Chapter 531 Let Her Get More Sleep
“Hurray!” Sophia clapped her hands in excitement.
“Can we meet him tonight? We really miss Great-grandpa so much!” Franklin suggested.
Watching the scene from one side, Xavian and Clayton saw an opportunity and quickly lent a helping hand.
“Franklin and Sophia really miss their great-grandpa a lot, Mommy! They’ve mentioned it a couple of times when they’re with Xavian and me!”
“Mommy, please let them meet their great-grandpa tonight!”
Seeing how the kids were eager about meeting Kenneth, and since there was nothing to disagree about, Natalie nodded. “Sure, we’ll visit him tonight.”
With that, she instructed Gavin to make arrangements for their transport.
It was as though Gavin was overwhelmed with guilt that his gaze was floating around as he stuttered, “T-The chauffeurs have all taken a day off. T-They won’t be able to send Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia over to the manor…”
“They’ve all gone on a break?” Natalie narrowed her eyes as she questioned.
“Y-Yeah… A-All on a break.” Gavin nodded firmly.
“Are there any cars available?”
“Yes.” Gavin paused for a split second. “You want to-”
Without hesitation, Natalie interjected, “Gavin, can you give me the address to the Bowers manor? Franklin and Sophia miss their great-grandpa. I’ll drive them there to visit him and bring them back afterward.”
“That…”
Afraid that Kenneth would give Natalie a hard time while at the manor, Gavin seemed hesitant with his words.
But noticing the pleading gazes of Franklin and Sophia, Gavin let out a few dry coughs as he swallowed back those words he had wanted to say.
“The GPS has the address. I’ll get you a car right away.”
Not long after, a car pulled up in front of the Bowers residence.
Natalie got into the driver’s seat, Franklin took the passenger seat, and Sophia, Clayton, and Xavian entered the vehicle’s back seats.
“Sophia and Franklin are going to meet their great-grandpa. Why are the two of you in the car, Xavian, Clayton?” Natalie asked with her brows furrowed.
“Mommy, let Xavian and I follow along since we have nothing else to do either. I promise we won’t create trouble for you.” Clayton raised his arm as he said that.
“Yeah! Let us go together! I promise you that we won’t get into trouble.” Xavian also stuck his hand up high.
Being very clear that the pair of boys always knew their limits and would not go overboard, Natalie gave the green light to the boys’ request.
“All right!”
Natalie stepped on the accelerator, and at once, the car sped off toward the Bowers manor.
After around forty minutes, the car stopped steadily in front of the location.
“We’re here.”
Franklin unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to look at Natalie. “Mommy, aren’t you getting off the car and following us inside?”
“No.” Natalie shook her head and patiently explained, “You should know that Great-grandpa doesn’t like me. You all can head in by yourselves. I’ll stay out here so that I won’t ruin the atmosphere.”
Franklin sighed. It did not come off as a surprise to him that Natalie would refuse to accompany them back to the Bowers manor.
Thankfully, the four kids had thought of a plan beforehand.
“Mommy, it seems like Sophia has fallen asleep.” Xavian leaned close to Natalie and whispered. “She has been very hardworking while learning medicine from you. I bet she must be tired out after the class earlier since she was revising through the whole of last night.”
The sight of Sophia deep asleep with her arms wrapped tightly around her bunny plushie came into Natalie’s eyes as soon as she turned around.
Her breathing was slow and steady. It almost felt like she was in a deep and cozy sleep.
In that instant, Natalie had a sudden revelation—she had completely overlooked that Sophia was only but a young child. Despite her high attention span, how will she be able to withstand long hours of learning when even most adults can’t?
Franklin deliberately remarked, “Sophia keeps saying she wants to meet Great-grandpa just now. How can she fall asleep now? Clayton, hurry and wake her up!”
“No problem.” Clayton agreed readily.
Just as he was about to give Sophia a nudge, Natalie hurriedly tried to stop him. “She’s so exhausted that she fell asleep. Why are you all forcing her awake? Let her get more sleep!”
