The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1170

“That's not possible!”

Natalie seemed to be replying to Bastien, but it felt like she was trying to convince herself instead.

Being held captive by him with such a method rendered her tantamount to being his puppet. The only way she could threaten him was to go on a hunger strike, which was foolish beyond words. Unlike her, he had plenty of ways to force her to comply with his wishes.

She had been waiting for Samuel to save her as he was the only one she could trust.

Seeing that Natalie refused to believe the truth, Bastien moved his hand downward and forcefully gripped her chin.

“Natalie, why won't you forget about Samuel? How am I inferior to him? I'm willing to give you everything—my heart and the noblest status in the country!” he questioned.

Tears welled up in Natalie's eyes as she stared at him with reddened eyes.

“But... I don't love you...” she said.

Natalie did not need Bastien to treat her well.

It did not matter to her whether or not he treated her well. All she knew was that she never harbored romantic feelings toward Bastien, unlike the deep love she had for Samuel.
