Chapter 282 A Bug Bit Me

Natalie only remembered how Samuel had bitten her lips in the car when Sophia mentioned it.

Although it was not bleeding anymore, it might have left a scab.

“Well…”

Meeting Sophia’s clear gaze, Natalie blushed in embarrassment.

How can I explain to a five-year-old child that this is due to a kiss?

When the other three kids heard that Natalie’s lips were hurt, they gathered around and stared at her lips

simultaneously.

Franklin asked, “How did you get hurt?”

Xavian chimed in, “Does it hurt? Should I get you some anti-inflammatory medicine?”

Clayton, who was the sharpest, frowned and asked, “Mommy, the wound on your lips is quite deep. Did

something bite you?”

The four children were only five years old, so they were naturally clueless about passionate matters

among the adults.

Their clear eyes were only filled with concern and anxiety. It was evident that they had no other

inappropriate thoughts.

The more they acted like that, the more Natalie was unable to come up with a good excuse.

“A bug bit her lips,” explained Samuel as he leaned against the door casually.

Although he was the culprit, his gaze was filled with calmness and indifference. As a result, his lie

sounded more like a fact.

As Sophia had admired Samuel since she was young, she never doubted anything he said.

“What a powerful bug! It’s so mean!”

Sophia puffed her cheeks angrily.

Blushing, Natalie glanced at Samuel exasperatedly.

However, he merely met her gaze indifferently, not showing any hints of guilt for bullying her or lying to

the kids.

More importantly, he was staring at her with a meaningful look, as if she was his prey that would

inevitably end up in his belly.

Quickly averting her gaze, Natalie said, “Clayton, Xavian, you’ve been staying in the Bowers residence

for a long time now. I’ve already settled the matters over in Livingsfill, so you’ll go home with me tonight.”

Naturally, Clayton and Xavian were delighted that they could go home with Natalie.

However, after spending a week with Franklin and Sophia, they had developed a close relationship with

them.

“Mommy, can we go back after a few more days?” asked Xavian tentatively.

“No.” Natalie shook her head and asserted, “This isn’t our home. We’ll have to return to our own home

eventually.”

Xavian and Clayton exchanged glances, knowing that their mother had already decided.

Although they were reluctant to part with Franklin and Sophia, their mother was the most important

person to them.

“Mommy…”

“We understand…”

Xavian and Clayton went to pack their suitcases reluctantly, deliberately dragging their time while doing

so.

Standing beside Natalie, Franklin frowned and asked, “Did Daddy make you angry again? Is that why

you’re so eager to leave?”

Sophia chimed in softly, “Can’t you spend more time with us?”

Natalie bent down and looked them in the eyes.

Stroking Franklin’s and Sophia’s heads, she explained, “I don’t have to stay here in order to see you. I

promise you that even if I go home with Xavian and Clayton, we’ll still meet regularly.”

Looking at how Natalie spoke to Sophia and Franklin, Samuel could not help but feel jealous of his own

twins.

On the contrary, she always looked like she wished for nothing other than to escape whenever she saw

him.

Yet, she sounded so pleasant when she spoke to Franklin and Sophia.

Samuel suddenly started to doubt himself. Am I that detestable?

He went downstairs and gave Gavin orders.

Although the latter was surprised why Samuel would give him such instructions, he soon nodded in

understanding.

After Xavian and Clayton finished packing, Natalie brought them downstairs. At that moment, Gavin

walked over.

“Gavin…”

“Dinner’s ready, Ms. Natalie.”

“But…”

“I know that you’re coming today, so I specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for you.” Gavin rubbed his

palms together with a troubled look. “I’ve been preparing it since morning, just so you can eat something

delicious after returning to Dellmoor.”

Hearing how much effort Gavin had put into preparing dinner, Natalie couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

“All right then. Xavian, Clayton, and I will stay for dinner.”
