Chapter 447 Childish But Domineering
The next day, Natalie woke up with a hangover and was feeling dizzy.
After washing up, she went downstairs and saw the four children and a man sitting by the dining table.
Clad in casual attire, Samuel, whose hair was left uncombed, was reading a business newspaper.
Any woman would have easily fall for this look.
“Good morning, Mommy!”
“Mommy! Good morning!”
“Mommy, morning!”
“Good morning, Mommy!”
Four precious little ones greeted her concurrently, and that made her feel good.
Natalie walked about and gave each of them a kiss on their cheeks, but when she walked past Samuel, she ignored him, went to her seat, and started having her breakfast.
The four children took turns and filled her plate with food.
Her plate was so full that she had to stop them from adding more food to it.
After breakfast, the four children departed for pre-school.
Samuel was about to leave for work at Centurion Corporation, and she needed to make a trip to Dream.
Before leaving, Samuel grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his chest.
He gazed into her eyes and refused to let her go.
“Samuel…”
“You can’t leave just yet. There’s something you forget to do,” Samuel said in a deep voice. “You must do it before you leave.”
“What is it?” Natalie looked confused.
Samuel pointed at her rosy lips and expressed his dissatisfaction. “You gave the kids a kiss but not me.”
“But you’re not a kid!” Natalie huffed a laugh. “Stop acting like a spoilt brat!”
But Samuel begged to differ. “I deserve a kiss too.” He then kissed her lips when she was unprepared. “As their father, I deserve it more.”
His remark had rendered Natalie speechless.
A corner of Samuel’s lips quirked up as he left for work.
Natalie gently touched a corner of her lips. She could not help but grin when she recalled the snow they watched together last night.
Samuel’s childish but domineering behavior did not turn her off. In fact, she quite liked how he behaved.
After arriving at Dream, she waited for Lia in her office.
Yandel had to attend a meeting, so he instructed the assistant to make two cups of coffee and put them in the CEO’s office.
“Here.” Lia handed over a hard disk to Natalie. “These recordings will come in handy if you wish to expose Yara’s wrongdoings to Samuel.”
But Natalie did not accept it. Instead, she took a sip of her coffee and said, “I’ll put you in danger too if I were to expose Yara’s wrongdoings with this evidence. Besides, you can always use these recordings to threaten Yara, so keep them to yourself.”
After spending some time with Natalie, Lia could somehow understand her train of thought.
“I supposed you’re still not willing to find out how important you are to Lionel. So what plan do you have in mind?” Natalie asked.
“I want to work in Dream. I want to work with you, like Ross and Yandel.” Lia said. “I never thought of marrying my brother in the first place. It was all under the threat of Yara that I did the unthinkable. I want to train myself to be like you and to help others so that I can also become a role model for someone in the future.”
Besides love, there’s more to life than meets the eye.
Natalie was pleased that Lia had finally sorted out life and was willing to lend Lia a helping hand.
“Working in Dream is no bed of roses.” Natalie winked and intentionally put on a serious look. “Even Ross and Yandel were nearly driven crazy when they first joined the company!”
