The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 110

After instructing Gavin to watch over the children, Steven followed Kenneth to the study on the second floor. “Grandpa-” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“How could you?” Kenneth barked without a shred of mercy. “Even Sophia knows to speak up about this urgent matter. How could you not inform me about it at once?”

Ever since Franklin and Sophia were born, Steven‘s ranking in Kenneth‘s heart had dropped to the lowest. The latter became biased to the twins and no longer favored his grandson, Steven, as much.

“I–I forgot.”

“You forgot? How could you forget to update me on such a serious matter? You idiot! What good is your brain if you can‘t even use it to do something so simple?” Kenneth fumed.

I would‘ve spanked him on the butt if I had brought my cane with me.

On the other hand, Steven scratched his head while suppressing how furious he felt..

Idiot? Well, I‘ve never seen an idiot as good–looking as me. Hmph! That old geezer doesn‘t know what he‘s saying.

“How did Sophia‘s condition improve so much? Did you guys manage to hire a professional to coach her?” Kenneth suddenly asked.

“Nope. Her speech naturally improved after meeting Natalie.”

At that, Kenneth‘s lips parted in surprise. “Natalie? Is that the girl who made Franklin want to return so urgently?”

“Yep.”

A pleased smile spread on Kenneth‘s face as he mused, Well, I‘ll be a monkey‘s uncle. Here I thought Franklin was the only one who liked Natalie. Now, it turns out that Sophia likes her a lot too. This “Natalie” sounds like the perfect candidate for my great–grandson‘s wife.

“What is Natalie like? Her character, I mean.”

criticized! Are all the second–born children not as loved as their firstborns? I just endured the kids‘ bullying, and now I have to put up with Grandpa‘s insults? Man, this sucks!

Meanwhile, Natalie sneezed in her sleep, and it woke her up.

She was the only person on the patient‘s bed; Samuel was no longer beside her.

Natalie then got up to use the private restroom inside her ward. However, upon arriving at the restroom‘s door, she overheard someone talking on the phone from inside.

The person murmured, “Xavian..”.

Hearing the mention of her child‘s name, Natalie instinctively leaned her ear against the door.

Is Samuel talking to Xavian on the phone? Why would this man have my son‘s contact number? And what‘s he planning to tell Xavian?Hang on. Why isn‘t he talking anymore?

She began to inch closer to the door.

Just then, the door flung forward as Samuel opened it from inside.
