The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Yohan choked on his drink when he heard his name. “Excuse me, Steven Bowers. I’m ten times more handsome than you are.”

Steven was blissfully unaware of the tension in the air thickening and continued, “This is witchcraft! Is that woman a witch?”

Bang!

A glass of wine hit the table with a large force, its contents accidentally spilling out due to the sudden movement.

Steven and Yohan were startled at the sound. When they came back to their senses, they noticed that Samuel’s expression had turned serious.

Yohan glanced at Steven and widened his eyes, a sign of asking, “What’s going on?”

Steven was also in a state of confusion. He had no idea that he had accidentally offended his brother with his words.

Samuel got up and headed toward the door.

Steven blurted out, “Where are you going, Sam?”

“Going to see if that man is really as handsome as you say he is,” Samuel said faintly as his long, slender fingers rolled up his long sleeves, showing off his muscular arms. He looked like a soldier who was ready to engage in combat.

The door slammed shut. All who were left in the room were Steven and Yohan, who both had equally dumbstruck looks on their faces.

“Since when did your brother become this vain?”

“I have no idea.”

“Didn’t you say that he had started caring about his looks?”

“Yeah, he did. But not to that extent!”

Back in the restaurant, Natalie suddenly had the urge to use the restroom in the

middle of her meal. She then left the table.

The walk to the restroom was pretty long, considering it was at the end of a long corridor. However, she had only taken a few steps into it when a man rushed out.

Just as Natalie was about to collide with the man, a hand reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her out of the way.

As her back was to the unknown person, she had no idea who it was.

The man who nearly collided with her apologized hurriedly and quickly walked away, but the person who was behind her refused to let her go.

Natalie’s first instinct was to raise her elbow to hit the person behind her. Before she could even move, however, her elbow was stopped.
