A Cue for Love Chapter 540

Did He Bully You

Samuel took Natalie’s hand in his and glared at Kenneth. “Now that you’ve seen Natalie and the kids, I believe there’s nothing else to say or do,” he said bluntly, “so we should get going.”

“How dare you!” Kenneth looked outraged.

Samuel knew he could not deal with his grandfather the same way he was accustomed to dealing with people who displeased him. Therefore, the only way he could assert his dominance was by being firm with his grandfather that Natalie was his woman and that was an irrefutable fact. He would defend her from everything to the best of his ability, whether he had Kenneth’s support or not.

Samuel turned to leave while holding her hand but Natalie did not budge.

“Nat?” Samuel asked with a frown.

“I appreciate your concern for me, Samuel.” Natalie glanced at Kenneth before continuing. “Your grandfather treated me with respect tonight. Even the kids hardly get to see their great-grandfather. Let’s stay a little longer. I need to catch my breath after getting up.”

“Are you really…”

“Yes.” Natalie was amused yet touched by Samuel’s anxiousness. “Ask the kids if you don’t believe me.”
