A Cue for Love Chapter 101

You Think You Can Run Away

“Is that how you truly feel?”

Natalie clenched her phone as she answered coldly, “Why would I lie to you? Samuel Bowers, who do you think you are? Why would I be pretentious in front of you?”

Knowing that Sophia was missing, Natalie began to panic.

However, she did not want Samuel to see it.

“Hurry up and look for Sophia. I’m busy. I don’t have the time to talk to you.”

Upon finishing speaking, Natalie hung up the phone.

She was biting on her lip so hard that it started to bleed, but she did not even notice it.

Sophia is so young. Her aphasia condition has just slightly improved. Where could she go? Moreover, the Bower family attracts so much attention. Their enemies can’t do anything to harm the brothers. What if they lay their hands on Sophia instead?

The more Natalie thought about it, the more miserable she felt.

Without any hesitation, she called Yandel.

“Yandel, I need your help locating a girl. I’ll send you her information and photo later. You have to find her whereabouts in a couple of hours.”

“Boss, who’s this girl?”

“I don’t have the time to explain. Also, give Jerome a call for help as well.”

“You’re going to make Jerome pay back the favor just like this? This is too-”

While Yandel was complaining, Natalie ignored him and hung up the call.

She always knew that Jerome was interested in her.

That was why she had never contacted him. She did not want to take advantage of his feelings.

However, nothing was more important than ensuring Sophia’s safety now.

After sending the information and photo, Natalie quickly rushed home. She did not find Sophia there.

Where did Sophia go? Did she run away from home? Was she kidnapped?

Meanwhile, in the convenience store, Xavian tore open the packaging of the snack before giving it to Sophia.

The latter then started eating slowly. She did not cause a mess while eating her snack.

As Xavian watched her eat, he became more fond of her. Deep down, he wanted Natalie to give birth to a younger sister who looked exactly like Sophia.

After Sophia finished eating, Xavian held her hand.

“Where do you live? I’ll take you home.”

Sophia quickly shook her head and said adamantly, “N-Natalie…”

Xavian did not expect her to be still thinking about Natalie after she was fed.

He sighed and replied, “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to my house.”

With a pair of teary eyes, Sophia said, “T-Thank.. you… X-Xavian…”

“Okay.”

Xavian held Sophia’s hand as both of them walked toward the compound.

However, several steps later, Xavian noticed that the two gangsters were still following them from behind.

Since the convenience store was packed with people, they did not dare to take make a move on the children yet.

Clearly, the men were waiting for Xavian and Sophia to be alone.

They had to walk through a tree-lined road in order to get back to Xavian’s house. Both sides of the road were planted with sycamore trees. At that moment, not a single person was seen on the entire street.

The two men were still following behind them.

At that moment, even Sophia had noticed the sound of footsteps behind them. There was a hint of worry on her face.

“S-Someone…”

Xavian held Sophia’s hand tighter as he whispered, “I’ll count to three. Don’t look back. Just keep running with me. One. Two. Three.”

On the count of three, Xavian started running with Sophia while he held her hand. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When the men saw the kids running, they quickened their pace.

Not only that the children’s legs were short, but there were also limits to their stamina.

They were not as lucky as the previous time. One of the men who had a scar on his face came to a halt in front of them.

“Why are you running? You think you can run away from us with those short legs of yours?”
