The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 

Who is this old man? 

Natalie frowned as she glanced at the elderly with a confused look. 

Before Kenneth came to look for her, he had thought that a woman who was capable of bewitching Samuel into staying at the hospital all the time must be an absolute beauty. 

However, when he saw Natalie‘s freckled face, his body stiffened. 

“Are... Are you Natalie Nichols?” he muttered, wondering if he had made a mistake. 

“Yes, it‘s me.” Natalie asked him in return, “How about you? Who are you?” 

Kenneth was rendered speechless. 

He finally understood why Steven previously said that Natalie was ugly. 

i 

He even thought Steven was spouting nonsense and could not distinguish between beautiful and ugly. 

Now that he had seen her with his own eyes, he realized that he had wronged Steven. 

Kenneth was still puzzled by how Natalie was able to manipulate Samuel, but he put on an authoritative and composed front as he replied, “I am Samuel‘s grandfather, Kenneth Bowers.” 

“O–Old Mr. Bowers? What can I do for you?” 

“Ms. Nichols, I‘m here to thank you for saving my great–granddaughter.” Kenneth pulled out a black card from his pocket and threw it on the bed. “There‘s twenty million in this card. Consider it as an expression of gratitude from the Bowers family and me.” 

Wealthy people usually wouldn‘t hand out their money willingly without any conditions. 

Just as Natalie expected, Kenneth began to speak again. 

In a condescending tone, he said, “I believe this is enough as a gift of appreciation on 

behalf of Samuel. I hope you are sensible enough to know that you‘re not special just because you saved Sophia.” 

Kenneth thought that Natalie would be over the moon after receiving the money. 

To his surprise, she snorted disdainfully in response. 

“Old man, I don‘t want your money.” 

“How dare you call me old man? Do you know who I am?” Kenneth frowned, his wrinkles becoming more visible. “Is twenty million not enough? Are you trying to negotiate with me? Or are you so ambitious that you are planning to become Samuel‘s wife?” 

Natalie burst out laughing upon hearing his words. 

“I am not interested in becoming Samuel‘s wife,” Natalie replied. “It is him who keeps clinging onto me and giving me a headache. As his grandfather, if you could persuade him to leave me alone, I would be genuinely grateful to you.” 

“S–Samuel would never do that!” 

“You should check with him, not me.” Natalie then let out a long sigh and added, “Also, I saved Sophia because I genuinely wanted to do it. I did not do it for the Bowers family‘s gratitude. No matter how dangerous the situation is, as long as she needs me, I would save her without hesitation.” 

Perhaps it was because she had lost a daughter before, or because she felt a connection with Sophia. As long as she could protect Sophia, she was willing to sacrifice her life for the girl. 

With his many years of experience, Kenneth could see the sincerity in Natalie‘s eyes.. 

Her love for Sophia touched him, but he still could not approve of her as his granddaughter–in–law. 

Knock! Knock! Knock! 

Just then, someone began knocking on the door anxiously. 

After a few knocks, three men entered the room. 

The visitors were Yandel, Ross, and Jerome, who was in military fatigue. 

The ward that was originally spacious became crowded with the sudden appearance of three tall men. 

Yandel was about to call Natalie “Boss” when he had eye contact with Kenneth, who exuded an imposing aura. 

“Sir,” Yandel quickly corrected himself. 

Kenneth knitted his eyebrows even tighter as he observed the three men. 

It‘s only been a while since I managed to make Samuel leave. Now, there are three handsome men visiting her at the same time?
