The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Natalie looked at Samuel with her tear-stained eyes.

She didn’t even have the opportunity to wipe her tears away before they started rolling down from her cheeks, and one thing Natalie disliked was for others to see the weak side of her, especially if that person was Samuel.

“It’s none of your business,” she said, gịving him a cold glance in the process before she flung his hand away.

Natalie basically ran out from the kindergarten.

In all these years, she had tried her best to forget and let go of all the pain that antagonized her, but she couldn’t help but relive those painful memories when she saw Sophia, who was the same age as her twins.

“Are you all right?” A woman in white, Molly Larkins, walked to Natalie’s side and gave her tissues, causing Natalie to turn her head.

“You are?”

“I’m Sophia and Franklin’s art teacher, Molly. I meant no harm. You just looked so sad, so I thought of giving you tissues.”

“Thank you.”

Natalie then took the tissues from her and wiped her tears with them.

“You’re Sophia and Franklin’s…”

“Friend,” Natalie replied slowly, looking into Molly’s eyes when she answered.

For one, she was not related to Sophia and Franklin by blood. Hence she considered herself as more of a friend than an elder to them.

Molly then brushed her bangs and continued, “And, you and Mr. Bowers…?”

Natalie immediately caught the hint when Molly asked, seeing through her antics.

“You’ve got the hots for Samuel?”

Molly, on the other hand, never thought that Natalie could be so straightforward. Her face immediately flushed red as she stuttered, “Y-you-”

“I see, so you fancy him.”

Does she think love can bring anyone together? Does she really think any woman can handle someone like Samuel?
