Chapter 775 Reward Applicable Only Here

Samuel came back a little late that night.

Knowing that Natalie was in the study, he took off her coat and headed straight there.

When he arrived, Samuel found that the door of the study was opened a crack as opposed to being fully closed. He raised his hand and knocked on the door before walking in.

Hearing the knock on the door, Natalie smiled at the sight of Samuel.

“You’re back?”

Samuel walked to Natalie’s side and found several books on Loang’s history and architecture on the desk. He picked one up at random. “When did you suddenly become interested in Loang?”

“I’d lived in Loang for a year,” Natalie said with one hand on her cheek. “The local customs appeal to me very much. “Dream’s presence in Chanaea is already a little saturated, in my opinion. As a groundwork for future plans, I’m thinking of expanding overseas by getting started in Loang. On the one hand, Loang and Chanaea share an origin to have similar cultures and traditions. On the other, I am relatively familiar with there…”

There’s another reason. The key.

Natalie flipped through these books in an attempt to replace some clues about the jade key.

Having the instinctive feeling that the key was more than just a beautiful artifact, she was curious to replace out what it opened.

As her inferences were still preliminary, Natalie did not feel comfortable sharing them with Samuel.

Samuel put down the book in his hand and rested them on both sides of Natalie’s hips. “Gavin told me you adopted a little girl today,” he said as his eyes twinkled.

“I was about to talk to you about this,” Natalie explained, “I went to the orphanage with Diane today and I signed the papers as soon as I met Yumi. I’m sorry, I should have discussed it with you instead of making this decision without authorization, I-”

“Thought you did something wrong?” Samuel asked in a low voice.

“It’s just… Though I stand by what I did, I feel guilty for neglecting your feelings,” Natalie admitted.

Samuel kissed the top of Natalie’s head gently. “You don’t need to feel that way. If you are happy, I will be happier than anyone else. As I said, I will not let you be my caged bird. If you ever want to do anything you like, you have my full approval.”

Natalie’s heart throbbed at his love. She reached up and kissed Samuel’s thin lips forcefully.

“It’s nice of you to take the initiative tonight, Nat,” Samuel said croakily.

“You can think of this is as a reward,” Natalie said with a grin.

“Can I have some more?”

Though visibly startled, Natalie nodded under the man’s expectant gaze.

The next second, Samuel swept the books off the desk. They scattered to the ground with a crash.

He lifted Natalie to the desk and forced her to meet his gaze before kissing her alluring red lips deeply.

For several minutes, the sound of clashing teeth and soft moans filled the study.

Gradually, Natalie was pressed against the table. The cold wood of the table that was in stark contrast to the heat of passion emanating from her body made her tremble uncontrollably.

“Can we go back to the bedroom?” Natalie asked tentatively.

“It only counts as a reward here,” Samuel rasped mischievously. “It’s no longer valid once we return to the bedroom.”

Taking advantage of Natalie’s stunned silence, Samuel once again took the lead in infusing the place in the house where he spent the most amount of time with some of his deepest fantasies.

In the meantime at the Nichols residence, Thomas received the resignation call of his assistant.

“I’ve been good to you, haven’t I?” Thomas said in an accusatory tone. “How can you just resign when I need you? Trust me, Dexmed Pharmaceutical will be turned around! It’ll take more than this to bankrupt us.”

Even Thomas’ hysteria did nothing to change the assistant’s mind.

“Mr. Nichols, even married couples go their separate ways when they know that disaster is imminent. You and I are only professional colleagues. Don’t drag me into your mess with you.”
