Chapter 1025 Will Not Disappoint Them
In the afternoon, the plane Steven took cut across the sky and landed at Yaleview International Airport.
After arriving in the city, he eagerly rushed to Natalie and Samuel’s residence.
When Emma opened the door and saw yet another good-looking young man standing at the doorstep, she grew curious. What’s going on lately? Ever since I started working for this family, all the men I saw are more handsome than the celebrities on television.
“Who are you?” she asked hesitantly.
“I’m here for—”
Steven was just about to answer Emma when he heard Franklin and Sophia walking toward him.
Sophia crinkled her bright eyes upon noticing that Steven had also come to Yaleview. “Uncle Steven,” she called out to him softly.
“Ms. Sophia, Mr. Franklin, did you just call him Uncle Steven? He’s your—” Emma gasped in surprise.
“That’s right.” Franklin crossed his arms over his chest and nodded. “He’s Daddy’s younger brother, our uncle.”
Steven could not contain his excitement when he saw Franklin and Sophia again. At once, he wanted to dash over and embrace the cuddly girl.
Alas, it seemed that Franklin had seen through his intention as the boy pulled his sister behind him, leaving Steven’s arms hovering in the air.
“Franklin, I just wanted to hug Sophia.”
“That’s not allowed.” Franklin arched his brow and said domineeringly, “If you want to hug Sophia, you’ll have to go through me, Xavian, and Clayton. You have to get our permission first before you can touch her. Now that they’re both not here, this matter is non-negotiable.”
Steven was rendered speechless by his words.
No matter how long it has been, they still have me wrapped around their little fingers, even though I’m their uncle.
After finding out his identity, Emma hurriedly invited Steven into the house.
In the living room, Samuel was discussing something with Justin.
The latter was puzzled when he did not see Natalie anywhere, so he inquired, “Samuel, where’s Natalie?”
“She was tired last night. Since she might be busy again tonight, I asked her to rest now.” Samuel took a sip of coffee before answering him at a slow pace.
Ever since Natalie learned about the poison in his body, she had been burying herself in medical books and journals, despite saying nothing about it. It was all to find an antidote or any means to slow down the poison’s effects.
To conceal her real intention from him, she used work as an excuse to lock herself in the study and researched intensively, forgoing food and sleep. The night before, she stayed up late and only returned to the bedroom to sleep beside him at four in the morning.
The woman assumed that he knew nothing about it, but the truth was that he had been awake the whole time, waiting for her to get in bed with him.
The both of them tacitly put up an act. Perhaps it was not hard to see through each other’s acting. However, the couple had come to an unanimous decision to turn a blind eye to the truth.
Samuel’s answer was nothing out of the ordinary, but Justin took it to mean something far from pure and innocent.
Unable to suppress his shock, he coughed violently. “Samuel, your body is truly…”
At that moment, he was thoroughly impressed with Samuel’s physique.
He’s poisoned, yet he can still tire Natalie out until she needs to sleep in. And when she’s done resting, he plans to continue with it at night.
Seeing the astonishment on Justin’s face, Samuel knew he had misunderstood. “What nonsense are you spouting? You can make fun of me, but not her. She has been really tired lately… It’s all for my work and the poison inside of me…”
The realization dawned upon Justin. He was the one being vulgar. In an instant, he sobered and asked, “Natalie’s drained from work. Should we ask her to stop for a while?”
“Stop? Do you think money is what’s driving her to work so hard?” Samuel chuckled and answered his own question, “The reason she works so hard isn’t only for herself but for the thousands of employees working for her. She’s Dream’s chairwoman now, their leader. If she stops, her followers will have to stop too. She’d rather tire herself out than disappoint those that follow her loyally.”
