The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184
Natalie interrupted coldly, “Yandel, are you asking me to betray myself?”
“Boss, Samuel has never seen you. So, you’re not really betraying anyone.”
“Stop it! Or I’ll cut your tongue.”
“I’m just joking. You’re too cruel.” Yandel pursed his lips with an aggrieved look.
“Don’t ever mention this in front of me again. People are always chasing after things they can’t have. Maybe Samuel is just trying to impress me by doing that. He may no longer appreciate me once he has me. A woman who likes to cling to a man is like a vine that grows on a tree. Once the tree no longer provides nutrients, the delicate vines will soon wither and die.” Natalie narrowed her eyes and said lightly.
Her voice was soft, but she seemed resolute in her words.
Upon hearing that, Yandel was stunned.
She’s really not an ordinary woman.
“The dragonblood fruit is rumored to be put up for sale in this auction. Reckon it’ll
cost a princely sum. I’ll attend and try to get it,” said Yandel to Natalie.
“Got it.”
After Natalie finished her work and stepped out of the bedroom, she saw the three little ones sitting neatly at the dining table, waiting for her.
“Mommy, I made your favorite steak today.” Xavian lifted the creamy yellow lid. The delicious aroma of the steaks made Natalie, Franklin, and Sophia salivate.
“Thank you, sweetheart.”
Natalie then pulled out the chair and sat down.
Shortly afterward, she noticed that Franklin’s and Sophia’s expressions had suddenly darkened.
“What’s wrong with you guys?” Natalie asked while she took a bite of her food.
“Natalie, you call Xavian a sweetheart. What about me? I’m better than him in other things other than cooking,” Franklin said unhappily, pursing his lips.
Blinking her eyes, Sophia also asked sadly, “Am I not good enough?”
Hearing that, Natalie then only realized that the two of them were jealous of Xavian.
She then rubbed their heads and said with a smile, “Who said that I don’t call you guys sweethearts? You two are my sweethearts, too!”
Franklin and Sophia felt better and started to eat after hearing Natalie.
On the other hand, Xavian complained inwardly that Natalie was really good at coaxing children as she called everyone a sweetheart.
However, Xavian did not hate Franklin and Sophia.
On the contrary, he felt relaxed and comfortable around them.
Sophia was nice, cute, clingy, and understanding. She was also gluttonous, but she ate extremely slowly.
Franklin had a high IQ. He was even stronger than Xavian in some aspects, which made Xavian look at him differently.
The whole family was eating steaks.
Seeing the three little ones eating, Natalie felt warmth in her heart.
She was so excited that she ate two large pieces of steak.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the auction had arrived.
Wearing a blue suit, Yandel drew a lot of attention from ladies as soon as he appeared at the auction site.
“Wow! He is the CEO of the Dream Company!”
“Is this the CEO of the Dream Pharmaceutical who has established a firm foothold in Dellmoor in just three years?”
“He is so young and handsome! I thought the CEO was an old man. I didn’t expect him to be such a young man!”
Yandel listened to the praises with an empty heart.
He was just a titular CEO.
The person who made Dream Pharmaceutical gain a foothold in Dellmoor was someone else, but not him.
