Chapter 309
Yara hated stray cats and dogs.
The thought of those appalling creatures coming close had bile filling up her throat. Her disgust intensified at the thought of rabies vaccinations after getting scratched or bitten by one of them.
“Sophia, do you understand what I’m saying?”
“I don’t.”
Sophia shook her head vigorously, yet she still carried the stray cat gently in her arms.
“Meow.”
“Are you hungry, Kitty?” Sophia gently caressed its head.
“Meow.”
“I’ll feed you, Kitty.”
Sophia picked up the freshly-peeled shrimp with her little hand and fed it to the kitten.
The kitten took a bite into the shrimp when it caught the sweet yet fishy smell. Its eyes sparkled at the taste as it gulped down the rest of the shrimp down. In a blink of an eye, the entire shrimp was gone.
Peeling the shrimps had Yara’s hands covered with the nasty smell. Her pretty manicured nails were also peeling off on the sides.
The twins didn’t want to eat it, but they fed it to the filthy cat. Have they done it on purpose just to spite me?
“Franklin, Sophia, I peeled all these shrimps for you. How can you guys feed all of them to the cat?” Yara’s temper spiked, and her voice turned shrill.
“Didn’t you say earlier that you wanted us to be happy?” Franklin raised his eyebrow and asked, “Can’t you see Sophia likes Kitty? Why are you getting mad at her?”
Yara’s face was burning red from Franklin’s challenging tone, then her gaze turned dark as she tried to keep it in check.
“You guys are playing a prank on me, am I right?”
“This doesn’t even count as a prank.” Franklin folded his arms over his chest and continued speaking like an adult. “Don’t even think about becoming our mom, simply because we’re blood related. We won’t agree to it, even if Daddy did.”
His defiant words had pushed Yara’s anger over the edge.
I have waited for five years. I have plotted for five years. I had been thinking every moment and trying my best to marry Samuel these five years. I thought the twins were my key to the Bowers family. However, they turned out to be my obstacle.Vile spawns!I should’ve left them to burn to death with their mother in the fire so they wouldn’t be my obstacle.
Yara clenched her fist tightly then slammed it on the table.
Her violent action startled the kitten in Sophia’s arms.
The kitten meowed from shock, then jumped away from Sophia’s arms to land beside Yara’s foot.
