The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 212

The Promise of Happiness 

Chapter 212 

Natalie‘s eyelashes fluttered as her hands stopped. 

Even though Ida had been through a lot, she couldn‘t help but sigh again as she recalled the past. “Shanice Zarate was a famous and talented socialite in Dellmoor when she was young. After she was married into the Bowers family, she gave birth to Mr. Samuel and Mr. Steven. However, one night, when her sons were fast asleep, she cut her own wrists. Mr. Samuel was only five at that time. He woke up after he smelled the scent of blood. The moment his eyes opened, he saw his mother covered in blood as she passed away.” 

Natalie knew rich families like the Bowers family had a lot of secrets, but she never thought Samuel had to live with such a tragic experience. He was five years old.Clayton and Xavian are five years old this year. I can‘t imagine the despair and pain Samuel went through after seeing his mother die by suicide. 

“Natalie...” Ida held her hand tightly. “I hope you‘ll be the one to bring warmth into Mr. Samuel‘s heart.” 

Natalie wasn‘t sure how to respond to that, but upon seeing the desperate hope in the old woman‘s eyes, she nodded reluctantly as a vague answer. 

After she finished helping Ida, Natalie returned to the living room. 

Ever since she entered the building, she hadn‘t had the chance to take off the dress she had been wearing since the press conference. It was hindering her movement. 

Samuel glanced at her before turning to Ida. “Ms. Heath, can you give Nat a change of clothes? Her dress is dirty.” 

“I‘ll go and find one right now.” Ida then headed upstairs. 

Once the old woman was out of earshot, Natalie bit her lip and asked, “Who gave you permission to call me ‘Nat‘?” 

“Everyone can call you ‘Natalie,” he scoffed. So, I‘m not going to call you by the name that everyone else does. I want to call you by a nickname that only the closest person to you can call.” 

“You–” She gritted her teeth and suddenly found herself speechless in front of him. Even though he was gone for half a month, not only did he not back off, he even forces himself closer and closer to me.
