The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 921

“Mmm...”

Feeling intoxicated, Natalie drifted in and out of consciousness.

Samuel, with his arms wrapped around Natalie, felt as if he was holding his entire world within his arms.

However, thinking about the message sent to him by his son ignited a whiff of jealousy within him.

Even though he was the one who hurt and left her, his possessiveness over her didn't diminish one bit, especially when it came to the way Natalie and Jerome interacted. The tacit understanding they shared with each other seemed to be seared into their soul.

Holding that thought, Samuel felt as if something had pierced his heart, eliciting a painful yet bitter sensation.

“Jerome... Who is he to you...” Samuel's voice was so deep that one could hear the hoarseness coming from the bottom of his throat.

“What?”

Upon hearing Jerome's voice being mentioned, Natalie peeked out underneath her eyelids.

“Why are you... asking about Jerome?”

The familiar manner in which she brought up his name brought a sullen look upon Samuel's face.

“Who is he? How much does that man mean to you?” Samuel's voice was low as he continued. By the time he finished, his teeth were tightly clenched.

Natalie snorted in laughter. “Jerome's like a brother to me. The kind where we're joined at the hip. Since I don't have a younger brother, I treat him as such. Whoever dares to bully him would feel my wrath! However, he's now all grown up and has even become a major general. Hence, h-he no longer... needs my protection... anymore.”
