Chapter 755 Threat
The look in Samuel’s eyes grew deeper. “With the four of them around, I won’t be able to get close to you.”
“You’re their father. Can’t you be more tolerant and spend some time with them?” Natalie asked tentatively.
Despite her patient persuasion, he rejected the proposal coldly. “No. It’ll only be their turn when I feel like I’ve spent enough time with you.”
“When will it ever be enough for you?” She pouted. This man never knows what the word ‘enough’ means, no matter the place and circumstances!
“Mhm,” he muttered in a low voice. “I guess it won’t.”
She was speechless.
“Thank you for saving my grandfather,” he thanked her in a deep voice. “If not for you, I wouldn’t have been so cautious around Yara. It was just like Grandpa said. I knew Yara had dark intentions. But it was five long years! I thought she would be grateful for how he took care of her and wouldn’t do anything terrible to him. It seems like I was wrong.”
“There’s no need for you to thank me.” She smiled plainly. “Yara knows how to put up a very convincing act. If not, I wouldn’t have fallen into her trap five years ago. I could’ve avoided narrowly losing my life and being separated from two of my children.”
She suddenly thought of something and asked, “Do you blame me for not telling you anything?”
“If you don’t want to tell me, there must be a reason for it.” Samuel turned her face toward him and stared into her eyes. “If you don’t feel like saying anything, I won’t ask. You have my trust. Today’s events proved my point once again.”
“You’re getting better at sweet-talking.” At that moment, Natalie felt her heart was warmed. He really understands me. Instead of trapping me inside a birdcage, he respects my choice. Even when everyone is accusing me and mocking me, he still protected me domineeringly from all the pressure and chaos.
Both of them sat inside the glass building and stared at the stars as they hugged each other.
As she listened to the sound of wind blowing past them and observed the stars, she gradually nodded off. Suddenly, she felt a cold and soft sensation on her lips.
Because she was halfway through dreamland, she thought she was eating jello. So, she gently suckled on it. At that moment, Samuel was bewitched by her sweetness and kissed her deeper. His cold lips slowly became warmer and hotter.
