A Cue For Happiness

Chapter 165 The Choice Is Yours

With her back facing Samuel, Natalie felt her heart pounding hard.

She huffed but immediately got grasped by the waist.

Samuel’s husky tone went on. “Even though I’ll patiently wait for your consent, I can’t make any promises on holding myself back if you keep doing things that tease me.”

“I didn’t do anything!”

“You’d better not, or else you know what’s coming.” Samuel then tightened his arms around her waist and planted a kiss on her hair. “Get some rest, now. Goodnight.”

Natalie closed her eyes, forcing herself to fall asleep in that position.

She thought she would be too flustered to sleep, but surprisingly, she snoozed soundly through the night.

When she woke up the next day, Samuel was already gone.

Rubbing her eyes, she walked out of the room and heard someone making coffee in the kitchen.

“Morning, Sweetheart…” She mumbled as she walked into the kitchen half awake.

Samuel smirked to himself. “Morning.”

Upon hearing his voice, Natalie’s eyes rounded as she hurriedly snapped, “You? I thought Xavian was the one in the kitchen. The ‘Sweetheart’ I’m referring to is him, not you.”

“I didn’t ask.”

Blushing, Natalie knew that she could not outsmart him and that she was already lucky enough as he did not take advantage of her.

“Where are the kids? Why don’t I see any of them?”

Samuel poured the boiling water into the coffee pot, then brewed a cup of black coffee while explaining, “I’ve completed the transfer procedures for Xavian’s new kindergarten, so I got Billy to send all three of them there.”

“What about you?” Natalie glanced at the clock on the wall. Isn’t he supposed to be at work by now?

“Waiting for you.”

“Me?” She did not understand.

“I’ll go to work after I help you change the dressing on your wound.”

The thought of how he had changed her dressing the day before sent a chill down her spine. Thus, she wasted no time refusing. “That’s okay. I’ll do it myself.”
