Chapter 112 Your Darling And Sweetheart
The door opened as Natalie’s two little ones walked in.
“Mommy…” Xavian and Clayton murmured.
Their gazes locked onto Natalie, who lay on the bed with her face flushed bright red from embarrassment.
Clayton had been traveling to different locations for filming jobs ever since he got discovered by a talent scout at a young age.
After receiving news of Natalie’s injury, he instantly dropped his filming schedule and rushed over.
“Mommy, are you hurt?” Clayton took off his sunglasses and asked frantically, “Do you have a fever, Mommy? Why is your face so red?”
Xavian chimed in, “Clayton’s right, Mommy. Your face looks awfully red!”
Natalie was dumbfounded. She sheepishly held her flushed cheeks while remaining silent.
I don’t have a fever, but I can’t tell them why I’m blushing…
Thankfully, Samuel walked out of the restroom right then and rescued her from the awkward situation.
“Your mommy is not down with a fever.” Samuel rolled up his sleeves and glanced at Natalie while explaining, “She’s… Well, her body is probably heating up slightly because she’s not used to being in the hospital.”
Natalie’s eyes widened in shock, incredulous that Samuel could lie to the boys without even batting an eyelid.
Why that little… My cheeks wouldn’t be bright red like a baboon’s ass right now if he hadn’t touched my thighs earlier!
Nonetheless, she could not reveal the truth. Natalie swallowed her steaming rage and nodded at his explanation.
“Is this our stepfath-” Clayton realized that he had made a rash conclusion and quickly corrected, “Oh, my bad… I meant to ask if he is Mr. Bowers.”
“That’s right, Clayton! He’s the man that I’ve been telling you about when you were away for work.” Mischief flashed past Xavian’s eyes as he elaborated, “What perfect timing! You can finally meet him in person today.”
Upon hearing that, Clayton began sizing up Samuel, who did the same to the former.
Clayton and Xavian were brothers but not twins; as the older brother, Clayton’s features appeared way more defined than Xavian’s.
“You guys…” Natalie looked at Samuel before turning back to Xavian and Clayton.
She had always felt that Xavian bore a striking resemblance to Samuel. Now, Clayton’s shared similarity with the other two only served to confirm her thoughts.
Despite that confirmation, she refused to believe the bold theory behind the three’s resemblance was reality.
Did Samuel and I…? No way! That’s ridiculous! There’s no way that he’s the man who took my virginity. It could be any living, breathing male on this earth, but it would never be Samuel.
“Hmm? You were saying?” Samuel raised an eyebrow while prompting, “Is there something wrong with me and the boys?”
“I… was only asking if you guys wanted to eat anything.” Natalie decided not to voice her doubts. Instead, she rubbed her tummy while grumbling, “I’m famished.”
Samuel turned to the boys and asked, “What would you two like to eat?”
“I want some chicken.”
“Fish for me, please.”
“Alright. I’ll have that arranged,” Samuel said with a nod before turning to leave the ward.
Natalie frowned as her scowling voice spoke up at once. “Why didn’t you ask me what I wanted to have?”
Samuel had not bothered to turn around. He merely replied, “You will have an oatmeal porridge, and that’s final.”
Once Samuel left, Xavian and Clayton bolted over to each side of Natalie’s bed.
“Mommy, Mommy!” Xavian anxiously said. He was still worried as he had noticed Natalie’s profuse bleeding. “Are you really okay?”
“It hurt so much at first,” Natalie explained but quickly flashed a cheery smile. “However, I feel so much better now that I get to see you two, my precious darling and sweetheart.”
Sadly, her words failed to reassure her sons.
Xavian shot a solemn look and stated, “Mommy, we’re not little three-year-olds anymore. You can’t lie to us now that we’ve turned five.”
“We know that your pain tolerance is not the best,” Clayton added. “Please don’t try to act all tough in front of us. You can tell us the truth. After all, we’re your darling and sweetheart…”
Natalie felt a lump form at the back of her throat and a warm feeling in her chest upon hearing those words.
