Chapter 59
Beatrix handed the card to Shelmaine, and when she looked at it, there was just a single line of text that read, “For Shelmaine.”
There was no signature, and Shelaine was puzzled. For some reason, she thought of Julien. Could he have sent these?
Not wanting to dwell on the thought of him, she said, “Don’t accept any flowers that don’t have a clear sender. Just reject them.”
“Huh? Reject them outright? Bass, don’t you want them?”
“No, I don’t. We have no idea who it was from, and even if we do, I still don’t want them. I don’t accept flowers at all.”
Shelmaine went back to her office. She wracked her brain and couldn’t figure out who had so much time on their hands to use such tactics.
Since Shelmaine had said she didn’t want them, Beatrix had no choice but to reject another bouquet of flowers that arrived in the afternoon with a heavy heart.
After rejecting the flowers, Beatrix hesitated but eventually told Shelmaine
Shelmaine was busy sketching and didn’t even look up. She just gave a quick bum in acknowledgement and continued her work.
Samuel, who had returned to South Haven, went to Natasha’s place. It was a place he had arranged for her to recuperate,
As soon as Natasha saw him, she immediately threw himself at him, hugging his waist and burying her face in his chest. Her voice was soft and weak as she said, “I missed you so moch. Why were you away for so long? Were you really busy with work?
Samuel calmly removed her hands and took a step back, creating some distance between them.
He wasn’t particularly fond of physical contact with her, but the look on his face remained unchanged as he said, “Brody mentioned you weren’t feeling well. Why don’t you go to the hospital
Natasha sensed the distance he put between them. A heavy disappointment weighed on her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it. “I just missed you so much.” Samuel didn’t respond, seemingly having nothing more to say. He added after a pause, “Don’t take your health lightly.”
“I know, but I just miss you so much. I got a little restless and can’t control my emotions. I’m sorry..
“There’s no need to apologize to me. You should think more about yourself,” he said.
“But I just miss you. You’re all I have now. Pete’s gone..
Mentioning Peter reminded Samuel of the accident. He closed his eyes briefly and pushed the memory away. “I know. That’s why I’ll take care of you in his place.” “In his place? But..”
“Let’s not talk about that. Have you eaten?”
Natasha nodded. “Have you? I can get the housekeeper to make you something.”
“No, I’m not hungry. Thave some other things to do later.
“So you’re not Estaying with me?”
Samuel replied coldly, “thework”
Natasha bit her Ep, looking hurt and sad understand. Go ahead then.”
Samuel didn’t say much more. He just reminded her to rest well and left.
As soon as he left, Natasha immediately called Elana. She didn’t tell Eliana anything, but Elana asked her what was wrong and if Samuel was mean to her again
Natasha denied in. “No, Sammy did nothing. It’s my fault, I feel like I’ve been aburden to him.”
“You silly girl, what are you talking about? Peter’s gone, so Samuel has the responsibility to take care of you is he neglecting you lately? Let me call and talk to him. Don’t worry “Eliana, please don’t–te’s very busy. Team see that he’s very tired, and I’m just wonted..”
