The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 617

Chapter 617 The Plan

Natalie knitted her brows in response. Since when did the two brothers start keeping secrets from me? And here they are, insisting that there’s a gorgeous moon out there despite the starless sky.

“A beautiful moon?” Leaning downward at them, Natalie let out a mischievous smile. “Tell me, boys, where is the moon?”

Staring at the empty sky, the brothers couldn’t find the moon either.

“Erm…” Clayton was stumped.

“We…” Xavian was equally speechless.

When she saw their guilty faces, Natalie was certain that they were hiding something from her. As talking about the moon’s beauty was a common pick-up line, Natalie wondered if the boys were experiencing puppy love.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her speculation was spot on.

“Do you have a secret that you’re unwilling to share with me?” Natalie knelt down to be at eye level with the children. “If you meet any girls in the kindergarten whom you can click with, don’t doubt your own judgment, and don’t worry about me freaking out.”

In the process of growing up, every child will encounter all sorts of strange problems. Most importantly, they should learn how to have faith in themselves and not doubt their own decisions. That way, they will continue to progress and mature with the passage of time.

Clayton and Xavian were dumbstruck when they realized that Natalie had misunderstood them.

Just when Xavian wanted to clarify that they weren’t having relationship problems, Clayton tugged his brother’s sleeve at once.

He added, “Mommy, you’re right. Xavian and I know how to deal with this appropriately. Therefore, there’s no need for you to worry at all.”

What the? Xavian stared blankly at Clayton as he admitted to the matter.

“Xavian, I want to know the truth about our family origins too. However, I don’t want her to be hurt while we investigate the matter behind her back. No matter what, she is the most important person in our lives. As long as it makes her happy, I am willing to do and accept anything. Even if our birth father turns out to be a murderer, it wouldn’t change anything at all!”

Just when Clayton had finished, his eyes began to moisten.

Having heard his brother’s words, Xavian nodded with a bitter expression in his heart.

“You hit the nail on the head. Our mommy is the best one in the whole wide world. For her sake, I too am willing to do whatever it takes.” Clenching her fist, Xavian declared, “We must definitely try our best to protect her!”

“Mm-hmm, that goes without saying.”

Even though the two brothers constantly competed against each other for their mother’s attention, they were undoubtedly united in their desire to protect her.

“Xavian, this is what we should do…” Clayton began whispering the details of his plan into Xavian’s ear.
