Chapter 214 Natalie Is Jealous

Stella ran and panted heavily, but the moment she saw Samuel, she could not stop herself from giving him a hug.

“Why is it so difficult to meet you at the right time and place?!” Stella buried her tiny face in his chest and vented her frustration. “Why didn’t you tell me you came to visit Granny? I almost missed you again.”

“How difficult can that be?” Samuel did not push her away. Instead, he gave her shoulder a gentle pat. “Well, I’m standing in front of you right now.”

“I miss you.”

“You can take a good look at me now.”

Natalie stood still while holding a bowl of soy milk in her hand. Her heart sank when she saw the two in each other’s embrace.

I guess Samuel treats the other women like how he had treated me too. I’m not that special someone in his life, after all.

Seconds later, Natalie pulled herself together. What’s wrong with me? Samuel’s love life is none of my business anyway. Who am I to judge?

Yet, she could not stop her heart from twitching.

D*mn it.

She even began to experience shortness of breath.

When Samuel turned around and looked at her, Natalie raised the bowl to cover her eyes.

She did not want the man to see how panicked she was.

Upon noticing how Natalie was trying to hide her jealousy, a corner of Samuel’s lips quirked up.

After releasing Samuel from her hug, Stella noticed an unfamiliar face from a distance.

“Who is she?” She pointed at Natalie. “Is she your new assistant? Did you fire Billy because he screwed things up?”

“What are you talking about?” Ida pulled a straight face. “She’s Mr. Bowers’ friend.”

Stella instantly turned her attention to Natalie and started studying her from head to toe. She then took a glance at Samuel and said, “Got it. She’s your friend now, but one day, she’ll become my sister-in- law. Am I right?”

Sister-in-law?

Natalie froze for a moment.

Stella grinned and extended her hand to Natalie. “Nice to meet you. I’m Stella. Samuel’s cousin.”

She’s Samuel’s cousin? What was I thinking earlier?

Natalie was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

“Hello. Nice to meet you.” Natalie held Stella’s hand and introduced herself. “I’m Natalie. Natalie Nichols.”

After a brief introduction, the four of them took their seats at the dining table.

Stella started gulping down her grandmother’s soy milk, as she had not had it for quite some time.

To avoid misunderstanding, Ida started explaining to Natalie, “I used to work for Ms. Shanice as a wet nurse, and my daughter and I lived with them in their residence. When my daughter grew up, she married Ms. Shanice’s brother.”

“In other words, Stella is my granddaughter. She’s also Mr. Samuel’s cousin. They grew up together here and had a close relationship with each other. That’s why they behaved like that earlier. I hope you don’t mind.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“I see,” Natalie responded with an awkward smile and tried to hide her guilt.

The two ladies clicked right away, and they even exchanged contact numbers. Stella was so fond of Natalie that she kept asking the latter all kinds of questions.

Natalie, too, thought Stella was adorable. She also liked how steady and open Stella was. Natalie enjoyed being around her.

After breakfast, Samuel left the house with Natalie.

An awkward silence filled the air when the two were traveling in Hummer, as they did not speak to each other.

After sending Natalie home, Samuel returned to the office to handle some matters.

Since the three children were away in preschool, Natalie was all alone in the house.

After leaving the press conference last night, Natalie had not had the time to go through the messages on her phone.

After making herself a cup of coffee, she sat in front of her desk and started working.

She logged into her Twitter account and noticed two trending hashtags on the sidebar.

The first was: Wendy takes you back in time

The second hashtag was: Yara responds to the rumor on pre-recorded music
