Chapter 266
Phoebe was someone who would never let her emotions show on her face. Hence, regardless of how
envious she was of Natalie, she did not express it openly.
However, Susan was the exact opposite. She had been the apple of the eye among the Leister family
and had been well adored since young.
Her love for Samuel had bloomed since her prime of youth. She had given up previously as she thought
she had lost to the twinsâ mother. But now that she saw Samuel kissing someone whom she had never
seen before, she could no longer suppress the burning rage within her.
âWhy is it her? Why canât it be me? Iâm better than her in every way. Why did Samuel choose her instead
of me? Susan was seething with anger.
âPerhaps she made use of peculiar tactics to seduce Mr. Bowers?â
âIâm sure that is it!â Even though Susanâs voice sounded sweet, her eyes were full of vicious intent. âIf I
canât get Samuel, I wonât let that woman get him either! Iâll make sure her reputation is ruined at my party
tonight!â
âSusan, you...â
âYou have to help me, Phoebe.â
Meanwhile, Samuel reluctantly let go of Natalieâs lips and rested his forehead against hers while
adjusting his heavy breathing. The kiss did not last too long despite it being a passionate one.
Natalie was not faring any better either. She was panting heavily, trying to catch her breath.
âHâHow can you do that? YâYouâre being unreasonable.â
âYouâre so attractive that other men are covering you. If I donât assert dominance, youâll be taken away by
other men sooner or later.â Samuel leaned close to her ear and whispered.
Natalie could not wrap her head around Samuelâs behavior.
All she knew was Hectorâs wine, which she supposedly would receive as a gift, had disappeared for good
because of him.
10:01 OO.

âMy wine...
Among the vast number of interests, one of Natalieâs favorite was savoring good wine.
Knowing that she had such an interest, Yandel had searched many good wines for her throughout the
years. But of course, no one would complain about having too much wine! At the thought of how she had
missed a bottle of precious wine by a hairâs breadth, she felt crushed by disappointment that even her
gazes dimmed.
âYou love wine that much?â
âMmm.â Natalie nodded. âOf course, we should enjoy it while we can. Savoring a good wine is like
savoring merriment in life.â
âNot only do the Leister family have a winery in Livingsfill. I have a private one too,â Samuel uttered.
âOh!â Natalie was startled for a tad moment before she could react.
âDo you own a lot of good wine in your winery too?â Her eyes lit up at the mention of good wines.
Seeing her expression, Samuel unknowingly curled his lips up into a smile. âFrom this moment on, the
winery is yours.â
A bottle of wine? And the whole winery?
Immediately, her sorrow, as well as the embarrassment from Samuelâs sudden kiss earlier, had vanished
into the air.
âAre you sure?â
âNo.â Samuel deliberately said the opposite.
âStop lying to me. Iâve heard you clearly earlier. You said the winery is mine.â Natalie smiled so brightly
her eyes narrowed. âHehe! All of the wine in that winery belongs to me now!â
âItâs all yours, on one condition.â
âWhat is it?â Natalie stared at him curiously
âFrom now on, you can only get drunk while you are with me.â Samuel gently tucked
10:01 OO.

Natalieâs messy hair behind her ear while fixing his gaze intently on her. âIâm the only one allowed to see
your drunk look, but no one else. I donât care if they are men or women.â
Natalieâs heart was pounding wildly.
She could feel Samuelâs possessiveness toward her.
Isnât this man acting way too aggressive?
But even so, she did not feel suffocated by his overwhelming affection. On the contrary, she appreciated
the manâs tender love, care, and protection for her.
âSamuel, thank you.â
