Chapter 62 I Think It Is Worth It
Natalie lifted her eyes to look at the man beside her who was much taller compared to herself.
With his height of almost one hundred and ninety centimeters, his overly-handsome face like it was specially sculptured, and the extravagant watch on his wrist which was glittering a cold light, Samuel looked stunningly seductive. Everything about him was gorgeous yet not in an exaggerating way.
“Why do you want to eat here with us? Don’t the chefs of the Bowers family cook better than my sweetheart?” asked Natalie, her eyelashes fluttering.
When she was talking, there was an adorable tone in her voice without herself knowing.
“Sweetheart… Is that how you call Xavian?” Samuel asked.
“Yeah, why can’t I?” Natalie glared at Samuel and continued, “He is my son. So what is the problem if I call him ‘Sweetheart?’“
“There’s no problem with it. I think it’s nice,” Samuel said with a smile. There was tenderness in his eyes, and his gentle smile made Natalie’s heart flutter.
He is definitely good-looking…
Samuel already looked amazing when he was wearing a bland expression, not to mention when he smiled. Even a calm and composed woman like Natalie could not help falling for him for a moment.
Placing his palm on Natalie’s head, Samuel caressed her hair in a gentle and loving manner, as if he was petting a puppy or a kitten.
“Hey…” Natalie began. She grabbed his arm with her hands, which were still covered in foam, and went on, “I know your taste is a bit… unique, but don’t waste your time on me. You won’t get anything from me. I am different from all the other women you have met.”
After all, she had children, and she was going for revenge. Other than that, she needed to snatch her grandfather’s properties back and build a business empire under her name. She would never be like Yara, who would do anything just to become Samuel’s wife, as she knew she deserved so much better.
Samuel met Natalie’s eyes, which were as clear as water. He could see the determination and stubbornness that was shimmering in her eyes. They lit up her face and made her look so hopeful and ambitious.
“I will decide whether or not it is a waste of time.” Samuel took her hand and held it tight. A beam of light flashed across his eyes as he said, “As long as I think it’s worth it, then not a second is wasted.”
Natalie had no idea what to say.
She could sense the persistence in Samuel’s tone.
He has lost his mind! I have children, and I have ugly freckles all over my face! Why are these not enough to drive him away? I don’t understand what he’s up to at all!
Just as Natalie and Samuel were in a stalemate, a small figure appeared beside them.
“Mommy, dinner is ready-” Before Xavian could finish his sentence, he quickly covered his eyes with his chubby hands. “Ahem… Mommy, I didn’t see anything! Please continue!”
Continue?
Natalie sighed speechlessly and explained, “Stop saying nonsense, Xavian! It’s not like what you think it is!”
Nonetheless, Xavian had already escaped from the bathroom, so he did not hear Natalie’s explanation.
“You made Xavian misunderstand us!” exclaimed Natalie.
“Oh. I will explain to him later,” answered Samuel nonchalantly as he let go of Natalie’s hand.
He looked so unconcerned as if he was not bothered by the fact that Xavian had misunderstood them. Natalie was not persuaded that he could find a way to explain to Xavian.
They both took their seats in the dining room after they were done washing their hands and began enjoying the meal that Xavian had prepared.
Natalie favored the spicy sauce, while Samuel and Xavian ate the steak without sauce.
At first, Natalie did not notice anything, but as they continued with their meal, she found out that not only did they both prefer eating steak without sauce, but even the side dishes they favored were the same.
She bit her fork and stared at the man and the boy who were sitting side by side.
They were eating at the same slow pace, and even the way they were holding their forks along with the coolness in their eyes looked similar.
At that moment, Natalie had a hunch that Samuel was indeed Xavian’s father.
However, the thought only lasted for a few seconds in her mind before she told herself it was impossible.
Both Xavian and Clayton’s father was the missing criminal, who no one knew where he was.
She had seen the chat history and the messages about the transaction between Yara and the man. Everything that happened that night was recorded clearly in the messages.
“Mommy, why are you staring at him the whole time? Is there anything on his face?” asked Xavian curiously when he saw his mother staring at Samuel’s face.
