The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 515

A giggle escaped Natalie’s lips when she saw Malcolm’s frantic state.

Her titter grew into full-blown laughter as her shoulders shook with mirth.

Samuel pulled Natalie closer to himself and said, “Master, if she’s the junior that you were talking about, then I take back everything I said. Nat is the love of my life. If she ever asks you to introduce her to other men, please deny her and tell her to stop being deluded.”

Malcolm’s eyes darted between Samuel and Natalie, who was still in Samuel’s arms.

“You’re a couple?”

“Yes.” Samuel’s voice rang with certainty.

Never in a million years did Malcolm think that the two apprentices he wished to set up would find their way to each other without his intervention. It was amazing news.

“This is great!” Malcolm was practically leaping with elation.

Natalie’s smile disappeared as she prodded Samuel’s cheek. “Samuel, do you have no sense of humor at all? Can’t you tell that I was just joking?”

Raising an eyebrow, Samuel countered, “Do you think I’d let my woman make such a joke?”

“Got it. I won’t do it again.”

Natalie arduously pried Samuel’s fingers from her waist. Although they had engaged in activities far more intimate than this, Natalie still felt awkward about being lovey-dovey with people around.

“Master, Senior, I’ll serve you some tea,” Natalie suggested.

Natalie skilfully prepared the tea and proffered Malcolm and Samuel each a cup.

“This must be fate!” Malcolm marveled as he sipped on his tea. “I thought that the two of you would have no connection whatsoever. Who knew you would be interested in each other!”

“Samuel, you know about medicines?” Natalie murmured.
