Chapter 391
It was not until she felt someone next to her on the mattress that Natalie realized someone had entered
her bedroom.
As she rolled over, her nose rubbed against the nose of the man next to her.
Samuel looked at her with eyes that seemed to speak volumes.
His lips were parted and rather impatient while his hot breath brushed against her face.
Natalie’s heartbeat increased uncontrollably as she blushed deeply.
Samuel observed her delicate face, knowing that she was feeling uneasy but he could not help teasing
her.
With measured deliberation, he brushed the tip of his nose against her, and muttered in a low voice,
“What are you thinking so seriously about?”
Natalie pushed at him, trying to move his body away but she soon realized that he had not budged at
all.
“Yes?”

Natalie was telling the truth, but not the whole truth.
Even though she and Samuel had opened up to each other, it did not mean that she had to reveal
everything without reservation.
Everyone had secrets.
Just as Samuel had never mentioned the feud amongst the Bowers family members or Franklin and
Sophia’s biological mother.
Natalie’s background and the agony she had suffered were her deepest darkest secrets.
She was not ready to reveal these to anyone.

“Is it tricky?” He held her wrist which looked delicate like fine porcelain.
Natalie shook her head and then nodded. “Not really that tricky but it is somewhat a challenge to me.”
“Do you need my help to resolve it?”
“Samuel, I don’t need you to take action yet,” Natalie said softly. “You are my most powerful weapon
now. To make use of your help for some small obstacles like these is an overkill.”

Samuel sighed softly. He understood that the real reason was nothing to do with overkilling but rather
because she was unwilling to reveal her deepest scars to him.
Out of his respect and love for her, he changed the subject.
“How are you feeling now?” he asked with sincerity in his voice.
OWT.
Natalie replied innocently, “The snake venom is totally clear. I’ve recovered completely.”.

“Tomorrow, I shall be leaving for a business trip in Livingsfill. There is a meeting about mining
development which will last for at least half a month.” He changed the subject. “That is to say that I
won’t be embracing you like this for at least two weeks.”.

Natalie nodded in silence.
“Don’t you have something to say about that?” Samuel raised his eyebrows.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What should I say?” Natalie seemed to have thought of something as she spoke tentatively. “Should I
wish you a safe trip and a successful meeting?
Samuel did not get to hear the words he yearned for.
He rolled himself on top of her and kissed her lips passionately.
His kisses were gentle yet lingering, domineering and lustful.
“Nat, is it time to open my birthday present?” he asked in a low whisper.
Natalie was stunned for a moment, and then she said to him, “That… didn’t I gift you a thumb ring?”
“You know I’m not talking about that birthday present.” He clenched his teeth. “You are so smart I’m
sure you know what I’m talking about. Please don’t pretend that you don’t know what I mean.”
Pretend? Who’s pretending now!
Natalie wanted to retort but her luscious pink lips were locked tight in his.
Her sleeping gown was deftly slid down from her shoulders.
There was just one difference this time…
He gave her no chance to stop him.
Tonight, he wanted to take her completely.
This was not Natalie’s first time but with Samuel, she had held back, leaving him unsatisfied.
