Chapter 253 Never Apologize
Hearing that, Samuel quirked his brows and pinched Natalie’s chin.
“When did you get so familiar with him?” he questioned.
“How do I know?” Natalie could not help but rolled her eyes. “Isn’t he your best friend?”
Samuel raised the corners of his lips slightly and uttered, “Huh, then I guess you’re not familiar with him.” Then, he gave her a big smooch before averting his gaze to Justin.
In actuality, Justin went there to ask if his outfit fit the aesthetics of a woman since he wanted to show it to Jane. Little did he know that he would have to see them display affection for each other before he could get an answer.
When Samuel wasn’t in love, he was like an emotionless sculpture. Is he trying to make up for it by displaying his affection as often as possible now? This is too torturing. Why are they tormenting me?
After he finally calmed his emotions, he queried, “Samuel, shall we depart now? Or else we’ll be late for the banquet.”
Only then did Natalie know Samuel had a banquet to attend that night.
Since she was not interested in banquets, she would rather stay in the mansion to read some medical books or be in the research laboratory to experiment with the medicines.
“Nat, go with me,” Samuel chimed.
“Can I stay at the mansion instead?” Frowning, she looked at him puzzledly. “You didn’t tell me anything about it.”
“If I told you beforehand, you would find a way to not attend it tonight,” he refuted, pinching her cheek. “Many women dream of attending this kind of banquet. You’re the only want who wants to avoid it.”
Samuel was right. If he had told her a day earlier, she would have thought of a way to get out of it.
“Do I have to go?” she asked.
“You didn’t agree to be my woman, but at least be my plus one.”
Natalie could feel the love and affection that he gave her so far.
Hence, after giving it some thought, she nodded.
“Okay, then. I’ll go with you.”
When Natalie went upstairs to change clothes, Justin and Samuel were waiting downstairs.
Staring at the noble and graceful man in front of him, Justin asked, “Samuel, if you want to be with Natalie, what are you going to do with the woman in Dellmoor? Your grandfather has been telling everyone that she’s the future lady of the Bowers family. Everyone in your family already has a tacit understanding regarding your marriage. After all, Franklin will take over your position in the future. If that woman isn’t your wife, he’ll become an illegitimate child instead of the heir of the Bowers family. Even if you don’t care about yourself, at least spare a thought for Franklin and Sophia.”
Hearing that, Samuel whipped around and met Justin’s eyes.
“Franklin and Sophia like Nat more than their biological mother.”
“I know, but this doesn’t change what I said.” Justin sighed. “It’s not easy to be a lady of any family, especially the Bowers family. Her face alone may cause her to get attacked by others.”
Justin did not dislike Natalie. On the contrary, he felt that although she was not a beauty, she was able to make others take a liking to her.
However, as someone who grew up in a wealthy family, he knew how things worked.
Thus, Justin felt the need to remind Samuel of the problems he might face in the future.
He could still turn back before the dust settled.
“Justin, you don’t have to worry about this,” remarked Samuel. “What happened six years ago was a mistake. Since it’s a mistake, it must be corrected. I won’t let this mistake go on forever.”
“A mistake?”
“Yes.”
A hint of determination flickered across Samuel’s eyes.
It might be possible for him to recognize her face wrongly, but his feelings would not go wrong.
If it were not for her, his self-control would not be so bad to the point that he wanted to possess her so badly that he ignored her when she begged for mercy.
