The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Could Not Help It

Samuel could smell a waft of medicine when he got close to her.

He had seen his fair share of women, but none like her. It was as if he was addicted to her.

Even with a face like hers, he still thought that she was beautiful, and the fonder he grew of her.

“What a load of crap.” Natalie huffed and started degrading herself out of frustration. “You really think I’m pretty? Look at me.”

“You’re pretty.”

Natalie just put her hands on his chest and started to push him away. “Yeah, right…”

However, in the next second, Samuel quickly and forcefully planted a kiss on her lips.

Natalie was dumbstruck and tried to retreat, but her back was then planted against the cold wall.

She had nowhere to retreat now.

Their lips collided, and the atmosphere was starting to get pretty steamy. Natalie was trying her best to breathe through all this.

After a while, Samuel finally removed his lips from her, but what awaited him was a slap on the face as Natalie swung her hand.

Slap! A clear slapping sound was heard, which made Natalie stunned.

Knowing Samuel’s skills, he could easily stop Natalie’s hand or even avoid it if he wanted to, but he didn’t.

With heavy breathing and slightly plumped lips, Natalie said frustratingly, “Samuel, this is the kindergarten! How shameless of you!”

“I just can’t control myself.” Samuel slightly lifted his gaze as it deepened further while speaking in a husky voice, “I never thought you could be this addictive. You’re far more attractive compared to any women I’ve met.”

Why does this sound like bullshit?

However, when she saw the passionate emotions in his eyes, she realized that he was speaking the truth.

Natalie wore the hyper-realistic mask to conceal her identity, so she got used to people hating on her, showing their disgust just because of the mask she was wearing. Samuel, however, never once thought of her as ugly.

Natalie could then feel her heart trembling. She also felt a certain type of warmth, and that soothing feeling felt reassuring. It was the first time she ever felt that way.

She truly yearned for warmth like this, but she was afraid to be indulgent. Natalie felt like Icarus, flying too close to the sun. She knew that her feelings would be the end of her.

She was hesitant as she struggled.

Natalie didn’t know how to face Samuel, so she could only panic as she turned and left in a hurry.

It took a long time for her to finally calm herself before walking back to the kindergarten to look for Sophia and Franklin.

When she passed by the teacher’s room, she saw Molly carrying a box in her hand as she walked out of the room.

It looked like Molly was being pressured to leave her post by Samuel.

Molly’s eyes were already red from crying too much, so seeing Natalie now only further increased her rage as she gritted her teeth. “Why! Why did Samuel prioritize you instead of me?”

Hearing that, Natalie suddenly thought of the kiss that Samuel planted on her and started to mumble, “Yeah, why? Is he blind?”

“You-” Molly stomped her feet and continued, “Don’t be too full of yourself! Both Sophia and Franklin’s mother must have been top-notch beauties, so there’s no way you’ll get a chance with Samuel, as well!”

“You think too much. I never thought of anything like that.”

“You-!”

“Don’t be a teacher if you plan to hook up with someone so shamelessly. Instead of lashing out at me, you should take a long, hard look at yourself. I think the world is somewhat fair, so efforts will be given their due recompense. Ask yourself this. What have you done for Samuel? So what if you like him?”

Molly was oozing with jealousy just now, but hearing that stunned her.

She then looked at Natalie’s eyes and noticed that her eyes were beautiful as they instantly captivated her, whereas Natalie ignored her and walked in the direction of the classroom.

The previous class had ended. What came next was the family sports activities.

Both Sophia and Franklin went to the changing room excitedly to change into their sportswear, and even Samuel and Natalie had to change as well.

Natalie furrowed her brows and looked at Samuel as he passed her a white tracksuit. “I have to change too?”

“Sophia and Franklin never had the chance to attend these activities with their mother, and I don’t want to see them sad. Do you?” Samuel’s gaze darkened as he said that.

Samuel really knew what her weak spots were.

That was right. She couldn’t bear to see them sad.

She was very fond of both Sophia and Franklin, and she didn’t have an inkling why.

She didn’t even need to care for them so much since they were not related to her in any way, but her heart always melted when someone brought them up.

Natalie then pursed her lips and went to the changing room to get dressed.

Samuel just looked at her retreating figure with a devious look flashing across his eyes. The corners of his lips raised, forming a smirk.

Natalie could reject him all she wanted, but he knew she could never reject him for the sake of Sophia and Franklin.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
