Chapter 294 Samuel’s Confession
The Navarros organized the celebration in their own home. The entirety of their mansion, inside and outside, was lit up brightly and decorated vividly
Emelie and Samuel walked out of the banquet hall and reached the garden. Samuel found the wind to be too strong and noticed that Emelie was wearing only a sleeveless gown. He was worried that she would catch a cold.
So, he said, “You’ve already made an appearance to Mrs. Matilda. We can leave first Let me send you home.”
Emelie shook her head “Give it some more time. The banquet isn’t even half done.”
No one might notice it if she left now, but she was used to being considerate and respectful in all aspects. She wouldn’t do anything that would open her to criticism.
Samuel then wrapped the jacket he put around her even tighter. He walked over to where the wind was blowing from to block them
He lowered his head to look at her face and asked, “You look very tired. Is it because you have no time to rest because of how busy you are with work?”
“I just joined the company. I’m still getting familiar with the work so I’m busier than usual. But it’s going to get easier as I get used to it,” Emelie said without complaining. She could still accept this level of work
Samuel then said, “You need to watch your health, too. I’ll check with Nehemiah and see if there are any herbal concoctions he knows of. If you don’t have time to make them, 1 can do it for you. I’ll be staying home during the winter holidays anyway and I’m free, I can deliver it to you once I’m done “
“I don’t think it would be right for me to bother you like that
“I’m willing to do it for you”
Emelie smiled. “You’re a kind man, Mr. Swanson. But if I accept it with ease, then I’ll be the one crossing the line.”
What kind of relationship would they be in if she let Samuel do that for her?
Samuel could only stare at her after she said that.
He was trying to tell her something using the silence.
Emelie bit her lips.
They continued to keep in touch online after they returned from Wimstour City. But tonight was the first time they had seen each other in person in a long time.
Samuel asked her out for dinner a few times and she kept saying that she was busy. While she was indeed busy, she wasn’t so busy that she didn’t even have time to have a meal with him
If she were to be frank, she was avoiding him.
The reason she was avoiding him wasn’t because she was hiding her other self from him. She was telling the truth when she refuted William in the car that day. She didn’t care about what set Samuel apart because he would never hurt her,
The reason that Emelie couldn’t face Samuel was because she knew that Samuel was interested in her, but he continued to see her unable to completely sever her ties with William.
If it wasn’t because of the birth control pills, it was the call after they didir. She didn’t know how she could continue her muddled relationship with him in such conditions.
But as expected of a university professor, Samuel had both high and EQ He didn’t even need to hear what Emelie had to say to know what she was worried about.
He lowered his head and looked at Emelie Between being in direct and being track, bechose the latter.
“Don’t hide from me, Emelle. I know you I’m ready to bear the responsibility together with you, be the issue you or your family. I’m not a young man and I know very well what I want. I’m here tonight because I knew you were going to be here at the banquet.
“Since I’m here for you, then I have no reservations about whatever it is that you’re concerned about. That’s why you don’t have to worry about it for my sake”
She thought that he would be concerned about her and William. But now, he stood in front of her and told her that he didn’t mind.
It would be a lie to say that Emelie felt nothing from that sincere and emotional confession
Samuel was a very good man. He had accompanied her when her dad was locked up behind bars, when her mother fell sick, and during the days she was blacklisted and couldn’t find a job.
She was really thankful for him and was in awe that a good man like him still existed.
He was like a pearl that shone in spite of the depths of the dark ocean.
What he said tonight was the same as confessing. All Emelie needed to do was to nod and they could be together.
Will stood by the windows on the second floor and looked at the pair of wild “lovebirds” below with cold eyes. He could hear everything they were saying
He wanted to know loo
