The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 738

Chapter 738 Samuel The Closet Beast

“Hmm?” It took Natalie a while before she realized what he meant. By the time she did, she couldn’t resist smiling. “He is no different from a child when he behaves childishly. In fact, my four children are a lot more mature than him at times.”

“Do you know what happened a few days before the press conference where you revealed yourself?”

“What?” Natalie knitted her brows inquisitively.

“During that period, there were large groups of men protecting you.” Recalling that the men he sent didn’t even have the opportunity to showcase their skills, Shawn lamented, “I had thought that Samuel didn’t care about the crisis at Dream but was later surprised to find out that his men had eliminated the assassins gunning for you before my men even arrived.”

Natalie’s eyes widened in shock, for she wasn’t aware of the drama behind the scenes of an otherwise uneventful period.

“Samuel sent men to watch my back?”

When he saw how stunned Natalie looked, Shawn was surprised. “You didn’t know? There was more than one batch of assassins who came for you. Fortunately, it was the same for those who protected you. Nonetheless, your unawareness doesn’t come as a surprise since Samuel’s actions have been truly covert.”

Natalie’s heart warmed upon hearing those words.

What a closet beast! Despite all he has done for me, he never mentioned it at all. If not for Shawn telling me about it, I would still have been kept in the dark.

Soon, Samuel arrived at the supermarket and found Natalie chatting with Shawn.

Even though he was aware that there was nothing going on between them, Samuel still couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy. Walking up and placing himself right between the two, he pulled her into his embrace. “Mr. Watsons, since I’m here, there’s no need to trouble yourself with looking after my girl.”

Even though his magnetic voice seemed to contain a hint of benevolence, Samuel’s eyes burned with hostility.

Feeling awkward from the stare Samuel was giving him, Shawn broke into a smile. “For Natalie’s sake, it’s no trouble at all.”
