A Cue for Love Chapter 998 Reverse Psychology 2 Because Samuelâs kiss on Natalieâs lips were overly vigorous, she tried to avoid him. However, the man clasped his hand on the back of her head, forbidding her to shrink away.
His kiss was so intense it was as if he was a ferocious wolf who could not wait to devour her.
And that continued for a long, long timeâ¦
Only after the man was satisfied did he let go of Natalie. On the other hand, the latter was still gasping for fresh air because of that passionate yet suffocating kiss.
Even with the mask on, the man could not bring himself to inch closer to Natalie earlier.
But now, he grasped her body tightly and rubbed his face against her skin affectionately. The familiar fragrance of herbs on her body lingered on the tip of his nose. He had utilized every ounce of his willpower to tame down the wild thought of amalgamating her body into his.
Burying his head in her warm and soft neck, Samuel rubbed his face intimately and mumbled in a low and raspy voice, âYouâre acting too audacious because you know I love you very much. Youâre making me lose my rationality and succumb to my desires in front of youâ¦â
Natalie chuckled. âSo, you finally decide to open up to me? Why did you collude with Luna to put up such a show in front of me? Donât think about lying to me. You should know that Iâm not easy to fool.
Now that I have my doubts against you, finding the truth will only be a matter of time even if you choose not to say anything.â
A scowl appeared on Samuelâs face at once.
He assumed that by wearing the silver mask and using the persona of Xander, Natalie would not find out about his identity. Even if she could, that would only happen after a long time. Little did he imagine that he would be exposed so quickly.
So, should I come clean or not?
There was a turmoil of emotions in the depths of his eyes as he pursed his lips together so tightly they turned ashen in color.
Natalie reached out and held Samuel by his chin.
âYouâ¦â He stared at her in disbelief.
âJudging from how youâre unwilling to say anything, Iâm pretty sure it has got something to do with me.â
Sincerity filled Natalieâs gaze. âWhy do you not want to tell me? You better not assume that youâre doing me good by doing that, Samuel! Weâve been through thick and thin all this while. Even though Iâm not powerful enough to ensure that all plans are infallible, Iâm not a weakling who needs someone to take care of me. Tell me the truth. I will stay by your side no matter what, okay?â
Since Samuel was unwilling to reveal the truth to her, Natalie decided to pull out her trump card.
In the end, in the dark eyes of Samuel, the emotions he pent up within him condensed into rays of glint.
I guess the odds of me winning against Natalie are too low.
Knowing that he could not possibly wrestle against her insistence, Samuel asked, âHave I never told you the reason why I had asked to be Masterâs disciple?â
âNo.â Natalie shook her head.
âYou became Masterâs disciple to improve your medical skills so that you can save lives and heal the wounded. As for me, itâs because Grandpa wants to be in a favorable position before requesting Master to get my health back in shape.â
âWhat?â Natalie seemed a little overwhelmed.
Lowering his gaze, Samuel continued, âSilas is my uncle, and so is Stanley. Back then, Uncle Stanley drugged me with a potent poison while the Bowers familyâs internal strife got intense. When Grandpa took me to Master, I was on the brink of deathâ¦â It seemed a little difficult for the man to continue speaking. âMaster managed to suppress the toxins in my body with medicine and saved my life.
However, he only managed to extend my life by three years. Knowing that the Garcia family has stronger expertise in expelling poison, Master handed my case over to Lunaâs grandpa. Taking pity on me, Old Mr. Garcia put in a lot of effort and used numerous expensive and precious medicinal herbs to suppress the toxins in my body to ensure that I could live a longer life.â
Following that was a moment of dead silence.
The emotions glinting in that pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes faded into nothing.
Samuel did not continue with the rest of his sentence. Yet, a sudden revelation dawned upon the lady who was well proficient in the area of medicine.
âCould it possibly have something to do with the aging drug?â A chilly aura emanated from Natalieâs body as she probed. âThe toxicity in your body shouldâve long achieved a balance. Is it because of a trigger that is causing the toxins in your body to act up earlier than expected?â
