The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 

“Who is jealous?” Natalie pursed her lips defiantly. 

“You.” 

“Whatever.” Natalie replied petulantly, “Your admirers fancy you. What does it have to do with me?” 

Although Natalie wouldn‘t budge, Samuel couldn‘t help but chuckle when he noticed that Natalie was shy and avoiding his gaze. 

At that moment, Samuel felt overjoyed even though Natalie didn‘t admit that she was jealous. 

Even though Samuel wasn‘t sure if Natalie was fond of or merely dependent on him, he knew that she cared about him. 

Hence, he was confident that it was a matter of time for Natalie to love him. 

Natalie didn‘t know what was on Samuel‘s mind. Recalling what she said just now, Natalie felt frustrated for being jealous. 

Even though Natalie and Samuel had something bothering them, they held hands and walked into the banquet hall. 

The moment they entered the hall, the guests were unconvinced that they were the perfect match. 

Instead of dressing up nicely, Samuel only wore his usual white shirt. Nevertheless, he was strikingly handsome, exuding a sense of grace and overbearingness that impressed everyone. 

While Samuel was elegant, Natalie looked rather plain and ordinary. 

“It can‘t be! Who is this lady? She looks so ordinary!” 

“Does she know how she looks? Is she worthy of standing beside Samuel?” 

“Ah? That man must be Samuel Bowers, the legendary head of the Bowers family! He is indeed astonishingly handsome! However, Is there something wrong with his partner? I mean, isn‘t she a bit too ugly even as his secretary?” 

Natalie was rendered speechless as she listened to the mean comments about her look. 

Even if I look like this, I have never spent their money nor harmed them? Who are they to criticize my look? 

VIS 

“Of course.” Natalie flashed him a smile and blinked her crystal clear eyes repeatedly. “Old Mr. Leister has made it clear that he is inviting you alone. Just go. As for me, I won‘t pick on others, yet I‘ll never allow anyone to pick on me either.” 

Knowing that Natalie could take care of herself, Samuel decided not to bring her along to the inner hall. 

However, before leaving the banquet hall, Samuel whispered near Natalie‘s ear to warn her. 

“Drink less when I‘m not around. Otherwise, I‘m going to teach you a lesson after I come back.” 

After that, Samuel and the butler of the Leister family turned around and walked toward the inner hall. 

Hey, I‘m already 24 years old and not an underaged girl!Why must I be restrained from drinking? No way! I‘ll drink as much as I want and see what Samuel can do to me! 

As Natalie wanted to lift a glass of wine, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. 

“Natalie, it‘s you.”
