The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1024

“This one month has allowed me to completely understand what it feels like to be separated from your loved one.” Samuel's eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly added, “Many words that I previously found to be cheesy seem to be so much easier to convey now...”

He did not utter those words half-heartedly but with unprecedented sincerity.

Contrary to him, Natalie was merely joking. However, she did not expect to receive such a serious response from him, so she could not help but feel a little surprised.

Not wanting to continue listening to his sweet nothings, she picked up some food and said, “Enough of that. Let's eat while it's hot.”

“Okay.”

Natalie preferred spicy food while Samuel's taste was milder.

However, as Emma was taking care of Natalie before Samuel came along, the food Emma prepared had all the heavy flavors that Natalie preferred.

Emma had prepared pickled fish that day. No one knew what kind of spices she used, but even Natalie, who enjoyed spicy food, could not help but take a few more bites.

However, after Samuel had some of it, his visage was still pretty much bereft of emotion.
