The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63

Natalie was indeed staring at Samuel without blinking, but it was still embarrassing to be pointed out by Xavian. She felt so awkward that she hoped the ground would swallow her up.

“Don’t be silly, Xavian!” Natalie cleared her throat.

“I’m not being silly! Mommy, you are adding the steak sauce into the salad! The salad is ruined!” Xavian pouted.

Natalie lowered her gaze at the salad in her bowl.

Just like what Xavian had said, she was adding the spicy sauce she added to the steak just now into the salad bowl.

She knew that Xavian was telling the truth, but there was no way she could bring herself to admit that she was indeed staring at Samuel.

“You don’t get it. I like eating this way.” Trying to pretend nothing had happened, Natalie stuffed a mouthful of salad topped with the spicy steak sauce into her mouth without hesitation.

The steak sauce was never a good combination with the salad.

However, she had to maintain her image in front of her son, so she kept a straight face despite the weird taste in her mouth.

Hang in there! You can‘t embarrass yourself in front of your son! 

Natalie forced herself to swallow the salad, and Xavian did not notice anything wrong with his mother.

Samuel, on the other hand, was filling Natalie’s glass with soft drinks. He looked amused and was wearing a charming grin.

She is so cute when she‘s acting stubborn.. 

After dinner, Natalie took a glance at the greasy dishes and cutleries and rolled up her sleeves. She then piled the dishes up and carried them into the kitchen to wash them.

Meanwhile, Xavian dragged Samuel into his room.

Xavian sat cross-legged on his bed while Samuel sat on the floor mat. They stared at each other wordlessly for some time.

“I remember you said you weren’t interested in Mommy when we met last time!” said Xavian as he rested his chin on his hand and lifted his eyebrows.

“You’re right.”

“I’ve already told you that my mommy is excellent. She has both talent and beauty. Now you know I am not lying to you, don’t you? So, do you regret saying that? Are you planning to change your mind?” Xavian said proudly.

“No, I’m not changing my mind.”

“What?” Xavian was enraged as soon as he heard Samuel’s response. Thinking that Samuel was only playing with his mother’s feelings, he exclaimed, “How dare you flirt with my mommy when you have another woman in your mind?”
