The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391

It was not until she felt someone next to her on the mattress that Natalie realized someone had entered her bedroom.

As she rolled over, her nose rubbed against the nose of the man next to her.

Samuel looked at her with eyes that seemed to speak volumes.

His lips were parted and rather impatient while his hot breath brushed against her face.

Natalie’s heartbeat increased uncontrollably as she blushed deeply.

Samuel observed her delicate face, knowing that she was feeling uneasy but he could not help teasing her.

With measured deliberation, he brushed the tip of his nose against her, and muttered in a low voice, “What are you thinking so seriously about?”

Natalie pushed at him, trying to move his body away but she soon realized that he had not budged at all.

“Yes?”

“I… I’m thinking about work.”

Natalie was telling the truth, but not the whole truth.

Even though she and Samuel had opened up to each other, it did not mean that she had to reveal everything without reservation.

Everyone had secrets.

Just as Samuel had never mentioned the feud amongst the Bowers family members or Franklin and Sophia’s biological mother.

Natalie’s background and the agony she had suffered were her deepest darkest secrets.

She was not ready to reveal these to anyone.

Natalie shook her head and then nodded. “Not really that tricky but it is somewhat a challenge to me.”

“Do you need my help to resolve it?”

“Samuel, I don’t need you to take action yet,” Natalie said softly. “You are my most powerful weapon now. To make use of your help for some small obstacles like these is an overkill.”

Samuel sighed softly. He understood that the real reason was nothing to do with overkilling but rather because she was unwilling to reveal her deepest scars to him.
