Chapter 113
I‘m supposed to be their mommy, but these two little ones are always looking out for me. There have been so many times when I almost gave up during these past five years. Thankfully, motherhood and having these two by my side have helped me overcome my circumstances and transform into who I am today.
“Darling… Sweetheart.”
Natalie kissed Xavian and Clayton’s cheeks while silently thanking the heavens for blessing her with such perfect children.
It pained the boys to see their mother’s injury. Hence, they proceeded to bombard her with the information they gathered after searching up tips and advice to heal wounds online.
“Hang on. Clayton, shouldn’t you be at the filming set?” Natalie asked.
“I told my manager, Ms. Craig, that I needed to come back immediately when I heard about your injury. She helped rearrange my schedule so I could make a quick visit. Don’t worry. All I have to do is return to the set before eleven o‘clock tonight. I’ll be able to complete everything tomorrow.”
Just then, Clayton seemed to recall something and hastily went on. “Mommy, my absence is no big deal! You should see how Yara is behaving at the filming set. She was somewhat passionate about the job when she first joined. However, these days, she’s been slacking. Can you believe it? Yara hired stunt doubles for both her fighting and normal scenes. What’s worse, she didn’t even show up for the past few days! Apart from her close-up scenes, she’s always using a body double or relying on post editing.”
Xavian snorted, “What a waste… She doesn’t deserve to share the same face as Mommy.”
The boys had a feeling that Yara was their mother’s twin, especially after seeing the two women’s identical faces.
Despite the curiosity and suspicion they felt, the two dared not ask their mother about the matter.
“Nope,” Xavian answered. “Mommy always wears the hyper-realistic mask when she goes out. I don’t think Mr. Bowers can figure out her identity even if he is someone with high intelligence levels.”
