Chapter 849 What Has Gotten Into You
As Kenneth wasn’t getting any younger, Natalie would examine his health often.
“The weather may have started to warm up lately, but your body needs time to slowly adjust. I’ll prescribe you some medication to help with that, so make sure you take them on time, okay?” Natalie said with a smile after taking his pulse.
“Thank you so much, Natalie!”
“Don’t mention it, Grandpa. Honestly, you really don’t have to keep thanking me for every little thing,” Natalie replied.
Kenneth sipped on his tea and exclaimed with a sigh, “Sometimes, I still dream of how I used to think Yara was my savior, and it reminds me of how foolish I used to be. Fortunately, we were able to correct that mistake and make things right before it was too late. I’m very glad to have found my real savior in time before I make even more irreversible mistakes!”
“We should just let bygones be bygones, Grandpa. Right now, I’m satisfied with having Franklin, Sophia, Xavian, Clayton, and Yumi by my side,” Natalie replied.
“You sure are incredibly mature despite your young age, Natalie!” Kenneth exclaimed while staring at her in admiration.
The more I know her, the more I am able to see her merits… Our family truly is blessed to have her as Samuel’s wife and as a mother for the kids!
After leaving the guesthouse, Steven’s mind was in a mess as he made a trip to the Bowers manor.
He tensed up in surprise when he got there and saw Natalie inside. “You… W-What are you doing here?”
“Steven! How could you be so rude to Natalie? Her presence is very much welcomed here! Are you trying to kick her out in front of me?” Kenneth scolded him angrily while putting his teacup down.
“I’m sorry, Grandpa. That’s not what I meant.” Steven glanced nervously at Natalie as he continued, “I-I just wasn’t expecting to see her here, that’s all!”
He had yet to regain his composure after seeing Samuel shirtless at Luna’s place earlier, so bumping into Natalie immediately after nearly drove him insane.
Natalie shot him a glance and asked with a faint smile, “What’s wrong, Steven? Why are you acting like you’ve just seen a ghost? Do I really look that scary to you?”
Steven rubbed his nose awkwardly as he explained, “O-Of course not! I was just a little surprised, that’s all! You and Grandpa are probably just overthinking things! Besides, I really love having you as a sister-in-law, so why would I not welcome you here?”
Kenneth stroked his beard as he said, “I suppose it is time for you and Samuel to plan your wedding.”
Natalie pursed her lips and kept quiet, but the look of joy and shyness in her eyes was clear as day. They had indeed been planning their wedding, and she was expecting for him to propose to her in a few days.
Steven felt a lot worse when he heard that and recalled what he had seen at the guesthouse earlier.
Had they seen how Samuel responded earlier, I doubt they’d be able to think that with such certainty!
Steven, who was usually a chatterbox, fell incredibly silent all of a sudden. On top of that, he even actively tried to avoid making eye contact with either of them.
When it was time to leave, Natalie excused herself and walked out of the mansion with Steven.
Being the more sensitive type, Natalie noticed something off about him and asked, “What’s gotten into you today, Steven? You looked really uncomfortable every time Samuel was brought up in our conversation earlier.”
