Chapter 244 He Had Fallen Head Over Heels
Once Natalie finished speaking, Billy and Sarah were taken back and stared at her in disbelief.
They had seen a lot of beautiful women. Although Natalie was not exceptionally gorgeous, her temperament was unique, making people deeply attracted by her calm demeanor.
She was like a piece of jade, not ostentatious but had both inner and outer beauty, which was precious.
They did not understand why Samuel tried so hard to protect Natalie back then. However, now they understood. It was because she was worth it.
In the meantime, Samuel’s expression was frosty.
“Are you threatening me?”
“No,” Natalie denied. Then, she continued softly, “I’m just asking for mercy for them.”
Asking for mercy? She’s obviously threatening me! Billy and Sarah didn’t manage to protect her and should be punished. Only then will they remember the lesson and won’t make the same mistake again. This woman is saying that I should punish her as well. How can I watch her getting injured again?
After taking a deep breath, Samuel piped up, “You’re exempted from punishment, but you still have to reflect upon your mistakes. You’re dismissed.”
“Yes.”
Billy and Sarah stood up. They were deeply moved and only left the room after giving Natalie a grateful look.
After they left, Samuel leaned over and bit Natalie’s lips.
“What are you doing?”
“Since you asked for mercy for them, you’ve to bear with my anger.”
In response, Natalie widened her eyes and glanced at him.
“Samuel, it’s good to be fair in giving out rewards and penalties. However, I can see that although they’re your subordinates, they’re people who are close to you. It’s normal for accidents to happen during a mission. I can feel that they’ve done everything they could to protect me. Since they’ve tried their best, it’s enough. Moreover, I know you won’t be happy even if you punish them.”
She meant every word she said.
Meanwhile, Samuel’s heart missed a beat when he heard that. Initially, he thought that she was just soft-hearted. Unexpectedly, besides being soft-hearted, she also did not want him to hurt those close to him because of her.
“Nat, how can you be so attractive?”
He brushed his lips against her lips.
How can I not fall in love with such a woman?
In an instant, Samuel wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace domineeringly.
“It hurts.”
“Don’t lie to me. I didn’t touch your wound,” remarked Samuel.
“I’m not lying.” Her voice was soft. “It’s not the wound. You’re hugging me too tightly.”
Natalie hid her blushed face in his chest.
Because she was close to him, she could feel his strong heartbeat.
Slowly, she felt tired, and her eyelids were getting heavier.
As a matter of fact, she had never felt such a sense of security before, as if she could be unscrupulous and did not need to care about anything if she was in his arms.
The man in front of her would protect her from every danger and crisis.
Kissing her ear, he whispered, “Actually, I’m more annoyed at myself. I should’ve kept you by my side and not allowed you to go anywhere. Or perhaps, I should go wherever you go. With me by your side, I won’t let anything bad happen to you.”
The moment he found out that she was injured, his heart ached, as if it was stabbed by a knife.
Instantaneously, he arranged for a helicopter and rushed to Livingsfill.
Even though Billy reassured him that Natalie had only injured her arm, and the wound was not life-threatening, he still could not calm down.
Once again, he came to a realization—he had fallen head over heels for a woman named Natalie Nichols.
