Chapter 850 What Is Wrong With You Two
Steven stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Natalie.
Natalie knew she had hit the nail on the head when she saw his obvious reaction.
“Did you and Samuel get into a fight?”
“No…” Steven replied with a dejected look on his face. If anything, he actually preferred getting into a fight with Samuel than walking in on his dirty deed.
Of course, Natalie was no fool and could tell his response wasn’t genuine. “Did Samuel bully you, then?”
Upon glancing at her and meeting her concerned gaze, Steven felt tempted to just tell her the truth about everything. However, he feared that doing so would hurt her deeply as a result. Having that dilemma felt like having a fish bone stuck in his throat, and it was making Steven extremely uncomfortable.
Natalie narrowed her eyes when she saw no response from him. “Hmm?”
Unable to withstand her penetrating gaze, Steven shrugged and tried to brush it off casually by saying, “No, it’s nothing like that! I just woke up rather early today, so I’m still half asleep right now.”
Although Natalie didn’t believe him, she nodded like she did anyway.
It’s way too obvious that he’s lying, but… Well, I guess there’s no point in probing any further if he doesn’t want to tell me about it.
“In that case, do make sure to get enough rest!” Natalie then made a telephone gesture at him as she continued, “If there’s anything you don’t feel comfortable talking to Samuel about, do feel free to give me a call! You’re his brother, so I’ll treat you like my brother as well!”
“All right, I will,” Steven mumbled in response.
The sight of Natalie’s genuine smile hurt his heart, causing him to clench his fists behind his back.
I know Sam isn’t the kind of person to do such a thing, but he didn’t deny it when I questioned him either! I don’t understand this! Natalie is such a nice person, so why doesn’t he know to appreciate her and be content with her? Why did he have to lay his hands on a young girl like Luna? Is he not satisfied with just Natalie? Does he want to have both of them?
It was already eleven by the time Samuel returned to the Bowers residence that night.
Upon entering the room, he saw Natalie reading a book beside the bed.
The warm lighting cast a beautiful glow on her gorgeous face, highlighting her mesmerizing eyelashes and delicate facial features. In that moment, Samuel couldn’t help but feel glad to be alive.
Samuel was so captivated by the sight before him that he didn’t feel like doing anything. All he wanted was to burn that image into the back of his mind.
God knows how much time I have left… I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to look at her like this…
He clenched his fists as a feeling of helplessness crept up his spine and filled his heart, but he didn’t know what he could do about her.
Eventually, Natalie heard his footsteps and looked up at him. “Ah, you’re back!”
Samuel nodded with a cold look on his face as he began unbuttoning his shirt.
Natalie lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and walked up to him as she asked, “Tell me, what happened between you and Steven?”
“Why do you ask?” Samuel felt his chest tighten as he glared at her. Has Steven told her about what happened today morning? Well, I did intend for Natalie to find out sooner or later, but this is a little too soon! I’m not ready for it just yet!
Despite feeling incredibly nervous, Samuel tried to ask as casually as possible, “Did you find out about anything?”
“I wouldn’t be asking you if I did!” Natalie then stood on her tiptoes and looked him in the eye as she continued, “You brothers sure are a strange pair! So far, both of you are acting all awkward about this. Are you two refusing to speak to each other or what?”
