Chapter 579 Destined To Be Together
Two days later.
Natalie was discharged from the hospital.
Before she left with Samuel, they dropped by Christopher’s room to visit him.
His physical condition had turned for the better, and he could sit up so long as there was a pillow for him to lean on.
“Christopher, are you feeling better?” asked Natalie in a concerned tone.
“The cuts still hurt, but it’s so much better than when my previous illness tortured me.”
“Thank you,” said Natalie sincerely. “If it hadn’t been for you, both Sophia and I would probably have died in that warehouse. I will always remember what you did for us, and if you ever need anything, I will do everything I can to help.”
Natalie didn’t make promises often, but when she did, she would make good of her words.
Christopher nodded when he heard Natalie’s thanks.
All she felt for him was friendship and appreciation. She would help him if he needed it, but that was not something he wanted.
She might never be able to give him what he wanted.
“Is that a promise?” asked Christopher while smiling. A hint of mischief shone in his eyes.
“Yes, and I will never break that promise,” replied Natalie while nodding firmly.
Christopher shifted his gaze from Natalie to Samuel before saying, “In that case, Natalie, you can repay my kindness by being my wife. All you have to do is promise me that you will marry me in your next reincarnation.”
Natalie was dumbstruck when she heard that.
“Ask for something else. You can forget about that. She is mine and will remain mine even in her next reincarnation,” replied Samuel harshly while frowning deeply.
Christopher couldn’t help laughing aloud when he heard what Samuel said.
The former ended up laughing too much and tearing his own wound open. Even then, he couldn’t stop laughing.
In the past, Christopher and Samuel had gone up against one another at work. Every time that happened, Samuel’s incredible ability to control himself and his emotions would surprise Christopher.
Every battle at work ended with Christopher going all out but still losing to Samuel by just a smidge.
Hence, he didn’t expect Samuel to act that way.
Huh, when it comes to love, this guy is even more jealous and childish than I am.
“Natalie, will you keep your promise?” asked Christopher after he finally stopped laughing.
Samuel kept his mouth shut.
That being said, he had narrowed his beautiful eyes, and every muscle on his face was tightened. His entire body was exuding an icy aura as well.
Natalie snuck a peek at Samuel, who was screaming “no” with every cell in his body. That was when she realized that Christopher was deliberately messing with Samuel.
It was possible that Samuel didn’t even realize that Christopher was just joking. Samuel must care deeply about me, and that is why he won’t even take a joke.
Truth was, there was no saying if reincarnation was real.
Despite that, Samuel refused to entertain the possibility of losing her. He wanted to continue being with her.
“Well, if the matter involves our next reincarnation, then let’s talk then,” said Natalie before giggling. “We may not be married in this lifetime, but we can be close friends. I’m pretty amazing, so don’t worry, a friend like me won’t embarrass you.”
Christopher was secretly disappointed, but he nodded with a smile.
“Yeah, you’re right.”
Natalie planned to leave after visiting Christopher.
The men, however, were in sync and spoke the same words simultaneously.
“Go on out. I need to talk to him in private.”
“Go on out. I need to talk to him in private.”
Natalie was stunned. She didn’t know what the men were thinking or why they couldn’t talk in front of her, but she left obediently anyway.
Christopher and Samuel became the only ones left in the room. They glared at one another.
The former broke the silence by saying, “I heard from the hospital. They said you donated half of the blood that saved my life. You could’ve ordered one of your men to donate the blood, but you used your own blood and gave me so much that you fainted. Seriously, you and your lady are so similar.”
“Similar, huh? I guess that means we’re destined to stay together forever,” replied Samuel calmly.
