Chapter 842
Natalie knew Yana bore no ill will in asking about her future marriage plans.
As her godsister, Yana merely wished to know when Samuel and Natalie would officially become husband and wife.
Nonetheless, it did not seem as though marriage was on the immediate horizon for Natalie.
As such, Natalie answered candidly, “We don't have any plans at the moment.”
Yana had assumed that they did not publicize news of their marriage for privacy, yet she was surprised to learn that
Samuel had not proposed to Natalie at all.
She hastily replied, “I was just curious, Natalie.”
“Don't worry. I won't read too much into it.” Natalie nodded reassuringly before meeting Yara's gaze and adding,
“Samuel and I have been through a lot together, Yana. He's the one for me. A marriage certificate is just a piece of
paper to me. I don't need it to prove our commitment to one another.”

Samuel's feelings and sincerity toward her were more important than any of those formalities.
Yana grasped her hand and uttered, “I've been through a lot to gain you as a younger sister. I just want you to be
happy and safe.”
“I will.” Natalie smiled and nodded.
After their meal, they left the shopping mall.
The overprotective Hans was already waiting to pick Yana up at the shopping mall entrance.
Natalie bid Yana farewell before returning to the Bowers residence.
Justin happened to be in, and he was so absorbed in a phone call that he did not hear Natalie entering.
At that moment, he continued chatting on the phone, “I can't come back yet. Samuel's going to propose soon, and
I'm helping to decorate the venue. He's treating your poor brother like a slave. The decorations should be up by
next week. I'll come back to Livingsfill then.”
Natalie could easily hear every word of his phone conversation.
After hanging up on his call to his sister, Justin turned around and immediately saw Natalie standing not far behind
him. He was so surprised that he almost dropped his phone.
“W-When did you come in?” Justin silently prayed that Natalie had not heard anything as it would ruin Samuel's
surprise.
Natalie shot him a cheeky smile and drawled, “Oh, right about the time you mentioned helping Samuel to decorate
the proposal venue.”
Instantly, Justin panicked.
D*mn it! This is a disaster! Samuel has been keeping the proposal venue decoration under wraps to give Natalie a
surprise! He's going to kill me now that Natalie has heard all about it from my big mouth before the decorations are
even complete!
He pasted on an awkward smile and sputtered, “You must have misheard me!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I didn't!” Natalie smiled and insisted, “I heard everything clearly. You said the decorations would be done in a week,
allowing you to leave Dellmoor and return to Livingsfill.”
Justin knew then that he was doomed.
Nonetheless, Justin made a last-ditch attempt to save himself. He clasped his hands together in desperation and
pleaded, “My dear future sister-in-law, could you please keep this piece of knowledge to yourself? He really wants
to surprise you, and all his efforts will be down the drain if you know about it. He's going to kill me for this! You have
no idea what lengths Samuel has gone to in order to give you an unforgettable proposal. The landscape architects
and I are struggling to keep up with his fantastical ideas.”
Natalie's heart warmed after hearing Justin's pleas.
The proposal was one thing, yet it was Samuel's effort and love that touched her.
He has always been like this! He doesn't say a thing but tries to give me the best of everything!
With that thought in mind, Natalie walked toward Justin and patted his shoulder. She reassured him, “Don't worry,
Justin! I can keep a secret.”
“You said so yourself! Don't rat me out!” Justin felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. “Just pretend you
don't know anything and wait for Samuel's surprise! Though you already know about his preparations, I guarantee
you'll still be bowled over by the actual event.”
