Chapter 200 Stop Bothering Me
Upon leaving the Collins residence, Natalie felt relieved.
After all, I’ve saved Christopher’s life. That lunatic should stop pestering me after this.
When she reached home, Natalie saw Xavian, Franklin, and Sophia waiting for her for dinner.
“I’m back,” Natalie said smilingly.
Upon seeing her, Xavian went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Meanwhile, Franklin helped his mother to put her medical kit aside as Sophia took a pair of slippers over to Natalie.
After putting the soft slippers on, Natalie walked to the dining room and saw a table full of delicious-looking dishes.
“Were you all waiting for me?”
Since Natalie had fallen asleep in the Collins residence, it was already half past seven in the evening when she arrived home. To her surprise, the three children were waiting for her to come home.
“I asked the two of them to eat first.” Xavian scratched his head. “But they insisted to wait for you with me.”
Franklin raised his chin. “Sophia and I are not hungry yet…”
However, just when he finished speaking, Sophia’s stomach growled.
Franklin wanted to blame his sister for embarrassing him, but his stomach growled at the next moment.
Xavian shook his head disapprovingly and glared at his siblings. “I told you two to eat first.”
Chuckling, Natalie poked Xavian’s tummy and asked, “Xavian, are you not hungry?”
“Of course not.” Xavian looked smug for several seconds before his stomach growled as well.
The three little children exchanged looks with each other before covering their bellies embarrassedly.
Natalie was touched by what they had done for her.
Are they angels? They’d rather starve to wait for me to have dinner together.
“I’m sorry… I was late.” She stroked their hair and explained apologetically, “Something went wrong during the process of treating a patient today. I’ll avoid this kind of situation in the future.”
The children nodded in unison.
Now that all of them were back at home, they dug in.
The little ones were clearly famished, as they quickly stuffed their mouths with food.
As Natalie ate, she gazed at them affectionately.
Although it was not the first time she watched them eat, she would never get bored of it.
After the meal, Natalie went to the living room to watch the television.
