Chapter 729 Inherited From Daddy
Natalie’s eyes were still half-mast from having just woken from a deep sleep, and her sweet, gentle voice was tickling Samuel’s ear.
Instead of answering Natalie, he repeated his question, “I asked how your nap was?”
“Comfortable.” Natalie nodded as she responded unguardedly.
“My shoulder is numb from acting as a pillow for you, so you better perform well in bed tonight until I’m satisfied.” He turned to her, staring into her eyes with a burning gaze.
Natalie just wanted to offer to massage his shoulder earlier, but he took it the wrong way, and the entire conversation had swerved to PG 18.
Lifting her eyes to meet his dark ones, she could read the depth of his longing for her. That infatuation was on the borderline of paranoia and unhealthy obsession.
His fiery gaze seared her, causing her heart to pound fervently. She realized belatedly that she had already mumbled a soft “yes” when she snapped out of her daze.
After that, they both got out of the car, and Samuel habitually reached for her hand as they walked back to the Bowers residence.
Gavin hadn’t seen Natalie for the past few days, so he was glad when she came back. He greeted her with a kind smile, “Ms. Natalie, you’ve finally returned.”
“Thank you for taking care of the kids during my absence,” Natalie said, returning a friendly smile.
“You don’t have to thank me for it. It’s part of my job.”
At that moment, four chubby kids exchanged glances when they heard Natalie’s and Gavin’s voices. Realizing that Natalie was back, they raced to her side.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
