Chapter 113 Our Biological Father
I’m supposed to be their mommy, but these two little ones are always looking out for me. There have been so many times when I almost gave up during these past five years. Thankfully, motherhood and having these two by my side have helped me overcome my circumstances and transform into who I am today.
“Darling… Sweetheart…”
Natalie kissed Xavian and Clayton’s cheeks while silently thanking the heavens for blessing her with such perfect children.
It pained the boys to see their mother’s injury. Hence, they proceeded to bombard her with the information they gathered after searching up tips and advice to heal wounds online.
“Hang on. Clayton, shouldn’t you be at the filming set?” Natalie asked.
“I told my manager, Ms. Craig, that I needed to come back immediately when I heard about your injury. She helped rearrange my schedule so I could make a quick visit. Don’t worry. All I have to do is return to the set before eleven o’clock tonight. I’ll be able to complete everything tomorrow.”
Just then, Clayton seemed to recall something and hastily went on. “Mommy, my absence is no big deal! You should see how Yara is behaving at the filming set. She was somewhat passionate about the job when she first joined. However, these days, she’s been slacking. Can you believe it? Yara hired stunt doubles for both her fighting and normal scenes. What’s worse, she didn’t even show up for the past few days! Apart from her close-up scenes, she’s always using a body double or relying on post-editing.”
Xavian snorted, “What a waste… She doesn’t deserve to share the same face as Mommy.”
The boys had a feeling that Yara was their mother’s twin, especially after seeing the two women’s identical faces.
Despite the curiosity and suspicion they felt, the two dared not ask their mother about the matter.
“Xavian, Clayton.” Natalie’s gaze shifted between both of them as she held their little hands tightly. Her firm tone instructed, “You must stay away from her. Don’t ever assume that woman would behave like me just because she and I share an identical face.”
“Mommy…” the boys murmured.
It was the first time they saw their mother with a cold and ruthless look, almost as if her face had hardened to stone.
She then shocked them by stating, “Clayton, it seems like your drama won’t do too well.”
“What do you mean?” Clayton replied.
“I doubt the show will air.” Darkness flickered in Natalie’s gaze as she explained, “Yara will pay dearly for everything that she has done.”
Later on, Samuel returned with some delicious cuisine from Acapella.
Chicken and fish dishes were specially prepared for Xavian and Clayton, while Natalie had an oatmeal porridge.
She held her spoon, stirring aimlessly at her porridge with a begrudged look.
Eventually, Natalie spoke with a sweet and loving tone at her children. “Boys, how about you let me try some of your foo-”
Samuel shot a glare at her.
He snapped at lightning speed, “Don’t tell me that you intend to trick your children into giving you their food.”
Natalie’s lips pursed into a thin line when he exposed her intentions. She immediately defended herself by saying, “Nonsense! I’m their mommy. How can I do something as horrible as poach from my children? I would never!”
She then sighed internally and started eating the bland oatmeal porridge before her.
At that, Xavian and Clayton exchanged approving looks as Samuel had given them a good impression.
After dinner, Samuel tasked his assistant, Billy, to send Xavian home and drive Clayton back to the latter’s manager.
The boys started whispering to each other while Billy was driving the car over to them.
“Xavian, are you sure that Mr. Bowers has never seen Mommy’s true looks?” Clayton asked.
“Nope,” Xavian answered. “Mommy always wears the hyper-realistic mask when she goes out. I don’t think Mr. Bowers can figure out her identity even if he is someone with high intelligence levels.”
“In that case, I’m pretty sure he’s head over heels in love with Mommy, despite the blemishes all over her face. That must be why he’s always hanging out with her!” Clayton added.
“I agree.” Xavian nodded enthusiastically. He then remarked, “Plus, we look nearly identical to Samuel. I’m pretty sure people will believe us if we claim to be his sons.”
“That’s true…” Clayton said.
Right then, a lightbulb lit up with the brightest idea in his head.
He hurriedly looked at his brother and asked, “Xavian, do you think that Samuel could be our biological father?”
