A Cue For Happiness

Chapter 16

Samuel’s facial features were flawless as if they were carved out by God himself. Combined with his strong and imposing aura, he was a person that most people would find hard to ignore.

Natalie pursed her lips.

When I met Samuel, I was wearing that hyper-realistic mask and looked completely different from now. Besides, I’m already shielded by my sunglasses, mask, and cap. There’s no way he’ll recognize me, right?

When Samuel’s gaze swept over her, she continued tapping her fingers rhythmically and kept her gaze under the sunglasses steady.

As soon as she retrieved her coffee, she turned to leave the establishment. Alas, the rain had only gotten heavier by the time she got to the door.

With the intention of waiting for the rain to subside, she found an inconspicuous seat in the corner of the cafe and sat down.

It was then her phone began vibrating inside her bag.

Franklin’s haughty yet adorable voice rang out the moment she picked up the call. “Woman, the other time, my daddy got between our time together. He wasn’t really picking on you. In truth, he’s a misogynist. When a woman gets close to him, he becomes very temperamental.”

Natalie was rendered speechless.

This kid is so bad at choosing a time to complain about his father. Why did he choose a time when his father is in the same cafe as me? If I put him on speaker right now, Samuel will definitely punish him badly at home.

“Why are you not speaking? Have you forgotten who I am?”

“How’s that possible? You’re Franklin.”

“Why aren’t you calling me Mr. Franklin?” the boy questioned.

“Do you wish for me to call you Mr. Franklin?”

“Everyone else has to call me Mr. Franklin, but you don’t have to. I will only give you this privilege. Other women can only dream about it,” Franklin stated fiercely.

Natalie almost burst out laughing.

Tsk tsk. Indeed, he is Samuel’s son. He totally inherited his father’s domineering personality.

“The reason why I called you today is not just to apologize on behalf of my difficult daddy. It’s mainly because Sophia misses you. Can you speak with her? She’s right here.”

Natalie could not stop smiling when she thought of the adorable Sophia.

However, she still did not know what to say after racking her brains, so she could only say what she usually told Xavian and Clayton.

“Do not use electronic devices for too long as it harms your eyes. Remember to take breaks in between when you use them. Drink lots of milk and eat lots of eggs. You can’t only eat meat because you dislike vegetables. Brush your teeth well. Don’t eat too many sweets before bed, or your teeth will

rot.”

She paused for a moment to think before adding, “If you miss me, you can call me yourself. You don’t

have to call me through your brother. If you tap the phone thrice, I will know that it’s you who called me.”

Natalie wasn’t a very sympathetic person, but it was a different case when it came to Franklin and Sophia.

Her adoration for them was comparable to what she felt for Clayton and Xavian, so much so that even

she was surprised.

A warm and fuzzy feeling swept over her after speaking to them on the phone.

However, just when she was about to take a sip of her coffee, a large and rough hand grabbed her wrist, pulling her right out of her seat.

Her heart skipped a beat upon meeting the man’s sullen gaze.

Samuel?

She could feel his icy and emotionless gaze on her even through her sunglasses.

“Who were you talking to?” he asked, staring down at her.

There‘s no way he could have heard my conversation with Franklin and Sophia. “I was talking to my children. What’s wrong?” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Why are you here?”

Startled and confused by Samuel’s question, Natalie did not even notice that he had removed her cap. and her luscious long hair had cascaded down in waves.

Subconsciously, she tried to cover her head, but he used this opportunity to remove her sunglasses and mask. Immediately, a stunning face with a layer of light makeup appeared before him.
