The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459 The Playful Old Man

Thomas was equally surprised to see Yandel at a stone-gambling market.

“Yandel…” Thomas said, his gaze trailing off toward Natalie. “Aren’t you together with Melissa? What are you doing with your… secretary?”

Yandel eyed Yeva and smiled.

“Come on, Mr. Nichols. You’re a married man yourself, but I see you’re still having fun outside. We work hard every day, so we should also play hard.”

Thomas originally wanted to barrage Yandel with criticisms because he was cheating on his daughter, but now that Yandel called him out, there was no way Thomas could do that. It would be too hypocritical for him to denounce what Yandel did, so the old man just smiled.

“Melissa is good, but she’s got a temper. My secretary is way better,” Yandel remarked, pinching Natalie’s face.

Yandel did this because he wanted to play along with Natalie, but his fingers were actually shaking when he did that.

Even he could not tell why.

Natalie took his cue and lowered her head in embarrassment.

When Yeva saw this, she felt she was challenged.

She crossed her hands around Thomas and asked him, “Do you think I’m better than your old wife?”

“What are you talking about? Watch what you’re saying,” Thomas said seriously, but his words amounted to no threat.

“What do you mean? I don’t care what you do when you’re with her, but you’re with me right now. You have to at least make me happy when we’re together,” Yeva replied. “Besides, you know I’m behaving like this because you pamper me too much.”

Thomas knew full well that Yeva was someone full of drama.

Sometimes he wondered why he even fell for Yeva. Perhaps it was because men tend to want a breath of fresh air once they hit a certain age. They got bored of women who take care of the family and started looking for women whom they had to take care of and pamper instead.

Thomas softened his tone. “You’re prettier and more attractive than Yvonne. I really hope you’re the one I married instead of her.”
