Chapter 210

“Yes, I said that before.” Samuel‘s gaze swept past Natalie‘s face. “I only did it because I thought you

wanted it.”

She bit her lip even harder.

If it weren‘t for Billy‘s sudden arrival, she would‘ve thought she really wanted it.

After all, the lack of her usual refusal came across to him as her silent approval.

The thought of being intimate with any men never occurred to Natalie. Yet, at that moment, she was

like a fly that had landed on Samuel‘s spider web.

The more she wanted to escape, the lighter his web became, and the harder it was for her to run

away.

Only after Natalie calmed down did Samuel let Billy return to the car to drive.

Sitting in the driver‘s seat, Billy‘s face was pale and flushed at the same time. He didn‘t even dare to

look in the rearview mirror as he forced himself to focus on the road.

After a long while, they arrived in front of a building:

“We‘ve arrived,” Samuel declared.

“Here? Why have you brought me here?” Natalie glanced perplexedly at a building that had obviously

been built nearly a century ago.

“Are you sure you want to wear this home?” His eyes brushed past her disheveled appearance, which

was something he was responsible for. “Have you thought about how to answer the children‘s

questions?“.

She glanced at her clothing and calmed down.He‘s right! How should I answer the kids when they asked about the state of my clothing, my swollen lips or the hickeys on my neck?

After some consideration, Natalie pushed the door open and stepped out of the car.

An old woman exited the building when she heard the sound of a car. “Is that you, Mr. Samuel?”

Her eyes were wide open, but they were cloudy. She had to rely on her shivering

hands to feel her way around.

Natalie was afraid that the old woman would fall, so she stepped forward and held her arm. “Be

careful.”

Ida Heath furrowed her eyebrows when she touched Natalie‘s hand. “Your voice is unfamiliar to me.

Who are you? Why have you come here?”

“Ms. Heath, it‘s me, Samuel.” Samuel arrived at the old woman‘s side. “Her name is Natalie Nichols.

Na–ta–lie. I brought her here.”

“Na–ta–lie... That‘s a good name!” Ida mumbled as she smiled. “Since Mr. Samuel brought you here, I

need to welcome you properly. I‘ll go and brew a cup of coffee now. Wait for me.” She turned around

excitedly and headed back the way she came.

Natalie wasn‘t willing to let a feeble, near–blind old woman do things for her, so she followed closely

behind Ida into the building. “Be careful, Ms. Heath.”

“No need to worry about me, Ms. Natalie! Even though my eyes are failing me, I‘m as healthy as an

ox!”

“Please let me help you, Ms. Heath.”

“Okay, all right.”

Samuel‘s lips curved upward as he saw Natalie followed anxiously behind Ida in her scarlet dress. That woman. Even though she‘s capable, she‘s not proud at all. While she shields herself from the rest of the world, she still treats the ones around her with kindness. The more I observe her actions, the more I fall in love with her...

When he turned back, Billy looked as if he wanted to dig himself a hole.

“Billy, how long have you been working for me?” he asked callously.

“Eleven years, sir.”

“There won‘t be a next time. I‘m canceling your end–of–the–year bonus and all paid leaves.”

Billy felt as if his world had crumbled. “Mr. Bowers–“.

“If it weren‘t for your eleven years of service, I would‘ve sent you to another continent immediately.”

Samuel glared and pointed at him coldly.
