A Cue for Love novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453 Mommy Needs Some Comforting

When Natalie lowered her head, she found the young siblings staring worriedly at her. “Franklin? Sophia?”

Immediately, she could feel a lump in her throat. If my children were still alive somewhere, they’d probably be as adorable as these two. But I know that it’s very unlikely.

Franklin got even more concerned when he noticed the tears rolling down Natalie’s cheeks. “Please don’t cry. Did somebody bully you?”

“You can tell us. We’ll protect you,” assured Sophia, who got emotional as well when she saw how sad Natalie was.

Because of the little ones’ comforting words, Natalie’s heart completely melted, so she wrapped her arms around the children and embraced them as tightly as she could. “I’m fine; nobody’s bullying me. I just had a bad day, but now that I have you two, I feel so much better!”

“Sophia and I were so worried about you when we saw you crying,” voiced Franklin.

Then, Sophia quickly nodded in agreement. “It’s okay if you feel like crying. We’ll keep you company.”

Seeing how thoughtful the children were, Natalie found the reason to smile once again. “Thank you. I feel much better now because of you two.”

When Samuel got home that evening, he saw Sophia playing with her toy just beside the window as the silvery moonlight showered over her.

The little girl had eyelashes so thick that they looked like little fans above her eyes.

“Why are you still up, Sophia?” inquired Samuel with a slight frown. “You should be asleep at this hour.”

Had it been Franklin, Xavian, or Clayton in the little girl’s place, Samuel would have used a much less gentle tone.

The man had always had a soft spot for Sophia, so he would never raise his voice at her.

Then, Samuel bent down to pick up his already drowsy daughter.

The little girl then quickly responded with a nod since she did not want to get in trouble. “Okay, Daddy. I promise.”

After tucking Sophia in, Samuel tiptoed out of her room and went to his.

He was greeted with the smell of alcohol as soon as he stepped inside.

Sitting on the balcony was Natalie in her light-colored nightdress, and surrounding her were a couple of beer bottles.

Worried that Natalie would catch a cold sitting out in the open like that, Samuel went over to carry her up from the floor.

“Hey, you’re… you’re home.” Natalie was slurring her words with her eyes half-open.
