Chapter 65 You Can Trust Me
“Samuel, I hate it when others try to test me,” said Natalie as she became increasingly cautious and
alert. “Stop wasting your energy on me. Why don’t you spend it on Yara instead?”
To Natalie, anyone who helped Yara was her enemy, including Samuel.
Natalie tried to pull herself away from Samuel’s embrace and away from the shameful position they were
in.
She was so close to him, with only a layer of clothing in between them. It was difficult for her to ignore
the feeling of Samuel’s hot temperature on her skin.
Samuel whispered when Natalie moved, “Don’t move.”
His tone made Natalie feel like she had just touched somewhere she should not have, and she stopped
moving right away. She was not afraid of Samuel. Instead, she was just not used to being so intimate
with someone else.
“Who told you I’m on Yara’s side?”
“Do you think I’m a fool?” Natalie pursed her lips and continued, “She marched into the Bowers
residence in such an imposing manner and you’re telling me that you’re not on her side?”
“Didn’t you march into the Bowers residence in the same imposing manner?”
“I…”
“If you don’t like her, then I’ll not allow her to set foot in the Bowers residence anymore in the future,”
Samuel promised.

There was incomprehensible emotion in his deep eyes, but the way he was looking at Natalie made her
feel his seriousness when he made that promise.
As she looked into his eyes, she could no longer bring herself to question him.
“Natalie, you can doubt the entire world if you want. I just wish you would try to trust me,” said Samuel.
Natalie was once a fool who did not know how to protect herself. As a result, she was deeply hurt by the
people closest to her. She was abused, exploited, and even lost her virginity because of her foolishness.
Trust? It was such a simple word, but it was the most difficult thing for Natalie to do.
“Samuel.”
“Yeah?”
“I’m sorry. But I don’t trust anyone but myself.”
Samuel narrowed his eyes and looked at Natalie. Her pain and sadness were written all over her face.
She did not reveal anything about her past, but Samuel was still able to see how vulnerable she was
under all the stubbornness and determination.
She did not shed a tear, but Samuel knew that she was in pain and that her heart was bleeding
profusely.
“I’m sorry.” Samuel let go of Natalie and stood up from the couch.
I was too rash. I only wanted to have her by my side, but I did not consider how much she suffered in the
past. I need to take it slow. Samuel turned and left.
Natalie clenched her fists as she watched Samuel leave.
She knew she should not trust Samuel, but her heart throbbed when she heard his apology.
Natalie arrived at the Watsons residence to help treat Max’s poison as promised.
When she stepped into the large bedroom, she realized that only Max and Shawn were present.
Max was still in bed, but his condition seemed to have improved compared to before.
“Old Mr. Watsons.”
“Natalie, you’re my lifesaver. I have an unreasonable favor to ask. Since Shawn is only a few years older
than you, you don’t have to address me as ‘Old Mr. Watsons’ or ‘Sir.’ Why don’t you just call me
‘Grandpa’ like how Shawn does?” said Max with a smile.
I think that’s a reasonable demand. Natalie nodded as she had no reason to decline Max’s wishes.
“Grandpa.”
Max smiled delightfully. “Yes, that’s it.”
Natalie greeted Shawn with a light nod and began attending to Max.
Throughout the process, Shawn kept his gaze locked on Natalie, his eyes glimmering behind his
glasses.
Natalie focused on the treatment and paid no attention toward Shawn.
Max, on the other hand, watched the two of them quietly.
The old man admired Natalie’s medical skills and personality, but when it came to her appearance, he
was worried that even Shawn would not be able to accept it.
However, judging by the way Shawn was staring at Natalie, Max knew that this grandson of his was
completely in love. After all, there was a saying that goes – beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Shawn’s happiness is all that matters.
After Natalie finished doing her job, she kept away the equipment and said, “Grandpa, the toxins in your
body are almost cleared, but you’ll still have to take the medicines I prescribed you. They will help you in

“I understand.”
“I’ll take my leave then if there’s nothing else.”
Max cleared his throat and looked at Shawn before saying, “Shawn, what are you waiting for? Treat
Natalie to a meal on my behalf.”
Natalie opened her mouth and was about to reject the offer.
However, before she could say anything, Shawn said, “Ms. Nichols, please allow us to repay your
kindness.”
Natalie glanced at the both of them and knew that it would be too ignorant of her if she were to insist on
rejecting the offer.
“All right then. Thank you.”
Instead of having dinner in the Watsons residence, Shawn took Natalie to a high-end restaurant owned
by the Watsons family.
The restaurant manager was quite shocked when he saw Natalie’s face as she and Shawn entered the
restaurant.
Although Shawn was not very influential in the Watsons family, he was still considered a prominent
person.
But this woman’s appearance is too… ugly.
The restaurant manager stared blankly at Natalie’s freckled face and was too shocked to say anything.
Natalie, on the other hand, was not bothered by it. She was used to the way people looked at her by
now, but Shawn was not able to keep his cool.
He stood in front of Natalie and glared at the manager, as though he was silently giving him a
warning. Get lost.
