The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 

Turning around, Natalie saw Samuel. 

Even with a layer of lace in between, his fingers were still gently rubbing her waist, seemingly filled with rage but carrying a tinge of flirting to it. 

“It‘s only a few bottles of wine, and you‘re treating her as your bosom friend. Aren‘t you a little too hasty, Mr. Lightwood?” Samuel‘s grim tone revealed the immense fury in him. 

At once, Hector‘s body stiffened for a brief moment. Even the bright smile on his face froze. 

He could not figure out why Samuel acted that way as he could clearly sense his animosity toward him. 

Being extremely sure that he had never offended Samuel, Hector figured that the only possible reason was how he treated Natalie as his bosom friend. 

Of course, he could not deny his admiration for her. 

But after having a taste of Samuel‘s excessive domination toward Natalie, he dared not express his feelings. 

“I didn‘t mean that, Mr. Bowers.” Hector cleared his throat before he continued, “I see Ms. Natalie as a friend. I wanted to treat her and let her have a taste of a bottle of wine that I‘ve treasured for years since I know she loves wine so much.” 

As soon as Natalie heard that there was good wine, her almond–shaped eyes lit up at once. 

“Great! I’m sure Mr. Lightwood‘s wine is a precious and rare one.” 

“If you like it, I‘ll... 

Before Hector could finish his sentence, Samuel grimly interrupted, “There‘s no need.” 

“Says who?” Natalie‘s eyes were as wide as saucers as she threw Samuel a pouting look. I‘ve already agreed to the gift. Why is this man rejecting it in my place? 

“You don‘t want it,” Samuel suddenly uttered. 

09:58 OO.

“I want it,” Natalie argued. 

Samuel tightened his grip on her waist as he called her name out with his deep voice. 

“Nat.” 

“I do want it...” 

Ahem! Ahem!Hector deliberately cleared his throat again before he interjected, “I guess I‘ll have to take my leave first. My friend seems to be looking for me.”
