Chapter 854: Chapter 857

Chapter 857 So Wrong About You “You!” Steven was stunned. However, he couldn’t help stealing glances at Luna.

Luna returned his gaze but kept quiet.

After all, the Garcias were indebted to the Bowers. Arlo had told her repeatedly that she had to return the favor before he passed away. The only thing she could do now was to complete the mission Samuel gave her to lighten his burden of being poisoned.

She didn’t have the right to reach out to Steven even though she was reluctant to part with him.

After calming herself down, Luna took a deep breath and looked up at Steven. “Mr. Steven, I’ve accepted your brother’s marriage proposal. I might have done something wrong for you to misunderstand my intentions. The person I liked since I was a kid is Samuel, not you. So I hope you can think of me as your sister-in-law from here on out.”

Steven’s heart wrenched upon her words.

He thought they had something going on between them. He thought she had harbored feelings for him during their time together at the aquarium. He thought he was special to her, as she was to him. It wasn’t until today that he realized he was already emotionally attached to her.

“It’s okay that you don’t like me.” Steven forced a smile and stared at her with conviction. “But have you thought of her? I’m sure they still have lingering feelings for each other after everything. What will you do if Sam regrets his decision one day? Are you sure you still want to stick with him?”

Luna kept up with her act. “Samuel has given me a diamond ring and has cleared things up with Ms. Nichols. I believe he truly loves me. Trust me. He won’t regret his decision with me around. Please don’t worry about me anymore.”

“Hehe.”

Steven sneered.

“Samuel, you b*stard. Learn how to treat a woman right.”

“It’s survival of the fittest,” Samuel said coldly. “Luna chose to be with me instead of you. I chose her instead of Natalie.”

“Samuel! Are you still my brother? How could you say that...”

Steven couldn’t stop himself from cursing. However, Natalie quickly tugged his sleeve. “Steven, stop it.”

“Natalie!”

“It’s pointless.” She looked a little lost after she stopped crying.

Steven kept quiet.

“Let’s go,” Natalie continued. “This is the place where everything started for them. We shouldn’t be here.”

“Samuel, I’ve been so wrong about you,” Natalie sighed before leaving with Steven.

She left right after without a moment’s hesitation.

What the f*ck is going on? Justin thought as he swiveled his head around.

“Samuel, I thought you prepared this marriage proposal for Natalie?” Justin knew better than anyone to who Samuel wanted to propose.

“You’ve misunderstood my intentions,” Samuel mumbled. “I never said it was for her.”

“You!”

Justin finally registered what was going on.

“Haven’t I told you how much Natalie had put herself through to find you the antidote?” Justin frowned. “Samuel, how could you chuck her aside like that even though you don’t find her sexually appealing?”

Samuel hummed in acknowledgment. “It’s my fault, but I don’t want her anymore.”

“Samuel, I’m so disappointed with you!” Justin left right after.

At that moment, Samuel and Luna were the only ones left in the greenhouse.

It wasn’t until then that Samuel finally let go of her hand. He couldn’t hide his pain any longer.

“Luna, I’m so sorry...” he said. “I will explain everything to Steven after I die.”
