A Cue For Happiness Chapter 63

Chapter 63 Daddy Was Dead

Natalie was indeed staring at Samuel without blinking, but it was still embarrassing to be pointed out by Xavian. She felt so awkward that she hoped the ground would swallow her up.

“Don’t be silly, Xavian!” Natalie cleared her throat.

“I’m not being silly! Mommy, you are adding the steak sauce into the salad! The salad is ruined!” Xavian pouted.

Natalie lowered her gaze at the salad in her bowl.

Just like what Xavian had said, she was adding the spicy sauce she added to the steak just now into the salad bowl.

She knew that Xavian was telling the truth, but there was no way she could bring herself to admit that she was indeed staring at Samuel.

“You don’t get it. I like eating this way.” Trying to pretend nothing had happened, Natalie stuffed a mouthful of salad topped with the spicy steak sauce into her mouth without hesitation.

The steak sauce was never a good combination with the salad.

However, she had to maintain her image in front of her son, so she kept a straight face despite the weird taste in her mouth.

Hang in there! You can’t embarrass yourself in front of your son!

Natalie forced herself to swallow the salad, and Xavian did not notice anything wrong with his mother.

Samuel, on the other hand, was filling Natalie’s glass with soft drinks. He looked amused and was wearing a charming grin.

She is so cute when she’s acting stubborn.

After dinner, Natalie took a glance at the greasy dishes and cutleries and rolled up her sleeves. She then piled the dishes up and carried them into the kitchen to wash them.

Meanwhile, Xavian dragged Samuel into his room.

Xavian sat cross-legged on his bed while Samuel sat on the floor mat. They stared at each other wordlessly for some time.

“I remember you said you weren’t interested in Mommy when we met last time!” said Xavian as he rested his chin on his hand and lifted his eyebrows.

“You’re right.”

“I’ve already told you that my mommy is excellent. She has both talent and beauty. Now you know I am not lying to you, don’t you? So, do you regret saying that? Are you planning to change your mind?” Xavian said proudly.

“No, I’m not changing my mind.”

“What?” Xavian was enraged as soon as he heard Samuel’s response. Thinking that Samuel was only playing with his mother’s feelings, he exclaimed, “How dare you flirt with my mommy when you have another woman in your mind?”

“Back then, I didn’t know Natalie is your mommy. In fact, from the very beginning, your mommy is the only woman in my heart,” Samuel answered.

“Do you mean you’ve fallen for my mommy since a long time ago?”

Samuel nodded after a few moments of silence. “Yes.”

Xavian nodded in satisfaction.

Samuel was brave enough to admit his feelings toward Natalie, not to mention he was not disgusted at all even when Natalie was wearing the hyper-realistic mask. This showed that Samuel was not a shallow-minded person. He loved Natalie not for her looks, but for her soul and talent.

“It’s not going to be easy if you want to win my mommy’s heart. She is probably hurt too deeply by Daddy.”

“You mean your biological father?”

“He’s a smuggler and a robber. I have only seen his photo. He suddenly went missing five years ago and is probably already dead. Perhaps he died years ago,” Xavian answered calmly.

“Did your mommy tell you these?” asked Samuel.

“Mommy only told me half of the story. Clayton and I found out the rest ourselves.”

Samuel frowned deeply upon hearing Xavian’s words, and a grim expression appeared on his face.

Why did she assume I was a smuggler and a robber? Why did she leave Sophia and Franklin behind, without even knowing about their existence? Why did she forget everything about me?

After Natalie had finished doing the dishes, she opened the door to Xavian’s room to see the two of them sitting cross-legged together in front of the large computer screen.

They were both holding their phones and were playing games together as a team.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Neither one of them noticed Natalie standing at the door, as they were too immersed in the game.

“The assassin is coming from the middle lane. Come here and assist me quickly!”

“Okay.”

Natalie had played games with Xavian before this.

However, she had never seen such a bright and happy smile on Xavian’s face when she played with him.

When Samuel and Xavian were playing games together, they looked like father and son.
