A Cue for Love Chapter 126

Talented And Loving Children

Seeing how the little boy’s face contorted with rage, Natalie sniffed the fragrance of the roses with a smile and said, “I love these very much…”

Franklin seemed taken aback for a moment before turning around to hide his smug smile. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Not wanting to be outdone, Sophia took out some colorful candies from her little backpack and handed them to Natalie.

“C-Candies… Sweet…”

Steven was just about to translate that, but Natalie spoke up. “These are your favorite… Wait, I understand. You’re giving them to me so that I can taste the sweetness and forget about the pain of my wound, right?”

“Mm-hmm.” Sophia nodded enthusiastically.

Steven looked at Natalie in astonishment but suddenly felt that he should not be surprised. After all, this was not the first time the latter’s ability had impressed him.

There was nothing she could not do for the twins and Samuel; she was invincible.

Natalie’s gaze subconsciously landed behind Steven to see if Samuel was there.

Noticing that, Steven hopped in to explain the situation. “Sam has been on a business trip these past few days to attend an important meeting for Centurion Corporation. That’s why he’s not here to pick you up.”

Natalie bit her lip.

She instantly shot a cold glance at Steven while snapping, “Why are you telling me this? I don’t recall asking about Samuel.”

Steven was absolutely speechless.

Indeed, she didn’t ask me about him but can’t I explain things out of my own will?

Nevertheless, he completed the discharge procedures and drove Natalie home.

Xavian greeted Natalie once she arrived with a loving hug and a warm bowl of mushroom soup.

While watching her enjoy the soup, Xavian held his chin and asked, “Mommy, why didn’t Mr. Bowers come with you?”

Natalie’s eyes narrowed at that. With lightning speed, she put down her spoon to ask, “When did you and Samuel get so close?”

“I-I. That’s not true…”

Xavian denied her statement, yet inexplicable anxiety kept flickering in his dark eyes.

“You better not be close with him.” After taking another spoonful of mushroom soup, she resumed in a grim tone, “Samuel and Mommy are from different worlds, so… there will never be a happy ending between us.”

Yet, Xavian’s brows only scrunched in confusion at her statement. “Mommy, what do you mean by ‘different worlds?’ I don’t understand what you’re saying. It’s too complicated!”

“You don’t have to understand it.” Natalie lovingly tapped Xavian’s nose and said, “You shouldn’t get involved in the affairs of adults. All you need to know is that although you and Clayton only have me as

a parent, I’ll do my best to protect both of you.”

A solemn look shrouded Xavian’s face as he responded, “Clayton and I only want you to be happy, Mommy. Although we’re only five years old now, we’ll grow up quickly and make a lot of money for you in the future. By then, Clayton and I will support the family, so you can sit back and relax.”

A warm feeling swelled in Natalie’s heart.

I must have done so many good deeds in my previous life to have such a pair of talented and loving children.

Xavian did the dishes after Natalie finished up the soup. Meanwhile, she headed back to the room to deal with her work.

It was then that she received a call.

“Hello?”

“Hey, it’s me.” Shawn’s gentle voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

His sudden call made Natalie worry as she felt it had something to do with Max’s health condition. Concerned, she inquired to the phone, “Has something happened to Old Mr. Watsons? Are you calling because he finished the medicine I previously prescribed him?”

“No…”

“Oh.” Natalie stiffened before finally speaking up. “Then what’s up?”

“It’s my grandpa’s birthday this weekend. I hope you can attend his party as my partner.”

Natalie stroked the hyper-realistic mask on her face and asked tentatively, “I’m not going to take off the mask on my face. Knowing that is my term, are you still willing to have me as your partner?”
