A Cue for Love Chapter 345

Chapter 345 A Fragile Porcelain Doll

Natalie’s heart soared at how protective Franklin and Sophia were over her.

She did not need them to defend her. However, her heart softened at how much they trusted and liked her.

“How do you know that the Bowers family will be yours to lead in the future?” Samuel replied.

“Daddy, you only have one son. Who else will take over your role if not me?” Franklin crossed his arms and raised his brows.

“Who says I only have one son?”

Samuel pinched his son’s face with some pressure.

“D-Daddy, who else—” Franklin stammered in pain.

“How do you know I don’t have other sons?”

Samuel finally released his grip on his son and glanced at Natalie as he spoke.

Feeling Samuel’s gaze on her, Natalie did not know how to react.

Is this a hint that he wants me to have children with him?

Although he had initiated countless intimate sessions with her, they never went all the way.

Natalie started to blush furiously, and she quickly turned her head to look out the car window.

With a smirk, Samuel did not continue.

In the banquet hall, everything looked grand and glamorous.

There was no question that it was a banquet held by the Bowers family. It was the most luxurious and lavish event that Natalie had ever attended. From the buffet to the wine, everything was top-notch.

The guests were also from reputable families who emitted an air of elegance.

The moment Samuel stepped into the ballroom, everyone turned their attention to him.

However, when they saw the lady beside him, they could not hide their surprise. Some guests started to talk among themselves and make sarcastic comments.

“Who the hell is that woman? I’ve never seen her before.”

“Is she their housekeeper?” Some started making assumptions about the fresh face in the room.

“Impossible! Why would they invite a housekeeper here? She has average looks, but I’m sure she isn’t their housekeeper from her vibe. Perhaps, she is a wealthy mistress from a foreign country.”

“Didn’t you hear the rumors that Mr. Bowers previously spent a whole month trying to look for a woman who fell into the water? Could that be her?”

Samuel could not be bothered by all those gossip and only wrapped his hand around Natalie’s tightly.

Although he said nothing, the gesture was enough to show who Natalie was to him.

Meanwhile, the two children stood beside Natalie. Every time someone commented about her, the twins would shoot death glares in the guest’s direction to stop them from making negative comments.

Standing in between Samuel and the twins, Natalie was amused.

I’m not a fragile porcelain doll. Why do these three people have to protect me to such an extent?

“Samuel, you’re here.”

In the distance, a middle-aged man in a gray suit slowly walked over. He had a pair of gold-rimmed frames perched on his nose, and he exuded a refined presence.

Although he was past forty, he did not look like it due to his perfect facial features and flawless skin.

The man was none other than Samuel’s third uncle, Silas Bowers.

“Uncle Silas, welcome back,” Samuel greeted.

“It’s been a long while, hasn’t it?” Silas chuckled while patting Samuel’s shoulder.

Samuel nodded in response.

Since Franklin and Sophia never met Silas, they did not take the initiative to greet him.

Noticing their silence, Samuel urged, “Franklin and Sophia, this is your Granduncle Silas.”

Nodding, the twins chorused, “Hello, Granduncle Silas.”

Silas bent down to gently touch their heads.

“So, both of you are Franklin and Sophia.” Taking out a red envelope, he passed it to the children. He teased, “Since it’s the first time I’m meeting both of you, here’s a bribe to gain your favor. Next time, I’ll bring you to the mall to choose a gift for you.”

Silas seemed like a man that was approachable and likeable.

Feeling grateful, the twins took the envelope and thanked him.

With a smile, Silas straightened and glanced at Natalie. “Is this Yara?”
