Chapter 788 Behave Yourself
A few days later, the Bowers family ushered in another piece of good news.
Samuel’s uncle, Silas, has just welcomed a baby girl into his family not long ago. Since the family was in a solemn mood ever since the “death” of Kenneth, they wanted to throw a grand party to celebrate the baby being one-month-old to lift the mood.
Samuel, Natalie, Franklin, Sophia, Xavian, Clayton, and Yumi had all dressed up nicely to attend the party at Imperial Hotel.
Upon arriving, they found out that Silas had reserved the entire hotel for the party.
There were floors reserved specifically and divided for adults exchanging pleasantries, for guests to rest, and for the children’s leisure and entertainment. The venue was filled with food, drinks, and entertainment.
“Don’t you think Uncle Silas is overdoing it?” Natalie queried in shock.
“It’s all right.” Samuel wasn’t fazed by it. “Back then, Sophia’s party was even grander.”
“What?” Natalie frowned. “Sophia’s and Franklin’s parties were even more lavish?”
“We only organized a party for Sophia. Franklin didn’t get one.” Samuel took a glance at Franklin and added slowly, “We don’t need to organize a party for the boys. For them, a simple cake will do.”
Natalie kept mum. So I have nothing to do with the fact that he prefers daughters over sons. It’s just a thing among the Bowers family!
Steven had also arrived, and he was shocked to see another child. “S-Sam… Is this another child of yours with Natalie?” I thought having four kids is already a huge achievement! There’s another one? How fertile is Natalie, exactly?
Natalie shook her head and answered, “This is Yumi, and I’ve adopted her from the orphanage. She’s our fifth child!”
“Oh, I see!” Steven felt a headache coming as he stared at the dollface Yumi. I was already having a hard time dealing with four children prior to this. Now there’s another one? How am I supposed to entertain all of them at once?
While Steven was still grumbling inwardly, Samuel suddenly said, “Steven, it has been a while since the children played with you. They’ve missed you dearly! Since you’re here today, perhaps you can entertain them.”
As soon as the words fell, Steven saw all five of them staring at him with their bright eyes. I’m doomed! I bet Sam is just trying to have some alone time with Natalie, and that’s why he gave me the responsibility of looking after the children! How could he ditch his brother for a girl? His intentions are so obvious!
Despite his thoughts, Steven dared not to defy Samuel’s wishes. He merely accepted his fate and brought the kids to enjoy the food and entertainment provided.
Natalie couldn’t help but laugh when he saw how miserable Steven looked when he walked away. “Samuel, don’t you think you’re bullying him?”
“Isn’t that his fate as a younger brother?” Samuel smiled.
“Oh? That’s how it is?” Natalie puffed out her cheeks and pretended to be angry. “Will you do that to me one day?”
In response, Samuel leaned closely into Natalie’s back and whispered in her ear, “Why would I do that to you, Nat?” He was so close to her that she could feel his breath on her ear.
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat when Samuel suddenly got so close to her. She then turned around and saw his handsome face.
When their eyes met, they could feel each other’s breaths on their faces.
His eyes were filled with affection, and they were rather alluring.
I’m going nuts! Why is he getting better at flirting? Natalie looked at her surroundings and saw a bunch of people walking around. She then distanced herself from Samuel and urged, “There are so many people around, Samuel. Behave yourself!”
