A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1221

Chapter 1221

Half an hour passed before Natalie returned home from buying the desserts she and her children loved the most.

'Tm back, Emma." When she stepped into her home, she was surprised that Emma wasn't there. Did she not hear me? Is she in the kitchen or keeping the children company upstairs?

Just as she wondered about Emma's whereabouts, she saw what was transpiring in the living room.

Sophia was sitting on Mikhail's back, giggling and urging him to run faster. Meanwhile, he crawled on the ground and held her in place with one hand so she wouldn't fall from his back.

As for Emma, she was standing at the side, watching the scene unfold indifferently, as though she had been desensitized.

Furrowing her eyebrows, Natalie asked, "What's going on?"

Her sudden voice prompted everyone to turn their attention to her.

Upon putting down the dessert in her hand, Natalie approached Sophia and attempted to remove the girl from Mikhail's back. Before she could do that, however, the girl leaped from his back and scampered to her mother like a cheery bird. "You're back, Mommy!"

"What are you..." Natalie was confounded.

"This mister is very nice, Mommy. When I said I wanted to play pretend to ride a horse, he played with me!" Sophia pointed at Mikhail, who was still on the ground, his face covered in sweat. He seemed pretty happy to have played with her.

Mister? I don't think he told Sophia his identity yet. It seems like she's just treating him as though he was just another senior. Natalie crouched before her daughter and advised, "He's not a spring chicken, Sophia, so his back may not be in good condition. If you want to play that next time, you should ask your daddy or Uncle Steven to do it instead. He's an old man, so if you want to play with him in the future, you mustn't treat him like that, okay?"
