Chapter 1126 Carry You To The Couch
That night, she slept with a degree of security and relief she had never experienced before. Sensing the warm, broad chest next to her, she subconsciously inched toward Samuel to absorb his body warmth.
Feelings like “love” and “dependence” popped into her mind at that moment, among many other feelings she couldn’t describe with the spoken language.
In his half-awake state, he couldn’t help but smile as he embraced her tenderly with his sturdy arms when he felt her getting closer. After Natalie woke up, she rubbed her eyes and instinctively tried to hug Samuel, but he wasn’t there.
She abruptly opened her eyes and felt spooked. When her line of sight landed on the spot next to her, she realized the man sleeping next to her last night was gone. Her heart clenched as she uttered, “Samuel…”
Not even bothering to wear her slippers, she stumbled out of the bedroom barefooted and descended the stairs before looking for him on the first floor like a madwoman.
She appeared distraught as her face paled. Where is he? Was what happened last night just a dream? Or did he leave me again without telling me about it after staying for such a short while?
Seeing how alarmed she was as she searched for something, Emma approached her and patted her shoulder. “What are you looking for, Ms. Nichols?”
The instant Natalie saw Emma, she grabbed the older woman’s arm and asked in a frenzy, “Emma, did you see Samuel? He came back. He really did. But now… it’s like he’s gone!”
Emma was flabbergasted by her reaction. “Ms. Nichols…” “Do you know where he went, Emma?” Natalie was biting her lip tightly.
It took only a glance for him to notice Natalie was standing on the marble floor, barefooted. “What are you…” Samuel furrowed his eyebrows slightly. Dissatisfaction shone in his eyes.
She knew what he was thinking about, so she chuckled and cut him off. “Yes, yes, I forgot. I promise I won’t do it again next time!”
“There’s a next time?” His eyebrows remained furrowed. She shook her head forcefully. “No. There’s no next time.” Instead of replying to Natalie, Samuel bent forward and swept her into his arms.
“Let me down, Samuel!” she exclaimed in a small volume. “I can walk by myself!” “You can, but I want to carry you,” he responded affectionately. “Be good. I’ll carry you to the couch.”
