Chapter 243 Domineering Man
As soon as Natalie finished her sentence, both Samuel and she were stunned, especially Natalie.
Am I spouting nonsense because I lost too much blood and not in my right mind?
“Samuel, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean that.” Pursing her lips, she continued, “I just want to—”
Before she could utter the next word, Samuel had sealed her lips.
The next moment, he traced the shape of her lips and kissed her gently.
Natalie did not refuse but slowly closed her eyes, feeling the tenderness between her lips.
Gradually, the kiss went from gentle to passionate.
In the end, Samuel was concerned about the injury on her arm, so he stopped and did not go further.
He did not dare to indulge himself. If he continued with the kiss, he was afraid that he would do something inappropriate to the injured woman.
Meanwhile, Natalie was panting, and her face was burning.
Despite feeling shy, she did not regret the kiss.
Perhaps, it was when Billy told her the truth, or when she saw him the moment she woke up, she seemed to have heard the voice in her heart.
I might have fallen in love with him.
Natalie had never been in love, so she did not know what it was like to fall in love with someone.
All of a sudden, she became inexplicably nervous.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Shortly afterward, Billy and Sarah opened the door and walked in.
Natalie’s gaze fell on Sarah. She had changed out of the Todd family maid’s uniform and donned a black leather jacket and pants, looking valiant.
When she recalled what had happened previously, she noticed that Sarah had never interfered with her when they were in the Todd residence. On the contrary, Sarah would always hint at her when Liliana was going to visit her in the laboratory so that she had time to organize the table.
Everything she did wasn’t because she was considerate toward me but because she was ordered by Samuel. She’s the bodyguard sent by Samuel to protect me secretly.
Before she could express her gratitude, Billy and Sarah knelt on the ground.
“Mr. Bowers, we failed to protect Ms. Natalie, and because of that, she was injured. Please punish us,” uttered Billy.
Sarah chimed in as well, “Please punish us.”
Hearing that, Samuel shot them an icy glare and ordered indifferently, “Inflict the same wound to yourself then.”
As soon as he finished his sentence, Billy and Sarah nodded without any hesitation.
“Yes!” they answered in unison.
Startled, Natalie widened her eyes.
They’re the ones who saved me. How can Samuel punish them?
“Wait a minute.” She stretched out to hold Samuel’s hand. “You can’t punish them.”
“Why not?” Samuel’s expression turned grim, and he stared at the wound on her arm. “They were careless and made the wrong judgment. If they were a little later, you probably would’ve ignited the explosives and used your own life to save your friend!”
Having said that, he exuded a cold aura, making it seem like the surrounding temperature had dropped drastically.
Billy and Sarah knew why he was furious, and they were well aware that they almost failed to protect the future lady of the Bowers family, so they hung their heads lower.
Looking at Samuel, who was swelling with rage, Natalie mused, Right now, he isn’t elegant at all. He’s just a domineering man.
Although she was moved by how much he cared for her, she could not let him punish Sarah and Billy.
“Samuel, I don’t allow you to punish them.”
“That’s impossible,” said Samuel resolutely.
“If you want to punish them, then punish me too.” Natalie lifted her head and looked into his eyes. “At worst, I’ll sacrifice my arm,” she stated stubbornly.
