The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 41

Samuel’s calm breath started to turn heavy, and he withdrew his arm. Then, he turned to leave.

Looking at his back, Natalie was baffled by his weird attitude.

Didn’t he want to punch me in the face? Why hasn’t he said anything and just walked away?

She racked her brain for a long time but still could not figure it out. What did I do to anger him again?

“There’s no need for that.” Natalie then took a gulp of her drink and smiled wryly. “You won’t find him in there.
