A Cue For Happiness Chapter 46

Chapter 46 He Wants To See Her

The siblings’ reactions were out of Natalie’s expectations.

“Don’t say that. What if your mommy has her reasons?” Natalie tried. “There’s no mother in this world who does not love her child. She would feel extremely hurt if she heard what you just said.”

Franklin and Sophia liked Natalie a lot, but they had to disagree with her.

Franklin turned his head to the side and sneered. “That woman does not love us at all! She just wants to fulfill her celebrity dream. She’s using me and Sophia to gain favor with Daddy!”

Even Sophia, being the soft girl she was, disliked Yara.

Soon, Natalie figured out what was going on.

The mother of the children treated them as bargaining chips to marry into the Bowers family. No wonder they resented her so much.

“I could stay in contact with you guys. I can even promise to visit as frequently as I can.” This was Natalie’s first time appearing so determined in front of the children. “But I can’t promise the rest,” she concluded.

Although she adored the twins from the Bowers family, she could not just take care of them because of her liking toward them.

Not only would their mother oppose, but their father, Samuel, would do the same as well.

The atmosphere in the room immediately took a turn. The originally cheerful children looked like deflated balloons.

Just then, Samuel returned with a glass of warm water in his hands. Natalie asked Franklin to drink a few sips. After that, she put the two children to bed with the reasoning that Franklin needed more rest.

Despite her decision not to move in, the children still adored Natalie.

Natalie’s words were like law to them.

They obediently went to bed, accompanied by the lullaby sung by Natalie.

Soon, it was midnight.

Feeling tired, Natalie massaged her stiff neck as she exited the children’s bedroom.

Samuel had stayed with her the entire time while she was pacifying the children.

“Thanks,” he stated as soon as they were face to face.

Without the presence of the two children, Natalie’s attitude changed. “Mr. Bowers, it’s unlike you to call for me even when you knew that the children were faking it.”

“How did you know that I’ve known all along?”

“You’re always putting up a front in front of Franklin. You actually care for him a lot. Yet, you appeared to be unusually calm when he was supposedly sick today,” Natalie explained. She lifted her gaze to meet his eyes. “I told you that Franklin only needed to drink warm water to soothe his stomachache, and you didn’t question it at all.”

Samuel hummed in response.

Natalie thought that he would at least try to explain himself. She did not expect him to admit it so easily.

A thought flashed through her mind. She bit her lips and asked, “You did it on purpose?”

“The children wanted to see you, and I wanted to see you, too,” Samuel answered. His eyes were unreadable. “If you think that I did it on purpose, then I won’t deny it.”

Natalie’s eyes widened. Why do these words sound so misleading?

Deep inside, she kept telling herself that she was just imagining things.

Since when did he start speaking like this to me? I must be imagining things!

“You sure are a jokester, Mr. Bowers,” Natalie remarked with a sneer on her face. “I won’t beat around the bushes. I understand Franklin and Sophia wanting to see me, but what do you mean when you said you wanted to see me?”

As their eyes met, Samuel strode toward Natalie with his long legs.

He was much taller than her. Their height difference made her feel small. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Natalie did not want to move, but as he got closer to her, she could not help but back up.

In no time, she was backed into a corner.

“Tell me,” Samuel huskily prompted. “What do you think a man desires when he wants to meet a woman?”
