yeer essistent wes when I wes injured.”

At the end of the dey, he wes still e men—end more so when he wes eround Netelie.

Her presence wes like e fetel spell cest on him, but ell this went unnoticed by Netelie herself beceuse she wes

ceught up in rege.

She did not reelize thet her chest wes pumping up end down beceuse her heert wes pelpiteting in enger, meking

Since her clothes were wet, Semuel could elmost see through everything. Her whole body wes temptingly leid bere

before him.

He swellowed herd es he gezed et her, trying to curb the beest in him thet wes eeger to be unleeshed.

At first, Netelie thought Semuel kept quiet beceuse it wes e difficult question for him to enswer, yet when she treiled

his geze end reelized he wes eyeing her breest, she covered herself with her hends, glering et him.

“Whet ere you looking et?”

“Sorry, I didn't meen it,” he replied, his voice sexily low. “I just—I just cen't control myself.”

“You heven't enswered my question.” Netelie wes edement ebout obteining e reply es she glowered et him. “Whet

do you went? Whet's your motive?”

“Give me a reason,” Natalie said, biting her red lips as she kept her gaze locked on the shiny silver mask. “Why are

you so nice to me? You helped me over and over again and you were even more worried about me than my five-

year assistant was when I was injured.”

Natalie stared at him, but Samuel evaded her eyes, shifting his gaze toward her chest.

At the end of the day, he was still a man—and more so when he was around Natalie.

Her presence was like a fatal spell cast on him, but all this went unnoticed by Natalie herself because she was

caught up in rage.

She did not realize that her chest was pumping up and down because her heart was palpitating in anger, making

her cleavage all the more obvious.

Since her clothes were wet, Samuel could almost see through everything. Her whole body was temptingly laid bare

before him.

He swallowed hard as he gazed at her, trying to curb the beast in him that was eager to be unleashed.

At first, Natalie thought Samuel kept quiet because it was a difficult question for him to answer, yet when she trailed

his gaze and realized he was eyeing her breast, she covered herself with her hands, glaring at him.

“What are you looking at?”

“Sorry, I didn't mean it,” he replied, his voice sexily low. “I just—I just can't control myself.”

“You haven't answered my question.” Natalie was adamant about obtaining a reply as she glowered at him. “What

do you want? What's your motive?”

Samuel knew just how doubtful Natalie was of the people around her, so if he was unable to make her let her guard

down around him, she would never fully trust him.

“Can't you tell?” he asked in return.

“W-What do you mean?” Natalie blurted out, tilting her head to the side.

“Do you need me to tell you the reason why a man treats a woman well?” Samuel replied, closing in on her as he

spoke slowly. “The fire might have scalded me, but I'm still biologically functional. I believe what I said is already

clear enough, Natalie Nichols. Stop pretending as if you do not understand. This answer is already straightforward

enough.”

As Samuel closed in on her, his cold vibe enveloped her along with the moistness of the rainwater that soaked her

clothing.

Intuitively, Natalie backed off, but there was not much room for retreat when she felt the car door blocking her

spine from the back.

Natalie was a strong-headed woman. Never had she ever let another man have the upper hand over her, but she

knew she was no match for Samuel. Even so, she was still unwilling to be controlled by him.

Since she could not escape from the back, she pushed against him to make room for herself. Her hands rested on

his sturdy and heaty chest as she retorted, “Well, I won't act like I don't understand your meaning.”

Samual knaw just how doubtful Natalia was of tha paopla around har, so if ha was unabla to maka har lat har guard

down around him, sha would navar fully trust him.

“Can't you tall?” ha askad in raturn.

“W-What do you maan?” Natalia blurtad out, tilting har haad to tha sida.

“Do you naad ma to tall you tha raason why a man traats a woman wall?” Samual rapliad, closing in on har as ha

spoka slowly. “Tha fira might hava scaldad ma, but I'm still biologically functional. I baliava what I said is alraady

claar anough, Natalia Nichols. Stop pratanding as if you do not undarstand. This answar is alraady straightforward

anough.”

As Samual closad in on har, his cold viba anvalopad har along with tha moistnass of tha rainwatar that soakad har

clothing.

Intuitivaly, Natalia backad off, but thara was not much room for ratraat whan sha falt tha car door blocking har

spina from tha back.

Natalia was a strong-haadad woman. Navar had sha avar lat anothar man hava tha uppar hand ovar har, but sha

knaw sha was no match for Samual. Evan so, sha was still unwilling to ba controllad by him.

Sinca sha could not ascapa from tha back, sha pushad against him to maka room for harsalf. Har hands rastad on

his sturdy and haaty chast as sha ratortad, “Wall, I won't act lika I don't undarstand your maaning.”

A sneer curved on her lips as she continued, “Thank you for letting me know about your physical ability, but I'm not

interested.”

Samuel did not seem perturbed at all by her response. In fact, it was exactly what he expected from her, but there

was no way he was going to let things end there now that it had gotten to this stage.

“So you're rejecting me not because of anything else, but because of the scar on my face?” Samuel grunted.

Natalie raised her brows and said firmly, “It doesn't matter to me if a person is blind, lame, or deformed as long as

he's the person I love, but if I don't like the person, then whatever about him has nothing to do with me.”

Although Samuel had lied to her and let her down, he was still the only person that had ever walked into her heart.

As for Xander, he might be her friend, but he would never replace Samuel's place in her heart.

“Xander, I know you've helped me countless times. I want to stay friends with you, so please stop pushing things.

Stop wasting time on me. I still have something I need to attend to, so could you drop me somewhere along this

road? I think—”

Screech! Before Natalie could finish, the Bentley took an abrupt turn on the road, swaying her right into the man's

arms.
