A Cue for Love

Chapter 49 The First Meeting After Five Years

With that, Natalie pulled her hand away from Samuel.

“There’s nothing to worry about,” she said as she took the bandage and pressed it onto her wound. “I’m still equipped with medical knowledge despite being a coroner. I know the state of my injury very well.”

Samuel narrowed his eyes as he could sense that Natalie was trying to draw a line between them.

As soon as he approached her, she would distance herself from him.

His concern for her irritated her.

Just how much does this woman dislike me?

If it were not for the presence of Franklin and Sophia, he would like to ask Natalie what was going on in her mind.

The two children did not understand what was happening between the adults. They misinterpreted it as Samuel hurting Natalie while cleaning her wound earlier.

Thus, they proceeded to surrounded Natalie.

“Are you okay, Natalie?” Franklin asked, shooting a resentful look toward Samuel. “He’s a thirty-year-old man, so he acts too presumptuous at times. Don’t let it bother you.”

Sophia could not say anything. However, her eyes were visibly red. She looked like a vulnerable and pitiful bunny.

Natalie was touched by the actions of the children. Slowly, she shook off the mixed emotions she had because of Yara and Samuel.

“Don’t worry, Franklin and Sophia. I’m fine,” she reassured.

Witnessing the change in Natalie’s attitude toward the children, Samuel felt baffled.

She could be as gentle as a lamb when she was with the children. Yet, she always acted like a puffed-up pufferfish in front of him.

The bleeding finally stopped.

Skillfully, Natalie applied some antibiotic cream to her wound.

Soon enough, a feminine voice was heard from the porch.

“Gavin, is Samuel at home?” the voice asked.

“Yes, Mr. Samuel is having his breakfast in the dining room now.”

“I finally got a half-day off, so I rushed here from the filming set. I haven’t had my breakfast yet.”

“Would you like to have it with Mr. Samuel?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Natalie knew the voice very well. It was basically ingrained into her brain.

In the past five years, whenever she had a nightmare about the fire, she would hear every word that Yara had told her before burning her to death.

They were twin sisters. Yet, Yara only wanted Natalie to disappear from this world.

Yara hated her to the core.

Nevertheless, Natalie felt the same toward Yara.

This would be her first time seeing Yara after escaping from the fire.

She bit her lip so hard that it started to bleed.

The footsteps were getting closer.

Expectantly, Yara walked into the dining room She immediately noticed that there was another person there other than her beloved Samuel and the two little devils.

It’s a woman! She’s even sitting on Samuel’s left.

Yara could not see the woman’s face as the latter wasn’t facing her.

Who is she? I’ve never met her before! Why is she having breakfast with Samuel?

The alarm in Yara went off. Yet, she still managed to put on an elegant smile. “Samuel, who’s this?” she asked.

“I’m Natalie Nichols,” Natalie introduced with a cold voice.

Natalie? Yara felt as if she just got struck by lightning.

This voice… This name… It’s her!

Five years ago, that woman had been burnt to crisps in the accident she had plotted.

Yara knew that the dead could not be resurrected, so there was no way the woman before her was the same Natalie. However, hearing the name and that similar voice still shook her to the core.

Her smile froze. Unknowingly, her breathing, too, turned rapid.

On the other hand, Natalie, whose back was facing Yara, had a mocking smile on her face.

She turned around slowly, her eyes filled with sinister delight as she looked at Yara.
