The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 

Father and son? How ridiculous! I must be imagining things! 

Natalie bit her lip and shook her head, trying to get rid of the absurd idea that popped up in her mind. 

However, at the same time, a sense of indescribable sorrow and disappointment rushed through her heart. 

As she watched Samuel and Xavian interacting, she realized that no matter how much maternal love she tried to give to her two children, she could never make up for the absence of their father‘s company in their growth process. 

The reason that both her children were trying intently to find themselves a stepfather was not only that they hoped their mother could fall in love again, but also that they longed for love and companionship from a fatherly figure. 

With Samuel hanging around tonight, Xavian was more energetic than he usually was. He was talking to Samuel all the time, smiling from ear to ear. 

When it was nine o‘clock, Natalie turned toward Xavian. “It‘s late now. Time for you to sleep.” 

“Yes, yes, Mommy. I know.” The little boy nodded obediently but winked at Samuel at the same time. “I have to go to bed now. You should come to visit more often.” 

“Okay.” Samuel agreed. 

However, to her surprise, Samuel grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. 

Natalie did not see that coming. She was already sitting on Samuel‘s lap when she recovered from the shock. 

“What are you” 

“You are still so young, yet so protective of yourself.” Samuel locked Natalie tightly in his arms as he sighed beside her ear. “What happened to you in the past?” 

His voice sounded gentle and pampering, but most of all, it was filled with love. He was aching for her.
