Chapter 1023

Xenia furrowed her brows upon hearing that. Only then did she suddenly realize that she had

underestimated Natalie.

After completing the dissection process, Natalie threw the scalpel on the tray beside her, took off her

mask and gloves, and said, “Xenia, I've placed all the necessary dissected items in the petri dish. I'll

leave the testing to you.”

In response, Xenia gave her a thumbs up.

After leaving the lab, Natalie went to the garage to get her car and prepared to go back to Dream to

continue with her work.

At that moment, Heidi was observing Natalie, who was walking out of the building, through her

sunglasses from the driver's seat of a Maserati. Her eyes flashed with strong resentment and jealousy

as her expression grew murderous.

So this is the woman Samuel loves! I must admit that she's indeed beautiful. But my looks are

comparable to hers. So what if she's married with children now? That doesn't mean that she can't get a

divorce in the future.

Heidi took off her sunglasses and fell into deep thought. If my advances on Samuel are unsuccessful,

why don't I shift my target onto her instead?

Meanwhile, there was also a black motorcycle in the parking lot. The female rider wearing a helmet

watched as Natalie drove her car out of the parking lot before glancing at her watch, recording the

latter's movements.

Zophie's eyes gleamed with malice.

I only have one chance to kill Natalie, so I must succeed.

Dark clouds loomed over the sky.

Natalie felt some tightness in her chest but did not dwell on it, merely thinking that the air pressure

might be a little low.

It was a little late by the time she returned home, but Emma was kind enough to leave her some food.

Natalie could not help but ask curiously, “I can just eat alone, Emma. Why did you save me two

portions?”

“One is for you, and one is for Mr. Bowers,” Emma explained.

“Isn't Samuel already home? Did he not have dinner with the children? Why didn't he eat?”

Emma grinned from ear to ear. “I already told him to eat with the children, but he insisted upon waiting

for you to come back and eat together.”

She then added, “I used to complain that Mr. Bowers must be a heartless man as he left so many kids

for you to care for on your own. But now that I think of it, I'm the one who had misjudged him. Your

children have grown, and yet, he pampers you more than he pampers them. This shows that he truly

loves you!”

Emma had experienced quite a lot of ups and downs in life, and yet even she spoke highly of Samuel.

Instead of changing the topic bashfully, Natalie nodded proudly. “Yes! I am very lucky to be able to

meet and marry him!”

Emma responded with a smile, “I'll call Mr. Bowers to come down for dinner then.”

She was about to turn around and go upstairs when she saw Samuel coming downstairs. “It seems that

I don't have to. He's already heading down.”

Emma left after laying out the food.

Natalie held her plate and bit her fork as she asked, “Did you hear what I said to Emma just now?”

“Which part?” Samuel asked with a grin, “Is it the part where you said you're lucky enough to marry

me?”

His precise repetition made her blush instantly.

Still keeping up the pretense, huh? He obviously heard the key phrase, but he's still pretending to ask

which part I'm referring to.

“Why are you asking the obvious?” Natalie pretended to be stern. “I think you just want to bully me!”

“How can I bully you when I love you so much?” Samuel said with a deep gaze, “If you think I bullied

you, you can do the same to me. Be it double, triple, or a hundredfold, I'll allow you to do it without

complaints.”

Natalie muttered, “Samuel, where did you learn to say such words from? Why does it feel like you're

getting better at saying sweet nothings after not seeing you for more than a month?”
