Chapter 209
Natalie didn‘t know how long Samuel had been carrying her until he put her in a scat.
Once she made sure she was in the car, she pulled the jacket on her head away,
li made her panic aliule when it didn‘t come off because it was tangled up with her hairpiece. Is this jacket... also going against me? No, I refused to believe in my luck,
She yanked the jacket away even harder, butil only made her scalp hurt more.
“The jacket doesn‘t have a grudge against youl, woman, Can‘t you be a little gentler?” Samuel grabbed her hands to stop her from peeling his jacket away from her head forcefully
Natalie felt her hand being moved away before she felt his hand rugging the jacket away with case
“See what I did there? It‘s that easy.”
Light finally reentered her sight. As she raised her head, a pair of eyes as dark as ink met hers.
The two of them stared at cach other.
Her face, still covered by the scarlet veil, was inches away from his.
Her eyes glinted with unparalleled brilliance while her makeup enhanced it,
The man‘s coarse finger touched her eyebrows before sliding downward,
With the veil pressing against her face, his finger rubbed past the space between her cyebrows before continuing down to her nose, then to her lips, and finally her chin.
He only saw her playing the piano on a video before.
However, earlier in the night, he got the chance to see her play a song with his own eyes,
“Do you think you can cover everything with this veil?” Samuel narrowed his eyes and questioned in a deep voice.
Can‘t I?Natalie‘s eyes shimmered as she kept the words inside her head. I wonder if it‘s possible for a person to notice another in a sea of people with their bare eyes?
Feeling they were getting too close, she subconsciously tried to move further into the car. Before she could put some distance between them, he wrapped his arm around her and forced her into his embrace.
“Samuel, let me–” The man‘s abrupt kiss ended her sentence prematurely.
Her brown eyes widened in disbelief at the handsome face in front of her. I still haven‘t removed my veil, yet he just... kissed me?
