Chapter 72 Natalie Cried

Natalie continued to struggle but to no avail. Samuel’s large palm clutched her hand tightly without the intention of letting go.

For some reason, Natalie felt loved when Samuel’s palm was pressed against the back of her hand. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

It had been a long time since someone held her hand so tightly and dearly after her mother’s death.

At that moment, she glanced at Samuel’s face and felt a strange warmth fill her heart.

Samuel’s loving and gentle attitude toward Natalie was witnessed by the female teachers.

“Did you guys see what happened just now?”

“Mr. Bowers is treating that ugly woman so nicely! He didn’t even get angry when that woman’s lips touched his. When he looked at her, there was love in his eyes!”

“Exactly! Do you think she is his girlfriend? Would she be Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia’s mother in the future?”

As the female teachers discussed, they found the whole situation somewhat absurd and unbelievable. However, what happened just now was undeniably true.

Just then, the art teacher, Molly Larkins, said with a firm voice, “That’s impossible!”

“Why do you say so? Didn’t you see what happened just now?” another female teacher questioned Molly.

“Yes, I saw what happened, and that’s why I’m sure it’s impossible! It was an accident when the woman’s lips touched Mr. Bowers’. Judging by Mr. Bowers’ status and standards, do you guys really

think he would be interested in a woman like her?” Molly lifted her chin and said disdainfully.

If that woman was a stunning beauty, then it’s reasonable to say that Mr. Bowers is in love with her. However, that woman is not pretty at all. Instead, she is quite ugly.

In terms of appearance, every single female teacher who was present was prettier than Natalie.

Immediately, the women changed their opinions.

“I think Mr. Bowers has better taste.”

“That woman’s face is full of freckles! It would take a lot of courage to kiss her.”

“I bet that woman is cunning! Maybe it was not a coincidence that their lips touched. She is clearly taking advantage of Mr. Bowers’ kindness!”

“What happened to this world? Ugly women nowadays are playing dirty to be recognized, huh?”

Molly listened to them speak and gritted her teeth. Her eyes were full of resentment.

Am I not prettier than that woman? I guess I’m too shy and reserved. That’s why I missed out on countless opportunities to befriend Mr. Bowers.

Disgusted by the thought of a woman like Natalie kissing Samuel’s lips, Molly clenched her fists and bit her lip in anger.

All this time, she had low self-esteem and thought that she was not good enough for Samuel. And now, her chance was snatched by Natalie.

I don’t care who she is! I’m going to teach her a lesson.

Natalie and Samuel stood outside Franklin and Sophia’s classroom and watched them study.

The corners of Natalie’s lips curved to form a smile as she watched them listen attentively in the classroom.

All of a sudden, she was reminded of the pair of twins she had lost.

It was as if a sharp dagger had pierced the scab on her heart and made it bleed again. The throbbing pain was difficult to ignore.

If the twins were still alive, they would be around the same age as Sophia and Franklin. They would be able to sit in a classroom like Franklin and Sophia.

She had given birth to them but failed to protect them.

I’m so sorry, my babies.

Pain spread through Natalie’s chest like blazing fire and took her breath away.

The more she looked at Franklin and Sophia, the more she thought about her twins.

Tears began to well in her eyes and in the end, they streamed down her cheeks.

Just as Natalie was struggling to endure the immense pain, Samuel grabbed her wrist and forced her to face him.

His eyes darkened as he said in a deep voice, “Are you crying, Natalie?”
