A Cue for Love novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312 He Is Too Shallow

The moon was bright, and there weren’t many stars in the dark sky.

The autumn breeze was cooling and refreshing.

Natalie had spent the entire day in the autopsy laboratory.

The intense pressure from her work kept her on her toes every second. At last, she could finally catch a breath now.

Natalie caught a glimpse of Steven getting off his sports car.

Steven walked over to Natalie. “There was something Sam had to deal with at the office, so he might not be back tonight.”

“Okay.”

Natalie nodded then placed her helmet on the handlebar.

“Then, why are you here?”

Steven explained with a chuckle, “Grandpa fetched the twins for lunch at his house after school ended. I just brought them back from there. They’re currently sleeping in the backseat.”

“Shall we carry them back to bed?”

Natalie opened the backseat door gently.

She bent down and carried Sophia out from the car.

Maybe it was Natalie’s warmth. Or the faint herby scent always surrounding her, Sophia wrapped her arms tightly over Natalie’s neck like a koala hanging on a tree.

“Mom… Mommy…”

“Mommy’s here. Don’t worry. Go to sleep.”

Natalie gently patted Sophia’s back in a rhythm to bring the latter back to sleep. Patience and gentleness shone in her eyes.

In comparison, Steven seemed clumsy from the way he carried Franklin. Luckily, Franklin slept like a log. He merely mumbled something under his breath then allowed his Uncle Steven to carry him off to bed.

The two carried the twins back to their room.

Natalie tucked their blankets neatly over them. Then, she stealthily made her way out of the room after ensuring they were settled.

Steven was standing right by the door, watching her every move as she cared for the twins. His lips were pressed into a thin line as he looked on.

I used to be so confused as to why Sam would fall for such an average woman.

Samuel is indeed Samuel. I realized I was too shallow until this very moment.

Early morning, the next day.

Samuel didn’t return home the entire night. And Natalie slept in due to exhaustion from the day before.

Only four small figures were eating and chatting at the dining table.

“Franklin, that woman seems kind of close to you.” With a half-eaten bread in his hand, Clayton asked, “I got nothing from your answer yesterday. It was too cursory. What exactly is your relationship with her?”

Sophia was sipping on her milk as she answered hurriedly, “Clayton, she has nothing to do with us.”

“Really?”

Xavian and Clayton didn’t believe her one bit.

In contrast to Sophia’s nervousness, Franklin casually wiped the breadcrumbs on the corner of his mouth with a silk handkerchief. “Which part of my answer yesterday were you confused about?

“I can repeat it a thousand times if you guys don’t understand. “We have nothing to do with her. That woman was only interested in marrying Daddy and not forgetting his position. She wants to be our mommy. That’s it.”
