A Cue for Love Chapter 158

Utterly Heartbroken

Natalie did not expect Franklin’s injury to be that severe.

The sight of his purple bruise blotches tugged at her heartstrings.

Franklin is only five years old. What has gotten into Old Mr. Bowers? How could he lay such a heavy hand on his great-grandson?

Meanwhile, Franklin could not see the sorrowful look on Natalie’s face as his back faced her.

Wanting to cheer her up, he told a white lie. “I hope my bruise didn’t scare you too much, Natalie. Don’t worry. My great-grandpa is nearly eighty years old, so there’s not much strength left in him. The pain isn’t as bad as it seems.”

“There’s no need to act tough. Plus, I bet your mommy will be utterly heartbroken when she sees this,” Natalie murmured in response.

“I have no mom. Sophia and I only have our daddy. No mommy,” Franklin said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Upon hearing that, Natalie was at a loss for words.
