The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 1231

At the same time, in the dressing room, Luna was done with her bridesmaid makeup and was helping Natalie, the female lead of today's wedding, put on her veil.

Luna took great care to fix the veil on Natalie's hair to avoid it being blown messily by the gusty sea breeze.

Natalie started to feel fidgety after sitting still for a while and began to tease Luna to ease her boredom.

“Luna, how are things with you and Steven?” Natalie asked with an anticipated expression.

Upon hearing that, Luna lost concentration and accidentally pushed the hairpin too deep into Natalie's scalp.

“Hiss...”

Luna regained her senses when she heard Natalie hiss in pain. She hurriedly apologized, “Natalie, are you all right? I-I did not do that on purpose...”

“I'm fine. Carry on.” Natalie reassured her and wanted to continue the topic.

It could not be helped that she had a new identity now—Steven's sister-in-law—so it was inevitable that she had to show some concern. This was because she saw how Steven was head over heels for Luna. Yet, he was not taking any action to progress further with her. That made Natalie very anxious.

By right, for such a playboy like Steven, she would not need to worry about him being unable to court a girl.

Alas, when God decided to transform Steven into a faithful and loyal man, he seemed to have taken his courting skills away too.

“Luna, you haven't answered my earlier question!” Natalie was not willing to give up.

“Erm, about Mr. Steven and I...” Luna once again focused on her hands and replied indifferently, “There's nothing between us, and it's impossible for us to start anything. Mr. Samuel previously planted the seed as part of the act I was involved in. I'm only a physician engaged by the Bowers family to help Mr. Samuel with his poisoning. Our Garcia family is not the only family engaged by the Bowers family for this purpose. There are others, such as the Jean family, whom you have met before.”

“The Jean family?”

“Mm.” Luna nodded. “However, a year ago, I heard the Jean family seemed to have offended someone influential. Not only did the Bowers family cut off all ties with them, but they also chased them out of Chanaea and ensured they did not return.”

Natalie tried to recall, but there was not a deep impression. She vaguely remembered a female physician with the family name Jean, who once chided her for causing Samuel to get hurt.

Back then, Natalie felt this physician had no manners. But now, when she came to think of it, perhaps she was partly to blame. Samuel's body constitution was different and required extra care. Any injury or stimulation might cause the poison within his body to mutate. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, after hearing what Luna said, Natalie had a feeling she might have had some involvement in the Jean family being chased out of Chanaea a year ago...

Natalie chuckled dryly. I must be imagining things. That's right. I'm overthinking; that's what it is!

Natalie decided to stop thinking about Celia and the Jean family and returned to the main point of the conversation. “Luna, what's this talk about what's possible and what's not? Look at me. Samuel and I once thought it was impossible between us, but didn't we manage to achieve the impossible? Steven is not as playful as he looks. It's just that he had been well-protected by his brother all this while, resulting in his immature personality. But now, he realized he needed to grow and become a man like his brother. That would not happen overnight; he needs time to break through his shell. Luna, the reason I'm saying this isn't because I hope that you'd be more proactive or achieve positive results with Steven. I'm only hoping you can give this man an opportunity and some time. I believe in Steven; he will not disappoint me and not let you wait in vain.”

Those were Natalie's heartfelt words. After expressing her thoughts, Natalie felt she had fulfilled her role as the sister-in-law.
