Chapter 704 Always Believe Me
“What is it, then?” Samuel lifted her by the chin to make her look at him.
Natalie wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and buried her face in his chest. “It’s nothing. I just got some sand in my eyes, that’s all.”
“Really?”
“Of course! I have you, the four sweethearts, and many other people to keep me company now! What could possibly make me sad?” Natalie replied while nuzzling against his chest.
Samuel patted her gently on the head. “Come on, I’ll take you home.”
“Okay.”
Samuel then drove Natalie back to the Bowers residence.
As it was quite late by the time they got there, the four kids had already gone to bed.
“Welcome home! You two must be hungry after spending such a long day outside! I’ll whip up something in the kitchen right away!” Gavin said when he saw them return.
“That won’t be necessary. I’m sure you’re just as tired, Gavin. We’ll cook some simple dishes ourselves, so please go get some rest,” Samuel replied as he took his coat off and rolled up his shirt sleeves.
Gavin nodded. “All right, then. Good night, you two.”
Natalie waited until Gavin left before turning toward Samuel. “But, I don’t really know how to-”
“Don’t worry. I’ll do the cooking, so you just wait in the dining room. I’ll bring the food over once it’s done,” Samuel said while giving her an affectionate pinch on the nose.
“Okay!”
Samuel then started peeling some prawns and marinating them in olive oil, garlic and pepper. Once that was done, he seared them in a pan with some butter and oil.
About forty minutes later, Samuel came out of the kitchen with two bowls of piping hot garlic prawns in hand.
Natalie held up a spoonful and blew on it before shoving it into her mouth. “It’s delicious!” she exclaimed in surprise as the rich flavors bombarded her taste buds.
She didn’t eat much during the barbecue earlier, and she completely forgot about eating when she worked while Yandel and the others slept.
As such, she began wolfing down her food when the tantalizing aroma hit her nose. It wasn’t until she had finished her food that she realized Samuel didn’t eat much of his.
“Here, have some more,” Samuel said while topping her bowl up with some of his prawns.
Natalie had wanted to refuse his offer, but the garlic prawns tasted so good that she couldn’t resist them at all.
After finishing her food and filling up her tummy, Natalie propped her chin up with one hand as she gazed into Samuel’s eyes.
“Thanks for the garlic prawns tonight! I know you’re worried about me, but I have to take risks in order to truly destroy the Nichols family for good. This request of mine might be a little selfish, but I hope that you’ll always believe me no matter what others think of me.”
Instead of replying to her statement verbally, Samuel simply gave her a deep and passionate kiss in response.
The negative comments from haters of Dream Corporation got worse the next day.
Kenneth’s eyes went wide with disbelief when he saw the articles online.
Having gotten to know Natalie a lot better, he believed that she would never do such heartless things for the sake of money.
While Kenneth wasn’t sure what Samuel was planning on doing, he did have some connections that he planned on using to lend Natalie a helping hand.
After giving it some thought, Kenneth went through his list of contacts and began making phone calls.
“Yes, I believe Dream Corporation was sabotaged by its competitor. I hope you will all help my potential granddaughter-in-law get through this crisis.”
Yara had just entered the Bowers manor when she heard Kenneth saying that on the phone.
A sinister smile formed on her face as she thought to herself.
Great… I’ve been staying by this old man’s side for five years pretending to be all obedient, only to have Natalie pop out of nowhere and ruin everything!
