Chapter 152
Franklin’s brows twisted into a scowling look. Displeased with the sight of Yara, he muttered to himself, “Why is she here again?”
Even Sophia shook her head. “A-Annoying…”
The two kids turned away from Yara and raced in the opposite direction.
To this, Yara tensed for a brief second. She then forced herself to maintain a smile as she cheerily trailed behind the children. “Franklin and Sophia. Why are you two running? Did you not hear me? Or are you running away from me on purpose?”
She was trying her best to please the twins.
However, the two refused to show her any respect.
“Stop right there!” Yara yelled at the top of her lungs. Offended, she approached the twins and warned, “I’m your mommy! What kid would treat their mom with such a rotten attitude that you’re showing me now?!”
“You’re not our Mommy!” Franklin snapped with a look of conviction.
“Not your Mommy?” Yara took a sharp inhale before scoffing confidently, “Didn’t your Daddy tell you that I’m the one who gave birth to the both of you?”
At that, Franklin and Sophia clenched their jaws.
While they did not trust Yara, they knew their father would never lie to them.
“So what if you did?” Franklin balled his fists and lifted his head high. “It’s not like Daddy would ever allow you to live with us! Quit trying so hard because we will never call you our Mommy!”
“Mm-hmm… We never…” Sophia added firmly.
Their words hit right on Yara’s sore spot.
Even so, she refused to give up.
“The two of you can never cut off our relationship no matter how much you want to,” Yara snarled before gripping Sophia’s arm tightly. “Come, now. I’ve reserved a table for us at a five-star hotel. There will be ice cream, chocolates and mousse cakes, so I’m sure the two of you will enjoy yourselves.”
Sophia mustered all of her strength to resist Yara’s grip.
She screamed, “I… No…!”
“How dare you!” Yara roared as she forcefully grabbed Sophia’s shoulder. “I made such a sincere effort to order all those desserts for you, and this is how you repay me? Well, I don’t care. You two are joining me whether you like it or not.”
Her long nails dug into Sophia’s shoulders.
Yara had intentionally picked on Sophia, knowing that the latter was weak and susceptible to pain.
True enough, Sophia began tearing up from Yara’s claw-like grip. She cried out, “P-Pain… Hurt…”
Despite that, Yara continued to sink her nails Into Sophla’s skin.
Forget playing nice! It’s not like these two are my biological children. I was probably too kind to them.
That must be why they’ve grown quite the nerve to treat me with such disrespect. I have to teach these two brats a lesson today!
“Let go of Sophia!” Franklin yanked Yara’s arm after seeing Sophia scream in pain. He thundered. “You’re an evil woman! Let go of her right now!”
“Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me with that tone, Franklin!” Yara reprimanded.
“I don’t care who you are!” Franklin was enraged as he bellowed hatefully, “I’ll make you pay dearly for hurting Sophia!”
Even though he was only a five-year-old, Franklin’s words gave off an air of murderous intent.
“How am I bullying Sophia?” Yara replied coldly, “I’m merely disciplining my child! I am your mommy! You don’t need another woman to give you the love of a mother! I can give it to you!”
Franklin sneered
Then, he lunged forward to bite down hard on Yara’s arm.
It did not take long before a trail of bloody teeth marks formed on her skin.
“Franklin! How dare you…” Yara bellowed, letting go of Sophia due to the stinging pain coursing through her arm.
After tasting blood in his mouth, Franklin let go of Yara and looked up at her. “I told you to leave my sister alone!”
Still disgruntled, he kicked Yara’s leg for good measure.
The latter fell to the ground as she did not expect Franklin’s attack.
A voice sounded from behind them just when Yara was about to reprimand the twins, “Franklin Bowers! Who taught you to behave like such a wild brat?! Stop your tantrum at once!”
