A Cue for Love Chapter 20

Staring at Samuel’s face, Natalie was dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word.

Right then, Xavian switched the computer screen to another interface. He then pointed at it.

“Samuel Bowers, the head of the wealthiest family in Chanaea. He’s thirty years old and has tens of billions of net worth. Doesn’t he look identical to Clayton and me? Clayton doesn’t look exactly the same as this man. But, Mommy, take a good look at me. Don’t Samuel and I look alike?”

Natalie cupped Xavian’s face and took a good look at him.

Oh my goodness! He does look identical to Samuel! The thought of comparing their looks never crossed my mind, for Samuel’s facial features are sharp, while Xavian has a chubby face. Now that Xavian mentioned it, he does look like he‘s a replica of Samuel.

“You guys do look a tiny bit alike, but he isn’t your and Clayton’s father.”

With his cheeks pinched by his mother, Xavian explained with a muffled voice, “Mommy, I look totally the same as him. H-He must be Daddy!”

“Sweetheart, don’t waste your time on him. Anyone can be your father but him.”

“Why?” he asked in astonishment.

“There’s no why.”

Having closed her eyes for a brief moment, Natalie turned around and closed the laptop. She then carried the boy to the bedroom. “Let’s go to bed.”

It was evident to the child that she was deliberately changing the subject. Afraid of upsetting her, Xavian stopped probing any further.

Quieted down, he wrapped his arms around Natalie’s neck and kissed her on the cheek. “Good night, Mommy.”

“Good night.”

After closing Xavian’s bedroom door, Natalie slumped against the wooden door, feeling a tight squeeze in her heart.

Over these five years, even though I’ve been doing my best as their mother, I could never substitute their yearning for a father’s love. Clayton and Xavian do indeed look identical to Samuel. However, it’s impossible that Samuel is their biological father. Yara would never have let him be involved with me. On top of that, Samuel isn’t someone who allows people to manipulate him either. He’d never fall for Yara’s scheme. It’s better to get the pain over with than to prolong the agony.

She knew that her words could break Xavian’s heart. However, all she wished for was to stop the latter from having false hopes.

In the meantime, Xavian was clutching onto his blanket in his bedroom. It seemed like Natalie’s words had no effect on him at all.

I must continue to look into more information about Samuel Bowers. Even if he isn’t our biological daddy, we’ll think of ways to make him our stepfather!

Clayton and Xavian had reached a consensus that only a man like Samuel was worthy of their intelligent, enchanting mother.

The next day, Samuel was having a meeting at Bowers Corporation.

Billy went to the waiting room to greet Steven, who had arrived at the office early. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He then told the latter regarding the incident between Samuel and “Yara” the day before.

Steven spat out the coffee he just sipped upon hearing that.

Billy handed a piece of tissue over to him without revealing his disgust. “Mr. Steven, please use this.”

“That’s impossible! No way! It can’t be happening!” Steven was in denial.

Billy shook his head in response. “Mr. Steven, initially, I didn’t understand why Sir and Ms. Nichols would have Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia together either. However, I get it now. Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that Sir was watching Ms. Nichols passionately.”

Steven could not hold himself back and spat out the coffee once again.

How could it be possible? Sam, who has never had any sex drive, stared at a woman with burning passion in his eyes? However,after knowing Billy for so many years, I can tell that anhonest man like him will never exaggerate.

Nonetheless, Steven still found something amiss about the incident.

Wait a minute! Isn’t Yara filming in Xenhall now? Did she come back secretly in the middle of filming?
