Chapter 401 I Will Never Let You Down
Natalie glared at Christopher.
“The man who likes you cannot even tell that your face is fake?” said Christopher sarcastically. “If you remove that hyper-realistic mask of yours, will he be able to differentiate between you and Yara?”
He had lost the mining project to Samuel.
However, he had no intention of losing the woman he liked to Samuel again.
Moreover, there were other business domains that he could venture into, but Natalie was not someone that he wanted to lose. Christopher was not sure that he would meet another woman like Natalie again.
He could not seem to forget about her.
Now that she had appeared in front of him with her guard down, he was unable to resist her warmth.
Natalie gave Christopher’s question a serious thought.
A moment later, she said, “I trust him. He will not confuse me with other women.”
“If he truly understands and loves you so much, how come he cannot even tell that you are in disguise?” asked Christopher coldly.
“It isn’t that he doesn’t understand me. He knows how to respect me.” Natalie looked up and continued, “He may or may not have spotted my disguise. But unlike you, he will not remove my hyper-realistic mask without my permission. He certainly won’t question me like this. He will wait for me to tell him the truth whenever I am ready.”
That was the kind of man Samuel was.
Samuel was a powerful man who gave her a sense of security.
If Christopher could see through her disguise, there was no reason to think that Samuel could not.
He was just playing along with her.
“Let go.”
Christopher pretended not to hear her. Instead, he held Natalie’s hand even tighter.
The very next second, Natalie bit Christopher on his hand when he was not looking.
It was such a strong bite that she could smell blood.
Christopher was in such pain that he let go of Natalie’s hand immediately.
She quickly ran away from him and disappeared.
Snow began to fall.
The snow fell on the man’s body, but he was oblivious to it. He bit his lips, and a strange ache came from his chest.
He was so besotted with her that it was impossible for him to give up.
If she belonged to Samuel, then he would have to defeat Samuel and take her away from him.
Natalie hailed a cab and returned to the Bowers residence.
Before she reached back, Natalie changed into her usual hyper-realistic mask and returned to a state of normalcy.
Once she was home, Gavin told her that the four little fellows were already fast asleep.
Natalie went to her children’s room, made sure they were covered snugly and kissed them all on their foreheads before returning to her own room.
After her shower, Natalie gave Samuel a call.
“Are you home yet?” asked Samuel in a deep and affectionate voice.
“Yes.”
There was so much that Natalie wanted to say, but all of a sudden, she did not know where to start.
She really could not care less if Samuel was aware of her disguise. What mattered to her most was his love and respect for her. He made her feel safe.
“Samuel, it’s snowing…” Natalie choked up as she mumbled.
“It’s the same here too.” Samuel’s magnetic voice had a hint of regret.
At that moment, Samuel really wanted to have Natalie by his side with his arm around her slim waist, and the both of them watched the first snowfall of the season together.
Natalie smiled. “The snow is beautiful.”
“Yes.”
“When I look at the snow, I think of you. Even though we may be apart, it feels like we are together when we are looking at the same snowfall,” said Natalie with a wistful smile.
“That sounded so sad. It doesn’t suit us.” Samuel said in an unprecedented tone, “I, Samuel Bowers, will never ever let you down.”
