Chapter 222

Christopher‘s gaze was filled with indifference when he gazed at Jacyntha.

“Jacyntha, since when did you become my fiancée? Why don‘t I know about it?”

Jacyntha was sobbing so much that she could hardly catch her breath. “Of course I am! The Smith

family and the Collins family think that we‘re a perfect match. There has never been any woman by

your side other than me. With all that, can‘t I be considered your fiancée?”

Christopher closed his eyes and emphasized, “Jacyntha, you‘re not. You‘ll never be my wife–be it in the

past, present, or future. I allow you to stay by my side because I treat you as my younger sister. I have

no romantic feelings for you.”

Jacyntha was merely upset at Natalie‘s words.

However, when she heard Christopher‘s words, she felt like a bomb had just exploded in her heart.

“You can‘t treat me like this, Chris!” Ignoring the sales associates staring at her, she burst into tears

and wailed, “I like you so much that I’m dead set on marrying you! Do you think that I‘m evil because I

bullied that woman? Is that why you said all that? I can apologize to her and seek her forgiveness, but

please don‘t say something like that!”

“ Jacyntha, is it possible for you to stop liking me?”

“... I can‘t do it.” Jacyntha‘s tears streamed down her cheeks.

“Similarly...” Christopher continued coldly, “I can‘t make myself fall in love with you. I‘ve already got my

eyes set on someone else, and that person isn‘t you.”

Jacyntha bit her lips. Despite her devastation, she kept clutching Christopher‘s shirt.

However, Christopher pried her fingers away expressionlessly, not even sparing her a single word of

consolation.

Watching as he left ruthlessly, Jacyntha burst into a crying fit.

It‘s all that woman‘s fault!That freckled woman has stolen Christopher‘s heart!Ever since young, my biggest wish is to marry Chris. To me, he‘s my entire world. However, this woman just made me lose everything I have.

Still crying, Jacyntha swore that if she could not secure Christopher for herself, Natalie would not

either.

Since she could not bear to harm Christopher, she would make life a living hell for Natalie.

The wind was exceptionally cold that night.

IS EXC

After being drenched in the rain and splashed by coffee, Natalie wrapped her arms around herself. She

was tired and mentally exhausted.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

When she saw that it was a call from Xavian, she forced herself to become more energetic.

“Hello, Sweetheart!”

“Mommy, I‘m in Mr. Morin‘s car now. Franklin and Sophia are here too!”

“What?” Natalie frowned. Although it was normal for Franklin and Sophia to be fetched back to the

Bowers residence, it was absurd that they had brought Xavian away too.

“Mr. Bowers wants me to live with Franklin and Sophia for a while.” After a slight pause, Xavian

continued carefully, “Also, Mommy, I… I want to live with them for a while too.”

When Natalie heard that, she felt like her heart had just been ripped into pieces. A sad feeling engulfed

her.

Since Clayton was out filming a show, she only had Xavian with her.

Yet, Xavian was gone as well, having been snatched away by Samuel so easily.

was

“Are you unhappy, Mommy?”

“No..” Natalie pursed her lips. “Okay, I understand.”

After ending the call, Natalie bit onto her lips. Tears started welling up in her eyes.

She did not know why, but she suddenly felt very aggrieved.

First, she could not cure Yana without the dragonblood fruit. After that, she was

splashed with coffee for no reason. Then, Xavian moved to the Bowers residence. With all these added

up, she could not contain her emotions any longer.

Once she returned home, she did not turn on the lights.

Instead, she sat onto the ground in the dark.

At that moment, a man walked toward her slowly and stopped.

“Who is it?”

Natalie looked up tearfully.

Click! Samuel appeared before her eyes as the corridor lit up.

He had defined cheekbones, a chiseled jaw, deep–set eyes, and exuded elegance in a chic black

dress shirt.

Natalie quickly picked herself up from the ground as she wasn‘t used to exposing her weakness to

others.

“You!”

the dark

She felt as if she had been stripped bare in front of him.

“Samuel, what are you doing in my house? And why didn‘t you turn the lights on? Is it fun to watch me

cry in the dark like that?”

Natalie didn‘t know why she poured her heart out to Samuel just like that.

Even though life wasn‘t easy in the last five years, she had never made herself vulnerable to anyone

before.

Her mind was in a mess at the moment as she laid her feelings bare for him.

“Samuel, I hate you so much! I don‘t want to see anyone at the moment. Why do you have to be

here?”

F*ck it! I don‘t give a d*mn anymore.

Natalie vented out her anger and frustration at him.

He‘s probably going to want to eat me up alive for being so rude to him.

Just as she thought Samuel was about to slam the door and leave, he suddenly pulled her in for a

warm hug.
