Chapter 320 Am I That Attractive
Four pairs of beady little eyes regarded her with identical expressions of worry.
Clayton leaned over. “Mommy, your face looks really red. Are you all right?”
“Are you unwell, Mommy?” Franklin appeared anxious.
Even greedy little Sophia lowered her fork. “Where does it hurt? Do you need to see a doctor?”
The culprit is seated right next to me!
Samuel held his temples with his free hand and gazed at her with amusement as if he too was feeling
concerned about her wellbeing.
Though his large hand was grasping her smaller one tightly beneath the table, his lips maintained that
carefree smile.

“I-I’m fine,” Natalie said with a nervous chuckle as she fanned herself. “The air’s a little stale, that’s all.
Are we almost done, children? I’ll get the bill.”
With another fierce glare at Samuel, she ordered him wordlessly to let go of her.
As she got to her feet, Samuel obliged and let her hand slide out of his.
With a gait a little more hurried than necessary, Natalie strode toward the cashier.
Samuel gazed at her silhouette and felt his smile becoming broader.
Without much thought in the act, he reached for Natalie’s unfinished cup of latte and placed his lips on
where hers had been, and took a sip.
The only sugar this cup of latte needed is the touch of her lips. Mmm, perfection.
Franklin pouted in disapproval.
“Daddy, why don’t you order your own instead of drinking Natalie’s coffee?”
“Wastage is a sin,” Samuel answered simply. “One cup is just the right amount for the both of us.”
At the cashier, Natalie was busy extracting her purse. Though card payments were becoming more
common, Natalie still preferred paying by cash.
“The bill, please.”
“A hundred and twenty-eight in total.” As the cashier, a young girl in a khaki-colored apron, waited for
Natalie to rummage through her purse, she heaved a sigh of admiration. “What an adorable group of
children you have there! Are you the nanny employed by the children’s father to care for them?”
Natalie frowned and gazed up at the cashier.
However, the cashier did not get the hint and carried on chattering.
“What a handsome man he is! Could he be their father, though? He seems a little young! How did you
become their nanny, by the way? I wouldn’t mind trying my luck for the interview. Do you have his contact
details? Can you give them to me?”
In your dreams, little girl. You’re supposed to be at work, by the way. Not daydreaming.
Natalie was about to interrupt the cashier when Samuel’s voice came from behind.
“Billy, acquire this shop tomorrow.”

“Yes, Mr. Bowers.”
Samuel and Billy stood behind Natalie when she turned around in surprise.
Samuel’s gaze was cold. The aura he was emanating sent a chill down the cashier’s spine.
“W-Why?” she stammered in disbelief. “I didn’t offend you!”
“Impertinence.” Samuel narrowed his eyes and under the cashier’s stupefied gaze, took hold of Natalie’s
hand and pulled her close against him.
The cashier finally realized her mistake albeit too late. That’s not their nanny. That’s his woman!
Samuel disliked listening to the gossip of people who did not matter. With an arm around Natalie’s waist,
the couple strode off in the direction of the children.
Natalie gazed up and studied Samuel thoughtfully.
With such chiseled features and such a domineering presence, it’s no wonder that women simper over
him wherever he goes.
Samuel sensed Natalie’s gaze upon him.
“Am I that attractive for you to be staring at me all day, Nat?” he said softly, his low voice reverberating
pleasantly in her ears.
