Chapter 147 You Can
Currently, Xavian and Samuel were the only ones left in the dining room.
After taking a bite of his food, Xavian asked curiously, “Mr. Bowers, when Mommy was drunk, was she scary?”
“She was not scary,” answered Samuel.
“Huh?”
“She was…” At that moment, Samuel thought of her seductive look. For the whole night, he was trying to control himself. After a short pause, he continued, “Frustrating.”
As Xavian saw Samuel’s darkened expression, he quickly changed the subject. “Mr. Bowers, don’t you think Sophia looks like my mommy?”
Upon hearing the question, Samuel narrowed his eyes and asked, “Does she?”
Looking at Samuel’s clueless reaction, Xavian slapped his forehead. I forgot Mommy had never removed her hyper-realistic mask in front of Mr. Bowers.
Unfortunately, Xavian could not take back his words. Hence, the only thing he could do now was to try to smooth things over. Anxiously, he explained, “Mr. Bowers, I… Yeah! What I meant was that their voices sounded similar!”
Samuel’s eyes darkened as he asked, “Xavian, do you have any idea where your biological father is right now?”
“No. I am not interested in knowing about that.” Xavian pursed his lips. “That jerk is probably either hiding somewhere or long dead.”
“However, I have to say that my mommy was just an unfortunate woman who met someone that mistreated her six years ago. I hope you wouldn’t look down on her just because she has me and my brother!” Xavian continued.
He liked Samuel very much. Despite that, if Samuel dared to judge Natalie because of her past, he would not be worthy of being his stepfather.
“I think you know I have children as well,” said Samuel as he stroked Xavian’s hair lovingly. “Therefore, your mommy and I are even.”
Thinking of Sophia’s cute looks, Xavian nodded in agreement happily. Although Sophia is not Mommy’s biological daughter, I want to pamper her whenever I see her.
