The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200
Upon leaving the Collins residence, Natalie felt relieved.
After all, I’ve saved Christopher’s life. That lunatic should stop pestering me after this.
When she reached home, Natalie saw Xavian, Franklin, and Sophia waiting for her for dinner.
“I’m back,” Natalie said smilingly.
Upon seeing her, Xavian went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Meanwhile, Franklin helped his mother to put her medical kit aside as Sophia took a pair of slippers over to Natalie.
After putting the soft slippers on, Natalie walked to the dining room and saw a table full of delicious-looking dishes.
“Were you all waiting for me?”
Since Natalie had fallen asleep in the Collins residence, it was already half past seven in the evening when she arrived home. To her surprise, the three children were waiting for her to come home.

“I asked the two of them to eat first.” Xavian scratched his head. “But they insisted to wait for you with me.”
Franklin raised his chin. “Sophia and I are not hungry yet…”
However, just when he finished speaking, Sophia’s stomach growled.
Franklin wanted to blame his sister for embarrassing him, but his stomach growled at the next moment,
Xavian shook his head disapprovingly and glared at his siblings. “I told you two to eat first.”
Chuckling, Natalie poked Xavian’s tummy and asked, “Xavian, are you not hungry?”
“Of course not.” Xavian looked smug for several seconds before his stomach growled as well.
The three little children exchanged looks with each other before covering their

Natalie was touched by what they had done for her.
Are they angels! They’d rather starve to wait for me to have dinner together,
“I’m sorry… I was late.” She stroked their hair and explained apologetically, “Something went wrong during the process of treating a patient today. I’ll avoid this kind of situation in the future.”
The children nodded in unison.
Now that all of them were back at home, they dug in.
The little ones were clearly famished, as they quickly stuffed their mouths with food,
As Natalie ate, she gazed at them affectionately,
Although it was not the first time she watched thern cat, she would never get bored of
After the meal, Natalie went to the living room to watch the television,
Sophia suddenly came over with her phone and handed it to her. “Daddy…”
Knowing that Sophia was saying that Samuel was calling her, Natalie took the phone and answered il “Hello?”
“What are you doing?” Samuel’s voice was deep and husky.
“Watching the TV.”
“Aren’ı you going to ask me what I’m doing now?”
“Oh… What are you doing?”
“I’m missing you.” He paused before he added, “I’m wondering if you miss me like how I miss you.”
I’ven though they were talking over the phone, she could imagine the look on Samuel’s face at that moment,
For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.

Natalie acted indifferently and said, “If you keep saying cheesy things again, I’ll hang up the phone.”
“Fine. I’ll stop. Natalie, goodnight,” he uttered in a deep voice.
Even though the call had ended, her heart was still racing.
Sophia tilted her head and commented softly, “Your ears… are so red…”
“I’m just feeling hot.” Natalie fanned herself before running toward the balcony.
As soon as she opened the window, the night wind blew across her face and brought away the heat and frustration in her.

After some time, she calmed down and returned to her bedroom.
Moments later, Xavian knocked on her door and entered the room, holding a tablet in his hands.
“Mommy…
“Xavian, what’s the matter?”
“I’ll let you see some trending posts.”
He then turned on his tablet and put it in Natalie’s hands.
The latter then saw countless new trending topics about Yara.
