Chapter 730 Taking The Lead
Samuel lowered his head and ate quietly as they sat around the dining table. Meanwhile, the four children kept
coming up with different topics to chat about with Natalie.
Although he did not say a word, his eyes were fixed on her face.
Several strands of her soft bangs fell forward and brushed lightly against her cheek as she listened earnestly to the
children’s banter. Whenever they said something funny, she would laugh along with them, and her almond-shaped
eyes would curve into two crescents.
He felt a genuine sense of peace and contentment as he gazed at the scene before him.
When Natalie turned toward Samuel and realized he had been looking at her the whole time, she felt somewhat
self-conscious. “I… Why do you keep staring at me? You should eat.”
“Okay,” he murmured, not revealing that he thought she was a feast for the eyes.
The four children clamored around Natalie after dinner, asking her to check their homework. In truth, it was so that

Samuel was indeed a little disgruntled. After all, he only just got to see Natalie as well, so he selfishly wanted to
have her to himself for a while. However, he could only watch helplessly after she shot him a glance, telling him not
to fight with the children for her attention. Hence, he stepped outside to let the cool evening breeze calm his
restlessness before returning to his study to continue working.
It was ten o’clock at night by the time the children finally washed up and went to bed at Natalie’s urging.
Massaging her sore shoulders, Natalie was ready to go to her bedroom and turn in for the night. But as soon as she
opened the door, she felt a warm touch on her wrist before she was led into the room.
“Samuel, you…” Natalie began.
In the blink of an eye, an arm circled her slender waist and pulled her behind the door.
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m hungry.” Samuel’s eyes were as dark as a bottomless abyss.
“Really?” Natalie swallowed hard. Feigning ignorance, she continued, “You barely ate during dinner, so it’s no
wonder you’re hungry. Why don’t I ask Gavin to prepare some supper for you?”
She knew full well what he was hungry for at that moment, but the memory of their kiss in the storage room
frightened her a little.
This man… He’s like a vicious wolf that was locked up in a cage for days without food and water and is finally
released. And here I am, like a rabbit wandering into the wolf’s den. If he were to satiate his hunger in that starving
state, there’d be nothing left of me!
However, her attempt at distracting him and escaping from his clutches proved unsuccessful.
Instead of kissing her on the lips, she felt him press his lips against her neck. Heat rose within her as he enveloped
her in his strong, masculine aura.
It tickles…
“Don’t…” she moaned.

“When did I try to brush you off?” she protested in an attempt to explain herself.
He arched an eyebrow. “Weren’t you? If you want to prove that you weren’t trying to brush me off, go on and take
the lead. Put your arm around my waist and kiss me.”
Upon hearing his words, her face flushed scarlet, and her eyelashes trembled. She stood rooted to the spot, not
daring to move even an inch. That request of his… Isn’t it a little too embarrassing? I have to put my arm around
his waist… and initiate a kiss?
Seeing that she made no movement, he nibbled her earlobe and said devilishly, “Who said she wanted to make it
up to me? If you’re shy, I… can take the lead…”
His words rendered her speechless.
What on earth is he saying? He really does have a talent for killing a conversation.
She glared at him fiercely, but his eyes were ablaze with his desire for her. Since she refused to take the lead, he
would do it.
Lifting Natalie in his arms, Samuel pressed her up against the door, parted her legs, and wrapped them around his
waist. Then, he leaned in toward her luscious lips and kissed her passionately.
