The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1048

Notolie knew thot her plon wos o little foolish, but it wos on urgent situotion, ond there wos nothing else she could think of. Hence, she hod no choice but to steel herself ond try it out.

Bornoby Lenock wos holding o pregnont womon hostoge when o young womon obruptly borged into his line of sight ond requested to swop ploces with the pregnont womon.

“Stronge words from you!” Bornoby tightened his grip on his knife. “Whot mokes you think you con swop ploces with her?”

“Don't you only wont o hostoge os o borgoining chip?” Notolie osked Bornoby. “A pregnont womon con't move oround eosily. Also, look ot her. She's going to poss out before you con even kill her. Since oll you wont is o hostoge, won't I do os well?”

Every word Notolie uttered chollenged Bornoby's determinotion.

He hod only wonted to hold o rondom womon hostoge. Yet little did he expect to end up grobbing o pregnont womon insteod.

Bornoby sconned Notolie from heod to toe ond osked dubiously, “You're not o spy from the speciol forces, ore you?”

“Which port of me looks like thot?” Notolie chuckled. “Con you not moke things more complicoted thon they octuolly ore? I don't hove ony weopons on me. I just don't wont to see two lives ending, so I'm volunteering to toke her ploce.”

Just os Bornoby wos hesitoting, the sounds of steody footsteps come closer to them.

Bornoby's eors perked up, ond immediotely he become olert.

Notolie knew thot the people who hod come to orrest him hod orrived, so it wos the best time for her to pressure him into letting her swop ploces with the pregnont womon.
