The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1118

Jerome took a deep breath before uttering with difficulty, “I'm sorry. I promised to protect you, but I watched you get hurt at the dock. I let you become the bait.”

He truly hated himself.

At that moment, he felt he was no different from a coward no matter how great his reputation was.

Natalie looked down and smiled. “It's not your fault. Besides, this is probably the best outcome we can ask for. It's just a minor injury anyway. Now, Yumi is safe, and you have captured Zophie. Besides, no explosion happened at the dock.”

Jerome stressed, “Natalie, it's not a minor injury!”

A subtle smile remained on Natalie's lips. “Silly, it's a minor one if I can talk to you like this, so don't apologize to me anymore. You don't owe me anything. Besides, you knew how much I hate being in Bastien's presence, so you risked everything to bring me back to the Sutton residence. Apologize one more time and I'm going to lose my temper.”

“All right.”

Jerome knew Natalie had said that to make him feel better.

However, it only made him more determined to be loyal to her.
