The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1182

In the middle of the hall, Bastien glanced at Natalie from the corner of his eye, only to catch her gazing at a certain someone under the stage with eyes filled with adoration.

After following her gaze, he realized the person she was staring at was none other than Samuel.

“Be mindful of where you're at now.” The muscles on Bastien's face were taut as he warned her in a low voice, “Control your gaze.”

When Natalie tilted her head slowly, the beads on her tiara collided with one another, emitting a crisp and pleasant jingle.

If you think I'm not obedient enough, you shouldn't have brought him over here in the first place. It's your business that you want to destroy me and satisfy the desire of crushing your love rival, but it's my freedom to look at whoever I want!”

“You—” Bastien was once again provoked by Natalie's words. “Do not forget your current identity!”

“What will you do to me if I choose to forget about it?” Natalie pursed her red lips. The arrogance in her bones made it impossible for her to give in to him.
