The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Samuel’s gaze darkened, and she could see the faint outline of his veins under his shirt.

“It looks like he has an important place in your heart.”

“Obviously. I call him Sweetheart,” Natalie sighed.

Xavian and Clayton were the two most important people in her life. She was willing to give up anything for them.

Samuel’s gaze turned cold. “If you have an opportunity to meet someone next time, what kind of man would sweep you off your feet, Ms. Nichols?”

She remained silent.

Natalie sensed that he was unhappy, but she wasn’t sure of the reason.

She was still wearing the hyper-realistic mask that was ugly enough to make people cry. How jealous did Samuel have to be to still feel that way?

Don’t treat me like a dumb three-year old!” Five-year-old Xavian looked as if he understood everything. “Clayton and I have always been very supportive of your relationship, but… I have a small request. Stepdad has to at least be on the same level as Samuel!”

Natalie was caught completely off guard. She choked on her drink and started coughing aggressively.

Natalie was at fault, being the one who suddenly moved backward. She didn’t even see the other party’s face before she started apologizing profusely. “Sorry! I’m sorry! I really didn’t mean to! Are you hurt?”

Although she apologized, the woman didn’t calm down at all. Instead, she lashed out even more.

“You don’t seem blind, despite how hideous you look! What do you mean you didn’t mean it? I bet it was intentional!”

She continued, “What’s the point of apologizing anyway? Do you have any idea how much this pair of shoes cost?  for more visit :- www.noveljar.com They’re more valuable than your life!”

The more the woman spoke, the more familiar the sound of her voice was. Natalie looked up carefully.

I can’t get any unluckier than this.
