The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301

“Samuel, have you been waiting for me this whole time?” Natalie asked.

“Yeah.” Samuel’s voice was as deep as usual.

A frown formed on his face when his gaze fell upon Natalie’s wounded arm. Although he didn’t ask her about it, he had displeasure written all over his face.

“I thought I’d be able to stay at the banquet till the end if I didn’t bring you along, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference!” Natalie exclaimed with a chuckle before he could say anything.

Little did she know, her smile and laughter only stabbed at Samuel’s heart like a knife.

There’s no way she got those wounds by herself. She’s just pretending to be fine by laughing it off.

Samuel exuded a cold yet elegant aura when he drove with one hand on the steering wheel.

His grip on it grew increasingly tight as he glanced at her from time to time.

Da*n… This guy is getting increasingly difficult to fool… He doesn’t limit my personal freedom, nor does he stop me from doing what I like. However, he really hates seeing me get hurt. I got a tiny chunk of my skin scraped off when I tried to save Jacyntha earlier. To make matters worse, I’m wearing a white lace dress today! While the wound itself isn’t serious, it does look very visually disturbing. If I tell Samuel it’s a minor injury, he might actually lock me up in bed for a month until it recovers!

Natalie let out a sigh at the thought of that. Eventually, she glanced at Samuel and said, “Samuel, my wound hurts.”

Samuel simply kept quiet.

Seeing as he wasn’t responding, Natalie repeated herself in a more serious tone, “It really hurts, Samuel. Please hurry up and take me home, okay? I want to get it treated…”

Despite her submissive attitude, all Samuel said was, “I’ll teach you a lesson when we get back.”

As Samuel floored the accelerator, his sharp eyes caught sight of a Ferrari in the rear-view mirror.

Although both cars were only a few feet apart, the light from the Ferrari’s high beam headlamps illuminated the entire Hummer.

The man in the Ferrari was still inside the vehicle, but the tension between the two could clearly be felt.
