A Cue For Happiness Chapter 124

Chapter 124 He Savored Her

Natalie was still clueless despite racking her brain for a very long time. Eventually, she gave up tryingto recall if she had previously met Kenneth.

Even if she had encountered him before, Natalie felt it was likely for a mere passing moment.

Else, she would have remembered him instead of feeling that he looked vaguely familiar.

While Natalie was still deep in thought, Billy brought over a takeout box adorned in intricate packaging.On the box was the restaurant’s name —Acapella.

As soon as he opened the takeout box’s lid, some delectable-looking seabass and shrimp came intoview. The food’s tantalizing aroma wafted over to Natalie, arousing her appetite.

She hurriedly grabbed the cutleries and was about to pick up a piece of seabass meat. However,Samuel snatched the fork from her hand.

“Samuel, what are you-”

“Who said you could dig in?” He cast a sideways glance at her before casually adding, “I’ll decide whenyou can eat this food.”

Upon hearing that, Natalie’s eyes widened in disbelief. This wicked man wants me, an injured patient,to sit here and starve while watching him gobble all this food? How dare he!

“You may head home now, Billy. Bring the files on the couch with you.”

“Yes, Sir.”

After Billy did so and left, Samuel placed the takeout box on the coffee table near the couch and pickedup a set of cutlery.

Natalie refused to sit idly by and watch him savor the food. Hence, she turned in the other directionwhile searching for an online novel on her phone before settling down to read.

Shortly after reading ten chapters of the novel, she heard Samuel’s magnetic voice emanating frombehind her.

He said, “You may eat now.”

What? Natalie did not quite believe what she had heard.

As she turned around, her gaze settled on the twelve neatly arranged prawns that had their shellspeeled off. Even the seabass had gotten sliced into ready-to-eat, bite-sized chunks.

Samuel even removed the seabass’ bones, leaving only its snow-white and buttery flesh that glistened.

Natalie’s heart skipped a beat at that sight.

She had never experienced such extent of care before. Thus, she could not help but feel a littleflabbergasted.

“Don’t you want to eat?” Samuel raised a brow and teased, “Or are you waiting for me to feed you?”

“N-No…”

At once, Natalie grabbed the cutleries and shoved a prawn into her mouth.

Even the black vein that ran down the back of every prawn had gotten cleared. A burst of freshnessand sweetness erupted in Natalie’s mouth as she chewed on the prawn’s tender meat.

Her gaze lifted to meet with Samuel’s eyes.

Meanwhile, the latter placed a hand on his temple while gazing affectionately at Natalie.

At that, the latter’s heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably. Samuel’s skin is as dewy and flawlessas always. Gosh, I’m pretty sure any woman would melt into a puddle if they stood before this intensegaze that he’s giving me right now.

It felt as though he was savoring every inch of her body, like how she was enjoying the juicy prawns.

“Samuel.” Natalie swallowed before continuing, “Umm… How about I set you up on a date withsomeone?”

Deep down, she did not want to let herself fall for Samuel, nor did she want him to waste his time onher.

Natalie was aware that they were from utterly different worlds, and there was no way they could betogether.

After a brief pause, she resumed speaking. “I can introduce you to a respectable woman. Her familybackground may not be as great as yours, but she’s good-looking and very well-behaved-”

Samuel’s features darkened to a murderous shade as he interrupted, “Is that really what you think ofme? That I’m someone who’s desperate for women?”

Hearing that, Natalie did not know how to respond.

Not a single word came from her lips as her eyes locked on Samuel.

“You don’t have to drop any more hints at me.” Samuel cast a vicious gaze while stating, “I refuse to bewith some random woman. That’s not the man I am. Besides, you of all people should know who it is I

desire.”

A chilly aura radiated from him with every word he uttered. Right after, he turned to leave the ward.

While watching him leave, Natalie’s lips pursed into a self-deprecating smile.

She knew that she could not give him what he wanted.

The fire five years ago had almost burned everything she had, including her ability to trust others.

She felt that she could never fall in love with anyone else for the rest of her life.
