Chapter 837 I Could Not Care Less
Samuel fed the second wedge to Natalie.
“It’s just a betrothal,” Samuel repeated firmly. “Plus, Luna and I hardly spent time with each other. It’s impossible for her to have strong feelings for me.” Samuel continued, “Even if she does, you’ve won me over first. That would not change. Whether or not she’s upset, I couldn’t care less. I only care about your happiness.”
His final statement sounded extremely merciless.
However, Natalie had to admit that he was not in the wrong.
There wasn’t so much right or wrong when it came to relationships, but rather the presence or absence of feelings.
Swallowing the piece of orange, Natalie flashed Samuel a smile. “Even if Ms. Garcia is betrothed to you, I have no intentions of letting you go. You’re mine. I’m not letting someone else have you!”
“Good.” Samuel’s eyes were filled with overflowing adoration. “In that case, you should declare me as yours more often.”
Meanwhile, as Luna exited the room, she noticed Steven following behind her.
“Mr. Steven, you don’t have to send me off. I remember the direction I came from.” Luna’s tone was polite but distant.
“You’re leaving in a few days?” Unable to help himself, Steven asked, “Can’t you stay in Dellmoor for two extra days and return to Greenview slightly later?”
Luna tossed a quizzical look at Steven’s request.
“Mr. Steven, what…”
“What I mean is, even though the poison has left Sam’s body, it’s still best to observe for a few more days. Your grandfather asked you to take care of Sam, right? So I think it’s best if you stay and observe for a little longer.” Unwilling to admit the truth, Steven came up with an excuse to ask Luna to stay.
The true reason behind Steven’s request went undetected by Luna.
After she heard Steven’s reasoning, she nodded seriously. “You’re right, Mr. Steven. I’ll stay back and observe Mr. Samuel’s condition for a few more days. Only when I’m certain that Mr. Samuel is fine will I leave Dellmoor.”
Steven was speechless, not knowing what to do with Luna.
She was not stupid, but the lack of experience made her naive. Because of that, she was unable to read between the lines.
Steven had originally made up his mind. Yet, for some strange reason, the words he wanted to say remained in his throat. Whenever he tried to speak, he would be at a loss for words.
Luna eyed Steven with her clear eyes. Seeing the hesitation on his face, she asked, “Are you okay, Mr. Steven? Is there something you want to tell me?”
Unable to say what he truly wanted to tell her, Steven sighed inwardly and gave up. Instead, he asked, “You’ve come to Dellmoor to treat Sam. I assume that you haven’t gone anywhere fun? Let me take you to some of the places you can’t find in Greenview, such as the aquarium.”
At the mention of the aquarium, Luna’s bright eyes lit up even more.
“Shall we?”
Since she was raised by her grandfather, Luna had matured at a young age. Even so, the child inside of her leaped for joy when Steven brought up the aquarium.
“Let’s.”
With that, Steven drove Luna to the aquarium.
Greenview was just a small town, so there was no aquarium there, unlike Dellmoor.
From the outside, the aquarium was already an impressive sight. However, when Luna followed Steven into the shark tunnel, she was so surprised that her jaw dropped.
Various fish of different shapes, sizes, and colors swam freely in the blue waters, passing from her left and right and even from above her head.
It was a peculiar yet amazing feeling for her.
Conversely, Steven had visited the aquarium way too many times when he was younger. Truth be told, he had gotten bored of the place. Nonetheless, when he saw the woman dressed in a white dress beside him staring at the fish in awe, he could not help but appreciate the wonders of the aquarium as well.
Suddenly, a simple-minded-looking plump child appeared out of the blue.
The child was so focused on running around that he was not looking in front of him as he charged toward Luna.
Out of reflex, Steven reached out subconsciously and grabbed Luna by her hand, pulling her closer to him.
“Careful.”
Just as Luna snapped out of her daze, she found herself in Steven’s arms.
Steven’s broad shoulders and warm arms were like a mighty fortress, shielding her from harm.
