Chapter 850 What Is Wrong With You Two
Steven stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Natalie.
Natalie knew she had hit the nail on the head when she saw his obvious reaction.
“Did you and Samuel get into a fight?”
“No…” Steven replied with a dejected look on his face. If anything, he actually preferred getting into a fight with Samuel than walking in on his dirty deed.
Of course, Natalie was no fool and could tell his response wasn’t genuine. “Did Samuel bully you, then?”
Upon glancing at her and meeting her concerned gaze, Steven felt tempted to just tell her the truth about everything. However, he feared that doing so would hurt her deeply as a result. Having that dilemma felt like having a fish bone stuck in his throat, and it was making Steven extremely uncomfortable.
Natalie narrowed her eyes when she saw no response from him. “Hmm?”
Unable to withstand her penetrating gaze, Steven shrugged and tried to brush it off casually by saying, “No, it’s nothing like that! I just woke up rather early today, so I’m still half asleep right now.”
Although Natalie didn’t believe him, she nodded like she did anyway.
It’s way too obvious that he’s lying, but… Well, I guess there’s no point in probing any further if he doesn’t want to tell me about it.
“In that case, do make sure to get enough rest!” Natalie then made a telephone gesture at him as she continued, “If there’s anything you don’t feel comfortable talking to Samuel about, do feel free to give me a call! You’re his brother, so I’ll treat you like my brother as well!”
“All right, I will,” Steven mumbled in response.
Eventually, Natalie heard his footsteps and looked up at him. “Ah, you’re back!”
Samuel nodded with a cold look on his face as he began unbuttoning his shirt.
Natalie lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and walked up to him as she asked, “Tell me, what happened between you and Steven?”
“Why do you ask?” Samuel felt his chest tighten as he glared at her. Has Steven told her about what happened today morning? Well, I did intend for Natalie to find out sooner or later, but this is a little too soon! I’m not ready for it just yet!
Despite feeling incredibly nervous, Samuel tried to ask as casually as possible, “Did you find out about anything?”
“I wouldn’t be asking you if I did!” Natalie then stood on her tiptoes and looked him in the eye as she continued, “You brothers sure are a strange pair! So far, both of you are acting all awkward about this. Are you two refusing to speak to each other or what?”
