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.

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.
