A Cue For Happiness

Chapter 183 Shameless

By the time Natalie emerged from Samuel’s study, her lips had become a mess after Samuel was done with her. She couldn’t help but gently nurse her lips with her nimble fingers.

What on earth does his business trip have to do with me? Did he really have to use this method of punishing me just because I didn’t respond or perform as expected?

Just as Natalie was cursing and swearing at Samuel internally, she bumped into Celia in the corridor. Neither woman took the initiative to speak or greet one another. However, Celia’s sharp eyes remained fixed on Natalie’s lips, which had gone swollen from Samuel’s forceful kissing. Although Celia’s gaze was still haughty beyond measure as per before, it wasn’t provocative in any way. She completely ignored Natalie and brushed past her as if she weren’t there.

Natalie wasn’t surprised by Celia’s behavior. She knew that Celia was the next-generation scion of the Jean family. Aside from her incredible talent in the field of medicine, Celia also possessed a high IQ and emotional intelligence. Over the past few days, Natalie was sure that Celia must have observed the interactions between Samuel and herself and surmised the nature of their relationship. As it was obvious that Samuel was the one who was relentlessly chasing after Natalie, there were no grounds whatsoever for Celia to be jealous of her. Naturally, her provocative behavior would then also come to an end.

Natalie had zero interest in such petty squabbles between women. She was only focused on her life with the three children moving forward. The emotional scars she previously suffered from the loss of her twins had always been a heart wrenching pain she endured. However, Natalie felt that her pain alleviated to some degree now that she had Franklin and Sophia by her side.

The next day, just before Samuel was about to leave for his business trip, he pulled Franklin and Sophia to the side and instructed, “Make sure to be obedient and listen to Natalie while I’m gone. If she tells me that either of you has been naughty, I won’t let you go over to her house anymore next time.”
