The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1145

To Natalie, the secret was like Pandora's box.

The box was so attractive that she could not help but be tempted to open it so that she could see what was inside. Yet, at the same time, a voice in her mind told her that many things would become far more complicated once that box was opened.

As Natalie's heart raced, she looked at Samuel and smile bitterly. “Samuel, I seem... particularly indecisive, aren't I?”

Before Samuel could say anything to that, Natalie continued, “To be honest, I should just stay away from it if I'm truly scared. But at the same time, I want to know the truth. I'm stuck in the middle of two choices, and it feels horrible. I'm afraid of knowing, and I'm afraid of not knowing. I feel like a headless chicken running around and around in circles...”

The frustration Natalie felt was audible in her voice.

She had always been a decisive woman, and yet, she kept wondering if she should proceed to learn the truth about her birth circumstances.

When she heard nothing from Samuel and realized that the man was only staring at her, she blurted out, “Am I pointlessly wishy-washy? Then, you—”

“I'm just feeling happy to learn that you've changed,” Samuel told her as he cupped her face and lifted her chin. “You used to take on everything by yourself regardless of whether the matter is good or bad. Now, you're telling me the thoughts you have in your mind, and you're letting me share your sorrows and joys.”

The moment those words left Samuel's lips, Natalie's heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, ever since she had been set up by Yara and nearly died, she had become used to enduring everything in silence alone.
