Chapter 1015 My Husband Is Strong
Samuel had to admit that Jerome was an opponent worthy of respect if the latter could garner such high praises from the children.
As the children stared at him with worry, he raised his head and promised, “Don’t worry. He may be good, but I’m no slouch either. I won’t let him take your mommy away.”
Upon getting his reassurance, the children’s anxious expressions relaxed.
“We believe in you, Daddy!”
“Do your best, Daddy!”
“Fighting!”
The five kids relaxed completely as the alarms in their hearts were turned off.
As Samuel worked, the children spent their free time doing their stuff instead of being disruptive, leading to an indescribably harmonious atmosphere.
Meanwhile, in the study, Natalie had been flipping through books so old that the pages had turned yellow and were falling apart.
Samuel didn’t bring up the topic of his poison for fear that it would make her sad.
However, she promised she wouldn’t give up on him, and she intended to keep her word.
She stayed awake deep into the night until the point where she could no longer resist her sleepiness and fell asleep on the desk.
After Samuel coaxed his children to sleep, he still didn’t see Natalie returning to the bedroom.
So, he put the tablet down and entered the study to see her sleeping on the desk.
Even though there wasn’t any makeup on her porcelain-like face, she still appeared irresistibly stunning under the orange light.
As he glanced at the desk she was sleeping on, he saw the precious books that her grandfather had left behind.
Natalie had been shutting herself in the study and staying up until three in the morning for his sake.
Samuel crouched, pulled her into his arms, and carried her in his embrace.
She gently rubbed her head against his chest a few times, likely because her subconscious mind detected his scent.
He stared at her tenderly as the edge of his lips curved slightly upward.
Then, he carried her into the bedroom and covered her with a blanket before turning off the light.
As they both lay in bed, Natalie had already entered dreamland while Samuel was still trying to fall asleep.
In his drowsy state, he noticed her soft body moving closer and closer to him before she hugged him tightly.
Whether when she was awake or asleep, it was very rare for her to hug him so possessively. However, that night was different.
Samuel moved his body a little, which caused Natalie to mumble with dissatisfaction.
“Don’t go… I won’t let you go, Samuel… Wait! Just wait… for me. I’ll come up with a way…” she mumbled in her half-asleep state.
He could hear every single word she muttered in her sleep clearly. She told me before that I brought her salvation. Now it seems like she’s returning the favor. I had given up on removing the poison from my body, yet she still did her best to save me. In that case, how can I just give up? If I stop trying, doesn’t that mean I’m spitting on her hard work?
Unbeknownst to him, his train of thought had solidified his determination to survive.
He kissed Natalie’s forehead and spoke with his magnetic voice. “Goodnight!”
The next day, when Natalie headed downstairs for breakfast, she saw that Samuel was already sitting at the dining table with the children. That sight brought a smile to her face.
What she wanted had always been simple.
The scene in front of her was the happiness she craved.
Emma served the freshly prepared breakfast with a smile. “Mr. Bowers is the one who prepared today’s breakfast, Ms. Nichols! He’s such a good cook that it made me feel bad about my cooking skills!”
She wasn’t flattering Samuel as she was genuinely shocked by his amazing cooking skill.
In her mind, a man as elegant and handsome as Samuel wasn’t much of an expert at doing chores. And yet, he was so good that he easily prepared breakfast for seven people!
“You don’t have to be so humble, Mrs. Bunton.” After Natalie took a bite of the meatballs, she smiled. “Well, I suppose my hubby is pretty outstanding.”
