Chapter 962 A Glimpse Of The Man She Loved
The view was hindered because it was raining outside. When Jesper tried to dodge a car, he spun the steering wheel immediately, sending the car in another direction.
He, of course, didn’t know how his action was going to affect Samuel and Natalie, who were in the backseat.
Samuel was quick to react when he leaned backward at the sudden impact, but not Natalie.
The momentum sent her upper body landing right on Samuel’s legs, and her face was just inches away from his groin.
After the little commotion, silence and stillness resumed in the car except for the muted sound of raindrops beating against the window, leaving trails of water as they dripped downward.
Inside the car, Natalie could feel the warmth radiating from that part close to her face.
She felt she was on the verge of going crazy when she saw with her own eyes that it was erected according to the laws of nature.
A pink hue flushed on her cheeks, and her heart throbbed uncontrollably. She knew that Xander was not doing it on purpose, but given how suggestive their positions were, Natalie could not help but feel ashamed. Gosh! Is there a hole I could hide in?
Meanwhile, although Samuel looked as calm as a cucumber on the outside, his heart was drumming. He could feel the blood pumping up that part of his body, so much so that it felt like exploding.
Given that he already found her irresistible during usual times, this delicate moment was way more tormenting for him.
Her face was red; she looked disoriented; her hair was tousled; her clothes were wet; her body shape was curvy—she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Even in the past, Samuel had not controlled himself when he was around her, so when he saw her in this state, he painfully wanted to spread her legs and make her ride him so he could do all the things he desired to her.
His hands slid to her waist, and just as Natalie thought he was about to force himself on her, he pulled her up and inclined his body before pulling the safety belt around her. In the end, he did not do anything that crossed the boundaries.
“Make sure you fasten your seatbelt if you don’t want anything like this happening again,” he reminded, looking outside of the car.
His blood was still raging, so he kept telling himself to calm down. He knew he must cool himself down, even if it meant forcing himself to.
Samuel had no choice. After all, he was the one who made Natalie think he was Xander. If he were to ignore her feelings and do something extreme to her, he would only push her further away from him. If he went overboard, she might even reject any form of help from him in the future. This would only put her in danger.
If he had to choose between his desires and safeguarding her for half a year, he would readily choose the latter.
“You don’t have to finish what you were saying. I understand your position on this,” he remarked, still looking out of the window. “You can choose not to accept my feelings. Likewise, I have the freedom to do what I want to do for you. Who knows one day I might just leave when the time is up? You might not even see me again.”
Natalie’s pupils widened as she heard that. She did not expect the man to say something like that.
Natalie could not help but wonder what he meant when he said he would leave one day. He sounded as if his departure from the world was close.
To her, although he experienced the fire three years ago, it only burned his skin. It did not make sense that he would die because of that. He should be able to live a good long life.
“I’m not interested in meddling with your career,” Samuel said, finally turning back toward her. “I just want you to be safe. I want you to take your well-being seriously. You should prioritize yourself above everything else—including whether Yvette would become disfigured, or whether Dream would be crushed.”
“But—”
Natalie suddenly realized that beneath that cold and emotionless mask, she could still feel a familiar presence.
Her thoughts were a mess. The last person who spoke to her that way was Samuel.
Her brain told her that the man before her had nothing to do with Samuel, but there was a voice in her heart telling her that she just caught a glimpse of the man she loved.
