A Cue for Love novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Protecting Franklin

Yara clenched her teeth in hatred.

Franklin has been punished so much already. Why is he still choosing to remain silent?

Yara forced herself to speak. “Grandpa… Forget it. Since Franklin is this unwilling to admit it, don’t force him anymore. I don’t want him to hate me even more…”

“No! I am a man of my word.” Kenneth turned red with anger as he felt Yara had been bullied. “I’ll continue punishing him until he confesses.”

“No…” Yara feigned her objection while posing elegantly on the couch. She used a tissue to dab at the tears she had forced out from the corners of her eyes.

“Great-grandpa, you’re being foolish! This evil woman has got you by the balls!” Franklin shouted agitatedly.

“You… You…”

This provoked Kenneth even more. Just as he wanted to punish Franklin, a figure dashed out and stopped in front of him.

She hugged Franklin tightly from behind, shielding his small and frail body in her arms.

Her act caught Kenneth off guard, and the cane struck Natalie squarely on her back.

A low thud sounded where the cane hit flesh. It echoed louder than before.

Franklin opened his eyes and raised his head, surprised that he felt a warm hug instead of pain.

All he saw was Natalie’s face.

“Natalie, w-why are you here?”

Even though Franklin was scared and in pain, he resisted the tears.

At this very moment, however, his heart ached when he saw that Natalie had protected him by suffering the brunt of the cane instead.
