The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 

Jeromes hands were now gripping Yandels collar tightly

How on earth would I know, Jerome?Dumbfounded, Yandel paused to compose himself before adding, I dont know the details, but I believe she must have her reason for doing so.” 

What reason could there possibly be?Anger flitted past Jeromes dark eyes as he barked, What on earth could be more important than her own life?” 

All Yandel could do was helplessly purse his lips

He, too, was worried about Natalies wellbeing and safety

However, the intensity of his worry was nothing compared to Jeromes

Just as Yandel was scratching his head over how to reassure Jerome, his phone rang

Hello?” 

Yandel, its me.Natalies calm voice traveled from the phones speakers, sending a rush of relief down Yandels spine

Boss, are you all right?he instantly asked

It was only a small injury,Natalie replied smilingly on the other end of the call. I wont die from it.” 

I was worried sickBefore Yandel could finish his words, Jerome, who was right beside him, snatched the phone

Why would a perfectly healthy lady like yourself talk about death all the time? Its bad luck!Jerome shouted

Natalies amused grin grew wider upon hearing Jeromes voice. She teased, You little rascal, how could you yell at me? It seems like youve become ruder now that youre older now, huh?” 

She and Jerome had grown up in the same town

 

The latter was two years younger than her and had followed her around like a loyal pet

Jerome was much scrawnier as a kid, unlike his currently tall and muscular build. Because of that, he often got picked on by the kids in his town. It was Natalie who threw stones and chased those bullies away every time

While Natalie was the daughter of the prestigious Nichols family, Jerome had a powerful identity too

He was the grandson of Finley Blackburn, a significant figure within the military and political world. Not only that, but he was also the sole descendant of the Blackburn family. Thus, one could say he was someone important

Who do you think you‘re calling a little rascal?Jerome muttered

Well, if you dont want to be my little rascal, then I‘m going to hang up.” 

You-” 

Come now, please dont be angry. Im calling to let both of you know that Im safe and sound. Yes, I got hurt, but its nothing serious. I’ll catch up with you once I recover, okay?Natalie explained

Jerome could not argue with her. Thus, he let out a grumpy huff as a form of reply

Attaboy.With that, Natalie ended the call while still grinning smugly

She thought back to the little boy who constantly followed behind her and addressed her politely. Now, he had grown into a fine man and had become the youngest. lieutenant in the army. 

She could not help but feel proud of his transformation

Just then, Samuel opened the wards door and entered. As soon as he noticed Natalie holding her phone, a tense smile curled on his face. 

Who were you on the phone with?Samuel asked, feigning ignorance. Was it a guy or a girl?” 

A guy.” 

Samuel swiftly approached and pushed Natalie down onto the hospital bed. A guy?” 

Just then, a plan hatched in Natalies mind as she wanted to retaliate against Samuel

Yep,she stated candidly. Her eyes locked on him to prove she was serious. On top of that, he and I are childhood sweethearts.” 

Childhood sweethearts?Samuel thought to himself
