Chapter 937 If He Died
“It just happened,” he replied coldly.
“You’re lying.” She could not help laughing softly, curling her lips upward. “If it happened once, it’s a coincidence. However, it has happened twice and then three times. It has happened yet again… So please don’t tell me that your man protecting me tonight was also a coincidence.”
“You can interpret this any way you like.”
Silence filled the room.
Natalie was confident in her ability to read people. Even though she might not see through everyone, at the very least, she could understand most of the people she came across. Yet, she just could not understand this man. She could not even be sure if he was friend or foe.
This man always helps me but has never asked for anything in return.
This was not just strange.
It was… extremely weird.
“I’m grateful that you have saved me before.” Natalie raised her delicate face, her almond-shaped eyes filled with determination. “Nevertheless, I don’t want you to protect me. I am not someone special to you. You have no right to be concerned over me. My life and death have nothing to do with you!”
She did not like owing anyone anything.
She especially did not like owing these unexplained favors.
The moment she finished speaking, he clenched his fists in frustration as blood surged in his chest. With difficulty, he asked, “Then… how may I protect you?”
“Only Samuel Bowers can…” Natalie’s eyes were filled with bitterness as she smiled. “Ha! How could you be him? Mr. York, there are so many good women in the world, so don’t use this kind of method to get close to me. It is impossible for me to open my heart to anyone.”
Samuel held Natalie’s hand and asked her, “Do you like him that much?”
“What is it to you?”
“What if he is dead?”
“Don’t you dare curse him!”
Natalie opened her mouth like a fierce wild cat and bit his hand.
Indeed, she hated Samuel for being so realistic in his act just to keep her away. Yet, she could not really hate him. That man had a lot of hardships which he kept to himself. She had been secretly investigating him these days, but she had found nothing!
She was clueless.
The man who said he would love her for the rest of his life was so heartless. He just disappeared completely without telling her anything.
Nevertheless, she would not permit anyone to curse Samuel, not even the man who saved her life more than once.
This time, she had bitten really hard, and she could taste blood in her mouth.
She had thought that this man would struggle to some extent, but to her surprise, no matter how hard she bit, he just let her do so as if he did not feel any pain.
“Why do you just let me bite you?” she asked out of curiosity.
“It’s not painful.”
“Are you kidding? I’m not a three-year-old,” Natalie asked, wide-eyed.
“If you don’t like being a three-year-old, I can pretend that you are a five-year-old.” The man pulled back his hand that was showing red bite marks from being bitten. “You can continue biting until you feel relieved.”
“You!”
His behavior made her speechless.
Her intention to attack him was so obvious, yet, he had endured it with so much affection. This reminded her of Samuel again!
Natalie felt mad. She with furious at Samuel, Xander, and herself.
She missed Samuel so badly, but she was unable to find him.
This man in front of her was clearly not Samuel, but she kept seeing Samuel in him.
“You must stay far away from me in the future!”
She glared at him and then turned around to leave, but her high heels got tangled up with the carpet, and she started falling toward the floor.
Instinctively, his body moved forward, and he protected her in his arms.
He turned around and fell to the floor, with her on top of him.
Due to inertia, her body was pressed against his, and her lips were on his Adam’s apple.
