Chapter 70

Not sure how to react, Natalie‘s eyes widened.

She could feel her temperature rising when Samuel‘s tongue touched her fingertips. Her mouth turned

dry, and it was as if a tiny flow of electric current streaked across her veins.

What exactly is Samuel trying to do?

Confused and upset, Natalie glared angrily at the man before her.

Samuel, on the other hand, glanced back at her silently.

His demeanor was cold and indifferent.

It was as if what he had just done to her was nothing more than an accident.

Natalie bit her lip. Am I overthinking things?

Samuel stared directly at Natalie as he said, “It‘s delicious.”

It was difficult to decipher the meaning of his words. She could not tell if he was referring to the fry or

her.

“Well, if you like it so much, you can have more.” Natalie pushed the box of fries toward Samuel and

avoided his gaze. At the same time, she told herself to stop imagining things.

The way she was avoiding Samuel made her look like an angry kitten to him. She was so feisty and

adorable.

If Sophia and Franklin were not there, he would be all over her just to see the panic in her eyes.

Too bad.

Nevertheless, Samuel‘s lips still curled up to form a smile.

After dinner, Natalie thought Samuel would take Franklin and Sophia home. However, the three of them

continued sticking around with no intention of leaving.

Sophia and Franklin were still kids, so it was understandable if they were immature.

However, Samuel was already a grown man who was in his thirties. He should know that it was time for

them to leave.

Nataliè clenched her fist and cleared her throat, hinting at Samuel that he should leave.

The man lifted his eyes and glanced at her with a smirk. Then, he ignored her completely.

After a few moments of silence, Samuel still did not respond. Annoyed, Natalie went into the kitchen to

pour herself a glass of ice water to cool down.

I‘ve already told him to stay away from me. Does he not understand? Or is he still trying to test me for Yara‘s sake?

Samuel stepped into the kitchen when Natalie was about to pour herself another glass of water.

“You know that I don‘t want to see you. Why are you here?”

“I‘m here to prove to you that I‘m not as annoying as you think. You should give me a chance to do so,

don‘t you think?” Samuel folded his sleeves to reveal his muscular forearms.

Natalie began to waver as she stared at Samuel‘s deep eyes.

He was so firm and determined that she had no idea how to handle him.

Anxious, she finished the whole glass of water, wiped her lips, and fled from the kitchen.

Franklin and Sophia, who were unaware of what was going on in the kitchen, were still thinking of ways

to invite Natalie to the parents‘ visit day at the kindergarten tomorrow.

They were not expecting Samuel to be there.

On one hand, it was annoying because whenever Samuel went to their kindergarten, the teachers

would always surround him with smiles on their faces.

On the other hand, the two of them really hoped Natalie could go.

They wanted to show Natalie around. More importantly, they longed to have a mother by their side just

like the other kids.

Natalie‘s mind was still in a complete mess when Franklin and Sophia handed the invitation to her with

nervous expressions.

“Do you think you can attend?” Franklin asked carefully.

That was the first time Natalie saw them act nervous. She looked down at the invitation.

An invitation for a parents‘ visit day? I thought it was something really serious when I saw the look on their faces!

Natalie reckoned that Samuel might have been too busy with work, so he did not have the time to

attend. That was why the kids hoped she could go on his behalf.

It was not a hard decision to make.

She smiled and said, “Sure. I’ll go.”

Samuel drove Franklin and Sophia home when night fell.

Franklin cupped his chubby cheeks in his hands and said in excitement, “Do you think I should wear

white tomorrow? Do you think Natalie will like it?”

Sophia shook her head.

“What about the blue tracksuit?”

Sophia shook her head again.

“The beige t–shirt?”

Sophia finally nodded.

The two siblings discussed happily.

Samuel lifted the corners of his lips as he listened on. This is going well. They‘re

sometimes naughty, but recently, they‘ve been really good at pleasing me.

The next day, when Natalie went downstairs clad in a black dress, she saw a man in a black shirt

standing in front of a Hummer. The two children were right by his side.

Samuel?!
