Chapter 891 Unable to Move on Part Five
Natalie was taken aback and stared at Sophia with mixed emotions.
“Sophia, I…” Natalie was speechless.
“Mommy, when will Daddy come to visit us?”
…
Natalie was unable to answer the question.
She refused to tell her children that she was abandoned by their father.
At the same time, Natalie had no idea how to ease the situation.
Presumably noticing Natalie’s hesitation, Sophia asked softly, “Is my question that hard to answer?”
Natalie was harsh on her sons, but when it came to Sophia, she had a soft spot for her. If it were Franklin, Xavian, or Clayton who asked the question, they would be lambasted almost immediately. Nonetheless, instead of feeling enraged at Sophia’s question, Natalie felt guilty and ashamed.
“It’s not hard.”
“Really?” Sophia’s eyes lit up with hope.
“Yes.” Natalie nodded. “Since when did Mommy lie to you? But Daddy is really occupied with work right now. It will not be convenient for him to travel to Loang. However, he will take time out from work to video call you when he is free.”
“That’s great!”
Just the thought of speaking to Samuel via a video call was enough to put a smile on Sophia’s face.
Natalie carried Sophia back to her room.
After the five children fell asleep, Natalie quietly exited the bedroom and headed toward the study.
Having made a promise to Sophia, Natalie was determined to keep it.
Natalie pulled out her phone and started browsing for Samuel’s number. She took three deep breaths before calling.
“Ring…”
He did not pick up the phone.
Just when Natalie wanted to put down the phone, she heard a familiar voice from the other end of the call.
“Hello.”
