Chapter 279 Just Acquaintances
Natalie stared at Thomas and Yvonne in a daze.
Her gaze was filled with disappointment. When Samuel called out to her, she did not even hear him.
“Why are your hands so cold, Nat?”
Samuel covered her hand with his large hands. However, he realized that not only was she clenching her
fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white, but her hands were also freezing to the touch.
Natalie bit her tips tightly, unable to utter a single word.
Not far away, Thomas and Yvonne glanced in their direction and spotted Samuel immediately.
He was wearing a black windbreaker. With his tall frame and physique, he was like a model. Even if one
did not look at his face, he would be in the spotlight wherever he went.
Furthermore, his face was so handsome that it was obvious he was not an average man.
When Yvonne and Thomas saw Samuel, they waved at him excitedly, as if they had just seen their future
son-in-law.
“What a coincidence to bump into you here, Samuel!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThomas had a very stern appearance. However, from the moment he saw Samuel, he could not stop
grinning. Yvonne reacted in the same way too. Like a mother-in-law gazing at her son-in-law, her
affection for Samuel increased the more she looked at him.
Natalie’s face became pale.
She lowered her head and glanced at Samuel’s hand, which was holding her hand tightly.
“Let go of me.”
“Nat.”
“I said, let go of me.” A cold glint flashed across Natalie’s eyes.
As Samuel did not want to force her, he let go of her hand.
However, a second after he released Natalie’s hand, she turned around coldly and left.
Staring at his empty palm, Samuel narrowed his eyes grimly.
He strode behind Natalie without wasting a second.
When Yvonne and Thomas saw the charming Samuel chasing after an average-looking girl, they were
struck dumb.
“Hubby, what’s going on?”
“Nonsense!” Thomas retorted coldly, “How would I know?”
Without turning back to look, Natalie kept lowering her head and running forward.
Indeed!
Since I’m wearing a hyper-realistic mask, I can force myself to act like a stranger who doesn’t know
Thomas and Yvonne at all. However, why must I force myself to suppress my hatred for them? Isn’t this
torturing myself?
There isn’t enough tension for me to confront them directly yet. I do not need to put up an act with them
in the airport’s VIP passageway.
Also… I’ve finally seen Samuel’s true colors. That jerk!
Seeing how nice Thomas and Yvonne treat him, they’ve definitely taken him as their son-in-law.
Considering Samuel’s capabilities, they wouldn’t have dared to act on their own wishful thinking and
assume that they’re his parents-in-law—unless he was not against it from the start.
At that moment, Natalie suddenly realized how foolish she was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy was I dumb enough to trust Samuel? I owe him a favor because he saved me. However, I can
repay his favor through other means. There’s no need to sacrifice myself.
Still, it’s not too late. It’s a good thing that I’ve seen his true colors.
When Natalie ran out of the airport, someone grabbed her wrist forcefully.
“Who’s that?”
When Natalie turned her head around, she unexpectedly saw Samuel standing there with a cold glint in
his eyes.
Her chest heaved while she tried to catch her breath from the run. However, Samuel stared at her calmly,
showing no signs of exhaustion. It seemed like he had been following her all along.
“What did you see? Why did you suddenly run away?”
“I saw a ghost.” Although Natalie’s heart was aching, her gaze was filled with indifference. “Also, sir, can
you please let go of me?”
Her sudden politeness caused Samuel to frown.
“Why are you calling me ‘sir’?”
“We are just acquaintances, Mr. Bowers.” Natalie lifted her head and continued icily, “As the head of the
Bowers family, you are a very powerful man. I’m addressing you politely as a sign of respect for your
dignified status, sir.”
