A Cue For Happiness

Chapter 64 What Happened To Her In The PastFather and son? How ridiculous! I must be imagining things!Natalie bit her lip and shook her head, trying to get rid of the absurd idea that popped up in her mind.However, at the same time, a sense of indescribable sorrow and disappointment rushed through her heart.As she watched Samuel and Xavian interacting, she realized that no matter how much maternal love she tried to give to her two children, she could never make up for the absence of their father’s company in their growth process.The reason that both her children were trying intently to find themselves a stepfather was not only that they hoped their mother could fall in love again, but also that they longed for love and companionship from a fatherly figure.With Samuel hanging around tonight, Xavian was more energetic than he usually was. He was talking to Samuel all the time, smiling from ear to ear.When it was nine o’clock, Natalie turned toward Xavian. “It’s late now. Time for you to sleep.”“Yes, yes, Mommy. I know.” The little boy nodded obediently but winked at Samuel at the same time. “I have to go to bed now. You should come to visit more often.”“Okay.” Samuel agreed.Natalie frowned when she saw Samuel promise Xavian.After Xavian brushed his teeth and went to sleep, Natalie sat on the couch and turned to meet Samuel’s dark and impenetrable eyes.She tucked her hair behind her ear and asked, “Now there are only the two of us here, so you can tell the truth. Why do you come to my place tonight? What do you want from me?” “I’ve told you everything I need to. I only want to see you. That’s all.” Samuel pulled lightly at his collar.“Both of us are grown-ups, and I don’t think we need to beat around the bush. Why don’t you just tell me what do you want to know about me? Or is there anything you’re trying to gain from me?”Natalie was clear that Samuel was not just an ordinary person.If he wanted to investigate her, he could find out everything about her easily. She preferred they talked about it in a straightforward way rather than pretending she did not know anything.If Samuel was trying to win her trust by being nice to her, Natalie did not mind playing along, but she could not tolerate seeing him do the same to Xavian.“I don’t care if you are trying to fool me and gain my trust, Mr. Bowers. But I don’t want you to use my son as a tool to get what you want.”Samuel had his own children, so Natalie was sure he could understand. As a parent, she would do anything to protect her children.“Natalie, is that what you think of me?”“Yes. Don’t tell me that you’re fond of me or Xavian. I won’t believe in any of your nonsense,” replied Natalie with a cold and grave tone.Samuel fixed his gaze on Natalie and observed her intently. She was only in her early twenties, yet she was so wary of people.What happened to her that made her so distrustful toward people?“What did the Nichols family do to you?” asked Samuel.The Nichols family? So is he doing all these for Yara’s sake?“I see. You know quite a lot, don’t you? But I will not let you interfere with this matter regarding the Nichols family.” Natalie narrowed her eyes.Although it would be more difficult than it already was for Natalie to carry out her revenge plan if Samuel was on Yara’s side, she would never give up. There was no way she was going to forgive the people who had hurt her in the past.Natalie approached Samuel and pointed at the door. “It is too late for you to stay here. You should leave now.”However, to her surprise, Samuel grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.Natalie did not see that coming. She was already sitting on Samuel’s lap when she recovered from the shock.“What are you-”“You are still so young, yet so protective of yourself.” Samuel locked Natalie tightly in his arms as he sighed beside her ear. “What happened to you in the past?”His voice sounded gentle and pampering, but most of all, it was filled with love. He was aching for her.
