Chapter 253
Hearing that, Samuel quirked his brows and pinched Natalie‘s chin.
“When did you get so familiar with him?” he questioned.
“How do I know?” Natalie could not help but rolled her eyes. “Isn‘t he your best friend?”
Samuel raised the corners of his lips slightly and uttered, “Huh, then I guess you‘re not familiar with him.” Then, he gave her a big smooch before averting his gaze to Justin.
In actuality, Justin went there to ask if his outfit fit the aesthetics of a woman since he wanted to show it to Jane. Little did he know that he would have to see them display affection for each other before he could get an answer.
When Samuel wasn‘t in love, he was like an emotionless sculpture. Is he trying to make up for it by displaying his affection as often as possible now? This is too torturing. Why are they tormenting me?
After he finally calmed his emotions, he queried, “Samuel, shall we depart now? Or else we‘ll be late for the banquet.”
Only then did Natalie know Samuel had a banquet to attend that night.
Since she was not interested in banquets, she would rather stay in the mansion to read some medical books or be in the research laboratory to experiment with the medicines.
“Nat, go with me,” Samuel chimed.
“Can I stay at the mansion instead?” Frowning, she looked at him puzzledly. “You didn‘t tell me anything about it.”
“If I told you beforehand, you would find a way to not attend it tonight,” he refuted, pinching her cheek. “Many women dream of attending this kind of banquet. You‘re the only want who wants to avoid it.”
Samuel was right. If he had told her a day earlier, she would have thought of a way to get out of it.
“Do I have to go?” she asked.
“You didn’t agree to be my woman, but at least be my plus one.”
Natalie could feel the love and affection that he gave her so far.
