Chapter 1037 Clarification
Natalie did not dwell upon the matter as deeply as Samuel did.
The latter then put down his teacup and continued, “If Heidi’s a smart woman, she’ll refrain from telling Geert
about it. First of all, it’s a humiliating matter for her. Secondly, she isn’t sure if Geert will choose her over the riches
the Leitz family will get.”
“I see,” Natalie muttered. “So you’ve already thought about all of these before making your move.”
Natalie then turned to stare at Samuel in a daze.
It seemed like she had started forgetting about how Samuel was a merciless man ever since she got together with
him.
By confronting Samuel, Heidi, with the kind of status she had, was digging her own grave.

Samuel raised his hand to lovingly pinch her cheek before smiling. “You and I will never be enemies, so there’s
nothing for you to worry about. On the other hand, maybe you’d like to be concerned for your bullies instead.”
Natalie nodded. She then grabbed his hand and gravely said, “Samuel, I’m looking forward to being in your
protection for the rest of my life.”
At that, Samuel froze, and the smile on his face turned a little bitter.
However, that was a promise he had made to her, so he had no excuse to hide from her or back down.
“Nat, I won’t break the promise I’ve made to you,” Samuel said to her. “I will do my best to stay by your side.”
What Natalie wanted was Samuel’s will to live. When she saw the determined look in his eyes, she smiled.
“Okay.”
Natalie and Samuel were drinking tea when Emma walked in.
“Ms. Nichols, Mr. Bowers, we have a guest,” Emma said, but her eyes were mostly fixed on Samuel to watch his
expression.
“Who is it?”
“It’s Mr. Sutton,” Emma replied honestly.
“I’m here, so let him in,” Natalie said to Emma without hesitation.
“Okay.”
Samuel already knew about Jerome a long time ago.
He would never like Jerome, but he would also not stop Natalie from interacting with Jerome because of his
possessiveness.
After all, Samuel was different from Amos and Christopher. He knew that Jerome was a part of Natalie’s past.
Perhaps Jerome did not see Natalie as just a friend, but Natalie truly thought of him as one.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThus, Samuel calmly turned to Natalie and asked, “Do you need me to give you some space?”
“It’s fine.” Natalie shook her head. “There’s nothing I feel for him, so there’s no need for me to keep things
secretive. Moreover, I’d like to introduce you to him.”
Samuel knew that Natalie had already made up her mind, so he did not say anything else.
Jerome slowly walked in as Emma guided him in.
Natalie felt Jerome seemed to have lost even more weight than the last time she saw him. Furthermore, he looked
more haggard and weary.
“Jerome,” Natalie softly called out.
Jerome’s gaze flitted between Natalie and Samuel before he barked out a self-deprecating chuckle. “The two of
you… are really staying together.”
Natalie was upset to hear that, but there were some things she had to clarify with Jerome. If she dragged it on, she
would only be hurting Samuel and Jerome even more.
“Listen to me, Jerome,” Natalie started solemnly. “You and I thought that the man who fled six years ago was
Marcus, but the truth is… he wasn’t Marcus. He was Samuel.”
