Chapter 295 A Hidden Beast
“What did you say just now? I didn’t hear you…” the man teased.
Wanting to pick up Yana’s call, Natalie closed her eyes and repeated loudly, “I shouldn’t have dressed so flamboyantly for the banquet!”
“Who’s the only one allowed to see you in this dress?” Samuel’s voice turned hoarse as he gazed at her.
Natalie’s cheeks reddened.
Even so, she knew Samuel would not let go of her so easily if he did not hear the answer he wanted.
“You.”
“Say everything out.” Samuel was still forcing her.
Seeing how the phone was about to stop ringing, Natalie could not be bothered about how shameless it was anymore. She repeated, “Samuel, I can only wear this for you, and you only…”
Pleased by her answer, Samuel stopped pinning her hands above her head and released her.
Natalie finally regained her freedom.
She immediately grabbed the phone on the table and placed it beside her ear.
“Hello?”
“Have you left, Natalie?” Yana’s gentle voice sounded.
“Not yet,” Natalie responded in guilt. “I don’t really know how to wear the gown. I’ve spent ages trying to wear it, but I still couldn’t get it on me. I might have to attend the banquet in another gown.”
“I see.” Letting out a chuckle, Yana uttered, “It’s fine, then. The gown is only a piece of clothing. Although it’s a pity that you can’t wear it, your presence is more important.”
“Okay! I’ll be there right away!”
When Natalie hung up the call, she glared at Samuel, who was sitting beside her.
His collar was slightly open, revealing his well-defined collarbones. He stared at her intently like a predator, making Natalie feel like he was going to devour her at any moment.
“Samuel, I notice how childish you can be sometimes,” remarked Natalie seriously.
“I’m not childish. I’m just possessive.” Samuel stroked the hickeys on Natalie’s neck gently. “I’m the only one who can admire my woman. No one else is allowed to look at you.”
A mysterious glint flashed across his eyes.
Natalie was afraid that Samuel would lose control and kiss her for another half an hour.
Hence, she took the initiative and kissed his lips instead.
“Stop it! I’m really going to be late.”
When Samuel felt the soft sensation on his lips, he touched his lips gently, reminiscing the kiss Natalie had just given him.
The kiss was unbelievably sweet when she was the one who initiated it.
After coaxing Samuel, Natalie got up and returned to the bedroom. She found the traditional white gown she had worn before and changed into it.
The gown was decorated with lace at the side, hiding the hickeys that Samuel had left on her.
In the meantime, he sat on the sofa.
Checking Natalie out as she changed into her new gown, he asked cunningly, “Are you really not going to consider bringing me to the banquet?”
“Yeah.”
At that moment, Samuel stood up from the sofa, strode to Natalie, and pinched her chin.
“Why? Do you think that I’m unpresentable?”
“Yeah! You attract too much attention!” Natalie replied, glaring at him. “Since all those girls won’t dare to approach a cold man like you, they’ll just bully me, thinking that I’m a soft target!”
It was all because Samuel looked too devilishly handsome. Furthermore, as the head of the Bowers family, he might attract more trouble to the banquet.
After all, it was the birthday banquet of Yana’s father.
No matter what, she must not create more trouble for Yana and Hans.
Meeting Natalie’s furious yet lively gaze, he chuckled affectionately.
“Soft target? Let me squeeze you, then.”
Who said he’s a cold and distant man? He’s a wolf hidden in sheep’s clothing!
When Natalie arrived at the banquet hall, she was already late, as the banquet had already officially begun.
Hans and Yana were not waiting inside the hall. Instead, they waited for Natalie at the entrance, wanting to invite her in.
With Hans and Yana welcoming Natalie personally, none of the guests at the banquet dared to underestimate her.
“Dad, this is Natalie, my savior,” introduced Yana.
