The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199
Before Natalie’s feet touched the floor, Christopher grabbed her wrist and pulled her back onto the bed.
“Don’t go. Stay and take a rest here tonight,” he demanded.
She could not believe her ears.
When did this lunatic start being so kind to me?
“There’s no need for that.” A hint of annoyance flashed across her eyes. “I overheard your secret, so I healed you. I’ve told you before that we are even now.” ,
Christopher is moody and paranoid by nature. It’s dangerous for me to stay near to such a person.
She knew that she would probably die at his hands before she could take any advantage of his power.
Therefore, the best way to settle the issue on hand was to end it as soon as possible.
“Bye.” She sat up again.
Ignoring Christopher’s burning gaze, she left without looking back.
After she walked out of the room, she bumped into a girl dressed in a pink dress.
“Are you the woman that Chris hides at home?” Jacyntha Smith glared at Natalie and yelled, “You’re so ugly! How dare you seduce him!”
What? I did nothing! Why is this girl treating me as if I’m a vixen?
Natalie pointed at herself in confusion. “Me Miss, I’m not… You’ve misunderstood.”
“Misunderstood?” Jacyntha stomped her feet in a fury. “You think I’m stupid? Chris let you get in there. You must’ve used some shady tricks on him!”
“Could you please calm down?” Natalie narrowed her eyes as she tried to explain the situation to her. “I told you.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Christopher walked out of the room behind her and grabbed her shoulder. “Jacyntha, this is my girlfriend.”

Before Jacyntha heard those words, she was still hoping that everything was just a misunderstanding. However, as soon as he said that, her hope was completely shattered
She yelled in disbelief, “Chris, she’s so ugly! Why do you even like her?”
Upon hearing that, he grabbed Natalie’s chin and observed her face, saying, “How is she ugly? She looks ten times prettier than you.”
Tears immediately rolled down Jacyntha’s cheeks.
“Chris, why are you doing this to me? I’ve liked you since I was young… I like you so much..”.
She then glared at Natalie before she wiped her tears and ran away.
Although Natalie did not know the relationship between Jacyntha and Christopher, she could clearly feel how heartbroken the girl was.
Jacyntha’s heart was trampled to pieces by the man she loved.
Natalie lifted her gaze to look at Christopher.
“Do you have to reject a girl who likes you so much? Even if you don’t like her, do you need to say that she’s ugly to mock her?”
Christopher shrugged. “I only see her as a younger sister. Besides, she’s not as good looking as you. I did not mock her.”
“Forget about it. I can’t reason with you.”
She slapped his hand away and left decisively.
Staring at her back, Christopher turned to Nicholas and asked, “Did I do something wrong?”
Nicholas replied to his question with another question. “Mr. Collins, do you want to hear the truth?”
Christopher glanced at Nicholas with raised eyebrows, “Yes.”
“You’vc hurt Ms. Jacyntha’s feelings…” Nicholas pondered for a moment before he continued, “Ms. Jacyntha has liked you for so many years. Even if you don’t like her, you don’need 10 say such harsh words.”

“I might have done wrong to Jacyntha.” Christopher clenched his fists and chuckled self-mockingly. “But, what about her? I don’t want Jacyntha to bully her, yet she scofled at me just now! How ungrateful!”
Nicholas was stunned.
Am I imagining things? Why do I have a feeling that my aloof boss has become fond of that ugly girl?
