The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 310

Chapter 310

Natalie?That Natalie again?It wasn’t just Samuel who treated her differently. Even the picky twins cared about her?

Franklin leaped from the chair and left the dining room.

Yara was left alone, standing in the wide empty dining room. She tightened her clenched fist as she stared at the messy table.

How could there be such coincidence in this world?The woman who died in the fire five years ago was called Natalie. Yet, this woman that Franklin spoke of was also Natalie.It can’t be. They can’t be the same person. That woman was already dead five years ago. The current Natalie only has an average look with freckles sprinkled all over her cheeks. There were no similarities between her and the fair beauty in my memories.

Yara just couldn’t figure out

An uneasy feeling rose within her like being caught in a large, sticky web. Her frown deepened the more she thought about it.

Sophia continued to cry in Kenneth’s arms for a long while.

She had discussed with Franklin earlier to act in front of Kenneth, but fear had engulfed her when she saw the evil look on Yara’s face as the latter raised her hand.

Sophia’s usually bright eyes were swollen from all the crying.

She gripped Kenneth’s shirt with trembling hands then looked up at him. “Great-grandpa, I’m scared.”

“It’s alright. Tell me. Why did she raise her hand against you?”

“Kitty is my best friend. It got hungry, so I-I fed it some shrimp.” Sophia couldn’t help the hiccup after sobbing earlier. “She was disgusted with Kitty and me. She thought we were dirty. So she got mad at us.”

“What’s Kitty?”

“It’s the kitten from your house.” Sophia explained somberly, “My teacher from school taught me that kittens are our best friends. We need to play well with them.”

Kenneth finally understood the whole incident after her explanation.

Kenneth wouldn’t comfort Franklin if he cried, but it was Sophia, and he couldn’t bear to see her shedding sad tears. The scale in his heart had already tipped toward Sophia when she started to sob uncontrollably.

He did favor Yara, but she wasn’t related to him.

She presumed Kenneth would’ve at least listened to her explanation. It was beyond her expectation that he would side with the twins entirely. It surprised her and made her feel uneasy.

“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I-I admit my mistake. It was all my fault.” Yara covered her face with her hands as she started crying. “It had been so long since I got to spend time with them that I had forgotten how to get along with them.”

“If you realize your mistake, then take some time to reflect on yourself.” Kenneth gestured impatiently. “I’m tired today. You may leave now.”

Yara left the study unwillingly. Cruelty filled her eyes from the injustice and hatred she felt.

I will crave the trap that the twins dug for me earlier today in my memory. I will never forget it.

It was ten at night, and the twins were already sleeping soundly in their beds. Suddenly, a car’s exhaust sounded from outside the house.

Is it Samuel?

Yara’s cheeks blushed at the thought. She quickly put on a coat and ran down the stairs with light steps.
