The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 

Natalie took a bite of the butter cookie and commented, “She‘s quite pretty, just not very friendly.” 

Christopher drummed his finger on the table. “Nicholas, please fire Cherry,” he instructed the moment Nicholas entered the room. 

Nicholas stared at him in disbelief. However, he immediately caught on as he turned to face Natalie and nodded in acknowledgment. 

“Understood.” 

Natalie couldn‘t be bothered to comment after Nicholas left. She simply stared at Christopher as if he was crazy. 

He‘s crazy, so I shouldn‘t be too surprised. 

She had no desire to know Christopher, nor get herself involved with him. 

In fact, she would keep her distance and stay as far away from Christopher as she could the moment she got her hands on the snakeblood fruit. 

Christopher thought Natalie had a really unique character as she glared at him. She would never go along with the crowd nor ingratiate herself with the rich and powerful. On the contrary, she had a strong sense of self and was always level headed. 

Christopher reached out in an attempt to remove her hyper–realistic mask. It was as if he had been bewitched by her. 

He couldn‘t forget her real face ever since he saw what she really looks like when she passed out last time. 

However, Natalie stood up before he could even lay a finger on her face. 

A red–orange glow outlined her form as the sun‘s late evening rays shone on her. “I‘ve kept my promise to you. Isn‘t it time for you to hand the snakeblood fruit you promised over to me?” Natalie said coolly. 

Christopher froze in midair. He stared at his hand for a moment, burst into laughter, and put his hand down.

He then retrieved a wooden box from his drawer before handing it over to Natalie. 

Natalie opened the box excitedly. Sure enough, there was a glowing bright red fruit in the box. There was even a faint scent of herbal wafting from it as she drew closer. 

It was the snakeblood fruit. 

Yana can have more time now. Natalie smiled from the bottom of her heart upon the thought, and her eyes shone in happiness.
