The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 930

“Really?” Natalie smiled politely. “Surprises are never endless. There might be none in the future.”

Her reply was courteous yet tactful.

Amos was stunned. He never expected Natalie to give that kind of answer.

The Stone family was one of the five plutocratic families in Loang. He never had a lack of women after he reached

adulthood, and there weren't any women who tried to keep their distance from him.

Natalie was the first and only one to treat him as such.

Amos swirled his wine glass as something indescribable flashed across his eyes. “I've already signed the contract

between Dream and Stone Corporation, but there are a few parts that need to be clarified by you, Ms. Nichols.”

After the signing of contracts, there shouldn't be any questions after. Clearly, it was merely an excuse to have a

private moment with Natalie.

Yandel and Natalie were well-versed in the business world, so they knew what he was implying.

Natalie cast a look at Yandel, and Yandel took his leave.

When they were left alone, Natalie turned to Amos with a smile. “What questions do you have for me?”

“Once the contract takes effect, Dream and Stone Corporation will be partners.” Amos' gaze bored straight into

Natalie's eyes. “Give me a moment, and I'll look for a chance to introduce you to my father.”

“Really?” Natalie smiled politely. “Surprises are never endless. There might be none in the future.”

“Thank you.” Natalie was grateful for his referral. Even though Amos was at the top rung among his peers, Carlos

still held the power of the Stone family in his hands. Dream Jewelry still had a lot of space to expand into, so there

was no way they could avoid dealing with Carlos.

Amos took out a black velvet box from his pocket.

“This is for you.”

Natalie reached for the box and saw a vintage men's watch lying in it.

However, that watch was a discontinued product. Putting aside the brilliant craftsmanship of the dial, just the

rareness of the watch was more than enough to determine its value.

“Why are you giving it to me?” Natalie looked up at Amos with confusion.

“I know you've prepared a gift for my father.” The flames in Amos' eyes burned brighter. “But I hope you can

present him with this watch as your gift when you meet him later.”

“You're asking me to give your dad the present you spent so much effort on?” Natalie gently closed the box and

handed it back to Amos. “Mr. Stone, I can't accept your feelings.”

Natalie would've been either really dumb or acting dumb if she still didn't know Amos' intention by that time.

“If you don't try accepting it, how will you know you can't accept it?” Amos asked.

“You hove o fioncée, Mr. Stone. And I hove o fioncé.” Notolie continued, “If my fioncé finds out I occepted

something so significont from onother mon, he will be jeolous.”

A glint of surprise floshed ocross Amos' eyes. “You hove o fioncé? Is he the person who ottended with you todoy?”

“Of course not!” Notolie denied. Is he joking? Even if I were to find someone to oct os my fioncé, I wouldn't osk

someone who would be ottending the bonquet. Then, we wouldn't hove to oct ond risk being exposed.

Amos wosn't plonning on giving up, though. “We're not morried yet, so never soy never.”

“Not necessorily.” Notolie smirked. “If you truly wont to morry, you don't hove to woit. If we're not foted, then time

isn't the issue ot oll.”

The otmosphere between them wos getting tenser by the minute.

Finolly, Notolie nodded ot Amos. “My portner hos returned with the wine. Pleose excuse me.”

Under Yondel's scrutiny, Notolie wolked over to Yondel's side ond reoched for the gloss in his hond.

With on in-depth understonding of Notolie, he knew Amos must hove gotten rebuffed by her.

Compored to Notolie's noncholonce, Yondel wos slightly worried. “Will Amos moke things hord for us regording the

colloborotion with your rejection?”

“You have a fiancée, Mr. Stone. And I have a fiancé.” Natalie continued, “If my fiancé finds out I accepted

something so significant from another man, he will be jealous.”

A glint of surprise flashed across Amos' eyes. “You have a fiancé? Is he the person who attended with you today?”

“Of course not!” Natalie denied. Is he joking? Even if I were to find someone to act as my fiancé, I wouldn't ask

someone who would be attending the banquet. Then, we wouldn't have to act and risk being exposed.

Amos wasn't planning on giving up, though. “We're not married yet, so never say never.”

“Not necessarily.” Natalie smirked. “If you truly want to marry, you don't have to wait. If we're not fated, then time

isn't the issue at all.”

The atmosphere between them was getting tenser by the minute.

Finally, Natalie nodded at Amos. “My partner has returned with the wine. Please excuse me.”

Under Yandel's scrutiny, Natalie walked over to Yandel's side and reached for the glass in his hand.

With an in-depth understanding of Natalie, he knew Amos must have gotten rebuffed by her.

Compared to Natalie's nonchalance, Yandel was slightly worried. “Will Amos make things hard for us regarding the

collaboration with your rejection?”
