The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 

Shawn looked at the smile on Natalie‘s face with tenderness in his eyes. 

Yes, she‘s right. My beauty standards are high, and the woman I‘m in love with is special. 

Shawn said carefully, “I don‘t want you to misunderstand the relationship between me and her.” 

Natalie cracked her neck and rubbed her shoulders in exhaustion. She said, “I didn‘t misunderstand. I‘m just disgusted with her. I‘m too lazy to entertain her antics.” 

I‘ve been pretending all day long. She might not be tired, but I am! 

Shawn pursed his lips and kept quiet. 

He found himself falling harder for Natalie as he looked at her. 

All of a sudden, the outstanding ladies of prominent families were boring to Shawn compared to Natalie. 

How great would it be if I could spend the rest of my life with her? 

As the sun sank, Natalie had no idea that Shawn had already promised himself to look after her forever. 

Shawn sent Natalie home after they left the restaurant. 

These days, Xavian was away from home. He attended the summer camp organized by the kindergarten which would last five days and four nights. 

Initially, the boy refused to go because he thought it was too childish and boring, but Natalie persuaded him. She wanted him to have a normal childhood just like any other five–year–old boy despite his intelligence. 

Due to his mother‘s insistence, Xavian had no choice but to pack his bags obediently and leave. 

The elevator door slid open when it reached the floor where Natalie was staying. 

Just as she was fishing for the keys in her pocket, she saw two familiar young children 

squatting beside the door. 

The two kids looked up at her in unison when they heard footsteps. 

As soon as they saw her, their huge eyes lit up with joy. 

Natalie was completely shocked, as she did not expect them to be here.

“Franklin, Sophia... Why are you two here?“, 

Sophia could not speak, so Franklin spoke on their behalf. “We were just walking around, and we ended up here. You came back right after we arrived.” 

Franklin tried to sound as casual as possible. 

He did not want Natalie to know that he and his sister had gone through a lot of trouble just to find her address. They had sneaked out after school, came all the way to Natalie‘s place, and waited for her for more than two hours. 

Trying to keep all these a secret, Franklin acted cool. 

Sophia, on the other hand, did not bother at all. 

She hugged Natalie and said with a soft voice, “I miss...” 

Natalie‘s heart melted when she heard Sophia‘s adorable voice. “Did you miss me?” 

Sophia blinked and nodded profusely. 

“Well, since you guys are already here, why don‘t you guys come in and rest?” Natalie opened the door and let them in. 

She filled two mugs with water and gave them to Franklin and Sophia. 

1. go. 

They must really like me a lot. Or else, why are they willing to wait outside my door for such a long time without any complaints?

Knowing that her cooking skills were not the best, she simply took out her phone to order some burgers and fried chicken.
