Chapter 224
Just as Samuel thought Natalie would lay her emotions bare in front of him, she pulled away from his embrace.
“I‘ve made a fool of myself today..” Natalie croaked.

Samuel felt utterly defeated as her gaze turned cold and distant.
Looks likethe pain and hatred in her heart are stronger than her love for me.
Natalie was being too rational for her own good. In fact, she was even more rational than Samuel. She didn‘t want this relationship to turn into a weakness of hers.
Okay. I will respect her decision. The more distant she acts, the more I will pamper her. I will pamper her till she only has eyes for me.
“Nat, everything I‘ve said to you today is my promise toward you.” Samuel stared at her as he spoke in all seriousness. “You can do whatever you want, but you can only belong to me. No one else can lay a finger on you.”
Natalie looked him in the eye and was surprised to see the determination in them.
She was able to control her feelings around him this time around.
But what about next time?Can I really hold back my feelings for him?
The next day.
Natalie received a message from Christopher telling her to come down to Collins Corporation personally to collect the snakeblood fruit.
She arrived at Collins Corporation and registered herself at the reception.
“Hello, I‘m looking for Christopher.”
The receptionist, who had on heavy makeup, couldn‘t help but laugh. “Do you have an appointment?”
“No, but I have a message from him.” Natalie handed her phone over to the receptionist.
However, the receptionist didn‘t even spare her phone a glance. “Tch, you call this
evidence? All you did was find someone to send this message to you and name that contact after our CEO. Do you really think I will believe you?” the receptionist said coldly.
The receptionist gave Natalie a sidelong glance. Hah! I knew it.
