The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436 You Are My Priority

“That’s impossible,” Samuel responded with his fingers tensed. “Scarlett tried to harm Natalie, so regardless of whether her family wants to back her up or not, I’m not letting her off the hook. Those greedy Hamiltons must be out of their minds if they think they could gain my favor by merely giving up a pawn!”

“I understand, Mr. Bowers,” Billy replied.

“Go then.”

After that, Samuel went back in, lifted Natalie’s blanket, and proceeded to lie down beside her.

Natalie’s waist was very soft. Her body was warm while her hair smelled of herbs, and Samuel could not help but pull her closer into his arms to revel in that fragrance.

Even though it was not the first time he hugged her, Samuel could still feel an indescribable stir from deep within whenever he did.

“Good night,” he said to Natalie, who was sound asleep, before closing his eyes.

The next day, Samuel was no longer beside her by the time Natalie woke up.

Natalie rubbed her eyes and spotted him sitting on the couch at the side, reading documents from the company.

His facial features were prominently outlined under the golden shine of the morning sun and looked exquisite.

“Why are you going through documents this early in the morning?” Natalie furrowed her brows and asked.

“I had quality sleep sleeping beside you. So by seven o’clock, I couldn’t go back to sleep even if I wanted to. Thus, I decided to go through some documents,” Samuel said with a magnetic voice while he put down the documents. “You can go and wash up. Breakfast should be here any minute now.”

After Natalie was done freshening up, there was a knock on the door.

Knock. Knock.

“I’ll open the door.” Natalie slipped into her slippers and headed to the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Billy standing there with an anxious expression. He wore a tense frown and looked as though there was something urgent that he needed to report to Samuel.

“Ms. Nichols?” Billy did not expect Natalie to be the one opening the door, so he was a little stunned.
