Chapter 283 Not Spared
Natalie agreed to stay for dinner.
Xavian and Clayton heaved a sigh of relief too.
“Thank you, Mr. Gavin.”
“Thank you, Mr. Gavin.”
The two of them bowed at Gavin in unison.
Gavin had never thought it was a tough job being a butler for the family since the two young boys had always been so considerate toward him.
Not only were they good-looking, but they were also very polite and elegant with their words and actions.
It was apparent that Natalie had raised them well, making Gavin look at her in a different light.
“You’re welcome. Go to the dining room and have your dinner!” urged Gavin dotingly.
“Okay!”
“Thank you!”
The two of them dropped their suitcases and dashed into the dining room.
Natalie was at a loss for words. If they continued staying there, she was afraid they would grow very attached to the place and be even more reluctant to leave.
When she entered the dining room, she saw that Samuel and the four kids had already sat down. Only the seat next to Samuel was empty.
She did not want to sit next to him, but there was nowhere else for her to choose.
After everyone was seated, the six of them began eating.
Although Samuel was eating, his gaze had never left Natalie.
The latter did not say anything and merely ate with her head hung low.
Only the sounds of people chewing could be heard at the dining table.
Among the four children, only Sophia was still quite clueless because of her young age. However, the other three boys had already noticed the strange atmosphere between Natalie and Samuel. Though the two adults were never intimate to start with, they did not act so strangely like now. Did they have an argument?
For the past two weeks, Samuel and Natalie had been in Livingsfill.
The four children had already reached a mutual understanding that they would help Samuel pursue Natalie.
If they got their marriage certificate like the couples in the television shows, they would have parents and a happy family.
With their minds immersed in thoughts, the three kids ate their meal in a state of worry.
They did not know what Samuel had done to make Natalie dislike him.
On the other hand, Natalie was oblivious to how troubled the children were because of her. She just wanted to finish dinner quickly and leave the Bowers residence with her children as soon as possible.
Finally, the meal ended.
When Natalie raised her head, she saw the three boys whispering among themselves.
“Should I pretend to have a stomachache?” Franklin volunteered bravely.
“It won’t work. With Mommy’s medical skills, she’ll take your pulse and figure out the truth.” After Xavian rejected that idea, he suggested, “Why don’t I say that I’ve eaten too much and need to use the toilet?”
“You’re so dumb, Xavian! How long can you poop for? We’ll still have to leave after you’re done,” rebuked Clayton.
“What should we do then?”
“Exactly! Don’t just say empty words, Clayton. What’s your solution?”
“Well… Xavian, why don’t you leave the USB drive here on purpose? When we go back, you can say that you’ve left the USB drive here and ask Mommy to bring us back to look for it.” Clayton thought for a long time before voicing his suggestion.
Franklin and Xavian agreed to that idea immediately.
“Not bad, Clayton!”
“As expected of you, Clayton.”
Although the three boys spoke softly, they were so engrossed that they did not notice Natalie standing behind them and overhearing their conversation.
“Very well… First, you’re going to leave the USB drive at the Bowers residence on purpose, then make me bring you back here?”
Natalie asked the three boys with a smile. However, the stern look in her eyes could not be concealed.
Flick!
Flick!
Natalie flicked Clayton and Xavian’s foreheads right after that.
Just when Franklin thought he would be spared, Natalie flicked his forehead mercilessly.
“Mr. Franklin, although you aren’t my son, you tried to plot against me with them. You won’t be spared.”
