Chapter 108 I Am Your Man
Moments passed before Samuel pinched her chin and said, “Do you want me to stay?”
“Huh?” Natalie was stunned. Then she glanced at Yara, who was still standing by the door before muttering, “But there’s someone waiting for you-”
“Do you want me to stay?” Samuel repeated. He stared at Natalie like a predator stalking at its prey with a domineering aura and possessiveness.
Both of them maintained an affectionate position as he lay on top of her in the relatively small hospital bed.
At the same time, Yara was burning with so much rage that her body trembled.
I don’t get it. I’m a hundred, maybe even a thousand times prettier than Natalie. Whatever she’s doing with Samuel, I can do better. So why is he obsessed with her?
“Samuel…” Yara’s eyes reddened with frustration. “Natalie is injured. I think she needs some space to recuperate. Maybe we should leave-”
Right then, Natalie interrupted by answering Samuel’s question loudly, “Yes.”
Samuel’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the devious woman beneath him. Then, his lips curled into a smirk.
He knew that Natalie was competing with Yara, and she was using him as a tool for their fight.
However, he was not bothered by it at all.
Natalie’s sweet answer had captivated him.
“Since you’ve cleared the misunderstanding and you know that I’m not injured, why are you still sticking around?” Although Samuel did not mention any names, it was evident that he was dismissing Yara.
At that, Yara’s face twisted into a hideous frown as she had not expected to get chased out of the ward so heartlessly. “Samuel, I-”
“Leave, and close the door on your way out.”
Yara hesitated. Although she did not want to leave, she had never once challenged Samuel’s decision in the past five years and was not about to do so now.
Her jaw clenched so tightly that her teeth almost got crushed under the unyielding weight. Nevertheless, she did as told.
This isn’t over. Wait and see, Natalie. I’ll eventually win him over!
As soon as Yara left the ward, Natalie dropped the act and resumed her cold demeanor.
Her hands retracted from Samuel’s shirt while she put on a calm expression.
Samuel knew Natalie was mean but did not expect her to give him the boot so heartlessly.
“That’s it? So I’m merely a tool for you to use then dump once you achieve your motives?” he asked.
“Of course.” Natalie avoided his gaze and muttered, “Besides, you already knew I was putting on an act…”
A dull pain sank in Samuel’s chest upon hearing that.
This woman will be the death of me. I was willing to become her tool, but who would’ve known that she would turn and ditch me like that?
He pursed his lips but did not adjust his posture. Instead, his body continued to press down on Natalie’s.
Despite Yara interrupting them earlier, he had not forgotten about Natalie’s male friend earlier.
He casually asked, “Who’s that childhood sweetheart you were talking to on the phone?”
Natalie froze. Oh my gosh, he still hasn’t dropped the topic about Jerome.
“Samuel, why should I report every detail in my life to you?”
“Well, because I’m your man.” Samuel boldly met her gaze and declared in a deep voice, “Are you really going to challenge me?”
“Since when did you become my man?”
“Well, I’ve devoted all my love to you, and only you…” His dulled tone continued, “How can I not be yours?”
An air of seriousness emanated from the ends of Samuel’s hair to his toes.
Natalie wanted to rebuke him.
Yet, when she looked into his dark and mysterious eyes, she could not seem to utter a single word.
Natalie feared that Samuel would bite her lip again out of anger. The thought of her already swollen lips suffering from another bite stopped her from fighting the latter.
Hence, she decided to change the topic instead. “Well, I’m an exhausted patient who’s already lost a lot of blood. I want to get some rest now…”
“Okay.” Samuel’s stubborn gaze locked onto hers as he said, “Go ahead and rest up. We’ll talk about that sweetheart of yours later.”
In truth, Natalie was utterly worn out from everything that had happened.
She had slight hopes that Samuel would be gone by the time she awoke from her nap.
However, his arms wrapped around her just as she was about to snuggle under the blanket to sleep.
