Chapter 906 A Worrying Person Part Four
“Who did I remind you of?” Samuel regretted asking the moment those words left his mouth.
As he expected, Natalie’s warm gaze hardened as she scowled, “You wouldn’t know him even if I told you. No matter how much you act him, you will never be him.”
Samuel felt his heart aching when he heard those words.
Although he was physically close to her, he could only use such means to protect her.
“C-Can you let go of me now?” Natalie’s eyes filled with tears, but she did not look away.
Samuel furrowed his brows. He did not want to let go of her. Instead, he wished he could do wilder things to the bunny woman in bed. Yet, his brain told him otherwise.
All the hard work he put in previously would go to waste if he did as he wished.
Reluctantly, Samuel let go of her arm and got off her. Then, he walked past the bed without a word.
Natalie awkwardly rubbed her nose. Staring at the tall man, she could not help but ask, “Mr. York, I have a question I’ve always wanted to ask you.”
“Feel free to ask me anything.” Samuel’s glanced at Natalie.
“Why do you always appear by my side when I get into trouble?” Natalie got up and stood in front of Samuel. Staring straight at the masked man, she questioned, “Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”
Every time she was helpless, Xander would magically appear to help her.
There could be an explanation for two such incidences. However, the third time made it seem like it was intentional.
“What were you hoping to hear, other than it being a coincidence, Ms. Nichols?” Samuel’s voice dropped an octave, and he sounded colder than ever. “Do you think I’m stalking you? Otherwise, are you secretly hoping I’m the man you can’t get over?”
After hearing those words, Natalie could not help but shudder.
She could not believe that he called her out for her inner thoughts.
Yes, she could not forget Samuel. Therefore, she had always secretly wished for Xander to be him.
“Well, I guess I should let you see the truth. You should give up on that hope.” Samuel narrowed his eyes and pulled off his mask as soon as he finished speaking to reveal his appearance.
Natalie did not expect him to take off his mask so willingly. However, when she saw his facial features underneath it, she was terrified to see his burn scars.
Scars covered his entire face, and his nose and mouth were slightly deformed.
Samuel’s appearance, and this man’s was worlds’ apart.
“Y-You aren’t-” Natalie stammered and subconsciously took a few steps backward.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of loss gripping her heart, and the light in her eyes dimmed. As expected, her imagination had run wild, and it would never come true.
Shortly after, Samuel turned around to put on his mask back on again.
Natalie was not any other woman. She was not any less observant or analytical as compared to him. Therefore, he had to leave her with no room for doubt to make her buy that he was Xander.
This time, he deliberately hired a makeup artist to help him produce this look in two hours. It was all done to dispel Natalie’s suspicions by taking off his mask.
“Did you take a good look earlier?” Samuel questioned. “Are you finally convinced that it was all a coincidence? I wore a mask only because it was necessary. There is no other reason for it, and I hope Ms. Nichols would stop getting your hopes high about a man out of a fantasy-”
Fantasy?
That word rang in Natalie’s ears.
Yes, when did I become such an unrealistic person, coming up with fantasies in my head that could never happen in real life?
