The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 

Xavian asked in fear, “Mommy, do you know who tried to hurt you?” 

“The person who drugged and threw me into the river was just a minion. In my drugged state, I heard him call his employer ‘Madam. The culprit who hired him is most likely a woman who is in her thirties,” Natalie recalled. 

She unstrapped the carry–on bag that was tied to her calf and continued, “Fortunately, I always carry around these pills that can detoxify poison quickly. I managed to swallow them before I lost consciousness. Otherwise, I would have really died in the river.” 

All of a sudden, Xavian seemed to have remembered something. 

1.S 

He hit his head hard with his fist and exclaimed, “Silly me! I was so happy that you returned home safe that I forgot to do something important!” 

Natalie asked, “What is it?” 

Xavian picked up his phone and dialed a number as he answered, “Mommy, now that you have returned home, I need to let Mr. Bowers know that you‘re safe. Mr. Bowers was so worried when he found out you went missing. He dispatched all the yachts from the Bowers family to look for you at the river...” 

Before Xavian could finish speaking, Natalie took the phone away from him and said, “You can‘t call him now, Xavian.” 

Confused, Xavian asked, “But why not, Mommy? Mr. Bowers did not get any rest these days as he was busy looking for you. If he didn‘t know you came back safely, he wouldn‘t stop looking for you!” 

Natalie was stunned when she heard Xavian‘s words. 

The night she fell into the river and was rescued by a fishing boat, she slept for a long time because of the medicine‘s side effects. 

She had no idea that Samuel had dispatched all the yachts of the Bowers family to search for her. Neither did she know that he was so persistent in looking for her. 

“Xavian, my hyper–realistic mask has fallen off because I‘ve been in the water for too 

long. I don‘t know where it went, so I need time to get a new one. I can‘t tell anyone who I am yet, including Mr. Bowers,” Natalie pinched Xavian‘s cheek and explained. 

Samuel‘s domineering but gentle attitude had moved Natalie and earned her trust. 

Until I have exacted my revenge, I cannot let anyone know who I am. 

The mask should only take three or four days to arrive. Samuel is a big, strong man. He‘ll be able to wait a few more days, can‘t he?
