A Cue for Love novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 On Par With Samuel

Samuel’s gaze darkened, and she could see the faint outline of his veins under his shirt.

“It looks like he has an important place in your heart.”

“Obviously. I call him Sweetheart,” Natalie sighed.

Xavian and Clayton were the two most important people in her life. She was willing to give up anything for them.

Samuel’s gaze turned cold. “If you have an opportunity to meet someone next time, what kind of man would sweep you off your feet, Ms. Nichols?”

She remained silent.

Natalie sensed that he was unhappy, but she wasn’t sure of the reason.

She was still wearing the hyper-realistic mask that was ugly enough to make people cry. How jealous did Samuel have to be to still feel that way?

The first thing Natalie did when she returned home was to take off the mask.

Although it was made to look indistinguishable from a real face, ultimately, it was still a mask. Wearing it day and night made her feel stifled. She replaced it with a hydrating sheet mask and slumped on the couch.

Xavian brought an iced coke and sat down beside her. He watched her with wide eyes.

“Mommy, could you tell us what our stepdad is like?”

With her sheet mask on, Natalie couldn’t speak properly. She replied awkwardly, “What… What stepdad?”

“I heard his voice on the phone last night! Don’t treat me like a dumb three-year-old!” Five-year-old Xavian looked as if he understood everything. “Clayton and I have always been very supportive of your relationship, but… I have a small request. Stepdad has to at least be on the same level as Samuel!”

Natalie was caught completely off guard. She choked on her drink and started coughing aggressively.
