The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300

Knitting her brows, Natalie turned around to see Christopher.

She realized that he had already let go of the weeping Jacyntha and stood in front of her.

She looked at him, her eyes glistening. “I am heading home.”

“Home? Your arms are injured. Let me take you to the hospital.”

Christopher took a glance at her bloodstained lacy sleeves. Automatically, he approached her, wanting to hold her wrist. Natalie swiftly avoided him, leaving his hand hanging mid-air.

“You…”

“It’s just a minor wound. I don’t need you to take me to the hospital.” She covered up her injury and muttered, “I think it’s best you stay to take care of Ms. Smith. She almost fell off the building, and she’s still emotionally unstable.”

Christopher furrowed his brows and clenched his fists.

His grip was so tight that even his knuckles turned white and started cracking.

What an ingrate! I wanted to care for herwholeheartedly, yet she has the audacity to reject me? If it were anyone else, I would have thrown her into the sea to feed the sharks.

Anyhow, he could not ignore the fact that she was injured, regardless of how infuriated he was.

Christopher reprimanded her, “Natalie, don’t you understand what I said?”

“Wasn’t my reply crystal clear?” Natalie questioned him. “It’s just a small matter. I can deal with it myself. Thank you.”

Thereafter, she left without taking a glance at him.

Jacyntha was still slumped against the rooftop walls. The uncontrollable tears had completely ruined her makeup. She looked unkempt, disheveled, and pitiful at the same time.

Looming over her, Christopher yelled, “Jacyntha, if it weren’t for her, you’d be a

piece of dead meat by now.”

Sobbing, Jacyntha’s silence implied her admission.
