The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231 

It was already one in the morning when Samuel got back home. 

He had received a visit from the Loang‘s royal siblings to discuss the mining rights of the vein. After the meeting, he had arranged a welcome banquet for Prince Richard and Princess Kelly 

The prince, Richard Sinclair, had tried to matchmake him with his sister, Kelly Sinclair, throughout the entire banquet, while Kelly had been aggressive in her approach by continuously sending him sultry looks. 

Seeing as she was royalty, Samuel had maintained his bearing and didn‘t reject her outright. 

He had merely gulped champagne down his throat with a deadpan expression throughout the entire banquet, not wanting to give the royal siblings even a chance to misunderstand him. 

Samuel was slightly sluggish from the alcohol by the time he got home. 

After unlocking the door and passing the dark hallway, he saw a soft, orange glow coming from the living room. 

He had told Gavin not to stay up late for him, since the elder was in his later years. He hadn‘t expected Gavin to disobey him and wait up for him even after midnight. 

Samuel loosened his tie and started unbuttoning his shirt as he slowly headed toward the living room 

He didn‘t see Gavin there as he neared the living room, but a petite figure was lying on the couch with her eyes closed. 

The soft light shone on her face, leaving long stripe shadows on her face from her dark lashes. At that moment, her countenance was not gorgeous, but the quiet and elegant vibe she gave out captivated him, urging him to approach her. 

He didn‘t care for the reason she was there. 

He merely wanted to be closer to her. 

He got down on one knee to get a closer look at her. There was mirth in his eyes as he admired the most precious gem in his life. 

Samuel lowered his head the next second and kissed her tenderly. 

Natalie wasn‘t asleep. She was so lost in her thoughts as she tried to figure out a plan that she didn‘t even notice Samuel had returned.
