The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 153

The Promise of Happiness 

Chapter 153 

Kenneth alighted the Maybach that pulled up nearby. He then walked toward Franklin and Sophia with an icy expression before lecturing, “What kind of behavior is this? I heard that you two have been treating Yara poorly, but this is unacceptable! She gave birth to the both of you after ten difficult months of pregnancy. Is this how you repay your mother‘s hardships?” 

The twins fell silent as that was the first time Kenneth had yelled at them with such a harsh tone. 

However, the twins refused to give in... 

They thought in unison, Treat Yara as our mother? Never! Over our dead bodies! 

“Great–grandpa, I‘ve done nothing wrong!” Franklin exclaimed. “That woman started it! She forced us to call her our mommy, and she even hurt Sophia! I told her to let Sophia go, but she refused! Sophia was crying in pain!” 

He would not have reacted so violently if Yara had chosen to hurt him instead of his sister. 

Meanwhile, Kenneth‘s arrival had surprised Yara too. She did not expect him to witness Franklin‘s attack on her but was pleased that it worked in her favor. 

Yara knew the twins harbored a great deal of respect for Kenneth. Thus, she decided to brainwash the latter into taking her side. That way, the twins would have to think twice before ever disobeying her again. 

“It‘s my fault...” she uttered, fake tears rolling down her cheeks. “I know that you two don‘t like me very much, but I‘ve been trying my best. All I wanted was for us to spend some quality time today. I didn‘t think that you guys hated me that much..” 

“You‘re a wicked woman!” Franklin clenched his jaw. “Who would want to spend quality time with you? Why don‘t you talk about how you hurt Sophia?” 

“I would never do that!” Yara uttered pitifully. “I‘m your mother! Plus, all I want is to spoil Sophia rotten. Why would I ever hurt her?” 

“You‘re lying!” Franklin rebuked. 

Yara feigned a hurt expression as she said, “Fine. This is all my fault, okay? Please don‘t be upset...” 

Franklin was a smart kid, but he could never win against Yara‘s sly acting.
