Chapter 1144 The Truth Is Not Always Pretty
The hot pasta and Emma’s homecooked food were simple but the best meal for the end of a tiring day. Natalie
picked up her fork and started digging into her pasta. At the same time, she cried out, “The pasta made by my
hubby is certainly worlds apart from the pasta you can get outside. It’s delicious!”
Her eyes were bright as if all the stars in the sky had fallen into them when she voiced the compliment. Her lips
were curled, and her eyes were crescents from the smile. Samuel was enamored.
“Why are you staring at me?” Natalie asked when she noticed Samuel’s burning gaze. “Is there something on my
face?” “Mhm,” Samuel hummed with a solemn look.
“Where?” As Natalie said that, she rubbed her face. She found nothing, so she furrowed her brows. “What? Why
can’t I find it?” Natalie mumbled. “Samuel, help me take a look at it. Why can’t I find it?”

However, in the next second, the man’s thin lips pressed against her soft ones, stopping her from breathing. “Mm…
Mm…”
Natalie thought that Samuel was going to help wipe her face for her; she never thought he was going to turn into a
beast at the dining table by grabbing and kissing her. Although they were at home, they were not the only ones
there.
The five children could come down at any time, and that was the same for Emma. If any of them caught sight of
her getting kissed in a frenzied manner by Samuel, she would experience another moment of absolute
embarrassment.
Thus, once Samuel loosened his grip on her a little, she shot him a glare. “B*stard, we’re still at home! Aren’t you
scared of the kids seeing us like this?”
“If you’re quieter, it’ll be less likely that they’ll come in and see us like this.”
“You—” Natalie gritted out as she looked at the man with wild eyes. All of a sudden, she felt like the man was
coming up with more nonsense logic after returning from the highland. Furthermore, his desires had become more
intense.
Samuel had held back more or less in the past, but now, it seemed like he had given up on that and decided to do
anything he wanted. The two of them then kissed again for a long while.
Only after satisfying his craving did Samuel finally let Natalie go. As Natalie slowly ate her now room-temperature
pasta, she angrily thought, Was he calculating the time earlier? He didn’t kiss for too long or too short, and now, the
pasta is at room temperature.
Once Natalie was done with her pasta, and just as she was about to stand up and clear away the table before
returning to the room, Samuel abruptly grabbed her wrist, forcing her to halt in her tracks.
“Hm?”

“Why did you burn your hand?”
Natalie stiffened for a second before answering, “You scared me.”
“You’re a pretty alert person,” Samuel uttered, “and I’m not a man-eating monster. You must have been
preoccupied with something else while cooking to have been startled by my voice.”
Natalie was taken aback momentarily, but she soon realized there was nothing for her to be surprised about.
The man adored her, so how could he not know what kind of person she was?
She could easily hide the thoughts in her mind from the five children and Emma, but she could never do the same
with Samuel.
“I really can’t hide anything from you, can I, Samuel?” Natalie sighed. “I think I’m going to be finding out the truth
behind my birth circumstances soon. I look forward to it, but before everything is revealed to me, I can’t stop my
mind from running wild. I’m worried that the truth I’ve been seeking all this time will only bring me endless pain
because I know not all truths are pretty.”
