Chapter 865 You Left Me âOkay.â Xanderâs voice was still hoarse. âI can lend you my identity for half a year, but donât go around having any affairs.
Otherwise, Iâd have women pestering me afterward.â
Xander got injured in a fire because of a woman.
âDonât worry, I wonât.â
Samuel had no interest in any woman except for Natalie. He was reluctant to entrust her to him.
âIn return for letting me use your identity, Iâve recruited the most renowned plastic surgeon for you. Half a year later, you can take off the silver mask and reclaim everything that youâve lost from the York family,â suggested Samuel.
Xander clenched his fists. âThank you.â
After leaving the medical facility by the ocean, Samuel received Natalieâs call on the way back.
When he saw the familiar name, Samuel felt like his heart was being pierced. It was a painful feeling.
Afraid that he would become distracted by the call, he stopped the Bentley by the roadside.
âHello?â
âIs it convenient for you to speak now?â asked Natalie. âIâd like to talk to you.â
âI can talk to you in person,â said Samuel.
âNo, itâs fine. Ten minutes is enough. I can make myself clear through the phone, so thereâs no need to meet,â interrupted Natalie coldly. âAlthough I donât think that itâs the end of the world, I donât want to meet you.â
Although Samuel could not see Natalieâs expression, his emotions churned because of what she said.
There were a lot of things he wanted to tell her, but he could not articulate anything.
Eventually, Natalie broke the silence. âIâll move out of the Bowers residence today. Two days later, Iâll move to Loang to work. Iâll bring the five children, including Yumi, with me. In the future, youâll be marrying Ms. Garcia. The kids might be a burden to you, but theyâre precious to me. If you think that you owe me, donât fight with me for the kids. Let them leave with me.â
Natalie expressed her innermost thoughts. The kids were her only soft spot. Although she could lose the love of her life, she must never lose her kids.
âOkay, I agree,â replied Samuel after a long while.
âReally?â
Natalie could barely believe her ears. She thought that Samuel would not let her bring the kids away without a fight, but he agreed so easily.
At that moment, her heart ached terribly.
What is it that could make Samuel let me go and give up custody over the kids so easily?
âAre you hiding something from me, Samuel?â blurted Natalie.
âI did in the past, but not anymore,â replied Samuel solemnly. âThereâs no need to hide anything from you. I owe you this.
Furthermore, after I marry Luna, itâs true that the kids will trouble her if they stay with me.â
Natalie chuckled self-mockingly. âLooks like Iâm overthinking.â
Samuelâs heart ached uncontrollably when he heard her self-deprecating tone. However, when he remembered that he was in no position to do that, all he could do was to grip the steering wheel tightly. The veins in his arms popped out.
Natalie stood underneath the sunset, bathing in the glow of the dusk. She bit her lips so forcefully that they bled.
Even if she was faced with all sorts of hardships and obstacles, she would still be willing to stay by his side.
However, he was willing to use âbetrayalâ as an excuse to chase her away this time. Yet, he was unwilling to reveal anything close to the truth to her.
Even if she wanted to guess, she did not even know where to start.
If Samuel had already decided, there was no way she could win him over.
âSamuel, youâre the one who left me,â spat Natalie, articulating every single word. âI donât want to say, âSee you againâ. Itâs better if we never meet again.â
