Chapter 343
That night, Natalie received a message from Gerald.
Gerald: Natalie, there’s indeed an institution that has received your DNA samples, but I’ve already dealt with it. I knew it! Yara has indeed started suspecting my identity and sent my hair to conduct a test. Well, she would never have guessed that Gerald is involved in it. After all her efforts, she has drawn a blank.
Natalie was curious about how Yara would feel after receiving that fake report.
Pondering about it, she realized she was only torturing herself.
Whether Yara regretted her actions from five years ago, Natalie would never let her get away.
After all, what she did to me cost two innocent lives.
She could never forget the pain or the grief she had to go through.
“Mommy, can I sleep with you tonight?” A small voice suddenly sounded.
Sophia stood at the door, hugging a panda plushie in one hand and a pillow in another.
Seeing the sweet figure before her, Natalie felt her heart melt and was about to agree.
However, before she could open her mouth, Samuel picked the little girl up.
“I’m afraid you can’t do that tonight,” he whispered.
“Why not?” Sophia flashed her puppy eyes and cooed, “I’m scared. I want to sleep with Mommy.”
Samuel reasoned, “Your three older brothers will get jealous when they find out that you pestered Mommy to sleep with her. What will you do then?”
“Daddy, will they really get jealous?”
“Hmm, if Franklin does this, will you get jealous?” Samuel redirected the question back to her.
“Yes.”
Pondering about the situation, Sophia nodded guiltily.
“It’s already ten. You should go to sleep now.” Samuel looked serious and spoke with a firm tone.
“Okay.” Obediently, the little girl wrapped her arms around Samuel’s neck and kissed his cheek. “Goodnight, Daddy.”
After Samuel placed her down on the ground, Sophia reluctantly waved at Natalie before going back to her room.
Watching her walk away, Natalie eyes dimmed.
“Sophia is still young and a girl. You don’t have to teach her to be independent this early.” Natalie could not help but blurt out, “If I had a daughter like her, I would do everything to shower her with love.”
With one knee on the bed, Samuel lifted Natalie’s chin.
