The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275 

Samuel left as soon as he finished, and Gale could feel his knees buckling from the pressure. 

The latter stood rooted on the spot for a long time and thought about it before he eventually realized that the girl he was chasing after might be Samuel‘s prey. 

On the other hand, Natalie no longer wanted to stay in her current outfit with her face exposed in the banquet hall. 

She went to the washroom and dumped the maid outfit after changing into the gown she came in. 

Then she put on her hyper–realistic mask and made sure everything was flawless before she headed out. 

After circling around the hall, she went back to Samuel. 

Their eyes met. 

He looked at Natalie with a certain profoundness in his eyes as his lips curled into a smirk. The intensity of his gaze felt as though he could see through her thoughts. 

On the other hand, Natalie was at a loss for words as she stared at Samuel‘s ambiguous smile. 

Does Samuel know something? That‘s impossible, right? If he knows who I really am, why didn‘t he confront me? 

Natalie quietly reminded herself that Samuel was not an ordinary guy and that she needed to stay calm in front of him. 

With that in mind, she clenched her fists a little. 

“You were gone for a long time. Where did you go?” Samuel asked. 

“Maybe it‘s because I drank a little too much. I felt a little tipsy.” Natalie held her head to make it look like she was telling the truth. “Phoebe dirtied my dress, so she took me to the guest room to change. With how warm the room was and my dizziness, I decided to go out for some fresh air when she didn‘t come back for me. I‘m feeling a lot better after that.” Natalie deliberately made it a half–truth. 

The truth part was things Samuel could definitely find out if he wanted to, while the other half were things that she did not want him to know. 

She had been hiding her secret for five years. 

Even her friends like Cecilia or aides like Yandel were not aware of what actually happened to her. 

She‘s still trying to keep the truth from me? So be it!
