Chapter 152
Franklin‘s brows twisted into a scowling look. Displeased with the sight of Yara, he muttered to himself, “Why is she here again?”
Even Sophia shook her head. “A–Annoying...
The two kids turned away from Yara and raced in the opposite direction.
To this, Yara tensed for a brief second. She then forced herself to maintain a smile as she cheerily trailed behind the children. “Franklin and Sophia. Why are you two running? Did you not hear me? Or are you running away from me on purpose?”
She was trying her best to please the twins.
However, the two refused to show her any respect.
“Stop right there!” Yara yelled at the top of her lungs. Offended, she approached the twins and warned, “I‘m your mommy! What kid would treat their mom with such a rotten attitude that you‘re showing me now?!“.
“You‘re not our Mommy!” Franklin snapped with a look of conviction.
“Not your Mommy?” Yara took a sharp inhale before scoffing confidently, “Didn‘t your Daddy tell you that I‘m the one who gave birth to the both of you?”
At that, Franklin and Sophia clenched their jaws.
While they did not trust Yara, they knew their father would never lie to them.
“So what if you did?” Franklin balled his fists and lifted his head high. “It‘s not like Daddy would ever allow you to live with us! Quit trying so hard because we will never call you our Mommy!”
“Mm–hmm... We never..” Sophia added firmly.
Their words hit right on Yara‘s sore spot.
Even so, she refused to give up.
“The two of you can never cut off our relationship no matter how much you want to,”
Yara snarled before gripping Sophia‘s arm tightly. “Come, now. I‘ve reserved a table for us at a five–star hotel. There will be ice cream, chocolates and mousse cakes, so
I‘m sure the two of you will enjoy yourselves.”
Sophia mustered all of her strength to resist Yara‘s grip.
She screamed, “I... No...!”
Forget playing nice! It‘s not like these two are my biological children. I was probably too kind to them. That must be why they‘ve grown quite the nerve to treat me with such disrespect. I have to teach these two brats a lesson today!
