Chapter 738 Samuel The Closet Beast
“Hmm?” It took Natalie a while before she realized what he meant. By the time she did, she couldn’t resist smiling. “He is no different from a child when he behaves childishly. In fact, my four children are a lot more mature than him at times.”
“Do you know what happened a few days before the press conference where you revealed yourself?”
“What?” Natalie knitted her brows inquisitively.
“During that period, there were large groups of men protecting you.” Recalling that the men he sent didn’t even have the opportunity to showcase their skills, Shawn lamented, “I had thought that Samuel didn’t care about the crisis at Dream but was later surprised to find out that his men had eliminated the assassins gunning for you before my men even arrived.”
Natalie’s eyes widened in shock, for she wasn’t aware of the drama behind the scenes of an otherwise uneventful period.
“Samuel sent men to watch my back?”
When he saw how stunned Natalie looked, Shawn was surprised. “You didn’t know? There was more than one batch of assassins who came for you. Fortunately, it was the same for those who protected you. Nonetheless, your unawareness doesn’t come as a surprise since Samuel’s actions have been truly covert.”
Natalie’s heart warmed upon hearing those words.
What a closet beast! Despite all he has done for me, he never mentioned it at all. If not for Shawn telling me about it, I would still have been kept in the dark.
Soon, Samuel arrived at the supermarket and found Natalie chatting with Shawn.
Even though he was aware that there was nothing going on between them, Samuel still couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy. Walking up and placing himself right between the two, he pulled her into his embrace. “Mr. Watsons, since I’m here, there’s no need to trouble yourself with looking after my girl.”
Even though his magnetic voice seemed to contain a hint of benevolence, Samuel’s eyes burned with hostility.
Feeling awkward from the stare Samuel was giving him, Shawn broke into a smile. “For Natalie’s sake, it’s no trouble at all.”
Those words inadvertently added fuel to fire, causing an icy glint to flash in Samuel’s eye.
While both men were locked in a staredown, a crowd began to gather and gossip.
“Look at those two men. Are they fighting over the woman? Both of them are so handsome, especially the one on the left!”
“That girl must have a face that launched a thousand ships. Even with her mask on, I can still see how pretty she is!”
“There’s no need for the girl at all! Just the two men alone will make an awesome couple. The pairing of an aggressive one with a submissive one would make a better match!”
The last girl’s voice traveled into Natalie’s ear.
Subconsciously, she looked at Samuel on her left before turning her attention to Shawn on her right. Linking the sight to the girl’s comment about both men being the perfect couple, Natalie could suddenly see the different charms both men were exuding.
When Samuel and Shawn turned to look at Natalie in unison, they quickly read what was going through her mind.
“Ugh…”
“Ugh…”
Exchanging glances again, both men retched in reflex.
Aware that both of them were straight and that she had gone overboard with her fantasies, she suggested in a delightful tone, “Since it’s such a wonderful coincidence to be gathered here today, why don’t I buy both of you coffee?”
Shawn readily agreed, “Sure.”
Despite his reluctance, Samuel nodded out of respect for Natalie. Nevertheless, he continued to keep her close with his hand holding her slender waist tightly.
