The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48

The next day, Natalie was woken up by the sound of knocking on the door.

“Who’s there?” she called out.

“Natalie, it’s me and Sophia.” The owner of the voice was Franklin. “You’re awake? Can we come in?” he asked.

“Sure!”

Just as Franklin was twisting the doorknob, Natalie suddenly remembered the hyper-realistic mask that she had left in the bathroom. Hurriedly, she went to collect it and put it on.

She was greeted by the twins just as soon as she exited the bathroom.

Franklin lifted his head and greeted Natalie energetically. “Good morning, Natalie.”

Sophia, on the other hand, showed her a piece of paper. The words good morning was written on the paper using crayons. There were even pink petals drawn on the sides.

The twins were really something.

Franklin was domineering yet endearing. He was the embodiment of a young master.

Sophia, on the other hand, was adorable and smart. Her cuteness made everyone’s hearts melt.

Although Natalie had rejected their suggestion for her to move in, she could not deny her desire to get closer to them.

“Good morning, Franklin and Sophia.”

She bent down and stroked each of their heads. However, she soon realized that the action was too natural.

It was as if her lost pair of twins were right before her.

The pain she felt in her heart was excruciating.

She realized that this was why she wanted to give Franklin and Sophia the best love and care she could. She wanted to make up for her past regrets.

As Natalie brought the two to the dining room for breakfast, she bumped into Samuel.

She sat down and smiled at Samuel. “Good morning, Mr. Bowers.”

Memories from the night before flashed through her mind.

She did not care whether Samuel was doing it for his children or whether he was trying to flirt

 

with her out of boredom.

She had made herself clear.

She was convinced that Samuel could forego her ugliness, but she would not believe that he could also endure the fact that she had given birth.

Samuel took a sip of his coffee as his gaze met Natalie’s. “Good morning,” he greeted indifferently.

After seeing his attitude toward her, Natalie felt relieved.

She came back after five years to get back at the Nichols family. Getting into any unwanted business was not part of her plan.
