied without hesitation. 

“Yes, your mom is definitely alive.” Samuel patted Xavian‘s head and added, “Your mom is only missing, and I promise you that I will find her at all costs.” 

That was a promise he made to both Xavian and himself. There was no way he would let anything happen to Natalie.
