All Chapters of The Choices We Made: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

Seeing Samantha's reaction, Nathaniel realized it was completely different from what he had imagined. He had thought Samantha would accept it as a matter of course, but she had not. Instead, she showed strong resistance. His heart churned without rest. He was even deeply disappointed. Displeasure appeared on his face. "Do you no longer want to be mine after seeing Channing and Sydney didn't get married today?" He had been married to Samantha for so long, and he was a normal man. By that logic, after they got the certificate, she should have been his. But because the two had not spent much time together, and Samantha had been in a car accident at ten years old and forgotten him, Nathaniel was still somewhat unfamiliar to her. So, he had spent a long time building feelings with Samantha. But now, he felt it was time after he had held back for too long. Yet Samantha had rejected him without mercy. Of course, he would be angry. This should have been his. "Of course, not."

The fantastic castle looked as if it had been built by magic. How could it be this beautiful? Every full window had an incredible view. Nathaniel's fingers drifted lightly over his clothes, then he looked straight at Samantha. He was signaling Samantha to undo his clothes for him. Samantha raised her eyes toward his collar. Nathaniel had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He wore a severe black suit over a white shirt, with a black tie fastened at his neck. If not for the slight redness of his ears, no one could tell he was the same man who had buried his head against her earlier and told her not to move after he almost lost control. To outsiders, Nathaniel was cold. But toward Samantha, his gaze burned. Often, he would take the initiative first before Samantha acted and she could feel his scorching heart. Samantha was still very satisfied with him. She knew that when they were young, they must have had a very good relationship. She had simply forgotten, because Nathaniel wa

The designs had been specially commissioned too, but Samantha's innocent, interesting words made him laugh outright. His cold expression changed, showing a brilliant smile. Who would not want to be admired by the woman they loved? As they were preparing to leave, the two Aridan soldiers mentioned that there was a private Geode Gambling event that night. Nathaniel asked Samantha whether she wanted to take a look. Samantha nodded. She had never seen one and was very curious, so she wanted to broaden her horizons. At seven that night, a bulletproof military vehicle stopped at the hotel entrance on time. Samantha changed into a simple black dress. Nathaniel said she did not need an evening gown, so she did not deliberately dress up. Nathaniel, however, changed into a dark gray linen shirt. The cuffs were casually rolled to his forearms, revealing his lean, powerful wrists. On his right wrist was a mechanical watch worth tens of millions. His whole appearance was casual yet

When the first cut went down, there was nothing. Before the man with gold-rimmed glasses could finish with his scornful smile, the second cut came. The moment the sawblade cut open the shell, a breathtaking light shone out from the pale gray interior. It gave off a rich, glossy color under the light. The stonecutter's hand shook, and he almost cut the rock crookedly. He quickly turned off the machine and poured water over it to rinse the cut surface. The entire hall went quiet for an instant, then exploded. "Did you see the color? It's so dark and rich!" "It has a rainbow hue... The play-of-color was remarkable!" "You're telling me there's something like that came from Morsha Mine? Are you kidding me?" Everyone surged forward and surrounded the cutting table so tightly that no one could squeeze through. The man with gold-rimmed glasses, who had just looked scornful a moment ago, squeezed to the very front. His glasses were almost pressed against the rock, and his ex

"It was…Batori of the Quina Gang…" the bald man stammered. Then he dropped to his knees and begged for mercy. "I didn't know it was you. I really didn't know. Please spare my life…" Nathaniel did not look at him again. He turned and said a few words to the major general, his voice low enough that only the major general could hear. After hearing him, the major general nodded and gestured to the helicopters overhead. The helicopters changed direction and flew down the mountain. Soon, dense gunfire came from the night. Flames rose into the sky, illuminating half the mountain in bright lights and fire. Samantha sat in the car and watched all of this through the window. Her heart was still racing. Not from fear, but from an indescribable shock. She had always known Nathaniel was no ordinary businessman, but she had never known his power was great enough to mobilize helicopters and troops deep in the mountains of Ariland and even wipe out a local armed force that had occupied t
