The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224 

Just as Samuel thought Natalie would lay her emotions bare in front of him, she pulled away from his embrace. 

“I‘ve made a fool of myself today..” Natalie croaked. 

IC 

Samuel felt utterly defeated as her gaze turned cold and distant. 

Looks likethe pain and hatred in her heart are stronger than her love for me. 

Natalie was being too rational for her own good. In fact, she was even more rational than Samuel. She didn‘t want this relationship to turn into a weakness of hers. 

Okay. I will respect her decision. The more distant she acts, the more I will pamper her. I will pamper her till she only has eyes for me. 

“Nat, everything I‘ve said to you today is my promise toward you.” Samuel stared at her as he spoke in all seriousness. “You can do whatever you want, but you can only belong to me. No one else can lay a finger on you.” 

Natalie looked him in the eye and was surprised to see the determination in them. 

She was able to control her feelings around him this time around. 

But what about next time?Can I really hold back my feelings for him? 

The next day. 

Natalie received a message from Christopher telling her to come down to Collins Corporation personally to collect the snakeblood fruit. 

She arrived at Collins Corporation and registered herself at the reception. 

“Hello, I‘m looking for Christopher.” 

The receptionist, who had on heavy makeup, couldn‘t help but laugh. “Do you have an appointment?” 

“No, but I have a message from him.” Natalie handed her phone over to the receptionist. 

However, the receptionist didn‘t even spare her phone a glance. “Tch, you call this 

evidence? All you did was find someone to send this message to you and name that contact after our CEO. Do you really think I will believe you?” the receptionist said coldly. 

The receptionist gave Natalie a sidelong glance. Hah! I knew it. 

He quickly walked over to Natalie the moment he saw her. “Ms. Natalie, you‘re here.” he said respectfully. 

Nicholas had a complete change of attitude toward Natalie after Christopher‘s recovery. They went from being at each other‘s throats to him treating her with the utmost respect as if she was the medicinal herb goddess. 

The receptionist parted her lips in surprise when she saw how polite Nicholas was toward Natalie. 

This rooman...She‘s not really here to meet the CHO, is shop 

Before the receptionist could even register what was going on, Christopher entered the office building. He made his way toward Natalic the moment he laid eyes on her. 

“Brat, you‘re making such a big fuss about these medicinal herbs, and yet, you don‘t give a d*mn about me. Are these herbs more precious than me?” Christopher smiled from the bottom of his heart when he saw Natalic. 

Uhh… 

The receptionist was stunned. 

Did the devil CEO just smile?Is he directing his smile at the woman I just offended earlier?
