The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214 

Stella ran and panted heavily, but the moment she saw Samuel, she could not stop herself from giving him a hug. 

“Why is it so difficult to meet you at the right time and place?!” Stella buried her tiny face in his chest and vented her frustration. “Why didn’t you tell me you came to visit Granny? I almost missed you again.” 

“How difficult can that be?” Samuel did not push her away. Instead, he gave her shoulder a gentle pat. “Well, I‘m standing in front of you right now.” 

“I miss you.” 

“You can take a good look at me now.” 

Natalie stood still while holding a bowl of soy milk in her hand. Her heart sank when she saw the two in each other‘s embrace. 

I guess Samuel treats the other women like how he had treated me too. I’m not that special someone in his life, after all. 

Seconds later, Natalie pulled herself together. What‘s wrong with me? Samuel‘s love life is none of my business anyway. Who am I to judge? 

Yet, she could not stop her heart from twitching. 

Dimn it. 

She even began to experience shortness of breath. 

When Samuel turned around and looked at her, Natalie raised the bowl to cover her eyes. 

She did not want the man to see how panicked she was. 

Upon noticing how Natalie was trying to hide her jealousy, a corner of Samuel‘s lips quirked up. 

After releasing Samuel from her hug, Stella noticed an unfamiliar face from a distance. 

“Who is she?” She pointed at Natalie. “Is she your new assistant? Did you fire Billy 

because he screwed things up?” 

“What are you talking about?” Ida pulled a straight face. “She‘s Mr. Bowers‘ friend.” 

Stella instantly turned her attention to Natalie and started studying her from head to toe. She then took a glance at Samuel and said, “Got it. She‘s your friend now, but one day, she‘ll become my sister–in–law. Am I right?” 

Sister–in–law? 

Natalie froze for a moment. 

She‘s Samuel‘s cousin? What was I thinking earlier? 

After breakfast, Samuel left the house with Natalie. 

An awkward silence filled the air when the two were traveling in Hummer, as they did not speak to each other. 

After sending Natalie home, Samuel returned to the office to handle some matters. 

Since the three children were away in preschool, Natalie was all alone in the house. 

After leaving the press conference last night, Natalie had not had the time to go through the messages on her phone. 

After making herself a cup of coffee, she sat in front of her desk and started working. 

She logged into her Twitter account and noticed two trending hashtags on the sidebar. 

The first was: Wendy takes you back in time 

The second hashtag was: Yara responds to the rumor on pre–recorded music
