The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

With that, Natalie pulled her hand away from Samuel.

“There’s nothing to worry about,” she said as she took the bandage and pressed it onto her wound. “I’m still equipped with medical knowledge despite being a coroner. I know the state of my injury very well.”

Samuel narrowed his eyes as he could sense that Natalie was trying to draw a line between them.

As soon as he approached her, she would distance herself from him.

His concern for her irritated her.

Just how much does this woman dislike me?

If it were not for the presence of Franklin and Sophia, he would like to ask Natalie what was going on in her mind.

The two children did not understand what was happening between the adults. They misinterpreted it as Samuel hurting Natalie while cleaning her wound earlier.

Thus, they proceeded to surrounded Natalie.

“Are you okay, Natalie?” Franklin asked, shooting a resentful look toward Samuel. “He’s a thirty year-old man, so he acts too presumptuous at times. Don’t let it bother you.”

Sophia could not say anything. However, her eyes were visibly red. She looked like a vulnerable and pitiful bunny.

Natalie was touched by the actions of the children. Slowly, she shook off the mixed emotions she had because of Yara and Samuel.

“Don’t worry, Franklin and Sophia. I’m fine,” she reassured.

Witnessing the change in Natalie’s attitude toward the children, Samuel felt baffled.

She could be as gentle as a lamb when she was with the children. Yet, she always acted like a puffed-up pufferfish in front of him.

The bleeding finally stopped.

Skillfully, Natalie applied some antibiotic cream to her wound.

Soon enough, a feminine voice was heard from the porch.

“Gavin, is Samuel at home?” the voice asked.

“Yes, Mr. Samuel is having his breakfast in the dining room now.”

“I finally got a half-day off, so I rushed here from the filming set. I haven’t had my breakfast yet.”

“Would you like to have it with Mr. Samuel?”
