NovelEnglishChapter 861 Abandoned Once Again
“You’ve got the wrong person. He’s not Sam. He truly is Xander from the York family.” Steven explained
to her patiently. “Moreover, how could Sam be here at this hour? He’s probably whispering sweet
nothings to Luna right now…”
Steven trailed off toward the end as he too had been hurt.
Natalie smiled bitterly upon his words.
Could it be… I’ve got it all wrong in my drunken state? Am I so drunk that I’m taking every man who
treats me right as Samuel? Steven’s right. How could Samuel be here at this hour?
“I’m sorry… I’ve had too much to drink. I’ve got the wrong person.” Natalie’s eyes dimmed with sorrow.
“Thank you so much for tonight, Mr. York.”
Xander gave no response as he turned around and left.
Natalie stared at the man’s silhouette as she could no longer differentiate between illusion and reality.

that I didn’t look out for you tonight. I’ll send my men to take care of that b*stard and send you home
first.”
“Home?”
Natalie asked, confused.
“Is that still my home?”
Steven was rendered speechless. After a while, he replied, “At least Franklin, Sophia, Xavian, and
Clayton are all there.”
“Yeah. My children are still there.” Natalie nodded.
Steven asked his assistant to send Natalie back to the Bowers residence since he drank.
Gavin was still awake when Natalie returned.
“Ms. Nichols, why did you drink so much?” Gavin expressed his concern when he saw Natalie. “Take a
seat. I’ll go make you some hangover remedy.”
Natalie felt uncomfortable as she was experiencing heartache and hangover at the same time.
Shortly after, Gavin returned with a bowl of hot hangover remedy.
Natalie thanked him and downed the bowl of hangover remedy.
“Ms. Nichols, where is Mr. Samuel?” Gavin couldn’t help but ask when he saw that Natalie was alone.
“I don’t know,” Natalie replied dully. “He might not come back when I’m around.”
“Did you guys… fight?” Gavin caught on as he too, had had his fair share of heartbreak.
“No.” Natalie forced a smile. “Gavin, it’s getting late. You should get some rest. I still need your help to
prepare breakfast for the kids tomorrow.”
Gavin knew Natalie didn’t want to talk about it. Hence, he didn’t push her for details.
“Goodnight, Ms. Nichols.”
“Good night.”
It was two in the morning.
Everyone else in the household were fast asleep at this hour except for Natalie.

She thought Samuel was going to prepare a grand wedding proposal for her.
That was why she accepted Justin’s suggestion to dress to the nines tonight. She wanted to treat
Samuel wholeheartedly since he was doing the same, or so she thought.
However, she had never been so wrong.
She didn’t believe Samuel would turn his back on her, but his resoluteness still hurt.
Even though Samuel did not turn his back on her, he had abandoned her.
He would tell her the whole story if he wanted to. If not, then everything she did would be pointless.
Natalie had been abandoned too many times during her lifetime. Just as she thought she had finally
found someone who would never leave her, he left.
She would leave Samuel if that was what he wanted.
Natalie hugged her knees tight as the tears flowed down her cheeks.
She didn’t dare make a sound as she cried.
Natalie bit her wrist as she held back her whimpers.
She wanted to cry to her heart’s content tonight. After all, Samuel wasn’t the only one in her life. She
still had people who cared for her. She promised herself to stay strong once day breaks.
