All Chapters of The Choices We Made: Chapter 341 - Chapter 350

When Samantha snapped back at Katarina earlier, Sydney had not defended Katarina at all… Even when Katarina was at the edge of losing control in her fury. It was at that time that Katarina realized Sydney was afraid to openly challenge Samantha. More precisely, she was afraid of Nathaniel. Seeing Katarina's impatience, Sydney stopped circling around the subject. "Katarina, do you like my cousin Nathaniel?" Katarina paused. She could speak freely with Hunter and admit she wanted Nathaniel for herself, but saying it in front of an outsider was different. There was nothing admirable about chasing a man who was already with someone else. Katarina had always thought highly of herself, after all. A woman as beautiful and desirable as she was supposed to be pursued, not seen fighting another woman over a man. So, she planned to seduce Nathaniel quietly and make him fall for her first. Then he could leave Samantha and pursue Katarina on his own. Now that Sydney had said it alou

"Anything you want," Nathaniel said as he looked at Samantha, smiling softly. He was not just indulging her. Instead, he meant every word. He would still agree even if Samantha asked him to play the most childish game imaginable. Samantha suddenly understood something. Nathaniel had become ruthless in business and frightening to his enemies because of what he had survived and the people who had hurt him. But beneath all that, he was still a gentle soul. The longer Samantha stayed with him, the less she believed he was using her. What she felt from him was not calculation, but him instinctively putting her first. "Then I want to go to the pool with you." The infinity pool outside the bedroom windows was beautiful. She had not used it yet, and night was fast approaching. She also did not want to go alone. Since Nathaniel was willing to indulge her, she asked him about it. He agreed without hesitation. Meanwhile, he tilted his head and looked at her. There was something almost p

Only after Samantha was pushed into the lake did she realize her ankle was sprained, but she knew she had to stay calm. Even strong swimmers could panic when a leg cramped, and that panic was often what made them choke and drown. That was the idea behind the saying that the people who drowned were often the ones who knew how to swim. Samantha calmed herself and waited for her body to rise so she could call for help. However, she did not expect Sydney to jump into the water and grabbed her again, keeping her from reaching the surface properly. Samantha caught Sydney's arm so she would not be dragged under. Using her uninjured leg, she kicked Sydney away, hard. Sydney nearly lost her breath from that kick, but she came back anyway and locked both arms around Samantha's waist. Samantha pushed down hard on Sydney's shoulders and used the leverage to lift herself toward the surface. "Help! Help me! Nathan, save me!" Nathaniel and Hunter heard her at the same time. Nathani

Samantha forced down her embarrassment as she looked at Nathaniel teasing her. "Thank you." Nathaniel found her reaction adorable and could not resist teasing her. He looked at her and said, "No. Don't thank me so quickly. You don't need a cousin looking after you today. If you want me to take care of you, what should you call me?" Samantha understood. "Honey! Thank you, honey." Only then did Nathaniel look satisfied. He raised Samantha out of the bath tub and carefully dried her. Then he took the clean, comfortable clothes that had been left outside the door and helped her dress. As soon as she was changed, he arranged for a doctor to examine her. He ordered the bodyguards to stay with Samantha. Then, he lowered his eyes and walked out. - Meanwhile, at the lake. Sydney had climbed out of the lake by herself after Channing ignored her. She knew how to swim, but not well enough. That being said, she still managed to keep herself afloat with the dog paddle style. She

Nathaniel continued. "I built this place for her. Since I can't prove exactly how the danger started, then I'll remove the probable source of that danger. The reason this estate exists is because I wanted to keep away anything and anyone who could hurt her. Mr. Lane, Sydney, I withdraw my offer for you to stay here. And I won't invite either of you back." Sydney froze, then panicked. "We're cousins! Are you really going to treat me like this because an outsider turned you against me? If I was wrong, I'll apologize. I'll beg her if that's what it takes. Just don't send me away." She clutched her stomach and began to lower herself as if she meant to kneel. Hunter caught her arm and supported her. "Nathaniel, this is too harsh. She's your cousin and you've known each other for years. There's no need to make things this ugly." Michael thought it was unfortunate, but Channing's behavior had been obvious. He had ignored his own wife and reached for Nathaniel's wife instead. No man wo
