Chapter 1042

The following morning, Jesper placed Samuel's luggage in the trunk of the car.

Malcolm caressed his beard and shook his head. “I won't be staying to watch your... What do you call that?”

He couldn't recall the term, so Luna reminded him, “Public display of affection, PDA.”

“Yes, that's right! PDA!” Malcolm slapped his head and burst into laughter. “Oh, young people are creative. How did

you come up with that term? Come on, Luna. Let's get into the car. We don't want to watch their PDA!”

Luna flashed a smile and nodded readily. She bade goodbye to Natalie before helping Malcolm into the car.

Samuel was about to depart.

Besides Natalie, the children came to send him off as well.

The boys were more mature. They were reluctant to part with him but managed to stay calm.

On the other hand, Sophia and Yumi, their hair all braided up, flung their arms around Samuel's legs and wailed

sadly.

“Daddy, can you stay?”

“Yeah! Daddy, can you stay with us?”

Samuel gazed at the adorable girls, his face devoid of expression, but deep down, he felt conflicted.

He couldn't bear to part with Natalie and his adorable daughters, and his strong and determined front was crushed

into pieces as they sobbed before him.

Natalie glanced at Samuel and shook her head, feeling both helpless and amused.

Samuel is known for being ruthless in the corporate world. No one knows he is rendered helpless before his

daughters.

Natalie crouched down and pried Sophia and Yumi away from Samuel's legs. “Daddy has to leave to get something

important done.”

“Can't he ask someone else to do it?” Sophia asked tearfully.

“No. It's important, so he has to do it personally. I believe he'll come back home as soon as he is done,” Natalie

replied patiently.

Sophia sniffled. “So you're not getting a divorce?”

Natalie didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her question.

“Of course not! I want Daddy to come back to us as soon as possible, too!”

“Oh...”

Her comforting words successfully calmed Sophia and Yumi down. Slowly, they stopped crying.

As the kids were around, Natalie didn't feel that upset anymore.

She got to her feet and gazed at Samuel lovingly. “Samuel, the children and I will wait for your safe return.”

“Of course,” came Samuel's curt answer.

Before leaving, Samuel wanted to give Natalie a proper kiss. But as the kids were staring at them, he only gave her

a light peck on her forehead.

Noticing the displeasure in his gaze, Natalie stood on her tiptoes and pulled him down to whisper in his ear, “I'll

make it up to you when you come back.”

Samuel's Adam's apple bobbed as a doting smile spread across his lips.

“Okay. Wait for me.”

He then bade goodbye to the kids.

“Daddy, come back soon!”

“Daddy, we'll be waiting for you!”

“Daddy, we'll listen to Mommy! We'll be good!”

“Daddy...”

The kids waved at him eagerly.

Jesper started the engine and drove away.

The girls had already cried their hearts out a while ago. Right now, it was the boys' turn to feel downcast as tears

threatened to spill from their eyes.

Natalie patted their heads as her lips curved into a grin. “What are you all doing? Your daddy has left. Let's go

home.”

The kids nodded obediently and trotted into the house after Emma.

Natalie glanced at Billy, who was standing beside her. “Why didn't you leave with Samuel?”

“Mrs. Bowers, Mr. Bowers was worried about your safety, as you will be alone. He told me to stay behind and

protect you,” Billy said with a straight face.

Knowing it was Samuel's way of showing his love, Natalie didn't reject his gesture.

“Thank you, Billy.”

“Mrs. Bowers, I'm just doing my job,” came Billy's reply. “Even if I have to risk my life, I must keep you safe when

Mr. Bowers gets treated.”
