The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 

Faced with Samuel‘s question, Kenneth answered loudly and unashamedly, “Yes, I caned him. Franklin is my great–grandson, and he did something wrong but refused to apologize. How is there anything wrong with me caning him for misbehavior?” 

The old man then walked tremblingly toward Samuel before adding, “Why do you ask? Are you questioning my decision?” 

A subtle but murderous emotion gleamed in Samuel‘s darkened gaze at once. 

He bravely locked eyes with Kenneth and said, “Grandpa, Franklin is my son. I will personally discipline him for any of his wrongdoings, so please stop using your outdated and violent ways to educate my children as you did to Steven and me.” 

“You-” Kenneth was speechless. 

“I believe I‘ve made myself very clear, Grandpa.” 

Although Samuel did not use a single vulgar word, every word he said was profound.

Why would he rather have a fling with Natalie instead of marrying me, the mother to his children? She and I have the same face; most people can‘t even tell the difference between us. So why doesn‘t he feel the same way for me as he does for Natalie?

out a couple of fake tears. 

“I don‘t care,” Samuel snapped. 

His response to Yara made Kenneth‘s blood boil once more. 

The latter bellowed, “So that‘s how you usually treat Yara? With such disrespect? This lovely girl bore your children, but you don‘t even know how to cherish her. Instead, you fall head over heels in love with a hideously freckled woman! How absurd!”
