The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Natalie came out of her house and spotted the car parked under a street lamp.

The yellow light under the street lamp stretched a man’s already long silhouette even longer.

Just his back alone was enough to make people assume that he could be a handsome gentleman, and Natalie was no exception. She looked at the figure while lost in thought.

When he heard the sounds of footsteps coming down the stairs, Samuel slowly turned around and fixed her with a stare.

As Natalie was worried about Franklin’s health, the first question that came out of her mouth when she approached Samuel was about him. “How is Franklin?”

“Not so good.”

Biting her lips, Natalie could not hide the look of concern in her eyes.

Samuel opened the passenger door for her, and Natalie entered the car worriedly.

On their way to the house, Samuel started to speak.

“You may not be able to go back home tonight,” he said with a smirk.

“I know.”

“Won’t your sweetheart be bothered about it?”

Upon hearing the question, Natalie was dumbstruck. She cast a look at the man driving next to her.

“I went to check on him before I left the house. He is already asleep. He won’t be bothered by it.”

Samuel caught on to her words quickly. “You and him… Aren’t you sleeping together in the same room?”

“No, I’m used to sleeping alone.”

Her answer made his gaze turn gentle. Then, he smiled.

She had noticed his smile and furrowed. “Samuel, it seems like you are very concerned about my sweetheart.”

“Yes.” Samuel snorted and glanced at her briefly. “If there is an opportunity, I would like to meet him.”

She could not find any fault in his statement.

However, Natalie gave it a deep thought, and she could feel the presence of jealousy in it.

Is this… jealousy toward a love rival? But, it can’t be. My face is full of freckles, and even I’m not’too fond of it. Could it be that Samuel can see through it and has noticed my inner beauty?

With both of them lost in their thoughts, they did not speak anymore.

Upon reaching the Bowers residence, Natalie followed Samuel in.

She quickly put on indoor slippers but did not realize she had worn them incorrectly. Then, she went straight to the bedroom on the second floor.

Evidently, Ms. Nichols looks more like a mother to Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia than Yara. The concerned look on her face for her own children… I’ve never seen a similar expression on Yara’s face. Anyhow, I do understand why the picky Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia like Ms. Nichols so much even though she is not beautiful now.
