A Cue for Love novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282 A Bug Bit Me

Natalie only remembered how Samuel had bitten her lips in the car when Sophia mentioned it.

Although it was not bleeding anymore, it might have left a scab.

“Well…”

Meeting Sophia’s clear gaze, Natalie blushed in embarrassment.

How can I explain to a five-year-old child that this is due to a kiss?

When the other three kids heard that Natalie’s lips were hurt, they gathered around and stared at her lips simultaneously.

Franklin asked, “How did you get hurt?”

Xavian chimed in, “Does it hurt? Should I get you some anti-inflammatory medicine?”

Clayton, who was the sharpest, frowned and asked, “Mommy, the wound on your lips is quite deep. Did something bite you?”

The four children were only five years old, so they were naturally clueless about passionate matters among the adults.

Their clear eyes were only filled with concern and anxiety. It was evident that they had no other inappropriate thoughts.

The more they acted like that, the more Natalie was unable to come up with a good excuse.

“A bug bit her lips,” explained Samuel as he leaned against the door casually.

Although he was the culprit, his gaze was filled with calmness and indifference. As a result, his lie sounded more like a fact.

As Sophia had admired Samuel since she was young, she never doubted anything he said.

“What a powerful bug! It’s so mean!”

Sophia puffed her cheeks angrily.

Blushing, Natalie glanced at Samuel exasperatedly.

However, he merely met her gaze indifferently, not showing any hints of guilt for bullying her or lying to the kids.

More importantly, he was staring at her with a meaningful look, as if she was his prey that would inevitably end up in his belly.

Quickly averting her gaze, Natalie said, “Clayton, Xavian, you’ve been staying in the Bowers residence for a long time now. I’ve already settled the matters over in Livingsfill, so you’ll go home with me tonight.”

Naturally, Clayton and Xavian were delighted that they could go home with Natalie.

However, after spending a week with Franklin and Sophia, they had developed a close relationship with them.
