The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539 It Is True

“Samuel, you are-”

Natalie could feel Samuel’s anger through the tight grip with which her wrist was being held.

“You don’t have to cast your dignity aside just to please him.” Samuel gazed at Natalie with tenderness. “I’m sorry for my late arrival. You must have suffered a lot.”

Samuel took the blame upon himself for not being there sooner to have prevented his grandfather from abusing her.

Natalie tried to pull her wrist out of his grip to no avail.

“It isn’t like that, Samuel!” Natalie looked up to meet his eyes.

“Don’t defend him, Natalie.”

Samuel’s gaze remained cold as he vividly recalled Kenneth whipping Natalie with a cane. It was from that moment that he had lost hope in his grandfather.

Natalie was amused and exasperated at Samuel’s stubbornness.

“I’m not defending your grandfather!”

“I don’t believe you.”

“It’s true!”

Samuel gazed sullenly at Natalie, who did not know how else to convince him.

The children leaped to their feet at once.

“Daddy, you’ve misunderstood Great-grandpa!”

“He’s much nicer to Mommy today!”

“He did not force Mommy to kneel before him!”
