Chapter 589 Hoarse

After Samuel stepped out of the bathroom, he leaned with his back to the glass door and took several deep breaths to stabilize the impulses stirring inside him.

From the moment he removed Natalie’s robes, he was already in heat.

Had he stayed inside there one minute more, all his sense of self-control would have crumbled on itself as there was nothing he wanted more than to take her right there and then.

Fearful of harming Natalie’s body, Samuel went on downstairs to make the ginger tea he promised her.

Gavin approached when he saw Samuel coming down. “Is there anything you need of me, Mr. Samuel?”

“Nat may have caught a chill, so I would like for her to have some ginger tea. But it’s fine, Gavin. I can prepare it myself.”

With that, Samuel turned into the kitchen.

While Gavin watched Samuel depart, he smiled broadly at the thought of the latter’s thoughtfulness toward Natalie. Mr. Samuel really has changed considerably.

Inside the kitchen, Samuel began to peel the ginger. Once they had been completely skinned, he had them placed inside the boiling water to brew into tea.

Worried that Natalie might replace the ginger packing too much heat, he made sure to put more sugar into the mix.

By the time Samuel brought the readied ginger tea into the bathroom, the interior was already shrouded in a fog of humidity. There, inside the tub, sat the fair and tender woman with her arms wrapped around her knees, looking fresh and lovely like a hibiscus in bloom in the midst of the water that surrounded her.

Natalie lifted her chin when he entered and regarded him with moistened eyes.

D*mn it!

Samuel’s body started to heat up once more.

“The ginger tea is ready. Make sure you finish every last drop of it,” he said as he passed the mug along.

“Okay.”

Natalie obediently lifted her delicate hand to receive it from him and sipped away at the tea with her dainty lips. The beverage was less spicy than she had imagined and leaned toward sweetness.

“It’s delicious!” she said with a toothy grin.

“Yeah,” replied Samuel in a dense inflection while he continued to keep his tensed up back toward her. “Don’t stay in there for too long. Get out once the water starts to cool. I’ll be in the bedroom.”

The man seemed to be in some hurry, and he closed the door rather loudly.

With her head bowed and her hands taking in the warmth of the mug between them, Natalie’s eyes were filled with delight.

What’s with the cool guy act? He obviously wants to do it, yet he’s acting like he doesn’t.

When Natalie walked out of the bathroom, Samuel could no longer contain himself. Following that, the kisses rained all over.

That night lasted till late.

Unable to hold up physically, Natalie wound up sleeping well into the next day.

The first thing that greeted her when she roused was a call from Yana.

“Yana…”

“What happened to your voice, Natalie?” asked Yana in concern. “Are you down with the flu?”

Natalie had taken a warm bath and helped herself to ginger tea. Her hoarseness did not stem from an ailment, but from the overexertion of her vocal cords from the night before.

“Probably not. I guess I must be tired out recently.” There was no way she could have related such an embarrassing cause to Yana. Thus, she could only fob her off.

“You should take care to rest up.” Yana then remembered why she called in the first place. “Anyway, it’s my dad’s birthday in five days. As his goddaughter, you must attend the banquet that night!”

“Of course, I will,” said Natalie with a smile. “Especially since it’ll be my first birthday celebration with the Weisses since he has become my godfather.”

“Great! I’ll be seeing you then!”

After Yana hung up, Natalie got up and traveled to Dream Corporation. She wanted to see whether there was anything suitable as a gift for her godfather, Jason, inside the safe.

Within these safe were the treasures Natalie had accumulated over the years.

Ross’ and Lia’s jaws dropped when they saw the jade-ware, jewels, and emeralds inside.

What sort of safe is this? It’s practically a mini-museum for precious artifacts.

Yandel, however, did not appear to be as impressed.

Seeing how Ross and Lia were mesmerized by the glitter inside, Natalie said, “I haven’t really given you any gifts before, have I? You two can have a look inside, and take any single piece that caught your fancy…”
