Chapter 1035 Shakily Kissing Him

Bastien excitedly muttered, “Everything’s really fated!”

Then, as Bastien stared at the figure, an urge to run after the figure appeared in his head.

However, by the time he actually went after the figure, Natalie was already nowhere to be found in front of the restaurant.

Not wanting to give up, Bastien searched his surroundings, but his efforts were for naught.

Joseph, who had been following Bastien the entire time, said, “Mr. Nine, it’s likely that the woman has left the restaurant. I don’t think you’ll be able to replace her anymore.”

Bastien inclined his head. “We have to keep looking for her.”

“I understand, Mr. Nine,” Joseph replied. “If she’s at Yaleview, then she’s within our search scope. It’ll be much easier to look for her here than in Chanaea.”

The night wind billowed the stray hair by Bastien’s forehead, but even those messy strands of hair could not hide the tenderness in his eyes.

“Remember not to startle her when you’re looking for her, Joseph. This is the crucial point of the competition, and we can’t afford to encounter any trouble nor bring any trouble to her.”

Joseph knew how important the woman was to Bastien, so he nodded solemnly.

“Understood.”

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Hummer sped all the way home.

However, both Natalie and Samuel were in no rush to get down from the car as they remained seated silently inside.

Natalie turned around to look at Samuel. “Samuel, don’t you think that you were a little childish just now? I’m not a businesswoman, and if I were to cross the Leitz family, at most, I’d lose the business with Helma.”

Natalie could afford to lose that deal. With how famous Muse was, she could sell it to another socialite.

However, Bowers Corporation was unlike Dream Corporation. Losing ten billion by doing that was already the least severe consequence. Chances were that he was going to lose an unimaginable amount of money.

That was why Natalie refused to let Samuel make arrangements for her; that was why she pretended to have fallen for the trap before confronting Heidi head-on.

Unexpectedly, Samuel appeared and tormented Heidi. Natalie was afraid that Heidi would begin despising him as well.

However, Samuel only flashed her a casual smile. “So be it.”

With that said, he suddenly turned solemn. “I don’t want to repeat my earlier words. However, I won’t let anyone or anything hurt you, even if it means that I’ll lose everything.”

This man… is unbelievably determined. He just lost a big deal. He didn’t even hesitate at all.

Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes as she continued thinking, Right. How can he possibly hesitate? He ended up getting poisoned because he met me. He really left no room to hesitate for himself.

Natalie was moved, but that sense of warmth was too torturing for her.

As she held Samuel’s hand, and as her eyes reddened, she said, “I really wish you could love me lesser now.”

Right as she said those words, Samuel swiftly held her hand. “Impossible. I knew that you were a trap, but I still ran straight to you. This is fate, and there’s no sense in this.”

“But you…”

You don’t have more time anymore. As time passes by, you’ll lose your five senses. In the end, you’ll leave me.

Of course, those words were something Natalie did not say out loud.

“Nat, if death is the destination everyone has to walk to,” Samuel started earnestly. “Then I have to have you in my life.”

He certainly was ensuring that she would have a good life under his care.

A fresh swell of love and heartache surged in Natalie’s heart as more tears sprang to her eyes. Finally, her tears fell, and she shakily let her lips meet with Samuel’s.
