Worried About The Bully

“Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia have already eaten…” Gavin’s voice was racked with worry as he had acted on his own accord to invite Natalie over.

“Where are they?”

Unable to lie, Gavin answered, “In the dining room. They have just finished eating.”

The man’s footsteps got closer.

As Samuel walked into the dining room, his gaze fell upon Natalie.

Samuel was wearing an all-black outfit. It was quite common for men to dress like that in the corporate world, but he looked like he just walked out of an international fashion magazine.

His sleeves were rolled up, showing off his muscled forearm.

“Why is she here?” Samuel questioned Gavin, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

Gavin lowered his head with guilt as his face turned green. No matter how long he had served the Bowers, he was still just an employee after all.

This idea of his had obviously displeased Samuel.

As Gavin was about to admit his fault, Natalie spoke up. “I was missing the children, so I came over to visit. Gavin saw me and couldn’t help but divulge their hunger strike. I begged him to let me coax them to eat something. He couldn’t say no to me, and at the same time, he wanted the children to eat. That’s why he let me in.”

With that, she helped Gavin out of the mess and took all the responsibility upon her own shoulders.

Samuel’s gaze went from Natalie to Gavin. It only took him a moment to figure out that she was lying.

He looked into her eyes, but she did not back down.

She stared right back at him, her eyes full of stubbornness.

For some reason, Samuel could not stop thinking about his encounter with the woman at the cafe as he stared at her eyes.

Am I going crazy? How could I associate this flawed woman with the beautiful and perfect Yara?

A scorching dark light flashed across his eyes.

“Daddy, you are not to be mean to Natalie. You’d have to go through me first if you’re going to do so.”

As Franklin said those words, even Sophia came and stood in front of Natalie. She held onto his leg as if she was afraid Samuel was going to do something.

Samuel lowered his head and looked at the two children hanging onto him. He frowned and said, “They’re really pulling out all the stops for you.”

Hearing that, Natalie felt a bit awkward. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

After all, the children were going against their own father in order to protect her.

If Samuel really put hands on her, there was no doubt the children would not let him get off that easily.

Samuel easily brushed the children off and sat down at the dining table.

“You’ve seen her and had some food. Now, it’s time for you two to head upstairs. I have something to discuss with her in private.”

Franklin and Sophia refused to leave.

Samuel knew what they were worried about. He sighed and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t bully her.”

After hearing the promise from Samuel, the children left the dining room reluctantly and went back to their room.

At that moment, Samuel and Natalie were the only people left in the dining room.

“Why did you lie for Gavin?”

“You knew, but you didn’t say anything,” Natalie retorted. “Gavin did it for the children, so don’t be too hard on him. Even if he’s willing to be punished, your staff would be dejected to see that happen.”

“Aren’t you good at reading people.”

“Same as you.”

Samuel placed his hand under his chin and asked, “So you came because Gavin asked you to?”

At the mention of that, Natalie could not help but feel angry.

“Children aren’t the same as adults. We can skip a meal or two, but they can’t.”

As she recalled what had happened at the cafe the other day, she felt her chest tighten.

She blurted, “Besides, Sophia and Franklin are your children. Can you spend more time with them? It’s one thing to be busy with work, but isn’t it too much to be entangled with a woman on top of that?”

Samuel looked at Natalie meaningfully and asked, “Woman?”
