Chapter 114 Vile Brats
Daddy!
A glint of hope appeared in Xavian’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He then muttered, “No, Clayton. It’s impossible…”
“Xavian, how can you give up hope before we’ve even done a paternity test?” Clayton’s brows furrowed as he continued, “Think about it. Since both of us look alike with Mr. Bowers, it’s possible that he’s our father.”
“But Mr. Bowers has children of his own.” Xavian added solemnly, “He has a pair of twins. A boy and a girl. Plus, they’re also five-year-olds like us.”
Just like that, the flame of hope in Clayton’s heart became extinguished.
“D-Didn’t you mention that Mr. Bowers is single?”
“Yes. Mr. Bowers is single, but he has children…” Xavian patted his brother’s shoulder and added, “Mommy would have slipped up and eventually told us if he is actually our biological father. And, according to my observation, they just met recently. There is no way they knew each other before we were even born.”
A solemn look shrouded over the boys’ faces.
While the two loved their mother dearly, they secretly yearned to have a father to complete their family.
Unfortunately, they never managed to track their biological father down, despite searching for a long time.
Although they knew Samuel was unlikely their father, they could not help but want him to be.
At that moment, a voice spoke from behind them. “Clayton, shouldn’t you be at the filming set in Xenhall? What are you doing here?”
Xavian and Clayton turned around right away. With that, they saw Yara dressed in a white lace gown with her face covered in elegant makeup.
Since Clayton had worked alongside Yara for a month on the filming set, he had gotten accustomed to Yara’s face that greatly resembled his mother.
Contrarily, Xavian widened his eyes in bewilderment because he didn’t expect Yara to bear such a striking similarity to Natalie.
“My mom got admitted to this hospital. I’m heading back to Xenhall now that I’ve paid her a visit,” Clayton explained. He then nudged Xavian with his elbow to snap the latter out of his thoughts.
“I see.” Yara glanced at Xavian as she asked, “And this person standing next to you is…”
“He’s my younger brother.” Clayton added coldly, “What a coincidence. I’m surprised that you’re here and not working in Xenhall. It must be nice to go out and about. Unlike you, I’ve been rehearsing my lines with a middle-aged actor all week on set.”
Clayton was remarkably sly, despite being a young boy.
He intentionally provoked Yara because he knew that she was Natalie’s enemy.
Yara stiffened because everyone in the film crew had always pampered her. Even the director and the producers had to agree with her requests.
The only exception was Clayton, who would always behave disrespectfully and snarkily toward her.
There were times when Yara wanted to punish him but couldn’t because her manager advised against it, saying that she would seem petty for getting all worked up over a child’s mindless actions.
“What are you implying?” Yara glared at him.
“I’m merely telling the truth.” Clayton’s eyes narrowed as he asked, “Why? Is there something wrong with what I said?”
“Here’s a word of advice for you. The ‘I’m an innocent child’ act won’t protect you forever.”
“Protect me?” Clayton raised a brow and boldly retorted, “So, are you suggesting that you’re a scary monster who’s out to get me? Is that why I need protecting from you?”
“You…” Rage boiled under Yara’s skin.
Her earlier encounter with Sophia and Franklin had already put her in a foul mood. Now, she had not expected Clayton and Xavian to ruin her day by ridiculing her in public.
Is this how five-year-old kids behave nowadays? They’re like a bunch of unhinged, vile brats!
All of them were so skilled at arguing and making side comments that there was nothing Yara could do.
Right then, Billy’s Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of Xavian and Clayton.
The two boys opened the car door and hopped into the backseat.
Then, Billy departed the hospital with the boys.
Although Billy didn’t get out of the car, he saw Yara from the rearview mirror and decided to ask, “Was that Ms. Yara that you guys were talking to?”
