The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513 Unworthy Contender

This is outrageous!

Humiliated, Cherine yelled indignantly, “Why would you let a woman like her wipe you down instead of me?”

Samuel took Natalie’s tiny hand and pressed it to his chest. He scoffed, “Do you truly believe that you hold a candle to her?”

“W-Where do I fall short?” Cherine’s confidence wavered under Samuel’s cold gaze.

“From the top of your head to the bottom of your feet,” Samuel replied, his eyes glinting with hostility. “Leave! I don’t want you tainting the view.”

Cherine could not believe the words that were coming out of the man’s mouth.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she ran away, sobbing.

However, her hasty actions caused her to stumble over her own feet. Cherine wobbled on her stilettos and crashed onto the ground. Despite her mortification, she turned to peek at Samuel, hoping that he would be concerned for her.

Her heart shattered when she realized that Samuel did not even spare her a glance. She pathetically climbed to her feet and left with her tail between her legs.

“Let go!” Natalie struggled to free her hand from Samuel’s strong grip.

“My shirt is still wet. Don’t you want to continue to wipe me dry?” Samuel teased with a devilish smirk.

“No, thanks. My arm is sore,” Natalie muttered, pursing her lips. Her zeal from moments ago was nowhere to be found.

Natalie quickly withdrew her hand when she felt Samuel’s fingers loosen. However, the man’s arm snaked around her slender waist, and he pulled her close.

“Are you still mad?”

“What’s there to be mad about?” Natalie retorted.

“I swear that I didn’t let the woman touch me; not even a graze!” Samuel defended himself. “Don’t worry. I know my boundaries, and I promise that I’m clean-”

“Samuel, what in the world are you saying? Who cares whether you’re clean or not?” Natalie interrupted. Contrary to her harsh words, a warmth spread through her heart.

Samuel knew that Natalie had experienced multiple counts of betrayal in the past, so he was on a mission to shower her with love and give her the security she had been deprived of.

Samuel’s gaze riveted on Natalie’s delicate face. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed.
