Chapter 344 Heartbreak
Hearing that, Natalie clenched the sheets beneath her.
She did not expect Samuel to care about her status.
It did not matter to her, but she still felt touched that he would do that for her.
She considered his invitation.
Then, she turned around to face Samuel. Taking the initiative, she leaned forward to give Samuel a peck
on the corner of his lips.
“I promise that I will attend the banquet with you.”
“That’s great,” Samuel replied.
The intimate move she made had aroused him again.
He gulped and ended up holding her head to kiss her once more.
He kissed her affectionately and gently, enjoying the taste of her soft lips.
That night, they felt like they were floating blissfully in a dream.
Soon, the day of the banquet arrived.

tugged on it.
As it was too painful, she sucked in few breaths.
“You’re going to spoil it if you keep tugging at it.” Samuel’s low voice sounded behind her, and she could
feel his hands trying to help with her tangled hair.
“Is this dress expensive?” Natalie pensively probed.
“Are you worried about the dress?” Samuel narrowed his eyes and gently nibbled on Natalie’s earlobe.
“Who cares about that? I’m more concerned about your hair. After all, I own every part of you. My heart
will break if you get hurt.”
Unsure of how to reply and afraid that Samuel would mess up her makeup by kissing her, Natalie fussed,
“Hurry up! Otherwise, we will be late.”
“Okay.”
At once, Samuel stopped teasing her. After he unraveled the knots, he helped her zip her dress up.
This time, Kenneth had planned the banquet for Samuel’s third uncle, Silas.
Naturally, Kenneth’s beloved grandchild, Sophia, and Franklin had to attend it too.
Initially, Samuel planned to bring Xavian and Clayton along, but Natalie rejected his idea. She might be
confident in protecting them, but she did not want to subject them to the harsh looks of the crowd.
Although she treated Samuel’s family with respect, that doesn’t mean that she would give them a chance
to hurt Xavian and Clayton
Knowing her good intentions, the boys did not fuss about it and obediently stayed home.
Meanwhile, Franklin and Sophia changed into their outfits.
Franklin wore a black tuxedo with a red bow tie around his neck, and he looked like a mini gentleman.
On the other hand, Sophia wore a white tutu dress that made her seem like a blooming flower. She also
had a pearl headdress that made it seem as though she had turned into a little princess who walked out
from a fairytale.
Billy was already waiting outside in the Lincoln.
“Sir, we can go now.”
With that, the four of them piled into the car.

In the back row, Samuel and Natalie looked chic as the neon lights from outside shone on their faces.
While fiddling with Natalie’s hand, Samuel asked, “Are you nervous?”
“No.” Natalie pursed her lips and mumbled, “But I do feel slightly uneasy.”
“It’s okay. Even if the sky crumbles, I’ll be here for you,” Samuel assured her.
“Of course!” Natalie grinned. “You’re tall, so it makes sense for you to hold up the sky.”
Hearing Natalie’s witty response, Franklin’s thoughts drifted to Kenneth and his bias toward Yara. He
was worried that they would bully Natalie during the banquet.
In a protective tone, the little boy interrupted their conversation. “That’s right, don’t worry. I will be there
for you too! Daddy is the head of the Bowers family now, and it’ll be my turn to lead in the future. No one
can touch you as long as I’m alive!”
Meanwhile, Sophia could not make any grand promise like what her father and brother did and felt left
out. In the end, she could only puff out her chest and affirm, “I can do it too! Mommy, if anyone dares to
bully you, I will be your shield!”
