The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357

Thinking about Samuel’s idea, Natalie realized that it was indeed brilliant.

Unfortunately, it didn’t cross her mind when they were in the ward.

She had planned to let Lionel vent his anger before seeking his understanding and trust to treat Lia with acupuncture. Subsequently, Lia lost massive amounts of blood from puking and needed a blood transfusion from her brother.

Lost in thought, Natalie didn’t answer Samuel’s question, causing his frown to intensify.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Since the matter has been resolved perfectly, there’s no need to be pedantic about the process.” When Natalie felt his fingertips on her neck, she tucked her head by reflex. “No matter what, the fact that Lia was cured is a silver lining indeed. After all, I do not wish for her to die because of

me.”

“Nat, have you ever thought about yourself?” Samuel continued questioning.

“I have.” Natalie nodded. “The Johnson siblings have a good reputation. Hence, I’m confident doing this.”

“If you have thought about yourself, have you then thought about me?”

“You.”

Stumped, Natalie didn’t know what to say.

“It seems you have not considered my feelings at all.” Samuel suddenly moved within breathing distance of Natalie’s ear while his body leaned against her. “Nat, I’m not as easy-going as I look. To me, I don’t care if Lia or Lionel dies. You are all that matters to me.”

Caught by surprise, Natalie looked up and locked eyes with Samuel.

His hostility makes him feel so distant.

All his gestures, from his gaze to his breath, seemed to be exuding an air of possessiveness.
