The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 530 A Ruse To Gain Sympathy

Despite being mentally prepared, Natalie could not contain her shock after hearing Malcolm’s words.

“Natalie, I’m old and no longer have the drive and energy I used to have when younger…” Malcolm endearingly patted Natalie’s head. “The dead are in the past; what matters at present are those who are still alive. Since you’ve already found your true love and happiness, perhaps keeping yourself safe is of utmost importance to you now.”

“I know…”

“It’s good that you understand.”

Before Malcolm could pull a smile, Natalie’s almond-shaped eyes glinted with stubbornness as she remarked, “Knowing is one thing, but being able to do it is something else. I know you’re doing it for the good of me, but there’s no way I can give up just like this. I must find out the truth about my granddad’s death. He has always been a benevolent and merciful man all his life. I can’t just let him die without reasons.”

At once, Malcolm knew Natalie had a mind of her own. Despite being able to relate to her feelings, he could not bring himself to allow her to risk herself.

He heaved a sigh. “Natalie, remember that we will always be here for you. No matter how difficult or dangerous situations are outside, the members of Mount Surya will always be your pillar of support.”

“Thank you.” Natalie felt her eyes welling up with tears as she said that.
