A Cue for Love novel Chapter 836

Chapter 836 The Betrothal

“That’s good to hear.” From Joseph’s tone, one could tell that he was relieved. “When you disappeared after we got the news that the underground base of Blaze in Dellmoor had been blown up, Mr. Nine thought you had sacrificed yourself.”

“I’m fine… but not really. I’m severely wounded. The estimated time that I would need to recover is more than half a month.”

Even though Benjamin had not conversed with a doctor about his condition, he could feel several fractures in different parts of his body.

With his worries gone, Joseph replied excitedly, “Rest well. You deserve huge credit for blowing up Blaze’s underground base. I will suggest to Mr. Nine to reward you once you return to Loang.”

“Joseph, it wasn’t me who blew up Blaze’s underground base.”

“Eh?” Joseph was taken aback. “If it wasn’t you, who did it?”

“A woman.”

Benjamin remembered very clearly the image of Natalie pressing down on a button before the explosion.

If she had not prepared the explosives beforehand, he would have died under Gale’s firearm that day.

“Someone from Loang?” Joseph asked tentatively.

“No, someone from Chanaea.” After a few seconds of pondering, Benjamin settled on a description of Natalie. “A very unique yet brilliant woman.”

“What’s her name?”

“N—”

Before Benjamin could reveal Natalie’s name, the footsteps of the doctors doing rounds came from the door.

Afraid that his identity would be revealed, Benjamin swiftly hung up with a quick “talk to you later.”

Meanwhile, far away in a majestic palace in Loang, Joseph recounted the phone call to Bastien as the latter was working on a scale model.

Bastien was about to plant a small flag onto the model when Joseph reached the part where a woman was the one responsible for the explosion. His movements obviously slowed as he blinked in surprise. “Benjamin said it was a woman who blew up the underground base of Blaze?”

“That’s correct.” Joseph nodded confidently.

“Unbelievable,” commented Bastien.

“On it, Sam.”

Steven nodded profusely.

After Steven left to catch up to Luna, Samuel continued to peel an orange for Natalie.

The peeled orange was round and juicy. Removing a wedge, Samuel fed it to Natalie.

Natalie chewed absent-mindedly before asking the question that had been haunting her for a while. “Tell me the truth. Between you and Ms. Garcia, is there a betrothal of a sort?”

Samuel plucked off another wedge from the orange. “Yep.”

“There really is a betrothal?” Natalie was shocked by his answer and began to stammer, “T-Then… you… she… Are you not going to take responsibility for her?”

“It’s just a betrothal. I doubt it’s anything serious. It was just a casual proposal made by our grandfathers after they had a couple of drinks.”

“But it’s still a betrothal.” Remembering Luna’s raised guard around herself, Natalie suddenly understood the reason behind her reaction. “That’s not really fair to Ms. Garcia, is it? Perhaps she has been waiting to marry you, only to find out I have been dating you.”
