A Cue For Happiness Chapter 61

Chapter 61 The Son Of Natalie

When Natalie heard Xavian’s voice, panic rushed through her heart.

Her big round eyes widened in shock. Then, she glared fiercely at Samuel, who still had confusion in his eyes, and pushed him away as hard as she could.

However, it was too late.

The little kid had seen everything.

Xavian froze in shock when he took a clear look at Samuel’s face. The next second, his eyes glistened slyly.

“Mister, have we met somewhere before?” he asked.

Samuel turned to see a boy wearing a red shirt and blue overalls.

Although the boy’s attire was different from the one he wore in front of the restaurant last time, Samuel could recognize his adorable chubby face at once.

It’s him?

Xavian looked the same age as Sophia and Franklin. Plus, he was calling Natalie “Mommy.”

On top of that, when Samuel saw Xavian’s face which resembled him even more than Franklin did, he had a slight hunch.

Natalie had no idea that Samuel and Xavian had seen each other before. She thought that Xavian was only striking up a conversation with Samuel in this silly way because he had the intention of making the latter his stepfather.

To stop things from getting out of hand, Natalie bent over and covered Xavian’s mouth with her hand.

She whispered into his ear with a voice that no one other than the two of them could hear, “Sweetheart, watch your mouth.”

Xavian nodded his head to show that he understood.

Natalie released her son slowly, and as she got up, she glanced at Samuel.

“This is my son, Xavian,” she introduced.

“Nice to meet you,” greeted Xavian with a nod.

As Samuel gradually recovered from the surprise, he narrowed his eyes as he stared at Xavian. The corners of his lips curled up into an attractive smile.

“Xavian?”

“Yes, it means ‘bright.’“

“Such a pretty name.”

“Of course. Mommy gave the name to me, so it is the best name in the world.”

Natalie’s gaze went back and forth between the man and the boy in front of her.

She understood why Xavian was behaving this way, but she did not have the slightest idea about Samuel’s attitude.

To Natalie, the fact that Samuel could tolerate her “ugliness” was confusing enough.

Now that he knew she had two children, he should have looked displeased, but he did not show the slightest bit of disdain.

Does Samuel know my true identity and need me to treat some incurable disease of his? Or does he want to take over Dream? Is that why he forced himself to approach a woman like me?

Natalie could not figure out the reason behind it, so she decided to get Samuel to leave her house.

“Mr. Bowers, it is almost time for dinner. You see, although Xavian has prepared some food, he is still a five-year-old kid. Both his cooking skills and the ingredients he used are in no way comparable to the professional chefs of the Bowers family. Don’t you think you should…” Natalie paused. She did not finish her sentence as she thought that someone as smart as Samuel should understand her meaning in a second without her having to spell it out.

However, Samuel did not leave as she expected. Instead, he undid the button on his shirt collar and fixed his gaze at Natalie. “Then I think we shall have dinner together. I want to try Xavian’s cooking too.”

“All right. I will get dinner ready now.” Xavian nodded, turned around, and left to prepare the meal.

Natalie, who was left behind, stared at Samuel with a dumbfounded look.

Why is he staying for dinner in my apartment when he could have a luxurious meal back in his own house?

Natalie was sure that Samuel was not too blunt to have missed her hint just now. He was obviously pretending to not get it.

“What do you want exactly?” asked Natalie.

“I want to have dinner because I am hungry. Or are you worried that I will eat you instead of the food?” asked Samuel with a faint glow in his eyes.

Natalie almost choked on her own saliva upon hearing him. She coughed and said, “You…”

“Don’t worry. I will only eat the food. I won’t eat anything else,” Samuel promised. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Natalie coughed harder than she already did.

This man! He will literally do anything to get closer to me! Fine! Since you want to see what I am hiding, I will play along with you!

As Natalie made up her mind, she stepped into the apartment unit with Samuel.

There were three bedrooms, a living room, and a dining room in the apartment. The three bedrooms each belonged to Natalie, Xavian, and Clayton.

Xavian prepared steak for dinner. He was busy walking in and out of the kitchen to bring the food to the dining room.

Natalie went straight to wash her hands as soon as she stepped into the apartment, but just as she applied some soap to her hands, she noticed someone standing beside her.
