Chapter 865 You Left Me
“Okay.” Xander’s voice was still hoarse. “I can lend you my identity for half a year, but don’t go around having any affairs. Otherwise, I’d have women pestering me afterward.”
Xander got injured in a fire because of a woman.
“Don’t worry, I won’t.”
Samuel had no interest in any woman except for Natalie. He was reluctant to entrust her to him.
“In return for letting me use your identity, I’ve recruited the most renowned plastic surgeon for you. Half a year later, you can take off the silver mask and reclaim everything that you’ve lost from the York family,” suggested Samuel.
Xander clenched his fists. “Thank you.”
After leaving the medical facility by the ocean, Samuel received Natalie’s call on the way back.
When he saw the familiar name, Samuel felt like his heart was being pierced. It was a painful feeling.
Afraid that he would become distracted by the call, he stopped the Bentley by the roadside.
“Hello?”
“Is it convenient for you to speak now?” asked Natalie. “I’d like to talk to you.”
“I can talk to you in person,” said Samuel.
“No, it’s fine. Ten minutes is enough. I can make myself clear through the phone, so there’s no need to meet,” interrupted Natalie coldly. “Although I don’t think that it’s the end of the world, I don’t want to meet you.”
Although Samuel could not see Natalie’s expression, his emotions churned because of what she said.
There were a lot of things he wanted to tell her, but he could not articulate anything.
Eventually, Natalie broke the silence. “I’ll move out of the Bowers residence today. Two days later, I’ll move to Loang to work. I’ll bring the five children, including Yumi, with me. In the future, you’ll be marrying Ms. Garcia. The kids might be a burden to you, but they’re precious to me. If you think that you owe me, don’t fight with me for the kids. Let them leave with me.”
Natalie expressed her innermost thoughts. The kids were her only soft spot. Although she could lose the love of her life, she must never lose her kids.
“Okay, I agree,” replied Samuel after a long while.
“Really?”
Natalie could barely believe her ears. She thought that Samuel would not let her bring the kids away without a fight, but he agreed so easily.
At that moment, her heart ached terribly.
What is it that could make Samuel let me go and give up custody over the kids so easily?
“Are you hiding something from me, Samuel?” blurted Natalie.
“I did in the past, but not anymore,” replied Samuel solemnly. “There’s no need to hide anything from you. I owe you this. Furthermore, after I marry Luna, it’s true that the kids will trouble her if they stay with me.”
Natalie chuckled self-mockingly. “Looks like I’m overthinking.”
Samuel’s heart ached uncontrollably when he heard her self-deprecating tone. However, when he remembered that he was in no position to do that, all he could do was to grip the steering wheel tightly. The veins in his arms popped out.
Natalie stood underneath the sunset, bathing in the glow of the dusk. She bit her lips so forcefully that they bled.
Even if she was faced with all sorts of hardships and obstacles, she would still be willing to stay by his side.
However, he was willing to use ‘betrayal’ as an excuse to chase her away this time. Yet, he was unwilling to reveal anything close to the truth to her.
Even if she wanted to guess, she did not even know where to start.
If Samuel had already decided, there was no way she could win him over.
“Samuel, you’re the one who left me,” spat Natalie, articulating every single word. “I don’t want to say, ‘See you again’. It’s better if we never meet again.”
