The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Complicated

Natalie stepped out of the changing room after she finished changing.

Once she got out, she immediately saw Samuel and the kids clad in matching outfits a well.

“As I thought, it looks great on you. I expected nothing less from the lady I’ve set my eyes on.” Franklin flashed her a bright smile before continuing in a bossy tone, “Daddy, take a picture of me and Natalie. I want to set it as my wallpaper.”

Hearing that, Sophia wanted a picture with Natalie as well. “Me too…”

Natalie was still furious about the kiss just now, but she really couldn’t resist both Sophia and Franklin’s charms. As such, she would try to fulfill their wishes when asked.

Franklin and Sophia stood beside Natalie, one on the left and the other on the right, and they all struck a pose before the shutter went off.

Samuel rarely took pictures. It did not matter if they were pictures of him or pictures of other people.

A slight smile was seen on his face when the camera lens faced the three of them.

The hyper-realistic mask might have changed and distorted Natalie’s facial structure, but her eyes were still never changing, still so full of warmth, and were as clear as the bright blue skies.

The scene that he saw was so warm that he forgot to shift his gaze, as he just stood there in awe.

Natalie was like an attractive and addictive mystery. He could not pull himself away from her, and he could only move closer.

After the photography session, the four of them then walked towards the field in their matching outfits, looking every bit like a real family.

All the teachers in the kindergarten knew how important Natalie was to Samuel, seeing how Molly was fired just like that. As such, nobody dared tease or insult Natalie over her looks again.

However, there were still some parents that were looking at Natalie with odd expressions.

Natalie just stared back at them without hesitation, causing the ones who looked at her to back away in guilt.

Franklin and Sophia signed up for the relay race, and coincidentally, there were four of them in the team to participate.

Bang! With the signaling sound, Franklin started to run with the baton in hand.

He was the first in the race as he passed the baton to the second runner, Sophia. When Sophia was running, however, she accidentally tripped, and the baton fell out of her hand.

When she picked it up, she realized that she was already the last in her team.

Her eyes were suddenly filled with tears, but she hung on when she remembered that she was still in the race. She then ran as she cried.

After that, when the baton was passed to Natalie, she didn’t run ahead just yet. Instead, she consoled Sophia with a gentle voice.

“Trust me and your daddy, okay?”

Sophia could only nod in reply.

“All right, then stop crying, okay? Watch us as we get that first place trophy for you.”

After saying that, Natalie took the baton and ran as fast as she could towards Samuel. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Her speed was amazing, and in just an instant, she was already in second place. Even Samuel was shocked when he received the baton from her.

This woman runs faster than any normal man.

Natural talents aside, one had to wonder exactly how much effort she put into her own physical training. This was not the body of a person who remained idle.

Samuel was lost in thought for one second, but that did not affect anything. He took the baton from Natalie and made a sprint straight for the finishing line.

He had a masculine and toned physique, like a leopard, and he ran past the first runner in no time.

In the end, no doubt, Samuel was the one who ran to the goal first.

“We won!” Natalie smiled while she engulfed Sophia’s squishy face in her hands before continuing, “See, I told you, your daddy and I can make it!”

Hearing that, Sophia’s face lit up as she smiled. She really loved Natalie.

After the race, Samuel walked toward where Natalie stood. His face was quite flushed since he ran, which was quite a rare sight.

Natalie could then feel his hot breath breathing near her neck as he got closer, speeding up her already pacing heartbeat.

Things will get out of control if this continues.

She bit her lip slightly and tried to change her stance, but her actions were stopped when Samuel grabbed her wrist.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m not going anywhere.”

Yeah. I just want to go somewhere where you’re not.

“You have nothing to say to me?”

“Nothing at all.”

“Well, but I do.”

“Huh? What do you want to say?” Natalie widened her eyes and looked at him.

“I feel like I’ve understood you more today.” Samuel’s lips curved into a smile. “You did great today, and I’m very proud.”
