The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Natalie let Ross go, completely unaware that Natasha had seen the entire scene unfold.

“How should I address you?” Ross asked with his brows furrowed, as though he found it hard to even ask that question.

“Since we’re out of the office, I’ll address you as Ross, and you can call me Natalie.” Natalie was used to her carefree lifestyle, which she had adopted since she was young. She was definitely not used to becoming the center of everyone’s attention, more so to be addressed as the Chairman.

“N-Natalie?”

“Yeah.”

Observing the awkward expression Ross put on as he tried to force her name out of his lips, Xavian burst into laughter. “My Mommy doesn’t bite! You don’t need to be afraid of her!”

“You are..?”

Natalie bent down and ruffled the young child’s head and said, “This is my youngest son, Xavian Nichols.”

“Youngest son?”

“Yes. He has an older brother.”

Ross carefully observed Natalie and Xavian. He was once again startled by this young

woman.

She was only in her mid-twenties and had already given birth to a set of twins. Furthermore, she had single-handedly built the Dream Company. There was so much more to Natalie than what met the eye.

“What about their father?”

“Their biological father had gotten himself into trouble with the law and disappeared. I’m guessing that he found his final resting place in the countryside

somewhere.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Ross instantly apologized.

“It’s all right.” Xavian smiled up at Ross and tugged the end of his shirt. “My brother and I are working really hard to find a new partner for my Mommy. We’ve already found someone, but my Mommy is too stubborn to say yes.”

“Please help my brother and me to convince her so that we can finally have a step dad!” Xavian said with a firm expression.

However, what came after his request was a strong flick to the forehead by his mother.

“Ouch! Mommy, aren’t you afraid of hurting me?”

“Are you still going to speak nonsense?”

“I won’t anymore.” Xavian shook his head and frowned.

The three of them then left the market and headed to a nearby restaurant.

She was… too ugly!

Unbelievable!
