Chapter 938 Hurt
Her soft red lips clung to the most sensitive part of the man’s neck.
The contact between her lips and his skin caused his laryngeal prominence to move up and down.
At this point, Natalie could hear the powerful beating of his heart.
To make matters worse, she felt her heart beating like a drum and almost jumping to her throat.
The woman felt flustered and apprehensive all at once.
Her delicate face suddenly flushed, and the redness spread all the way to the back of her ears.
If Yandel were present, he would discover that a calm, strong, and infallible woman could also be weak and emotional.
Natalie’s almond-shaped eyes were round and wide as she looked at him in a panic.
That look aroused the deepest primitive desire in his heart, and suddenly, he maneuvered his body upward in an instant and placed her soft body under him. Then, he propped his arm on the side of her body.
His other hand grabbed her chin, and his rough thumb rubbed her lips gently.
He was so obsessed that he desperately wanted to kiss her seductive lips.
Natalie frowned and uttered, “Y-You… What are you going to do to me?”
Hearing the panic in her voice, Samuel came back to his senses and moved his hand away from her delicate face. “Are you hurt?”
“No.” After replying to him, she gazed at him unwaveringly. “Thank you for helping me just now, but next time I don’t need you to help me. I’d rather fall and get hurt than be helped without explanation.”
With that, Natalie left Pendant Hall without a backward glance.
Even after walking out of the courtyard, when Natalie stroked her delicate face, she could still feel the warmth from her blushing.
This man that she had just met seemed to have too many secrets.
They had just known each other for only a short time, but she found him incredibly fascinating.
Whenever he drew near, she would feel flustered.
The closer he came, the more flustered she felt.
If it was not for him wearing a mask, I’m afraid we’d already have been sexually intimate when I was in a state of confusion.
“What’s the matter with me?” Natalie bit her red lips, looked at the bright full moon in the night sky, and muttered to herself, “Is it possible… that when the moon is full, I would also become like a werewolf and devour any man I come across?”
This was naturally impossible, but it was undeniable that Xander was hiding too many secrets.
Why would a wealthy young heir whose face had been seriously injured in a fire come to the kingdom of Loang instead of staying home to recuperate?
What is his purpose in approaching me? I must certainly do a thorough investigation of Xander’s background!
Only after he was certain that Natalie was far away from Pendant Hall did Samuel remove the silver mask from his face.
The bite marks left behind by the girl, Natalie, on his hand could still be seen.
Samuel felt no anger as he thought about how she behaved like a wild cat. Instead, his lips curved gently into a smile.
As he stroked the cold iron mask in his hand, his thoughts wandered far away.
After a few moments, he gave Jesper a call.
“Sir…” Jesper had been waiting for the call, and so he immediately spoke. “I’m sorry I did not do my job well.”
“Jesper, your actions were discovered because you were careless,” Samuel said softly. “I don’t need to say more. Go to see Weston tomorrow and receive your punishment.”
Samuel’s evaluation was direct, and Jesper agreed, “Yes, sir. I understand.”
“Tonight, work with Billy to handle Xander’s information.” Samuel’s gaze shifted thoughtfully. “You should understand her more by now. She is always beyond our expectations. You will be at a disadvantage if you are not on high alert around her.”
In the past, Jesper had thought that Samuel was overreacting about Natalie, but now, he knew that he should not take her lightly as he could still remember the feeling of her blade against his neck.
Immediately, he replied earnestly, “Sir, I understand. This time I will make up for it.”
