Chapter 118 Taking Charge

Steven said nonchalantly, “As usual, giving people the cold shoulder…”

Although Kenneth remained silent, his dissatisfaction toward Natalie grew stronger.

Even though Samuel did not marry Yara, Kenneth had long considered her his granddaughter-in-law.

Yet, his great-grandchildren grew closer to an outsider instead of their biological mother.

In fact, they were so close to Natalie that they got mad at him and even went on a hunger strike after he

criticized Natalie.

It seemed like he had to make a trip to meet her in person.

Meanwhile, Natalie woke up in a daze in the hospital.

“Thirsty… Water…” She propped her body up, barely opening her eyes as she felt for a cup on the

bedside table.

After feeling around for a while, she did not find what she was looking for. Instead, she felt a bottle

against her lips and a hand supporting the back of her head.

She instinctively parted her lips and held onto the bottle with both hands, gulping the water down.

She looked just like an adorable baby drinking milk.

Samuel smiled as he quietly watched her drink.

After Natalie emptied the bottle of water, she passed it to the man beside her with a satisfied smile.

Just then, she realized that something was amiss. She was still in the hospital, and Xavian was not with

her.

Her eyes shot open, and she finally noticed that the person who had fed her water was Samuel.

Natalie furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be at work at this

hour?”

“I took the day off.” Since Samuel did not have tissue with him, he used his finger to wipe the stray

droplets of water from her lips. “I will be staying with you in the hospital for the next few days as well.”

“Huh?” Natalie widened her eyes, unable to believe her ears.

“You heard me right,” Samuel reassured as he turned to look at her.

His tone was domineering and arrogant.

“My arm injury is nothing serious…” Natalie pondered for a moment and decided there was no need for

him to stay with her. “You don’t have to take care of me personally.”

“You got hurt because of Sophia. As her father, I have to do everything I can to repay your kindness.”

“That’s not necessary.”

Natalie regained her composure as she did not want to indulge herself in his warmth.

“Samuel, I’ve already accepted the ten million.” Her eyes flickered as she continued, “As you’ve

mentioned, meeting me may not be a breach of the contract, but I hope that we can still respect the

contract terms and keep a distance from each other.”

Samuel threw the empty bottle on the ground and leaped onto the bed, pinning her beneath him.

“Keep a distance?” he asked as he stared at her intently. “You mean a distance like this?”

Natalie’s heart skipped a beat as she felt him inching closer.

“Don’t play dumb with me, Samuel. You know what I mean!”

“Then I shall give you a proper answer.” His tone was possessive. “In your dreams, Natalie.”

“You-”

Before she could say anything, Samuel leaned in and nipped on her lips.

He bit on her lower lip just enough to make her feel aroused yet a bit uncomfortable.

She could feel his fingers lifting the bottom of her hospital gown and his coarse fingertips tracing her

thighs.

In the past, the most Samuel would do was kiss her. However, it seemed like a mere kiss could no longer

satisfy him this time.

“Samuel… I-I’m injured…”

“Weren’t you the one who said that your injury is nothing serious?” Samuel asked with his deep and

alluring voice. “Just let the man take the lead in things like this.”
