A Cue For Happiness

Chapter 51 Touched By A Stranger

It had been five whole years.

Yara was still waiting for the day she would marry into the Bowers family and became Samuel’s woman.

Initially, she thought she could get her status elevated because of Franklin and Sophia, and that it would just be a matter of time before Samuel married her. However, five years had passed, and yet, Samuel seemed as though he did not intend to marry her at all.

Even the public had no idea that she was the biological mother of the eldest grandson of the Bowers family.

She was tired after the long wait and did not want to waste more time.

Yara was deep in love with Samuel. Instead of waiting for him to come to her, she decided to take the first move and capture the heart of her beloved one.

“Samuel, I haven’t asked you for anything in the past five years, but I hope you can agree to this,” she said.

Samuel glanced at her. “Well, if it’s something I can agree to.”

“Really? That’s great!”

Delighted, she swore she would perform well at her father’s 60th birthday banquet and won Samuel over.

She became excited and wanted to hold Samuel’s hand with that thought in mind. However, the man avoided her coldly before she could touch him.

Giving her an icy look, he said, “I told you before. I don’t like to be touched by a stranger.”

The smile on Yara’s face faded as she awkwardly put her hand away.

“Is there anything else?” Samuel asked in a cold tone.

“N-No.”

“If so, you may leave now.” He put down the coffee cup in his hand indifferently.

His words were clear. He wanted Yara to stop bugging him and leave.

At first, Yara was thinking of spending some time alone with Samuel, even if it was only watching him from the side quietly.

However, seeing the stern look on his face, she had no choice but to leave.

As she was leaving, she saw the two munchkins of the Bowers family were sending Natalie off.

Franklin frowned as he reminded, “Natalie, you must remember to change the dressing on your wound. Don’t be lazy. Okay?”

“Okay. I’ll remember that.” Natalie smiled.

“You’re really tough. How could you not even shed a single tear after bleeding so much?” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Well, I’m already ugly. I’ll look uglier if I cry.”

“No, you’re not ugly at all.” Looking at Natalie’s freckled face, Franklin continued earnestly, “In my heart, you and Sophia are always the prettiest girl in this world.”

Natalie was lost for words upon hearing that.

On the other hand, Yara got so furious that she could not even say a word.

Sophia, who could not verbalize her thoughts, looked at Natalie and nodded her head repeatedly, indicating that she agreed with her brother.

Knowing the two little ones genuinely liked her, Natalie was as happy as a lark.

Even though she was wearing an ugly hyper-realistic mask, they never despised her for her appearance.

“Thank you for the concern. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself.” She caressed the heads of the two children. “Give me a call whenever you miss me.”

When Natalie rose to her feet, she naturally spotted Yara staring at her with a meaningful gaze.

Without Samuel around, Yara’s façade faded. Her eyes turned vicious as she looked at Natalie.

Five years had passed in the blink of an eye, and Yara’s delicate facial features were more exquisite than before.

However, she was still the same vicious, ruthless woman.

Meanwhile, over those five years, Natalie was no longer the country bumpkin who had just come from the countryside and foolishly believed that Yara was the person closest to her in the world.

“You looked surprised when you heard my name just now. Are you all right?” Natalie asked.

“What? You must be overthinking. I’m not surprised at all.” Yara tucked the stray hair behind her ear, her gaze filled with contempt and mockery.

“Really? I thought you knew someone who had the same name as mine.”

Slightly stunned by Natalie’s words, Yara acted cool. “So what? You are not her anyway.”

Natalie raised the corner of her lips. At that moment, she felt the urge to take off the hyper-realistic mask from her face so that Yara could see clearly who she was.

However, it was not a good time yet.

After saying goodbye to the two children, Natalie boarded the car and left the Bowers residence.

Yara felt agitated for no reason when she saw the twins staring at the ugly woman with a longing gaze.

For the past five years, she had tried so hard to please the twins, but they always went against her, causing her to lose her patience.

However, they were well-behaved and liked a woman who had a face full of freckles.

“That woman is so ugly. How can you say that she’s pretty?” Yara questioned angrily. “I am your biological mommy, the one who brought both of you into this world. I’m much prettier than her. Okay?”
