A Cue for Love (Natalie and Samuel)

Chapter 1224

Chapter 1224

Based on what I know about Mikhail's personality, I think he would've done something unbecoming of a king for his

lover's child. If that had happened, it would've been a curse instead of a blessing. As Natalie took another sip of her

coffee, she thought it was getting bitter. God is indeed fair in His decisions. A person is destined to lose something

when enjoying an incredible privilege.

She then brewed another pot of coffee because the last one was too bitter for her taste.

After she refilled her and Mikhail's cups, they became silent again.

Even though one couldn't change the past, it was precisely the accumulation of past events that resulted in the

current situation.

Mikhail wondered if he could've avoided the tragedy if he had been given another chance to redo his decision.

Meanwhile, his coffee was getting cold.

Hence, Natalie reminded, "If you want to drink your coffee, you should do it before it turns cold."

Of course, he didn't care about the coffee. An urge swirled in his heart as he stared at her. In the end, he blurted

out that thought. "Can you give me a chance to make things up to you, Natalie? I want to tell everyone in this

country that you're my daughter, the rightful princess of Loang and heir apparent to the throne. Once I've

abdicated as the king, you'll be Loang's queen and rule over the entire country. What do you think?"

She was so shocked by his proposal that she momentarily failed to hold the cup in her hand properly, causing the

coffee inside to spill onto the table. "I think it's a bad idea."

"Why? Do you think being a queen is bad?"

"I don't have any grand reasons for refusing." Upon wiping away the coffee spilled on her hand, she lifted her eyes

and stared at Mikhail. "My choice is the same as my mother's. My appearance as your daughter won’t be a good

thing for this country. Besides, I've no interest in Loang's politics."

Her answer stunned him for a moment before he attempted to persuade her. "This is a chance my sons can't even

get, Natalie! Are you... Are you not even going to consider it?"

"No," she rejected firmly. "If you're unhappy in your position, why are you trying to make me take over it? Do you

still not understand why Mother opted to play dead instead of returning to your side, even though she loved you

deeply?"

Mikhail's pupils constricted as he stared at Natalie.

"One will always lose and gain something in life. You believe that as long as you can clear up the misunderstanding

you assumed was why Mother left you, everything will be fine and dandy, but that isn't the case. The real reason is

that you'll lose your lover regardless because you're the king. It just so happens that the person you love the most

is my mother. It didn't matter if that person was Jennie Shamrock or not because you could never have her. She left

you that way because she wanted to protect me, her father, and the person she loved the most. If she did return,

would you have succeeded in clearing Granddad's name? Could you guarantee no one would try to cause Mother to

miscarry? She knew she would have to give up on you someday after falling in love with you. While she didn't regret

loving you, she didn't regret living in seclusion, either." After she ended her sentence, he became quiet again.

Suddenly, he smiled and shook his head, feeling like his heart was stabbed by a knife.

"Why am I now only understanding this?" Mikhail sighed. "I was overconfident when I was younger, always thinking I

could do everything well. I didn't expect I wouldn't be able to solve all problems after becoming king. It's as you

said. Even if I cleared up one misunderstanding, there would always be another."

Natalie pondered wordlessly, / wonder what he will choose if he gains another chance, but that doesn't matter now.

Obsessing over his answer won't bring Mother back. What's important right now are the present and the future!
