Chapter 789 Mistaken
Samuel knew how Natalie would get embarrassed easily, so he recollected himself. He then took a glass of orange juice from a server and gave it to her.
“Am I only allowed to have orange juice during a party?” Natalie asked coyly.
“Yes. If you want alcohol, you can have it at home,” Samuel raised his brows slightly and advised earnestly.
“Okay, then.”
Samuel had no intention of stopping Natalie from drinking. However, he knew how seductive she’d look whenever she was drunk. Since she wasn’t wearing an ugly mask, he didn’t want any other men to see that side of her.
In order to make her feel better, Samuel took a glass of orange juice for himself. “I’ll drink this with you.”
In response, Natalie smiled at him and uttered, “Okay.”
Not long afterward, Silas’ wife showed up with their daughter in her arms.
Although Samuel wasn’t interested in seeing the baby, Natalie was eager to see how cute the baby was. She quickly finished her orange juice and put the empty glass aside. “Hey! I’m going to go see the baby!”
Since Silas was Samuel’s uncle, the baby was Samuel’s cousin, even though they had a thirty years age gap between them.
With that, Natalie smiled and walked toward the inner hall.
As Samuel was watching her leave from behind, delight was shining in his eyes, and the corners of his lip curled into a wide smile.
Right then, Justin had arrived from Livingsfill. With an invitation card in his hand, he entered Imperial Hotel.
Apart from a few business phone calls, he hadn’t met Samuel ever since they parted ways in Livingsfill. Hence, he wanted to attend Silas’ daughter’s party to see how Samuel was doing.
Instead of contacting Samuel right away after entering the hotel, Justin went to see Silas’ daughter first. He wanted to give them a gift he’d brought along, a golden anklet made by a top-class craftsman.
Justin was in awe when he saw the baby. How is everyone in the Bowers family so good-looking? Are one-month-old babies supposed to look that pretty? She looks so cute with her dark and round eyes!
Justin went ahead and gave them the anklet.
Silas and his wife were overjoyed when they saw how exquisite the anklet looked.
“Thank you, Justin!”
“You’re welcome! My dad is busy at work, so he couldn’t come here personally. Instead, he sent me here to give you guys the gift.” Justin smiled and added, “May she grow up healthy!”
Guests kept arriving one after another to deliver their best wishes.
After Justin had given them the gift, he turned and left. From the corners of his eyes, he spotted a woman in a white dress sending her wishes to the baby as well.
He was stunned when he saw the woman. Isn’t that Yara? Since she can just show up casually on such an occasion, it seems like she’d cemented her place in the Bowers family! Not only is Yara the biological mother to two of Samuel’s children, but she’s so beautiful as well. I guess it isn’t surprising to see the Bowers family accepting her with open arms. Despite his thoughts, Justin couldn’t help but feel bad for the woman he met in Livingsfill.
That time, he was in disbelief when Samuel fell for the woman with freckles all over her face. In hindsight, how could something so unbelievable happen? Natalie had neither status nor looks. She could never marry Samuel.
At that moment, Natalie had also spotted Justin, whom she met in Livingsfill, and waved at him.
Seeing that, Justin merely responded with a polite smile before leaving.
Although Yara was better than Natalie in all aspects, Justin still liked the woman he met in Livingsfill more.
Instantly, Natalie noticed how half-hearted Justin’s smile was.
She couldn’t help but chuckle. It seems like he didn’t recognize me. Did he think I was Yara?
