The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47

The distance between them was too close. Moreover, Samuel’s exquisite facial features were very alluring

Natalie had to tell herself repeatedly to keep it together. Yet, she could feel her face burning up as the blood rushed to her cheeks.

I don’t like him. I definitely do not like him.

No matter what the twins’ mother was like, Samuel had children with her. That meant they had a special relationship.

Furthermore, Samuel was close to Yara. It was possible that they had an unspeakable relationship.

Aside from that, no man would find Natalie’s freckled face charming.

She placed her hand against Samuel’s chest. “Your jokes are getting out of hand. You could easily get any woman you want. Don’t tell me you like women like me? My freckles are hereditary. They will get worse as I age. Are you sure you won’t get disgusted by them?”

She was not trying to mock herself. Instead, she was trying to annoy Samuel.

“I won’t,” he deadpanned.

Natalie’s eyes widened as she raged, “Are you blind?”

“What do you think?” Samuel retorted, his gaze locked on her face. “Beauties get hit on by too many people. It’s better to be slightly ugly. That way, no one would hit on you.”

“You-” Natalie could not even finish her sentence. She was utterly defeated by his logic.

Did he damage his head or something? Or is it because he has seen too many beauties that he finds my hyper realistic mask fresh and unique?

“But do you know…” Natalie paused halfway through her sentence.

“What?”

“Do you know that I’m a mother?” Natalie asked. She moistened her lips and glared at him provokingly. “It seems like you don’t know. Well, I have not only one, but two sons.”

A glint of anger flashed through Samuel’s eyes when he heard her words.

“You don’t even know me well, and you know nothing about my past,” she stated, taking the chance to push him away. “So don’t try to use the children’s liking toward me to make me their new mommy and give them a complete family. Blood is irreplaceable. I’m not their mom. Moreover, I have my own children that need my care.”
