Chapter 659 Not Up To The Mind To Decide
Samuel had always assumed that Natalie had not detected anything because she was slow to realize.
However, it was suddenly apparent to him that the woman had been rejecting that possibility
subconsciously in order to avoid disappointment.
“Sorry…” he said in a deep voice.
“What are you apologizing for?” Natalie blinked away the tears in her eyes and smiled. “Nothing worth
having comes easy. Now that I have Xavian, Clayton, Franklin, Sophia, and… you, I’m already extremely
contented!”
Even though she was beaming from ear to ear when she said that, Samuel could not help but feel a
sharp ache in his heart as he looked at her.
He could feel his heart breaking for Natalie.
Suddenly, he hated himself for being so stupid, and not realizing earlier that Yara was not the woman
from six years back. If he had discovered it back then, he could have reunited with Natalie earlier, and

“It will be the kids’ birthdays in a few days’ time. It’s the first time we will be having a birthday celebration
with everyone present!” Natalie cupped Samuel’s face in her hand and smiled widely. “Did you know…
such a scenario is something I’ve never dared to imagine in the past. From now onward, we have to
spend all of their birthdays together!”
“Sure…”
Although Natalie was smiling happily, Samuel could not bring himself to feel happy at all.
He tightened his embrace around the woman, hugging her with all his might to the point that Natalie felt
slightly suffocated.
Nonetheless, she did not move. She stayed in his arms obediently and savored his affection quietly.
If she had not met Samuel, she would probably still be that strong woman who always had her guard up.
Natalie was relieved that things had turned out the way they did.
The couple started kissing passionately again. Romance lingered in the air while sounds of heavy
breathing filled the room.
The next day, Samuel set off for a business trip to Loang while Natalie worked from home.
When it was almost evening, Natalie received a call from Yandel.
“Boss, can you attend this evening’s Shine Charity Gala on my behalf?” he asked anxiously.
“Huh?” Natalie was slightly taken aback as it was always Yandel who represented Dream at such charity
events.
“You should know that an event like Shine Charity Gala would help to strengthen Dream’s presence in
the industry. If no one from Dream turns up, or if we send an ordinary employee to represent us, the
media or public might interpret it the wrong way,” Yandel explained. “I have something… urgent to deal
with tonight, so… I don’t think I’ll be able to go…”
Although Natalie did not like attending such events that required her to be in the public eye, it wasn’t
something she hated to the core.
“Did something happen?” Natalie was more concerned about Yandel, wondering if he had encountered

She was met with silence from the other end of the line.
Half a minute later, Yandel finally spoke. “Amelia is sick. She is running a high fever and has been drifting
in and out of sleep. She keeps holding my hand and refuses to let me leave… Boss, I…”
Natalie understood Yandel’s inner struggle and interrupted him. “I understand. I’ll go instead. You should
stay and take care of Amelia. She’s unfamiliar with Chanaea and doesn’t know anyone else here. If you
leave her alone, she’ll be no different from stray cats on the streets.”
“I know.”
“Remember to send me the relevant details.”
After hanging up, Natalie glanced at her phone and shook her head, feeling amused.
It did not seem possible that a sick woman who was not fully conscious would be able to restrain a
strong grown man. It was clear to her that it was not Amelia who was holding Yandel back, but Yandel
himself.
Even though the man had decided that he should not love Amelia and that they were not a good match
for each other, when it came to love, it wasn’t up to the mind to decide.
