The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 750

Chapter 750 A Plague

He’s right! He does sound kind of harsh, but it’s the truth. The rest of the crowd agreed with Miguel.

Meanwhile, Samuel continued to hold the woman’s hand in his, not too tightly but with a slight squeeze.

He had always trusted her since the day Kenneth ‘died.’ Even if everyone else now thought she was spouting lies, the man still believed in her.

Natalie cleared her throat. “You’re right. He’s putting his reputation at stake by choosing to defend me, but that’s exactly why I won’t let him down. If you want to see Old Mr. Bowers in person, that’s absolutely possible. But it’s a bit of a long journey, so you’ll have to wait thirty minutes for him to get here. Until then, please be patient. The truth will reveal itself in half an hour.”

Hearing that, Miguel stroked his beard again and nodded. “Fine. If it’s half an hour, so be it! We’ll all be here waiting, but I hope you can promise me one thing, Mr. Samuel.”

“He’s talking to you.” Natalie signaled Samuel.

“What is it, Mr. Miguel? Do tell.”

“If Mr. Kenneth is indeed alive, we elders shall apologize sincerely to Ms. Nichols. However…” Miguel paused briefly before he continued, “If this turns out to be a complete, elaborate hoax, I hope you can differentiate between what’s right and wrong. Promise me that you’ll never let this woman become the lady of the household.”

The elderly man sounded particularly earnest as he spoke with a pained expression, but Natalie only felt like punching him.

I just want to let them know that he’s still alive. I don’t care if they think I’m a lunatic, but now, they’re even using me as a gamble? If that isn’t enough, they’re also trying to get Samuel to treat me like a mistress just because they’re afraid of p*ssing him off!

She glanced at Samuel at that thought.

Yet, the man’s gaze turned dark, and he replied unhesitatingly, “I promise you.”
