Chapter 1014 Report From The Children
“Hooray!” Sophia clapped her small hands with a bright smile. “From this day onward, we’re a family of seven! There’s Mommy, Daddy, Franklin, Clayton, Xavian, Yumi, and me! We’re going to live together every day and never leave each other!”
While the other four children didn’t say anything, there was a cheery smile on their faces.
Even though Emma had lived for half a century, she was still touched by such a happy scene.
Before she met Samuel, she wondered what the children’s father looked like. After she saw him with her own eyes, she thought he was an extraordinary man in many aspects, and he easily exceeded her expectation of him.
“See, Mrs. Bunton? I told you Daddy is handsome!” Clayton’s eyes were filled with pride when he said that.
Emma smiled and stuck up her thumb. “You’re right! You didn’t lie to me at all. He really is handsome!”
The children’s smiles became sweeter than honey when they heard their dad being praised.
“I just finished preparing dinner, actually. Please lead the children into the dining room. I’ll serve the dishes soon.” Emma smiled.
“All right. Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Bunton.” Natalie nodded.
It didn’t take long for Emma to serve dinner after Natalie and Samuel took the children into the dining room.
All five kids ate elegantly and quietly. When they did occasionally talk, they would finish chewing their food first. Natalie did the same. Samuel, of course, had the best eating manner among all of them.
Emma, who was watching them eat at the side, was impressed.
She finally understood that some things couldn’t be learned and could only be born with.
After dinner was over, she cleaned up the dishes.
It had been too long since the children saw Samuel, so they all clung to him instead of Natalie.
As the children’s father, the love Samuel showed them wasn’t any less than what Natalie could provide. However, he tended to hide his affection for them. Even though he still pretended to be calm while the children clung to him, he was very happy when he saw how much his children loved him.
Natalie just so happened to have something to take care of, so she went to the study by herself.
When only Samuel and the children were left in the room, they carried small stools and sat around their father.
“There’s something really important we need to tell you, Daddy,” Franklin uttered seriously.
“Oh? What is it?” Samuel unbuttoned his sleeves and rolled it up, revealing his muscular arms.
“Jerome, Mommy’s childhood friend really likes Mommy!” said Xavian. He then added, “If he hadn’t listened to his grandpa’s advice to become a soldier and instead followed Mommy to Chanaea, our daddy would probably be him, and not you.”
Clayton nodded. “Xavian is right. Jerome likes Mommy a lot. When we were in Loang, he treated us and Mommy really well. There was almost nothing we could complain about.”
Even Sophia couldn’t help but join in. “He’s a really good guy, Daddy! He didn’t treat us poorly just because we aren’t related to him by blood! In fact, I think he’s so in love with Mommy that he treats us well, too!”
Yumi spoke, too. “Daddy, the thing is… Mr. Sutton treats us well because he wants to, not because he’s pretending to. It’s a very rare thing!”
Thanks to the children’s description, Samuel gained a deeper understanding of Jerome. If he can become a major-general of Loang at such a young age, his abilities must be impressive. Still, his affection for Natalie far exceeded my expectations.
