The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 177

The Promise of Happiness 

Chapter 177 

Natalie ignored Samuel‘s intense gaze and pretended like she did not notice it. 

She was about to wash the utensils after Samuel finished the soup, but before she could, she was pulled into bed and locked in a tight embrace. 

“Don‘t you feel uncomfortable hugging me when you‘re sick?” 

“Not at all. I‘d feel uncomfortable if I can‘t hug you. I‘m in this state because of you, so you need to take full responsibility;” Samuel replied. 

Natalie could feel the man‘s hot breath on her neck. 

His pleasant voice was echoing right beside her ears, causing her heart to race. 

She dared not move a muscle and stayed completely still. 

Moments later, just as she was about to push Samuel away, she turned to see him fast 

asleep. 

Two days passed since Natalie came to look after Samuel. In fact, she was not really doing anything, since Celia was the one in charge of monitoring his condition, and the house chores were done by the servants. Most of the time, all she did was keep Samuel company. 

She sneaked out of the room one night after Samuel fell asleep and called Xavian. 

“Mommy, is Mr. Bowers all right?” Xavian asked in concern. 

“He‘s fine. He just needs me to take care of him for a few more days.” Natalie massaged her temples. 

“Of course, you need to take care of him, Mommy! He got sick because he was looking for you! You‘ve always taught me and Clayton to be grateful, so you have to do the same, too!” 

Natalie was rendered speechless when her own son began lecturing her. “I know. I‘m just worried about you since you‘re all alone at home.” 

“I‘m fine. You have to take good care of Mr. Bowers! He‘s your top priority now!”
