The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 936

“Do not worry. I shall do my best.” Luna nodded solemnly.

Luna packed her things into the medicine box, stood up from the chair, and said goodbye. “I will leave Yaleview tomorrow morning and go to Mount Phoenix to visit my grandfather's junior, Jorden Yablon. Back then, he was part of the reason that the poison in your body could be suppressed. Half the credit is due to him. I want to discuss with him and see if there is a better way to get rid of the poison in your body.”

“Thank you. You've done so much for me,” Samuel replied in a humble voice.

At this exact point in time, Jesper's voice was heard coming through the equipment beside Samuel.

“Ms. Nichols, it's pretty late now... Mr. York may be in bed already. Why don't you... come to see him tomorrow?” It was quite obvious that Jesper was speaking louder than usual and more exaggeratedly to send Samuel a warning.

Upon hearing that, Luna was at a loss on what to do.

“Mr. Samuel, should... Should I go now? Or... What should I do? If Ms. Nichols sees me, she will associate Xander's identity with you...”

Luna was clear what Samuel's feelings were toward Natalie.

Was he being cruel in order to be kind?

Luna was not in a position to judge.

Nevertheless, she could not bear to destroy all the hard work that he had done for Natalie.

“Do not worry. I shall do my best.” Luna nodded solemnly.

Samuel's eyes glinted coldly, and he made an immediate decision. “Luna, tonight you will stay in the guest room on the south side of the third floor. Without my signal, you must not step out of the room.”

“All right, I understand.”

Luna nodded, picked up her medicine box, and made her retreat.

In the meantime, Jesper and Natalie reached Pendant Hall.

Natalie stood one step behind Jesper. She was calm and collected, while he was a bundle of nerves.

She had gentle almond-shaped eyes and a slender figure, but she could be very threatening.

Jesper swallowed. “Ms. Nichols, may I press the doorbell to announce your arrival?”

“Go ahead.” Natalie smiled as she said, “I'll watch you.”

Jesper put on a smile and pretended to press the bell. He prayed silently that his boss had heard what he had said just now.

If he is not wearing his mask... won't his secret be exposed?

In a short while, the door at the entrance opened.

Natalie and Jesper walked in side by side.

In the living room, a man in a black shirt was standing with his back toward them.

The shape of his back was so attractive that even the simple shirt looked extraordinarily stunning on him. There was no unnecessary movement. By just standing there, he exuded an air of pride and elegant aristocracy.

Notolie wos shocked.

Jesper cost o sidelong glonce ot Notolie. Hehe, shocked, oren't you? My boss is indeed in such good shope thot none con meosure up to him. His figure wos not just ocquired through strict self-discipline os he wos olso born with it, which is completely envioble!

Whot Jesper did not know wos thot Notolie's shock wos not just by the mon's sheer physicol beouty but by something else.

There is such o close resemblonce! The shope of his body viewed from behind is similor to Somuel's.

Just by looking ot him from behind, she would certoinly be reminded of Somuel if she did not know thot this wos Xonder.

The mon turned oround slowly, still weoring thot silver mosk thot looked cold ond shiny.

Jesper wos relieved to see Somuel weoring the mosk. “Mr. York—” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Pleose leove.” Somuel spoke in o low voice thot wos husky os olwoys.

“Yes, sir.” Jesper sounded groteful os if gronted omnesty.

Consequently, Notolie ond Somuel were the only ones in the huge holl.

Notolie wolked slowly toword him; eoch step she took wos o stob in his heort.

“Why?” Notolie's red lips ported slightly, ond she murmured to him, “You ond I ore neither reloted nor friends, so why do you help me time ond time ogoin!”

Natalie was shocked.

Jesper cast a sidelong glance at Natalie. Hehe, shocked, aren't you? My boss is indeed in such good shape that none can measure up to him. His figure was not just acquired through strict self-discipline as he was also born with it, which is completely enviable!

What Jesper did not know was that Natalie's shock was not just by the man's sheer physical beauty but by something else.

There is such a close resemblance! The shape of his body viewed from behind is similar to Samuel's.

Just by looking at him from behind, she would certainly be reminded of Samuel if she did not know that this was Xander.

The man turned around slowly, still wearing that silver mask that looked cold and shiny.

Jesper was relieved to see Samuel wearing the mask. “Mr. York—”

“Please leave.” Samuel spoke in a low voice that was husky as always.

“Yes, sir.” Jesper sounded grateful as if granted amnesty.

Consequently, Natalie and Samuel were the only ones in the huge hall.

Natalie walked slowly toward him; each step she took was a stab in his heart.

“Why?” Natalie's red lips parted slightly, and she murmured to him, “You and I are neither related nor friends, so why do you help me time and time again!”
