The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 

Samuel knew it wasn‘t practical for him to let Natalie fall asleep in her current state. However, before he could even clean her up, he knew he had to take a cold shower first. In fact, it took more than three showers for the ice–cold water to finally quench the lust he was experiencing. 

Samuel couldn‘t recall when was the last time he felt so sullen and disappointed. He was literally on the brink of fulfilling his desires when his plan was thrown askew simply because of her period. The very thought of having to rely on cold showers to calm himself down only made Samuel shake his head wistfully. 

He returned to the bedroom and lifted Natalie up into his arms. With that, he headed back to the bathroom and placed her gently in the bathtub full of warm water. 

Immersed in the warm water, she moaned lazily and slumped defenselessly against the side of the bathtub, almost as if she was inviting Samuel to continue making his advances. 

This woman clearly isn‘t in full possession of her faculties... If she continues with such behavior, it means that I‘ve drenched myself with icy cold water for nothing... 

Samuel didn‘t drag his feet. He knew that the more time he stayed in the bathroom, the more torturous the entire process would be for him. He moved with haste and, after cleaning Natalie up, he wrapped her snugly in one of her towels with panda prints. Once that was done, he carried her back to the bedroom. 

It wasn‘t difficult for Samuel to find clothes to dress her in. He merely opened a few drawers to get everything he needed. However, the problem was in finding the sanitary pad she needed. After searching the room to no avail, he knew he had no choice but to head out and buy it. 

He then headed down and bumped into Billy, who was idly smoking a cigarette while leaning against the Rolls–Royce. 

“Sir, are you heading back to the Bowers residence?” asked Billy as he extinguished his cigarette. 

“I’m not heading back.” Samuel glanced briefly at Billy before he added, “I need you to get something for me, Billy.”

“Sir, what do you need?” 

As Samuel stared at Billy, he struggled to say the words and soon gave up on asking Billy to get the sanitary pads. Given that Billy had been with him since the age of seventeen and had yet to have a single girlfriend, Samuel doubted that Billy knew any better regarding such matters. 

“Forget it,” stated Samuel. 

“Sir, what‘s the matter?” asked Billy in a concerned tone, his curiosity piqued.. 

“Why do I have to start explaining myself to you?” asked Samuel as he raised his eyebrow questioningly. “Take the car and head home. Come over at eight in the morning tomorrow to send me to work.” 

He is staying over at Natalie‘s tonight, so the thing he mentioned earlier must be condoms? That explains why he was speaking so hesitantly just now. It all makes sense now! 

Under the impression that he completely grasped the situation, Billy didn‘t dare to speak any further and drove off in the Rolls–Royce. 

Once Billy had gone, Samuel walked to the convenience store nearby. He initially assumed that getting sanitary pads would be a cakewalk. However, he couldn‘t help but frown upon seeing the diverse assortment of options available at the store. 

Thin and sofi? Refreshing and thin? Comfortable and worry–free? What‘s going on here? 

As Samuel stood before the shelves, his eyebrows only furrowed more with each option he picked up. 

“You‘ve been here for quite some time, young man. Are you getting this for your girlfriend?” asked a portly middle–aged woman dressed in the uniform of a store assistant. 

Girlfriend? 

Samuel‘s lips curled into a faint smile as he nodded his head in reply. 

“That‘s very thoughtful of you! Not only are you handsome, but you also dote on your girlfriend a lot. She‘s really lucky!” exclaimed the woman. Actually, the woman wasn‘t so friendly toward all her customers. She was merely drawn by Samuel‘s good 

Even after the woman had entered the elevator, Natalie had not come back to her senses. 

“Did you buy sanitary pads for me?” she asked shockingly. 

“Do you think the sanitary pad on you came to you magically?” Samuel asked back sarcastically. 

“I...” Natalie wanted to refute him. However, she recalled that she was indeed out of sanitary pads the night before. Hence, she stayed silent. 

“Hahaha!” He burst out laughing. 

Natalie could not help but lift her head and stare at him. “What are you laughing at?” 

“It‘s so rare to see you stumped,” he said joyfully. “You are very interesting. I want to see more of it.” 

“Hold yourself back.” 

“I will,” he responded in a soft voice as he smiled dotingly at her. 

Embarrassed, she wanted to leave immediately. However, he grabbed her wrist from behind. 

“What else do you want to say?” she questioned. 

“Stay away from Shawn and other men.” With the corner of his lips raised, Samuel said domineeringly, “Natalie Nichols, you are mine! Even though you‘re not mine now, you will be mine sooner or later.” 

When she heard his words, her heart skipped a beat. 

After finishing his sentence, Samuel got into Billy‘s car and left, leaving her behind. 

She bit her lip as her mind was flooded with thoughts. Why would an aloof boss like him be willing to accompany me, Clayton, and Xavian? Besides, he took care of me when I was drunk. The most unbelievable thing is that he was willing to buy sanitary pads for me. 

Natalie was not a heartless person, so naturally, she knew that he was very kind and caring to her.I don‘t understand why he is treating me so nicely? There are so many people in 

this world. Why me? He can always choose someone else as his plaything. Although he doesn‘t force me to love him, I‘m falling for him. 

Anxious, Natalie clenched her fists tightly. Her grip was so tight she did not notice her nails were digging into her palms. 

With a glint of hatred in her eyes, she kept reminding herself not to fall for him. Natalie, you have not sought revenge yet! Think about yourself, your mother, your grandad. You cannot afford to fall in love now! Stay focused!
