Chapter 855 Her Substitute
One would know Samuel was hot just from a glimpse at his back in a white shirt.
Natalie was standing outside the door, so she couldn’t see Samuel’s face from her angle.
Opening the door to the greenhouse, she slowly walked toward him.
However, Samuel wasn’t the only person waiting for her there.
When she saw Luna dressed in a green blouse and a cream-colored skirt, standing beside Samuel, a sense of dread snaked up Natalie’s back, rooting her feet to the ground, causing her to freeze in her tracks.
Isn’t he going to propose to me here? So why is Luna from the Garcia family doing here?
Natalie’s eyes were round as she stared at the two in disbelief.
Samuel and Luna were so immersed in their conversation that they didn’t notice Natalie’s arrival.
“I’m sorry, Luna. This is a belated regret of mine.” Samuel got down on one knee. “I finally realize the person I love is you, and not Natalie. I hope you can be the one to stay with me for the rest of my life.”
Such a heartfelt confession he was telling, yet it was to another woman right in front of me.
At that moment, Natalie felt her body turn cold, and her heart sank.
No way, this is impossible! It’s too preposterous!
Natalie clenched her fists tightly, pushing her nails into her palm, trying to wake herself up from this nightmare. Yet the pain was so vivid, telling her the scene unfolding in front of her wasn’t just a bad dream.
Luna could see Natalie from her angle, but it was too late to call the entire thing off.
“Samuel, it was a dream of mine to marry you.” Luna tried to gather all her emotions and responded, “I finally got the happiness I’ve been waiting for, so yes, I’ll marry you.”
Samuel slowly slid a diamond ring onto Luna’s finger.
The two embraced at the joyous occasion.
Samuel tilted Luna’s face toward him and slowly bent down to kiss her lips.
His lips were drawing closer and closer to Luna’s.
He’s really planning to kiss her!
Unable to keep her anger in check, Natalie snapped, “Is this what you want to show me, Samuel?”
Natalie closed the distance between her and the two, glaring at them with bloodshot eyes.
“Tell me… Tell me, Samuel. This proposal you spent so much time and effort on was for her and not for me?” Natalie laughed as tears began streaming down the corners of her eyes. “You’re still playing a prank on me even now? Let me make this clear, I have faith in you. The woman you love is me and not anyone else.”
Anyone can have a change of heart in this world, but not Samuel. He had willingly sacrificed himself for me on numerous occasions, so it was impossible for him to love someone else.
Despite seeing it with her own two eyes, Natalie still didn’t believe it.
Seeing her tears, Samuel felt a stab of pain, but at the thought of his condition six months later, he suppressed his pain and kept his composure. “I’m not playing a prank on you. I love Luna, or should I say you’re just her stand-in?”
“Stand-in?” Natalie mumbled under her breath.
“Luna is my first love.” Samuel locked his gaze with Natalie. “My love for her was deep-rooted in my heart, but I got into an accident when I was eighteen and lost that part of my memory from head trauma. However, everything about her was still engraved somewhere deep in my brain, especially the herby scent surrounding her.”
“And?” Natalie’s tears continued to flow as she resumed his story, “Because of the herby scent that also surrounded me, you mistook me for her and treated me as her replacement. Now that she’s here and helps you recover your memory, you realize I’m just her substitute?”
