Chapter 14 Teaching My Son How To Flirt

me catch Franklin learning those indecent words from you.”“Indecent? My nephew?” Steven looked at Samuel and asked curiously, “That brat’s personality is the same as yours. Aloof. He usually listens to no one but you, so to whom will he say those words?”“You know her. Natalie Nichols.”Steven was dumbfounded. “Her? What’s her background? Sophia is crazy about her, and now, even Franklin, that naughty brat, likes her?”“I don’t know, but that’s not important. I’m only concerned about whether or not she can treat Sophia.”“Sam, this woman’s looks are too plain. If not, with her ability to handle those two, plus some seduction, she can probably become your wife!” commented Steven, shrugging his shoulders.The moment Steven finished speaking, two figures appeared at the ajar doorway.“Uncle Steven, is there something wrong with your eyes?” asked Franklin with a frown, his face reflecting his displeasure toward Steven.“M-My eyes…”“How is she ugly? If you don’t believe me, ask Sophia.” The boy swept a gaze at his sister as if waiting for her affirmation.A serious expression appeared on Sophia’s typically adorable face as she hugged her teddy bear. She shook her head with all her might.Steven had seen Natalie in real life. Her face is covered with freckles, and all her features are average, except her pair of almond-shaped eyes. How is she pretty?However, upon meeting the siblings’ displeased gazes, he turned to look at Samuel in desperation.“Sam, come on, say something.”Subconsciously, Samuel remembered that pair of sparkling eyes and murmured, “She’s quite pretty.”Steven was at a loss for words. What did you say?

Whenever she needed to contact him, she could only call the Bowers residence’s landline.Ring…The phone was finally answered a long time later.“Hello, you have reached the Bowers residence.”“Gavin, it’s me.” Yara smiled. “Is Samuel there? I want to discuss the kids with him.”“Ms. Nichols, Mr. Samuel and Mr. Steven are discussing work in the study right now. He isn’t able to come to the phone,” replied Gavin matter-of-factly.“I see…” A sense of disappointment washed over Yara, and she gripped the corner of her dress in her hands.However, she had to continue pretending to be a loving mother, so she asked with fake concern, “Have Franklin and Sophia been obedient these few days?” I had to leave early due to last-minute work previously and didn’t get to spend much time with them. They wouldn’t complain to Samuel, right?Gavin did not know what transpired between Yara, Franklin, and Sophia. He assumed that they did not get along well because Yara wasn’t living with the children. Thus, his reply was heartfelt.“Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia are doing well, especially when Mr. Samuel brought back a guest today. I rarely see Mr. Franklin being so amiable to an outsider.”“Amiable?”Yara was
