Chapter 71 Distance
Wow. This man is amazingly attractive.
He was wearing a simple black shirt, but with his wide shoulder and narrow waist, he looked elegant and
breathtaking.
Moreover, he had a tall figure and exquisite facial features. His attractiveness was out of this world.
“Good morning,” said Samuel with a faint, happy glow in his eyes.
“Good morning.” Natalie nodded lightly. However, her heart churned slightly at the thought of Samuel
coming along.
“I thought you’re busy?” she asked, lifting her eyebrows.
“I am busy. However, I still have time to spare for Franklin and Sophia.” Samuel was in a good mood.
Sophia and Franklin looked at each other, surprised.
Daddy’s definitely lying. He obviously doesn’t have time! He stayed up all night and finished his work in
order to attend the parents’ visit today.
The two kids remembered seeing Billy coming to take a thick pile of documents from their father’s study
when they got up in the morning.
“Daddy didn’t have to attend today. Last night, he didn’t…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFranklin was just about to reveal that Samuel had pulled an all-nighter but he stopped abruptly when he
saw his father’s stern eyes.
“Hmm? What happened last night?” Natalie asked.
Franklin dared not say anything and shook his head. “Nothing. Let’s get going, or we’re going to be late
for school.”
Despite her curiosity, Natalie stopped asking as she did not want them to be late for today’s event.
After a thirty-minute drive, the car stopped in front of the kindergarten.
Franklin and Sophia, as members of the Bowers family, went to an elite kindergarten.
Countless luxurious cars were parked at the entrance of the kindergarten due to the special occasion.
“We’re here.” Franklin and Sophia hopped off the car with their school bags and stepped into the gate.
Natalie and Samuel, on the other hand, walked in with the other parents.
Once they arrived at the registration desk, several female teachers who were wearing makeup smiled at
them. “Mr. Bowers, it’s good to see you.”
“Hello. I am the dean of Starlight Kindergarten.”
“I am Starlight Kindergarten’s Leader of Academic Affairs.”
Not to mention Samuel’s good looks, his status alone as the young master of the Bowers family was
already enough to make the teachers try to get on his good side.
These teachers pampered Franklin and Sophia, and now that their father was here, they had to give their
best effort to butter him up.
Natalie, who was standing next to Samuel, realized that she had underestimated his charm.
The female teachers swarmed toward Samuel like bees surrounding honey.
Natalie, however, was too inconspicuous compared to Samuel. Moreover, she was getting in the way.
The teachers ignored her and pushed her around as they focused their attention on Samuel.
In the middle of the commotion, somebody ran into Natalie, causing her to stagger.
As a result, she twisted her right ankle. Enduring the pain, she flailed her arms around to find something
she could hold onto as her legs gave way, but to no avail.
Just as she thought she was going to fall, someone supported her slender waist in the nick of time and
pulled her back up.
The next thing she knew, her lips touched Samuel’s due to the force of inertia.
“Mmph!” Surprised, Natalie opened her mouth, and her teeth grazed Samuel’s lips, instantly drawing
blood.
Everything was so unreal, but the blood on Samuel’s lips was too obvious to ignore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Are you all right?” Worried, Natalie lifted her hand to examine Samuel’s wound, but as soon as her
fingertips touched his lips, she pulled her hand back as if she was just electrocuted.
I’m the one who caused him to bleed, but it would be too weird if I touched his lips just like that.
Samuel squinted his eyes in disappointment when Natalie withdrew her hand.
This woman obviously cares about me, but at the same time, she is distancing herself away from me.
Samuel wiped the blood with his fingers and said, “Would you take full responsibility if I’m not okay?”
“Take full responsibility for what?”
Upon seeing Natalie’s wary face, Samuel lowered his voice and whispered, “Forget it. From now on, just
stay by my side.”
Natalie nodded.
Then, Samuel took her hand and marched forward.
“What are you…”
“It’s safer this way. You’re mine, so I will look after you wherever I go.” Samuel’s eyes shone brightly as
he stared at Natalie.
Natalie was stunned. Since when did I become his?
Subconsciously, she tried to pull her hand away from his grasp.
However, he tightened his grip on her hand, like he was afraid she would run away from him.
