Chapter 454 Her Soft Spot
Samuel stayed beside Natalie after carrying her over to the bed.
He brushed his hands lightly across her cheeks, trailing the tear stains on her face. “You did it on
purpose, didn’t you? You sat on the ground drinking on a cold night because you wanted to get sick
deliberately, right?”
As Samuel pointed out, she drank over her limits because the pain of losing her child was too much for
her to bear.
She buried her pain deep down in her heart, but her well-concealed grief was let loose that day.
At the end of the day, she was not as tough as she made herself up to be.
All this while, she had been putting up a strong front just to conceal and protect the fragility in her
Now that she was drunk, she could not really hear what Samuel said. She held on to her clothes,
mumbling to him softly like a cat. “I-I’m sorry…”
She thought Samuel was angry with her so she apologized to him.
“I’m not trying to control you. I’m just afraid you might catch a cold,” Samuel said before pausing to look

Despite what he said, Natalie still apologized to him over and over again.
“Why do you keep saying you’re sorry?”
“I’m sorry… I should’ve stayed strong,” she muttered, clenching his shirt with her small hands. “I promise
I will get myself together tomorrow. Just let me do what I want till then.”
“What can I do to help?”
“Nothing, really…” Natalie shook her hand at him. Sorrow clouded her almond-shaped eyes. “It’s too late
to do anything now.”
Samuel was lost. There was nothing else he could do for her except for giving her a hug.
Natalie cried in his embrace until her strength left her. As time passed, she fell asleep in his arms with
stains of tears on her face.
Seeing this, Samuel wiped them off tenderly as memories of what she had been through flooded him.
Yes, she was bright, wise, and talented, but she also had had her fair share of hardships in life.
Some scars were especially difficult to deal with, and he did not want to force her to open up to him. He
simply wanted to be there by her side whenever she was in pain.
Just like what he was doing at that moment.
He dipped his head and planted a deep kiss on her lips.
When Natalie felt his warmth, she snuggled in his chest as if she longed for his warm company.
The two of them held each other tightly throughout the night.
They found the comfort and solace they each needed from each other.
The night passed, and morning came. Natalie woke up in Samuel’s sturdy embrace and reached out to
touch his chest.
“Hasn’t anyone told you that you’re not supposed to tease a man early in the morning?” A hoarse voice
suddenly rang in her ears.
“I’m not teasing you…”
She drew back her hand, but it was already too late. Samuel had already caught her. “Then what were
you doing?”
Natalie could not bring herself to say that she was touching him, so she lowered her gaze, trying to shy

Samuel found her behavior tantalizing. Although they had slept together before, she was still attractive
and bespelling in his eyes.
“What about something more exciting?” he asked.
Actually, Samuel had thoughts of just taking her the night before, but he controlled himself and held his
thoughts captive because Natalie was going through a hard time, but when her fingers ran across his
chest in the morning, it sparked the passion he had been trying to suppress all this while.
Despite all his efforts to not give in to his desires, Samuel found himself to be completely helpless
whenever Natalie was around.
Knowing full well where Samuel’s hand was leading hers to, Natalie glared at him. “No.”
Yet, the more she turned him away, the more it ignited his desire to conquer her. He flipped around and
pushed her under his body.
“Samuel!”
“You’ll have to use something else if you’re not using your hand.”
He did not give her a chance to object. His lips wrapped around hers securely, sealing off any chance of
her saying no.
