The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211 

Natalie was afraid that Ida would keep bumping into her surroundings due to her poor eyesight, but she couldn‘t win against the old woman. 

Ida smiled brightly as she insisted on serving coffee and desserts to Natalie before she would sit down. 

“Ms. Natalie, I‘m very excited right now because this is the first time Mr. Samuel has brought a woman back.” Tears swelled in the old woman‘s eyes. “He has always been an introvert since he was a little boy. He‘ll treat everyone with indifference aside from his family.” 

Natalie was stunned. I‘m the first? Then what about Yara? Or Franklin and Sophia‘s mother? 

The both of them never came before? 

“You‘re mistaken, Ms. Heath. The two of us are just friends.” 

“Friends?” Ida looked disappointed. 

Before Natalie could answer, Samuel barged in and did it for her. “Yeah, we‘re just friends.” His eyes narrowed as his lips curved upward coquettishly. “We‘re just friends for now. Relationship between two adults may change with circumstances.” 

Ida had been down that path once, so she could understand what he meant immediately. “Looks like I was being impatient for no reason. Young people should take it slow to build a strong foundation.” She patted her forehead. “I hope I didn‘t scare you with my assumptions, Ms. Natalie.” 

“N–No,” Natalie denied subconsciously. 

When her eyes met Samuel‘s profound look, she realized he had just set up a trap that she couldn‘t escape. 

Suddenly, love was in the air. 

In an attempt to change the topic, Natalie asked, “What‘s your relationship with Ms. Heath?” 

“She used to be my mother‘s wet nurse. She took care of my mother since she was a little girl. When I was born, my granny‘s already dead. In my eyes, Ms. Heath is my granny.”

Chapter 211 

Ida shook her head with a smile. “I’m only a humble servant, Mr. Samuel. It‘s thanks to the Bowers family and the Zarate family that I am where I am today.” 

Samuel took a sip of water. “You deserve what you have today, Ms. Heath.” 

“Don‘t just talk. Eat some cakes.” Ida pushed the food containers toward the duo. “I made these myself. Give them a try.” 

Samuel and Natalie picked up a slice of cake and ate it. 

This cake... This is way too sweet and cloying. I don‘t like this. Natalie furrowed her eyebrows upon taking the first bite. 

Natalie sat at the side while staring at him. Even though both of them aren‘t related by blood, I can tell their familial relationship is greater than those that are. This is the first time I‘ve seen him act so casually, in front of an elder, no less. Instead of the proud and mighty leader of the Bowers family that he usually is, he behaves like a teenager who‘s enjoying his time with his granny right now. Is this how he‘s like in front of his family? He‘s so different from his usual cold and arrogant self.
