The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 570

Chapter 570 No Evidence

“Do you have any idea who the mastermind is?”

Samuel fell deep in thought after hearing his grandpa’s question.

Even though Natalie did not tell him everything about what happened last time, just judging by the fact that Yara had pretended to be Franklin and Sophia’s biological mother back then, it was obvious that Yara had exceptionally good acting skills and was extremely ambitious.

Over the past five years, although he and the kids behaved coldly toward Yara, it was undeniable that the woman had treated Kenneth well and cared a lot for him.

Both Samuel and Kenneth were aware of that and were grateful.

Yara seemed to be completely uninvolved in the kidnapping incident as Melissa was the only one who was seen.

As Samuel did not have any concrete evidence that could prove Yara’s involvement in the matter, he did not find it necessary to mention it.

Besides, even if he did, it was not possible for Kenneth to believe him.

After much thought, Samuel decided to keep his speculation to himself. “Grandpa, I have no clue yet.”

“Thank goodness Sophia is fine.” Kenneth put a hand to his chest to calm himself down before saying, “Whenever I think about the ordeal my darling Sophia had gone through, my heart would start pounding wildly, and I wish I could have taken her place instead. She still has such a long journey ahead of her. Nothing can happen to her!”

“When I reached, Nat was hugging Sophia tightly.”

“Really?” Kenneth asked doubtfully.

“I won’t lie about such things just to get you to like her. I’m not that lame.” With a grave expression, Samuel continued, “The situation was extremely critical that day. If I had arrived just slightly later… I really cannot imagine what would have happened.”

Kenneth nodded.

The three men continued chatting for a while before Steven helped Kenneth to the car, getting ready to head back home.

Before they left, Kenneth said to Samuel seriously, “Natalie had saved Sophia and is our family’s benefactor. I won’t be visiting often so that I won’t disrupt her rest. While you recover, make sure you take care of her as well.”

“It’s the same for Franklin. He used to be such a difficult kid. Other than Sam, he did not listen to anyone else, and even I was scared of him. Although he’s still quite cocky now, his temper has improved so much. He is more mature now and has also become a much better brother to Sophia. More importantly…”

Steven paused for a second and raised his brows before continuing, “Sam is also a changed man. Last time, he was just like a robot without feelings who only knew how to work. Now, even though he still treats outsiders the same way, he has become more cheerful in front of family and people he trusts.”

“Grandpa?” Seeing that Kenneth did not give any response after he said so much, Steven started to think that he might have said something wrong.

“Just concentrate on driving. I’m tired.”

Kenneth closed his eyes after saying that, pretending to sleep.

But the truth was that Kenneth’s heart was in a mess and did not know what to reply his grandson.

In the past, there was absolutely no doubt that between Yara and Sophia, Kenneth was on Yara’s side. However, something had shifted within the man.

He could feel himself slowly moving toward Natalie’s side.
