Chapter 743 The Four Fervent Fans
The four kids shifted their gazes reluctantly away from their books and dragged themselves to the dining table to have some fruits.
Meanwhile, Gavin pulled Natalie to a corner of the living room. He looked troubled as if something was bugging him.
Sensing his hesitation, Natalie cut to the chase. “Gavin, just speak your mind.”
After pondering for a while, he stated warily, “I’ve heard about the tragic fate of Old Mr. Bowers, and I never doubt that you have nothing to do with it. However, everyone in the Bowers family is talking behind you, claiming you as…”
His voice trailed off as he paused, considering that Natalie might get upset with his words. Even so, the latter flashed him a mischievous smile and joked, “Are they claiming that I’m a witch that appeared out of the blue, deluding their patriarch and stirring up turbulence in their family?”
Gavin was momentarily stunned before nodding in embarrassment.
“Don’t get me wrong. I only intend to let you know that Mr. Samuel is leaving no stones unturned to clear your name and being protective of you so that you won’t be affected by those rumors. But if he fails to do so, I hope you won’t blame him,” Gavin advised her earnestly. In his eyes, Natalie was not only the spouse of his respectable young master but also a youngster he doted.
Seconds later, he added resignedly, “I’ve been by Mr. Samuel’s side for years. Obviously, he’s deeply in love with you. Nonetheless, Old Mr. Bowers was the former patriarch of the Bowers family, and everyone had a reverence for him all these years. Now that he met his tragic end mysteriously, I’m worried the worst is yet to come for you, other than the others’ oppressive rebuke. Thus, I hope you can stay strong and be mentally prepared for that.”
Feeling touched by Gavin’s words of advice, Natalie nodded and reassured him, “Gavin, don’t worry. I know what to do.”
“All right. I’m relieved that you say so.” Gavin heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon, it was the day Samuel promised to unearth the truth behind Kenneth’s death and give the Bowers family an explanation.
He woke up earlier than usual in the morning. After changing into a black shirt that contoured his broad shoulders and narrow waist, he exuded an impressive vibe of dignity.
Samuel moved as silently as possible so that he would not wake Natalie up. He stepped out after planting a light kiss on her forehead.
