The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 40

Yohan choked on his drink when he heard his name. “Excuse me, Steven Bowers. I’m ten times more handsome than you are.”

Steven was blissfully unaware of the tension in the air thickening and continued, “This is witchcraft! Is that woman a witch?”

A glass of wine hit the table with a large force, its contents accidentally spilling out due to the sudden movement.

Steven and Yohan were startled at the sound. When they came back to their senses, they noticed that Samuel’s expression had turned serious.

Yohan glanced at Steven and widened his eyes, a sign of asking, “What’s going on?”

Steven was also in a state of confusion. He had no idea that he had accidentally offended his brother with his words.

Samuel got up and headed toward the door.

Steven blurted out, “Where are you going, Sam?”

“Going to see if that man is really as handsome as you say he is,” Samuel said faintly as his long, slender fingers rolled up his long sleeves, showing off his muscular arms. He looked like a soldier who was ready to engage in combat.

The door slammed shut. All who were left in the room were Steven and Yohan, who both had equally dumbstruck looks on their faces.
