The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 480

Chapter 480 Is He Mad

Natalie was upset and a little indignant.

She knew Samuel cared for her, but she found it hard to accept his authoritarian behavior.

There’s no need to strip me naked to examine me for any injury.

Samuel did not notice any wound on her body. After a while, he helped her with her robe and tie it properly.

“I was worried you were lying to me again. I know of your stubbornness all too well.” Samuel did not apologize to Natalie. However, his tone turned gentle.

“I understand…”

Natalie lowered her eyes.

She had been living independently for a long time. Even though she knew she had someone she could rely upon now, she was not used to depending on anyone.

I am injured. It was just a three-word phrase, yet it was challenging enough to get those words out of her mouth.

“Are you mad at me?” Samuel asked.

“No.” Natalie lifted her head and looked into Samuel’s eyes. “I know you care for me. It’s my problem. I don’t know how to show you my vulnerable side.”

The same goes for the wound on my hand, the mask on my face, and even the hatred in my heart.

She knew Samuel was keen to know everything about her. However, she did not want to mention those things whenever she faced him.

A series of tragedies that happened five years ago had been a massive blow to her. With that, it had caused her to form a somewhat rebellious personality.

“Am I being unreasonable?” There was somehow a trace of panic in Natalie’s eyes. “If you treat me the same, I think I will be mad as well.”

Samuel let out a sigh as he caressed her head.

“Silly girl!” Samuel murmured. “If you couldn’t do it now, I will wait until the day you can finally do it. We have a lifetime ahead of us. I will always be with you. I believe you will be able to open up to me completely one day.”

“Okay.”
