The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Upon hearing Natalie’s name being mentioned, Sophia walked up to Samuel and nodded vigorously.

Although we have been contacting Natalie on the internet, a meeting in person will be so much better;

Franklin glanced at his sister briefly and nodded his head as well. “Of course, we want to!”

Even though he wanted to see Natalie as well, his tiny eyebrows were furrowed by the thought of it. Then, his clear eyes looked at Samuel warily.

“But, it’s not right. Didn’t you disapprove of me being with Natalie, Daddy?” His eyebrows knitted more tightly as he continued to recall more things. “Are you trying to trick her into coming so you can bully her because I like Natalie very much?”

“Can you stop calling her that affectionately?”

“Why can’t I call her that way? She agreed to it.”

“Even if she had agreed to it, I don’t agree to it.”

“Daddy, you…

Franklin was pissed off as he would never have thought that Samuel would stop him from pursuing a girl he really liked.

Meanwhile, Samuel was in no better situation than Franklin was. If he did not confirm that Franklin was his son, he would have thrown the young kid out of the Bowers residence.

“Do the two of you want to see her or not?”

Franklin and Sophia exchanged looks and nodded in unison.

“Franklin, you have to do this. I will give her a call later.”

After listening to Samuel’s plan, doubt appeared on Franklin’s chubby face. “Daddy, t-this is lying to Natalie, isn’t it? If she finds out, won’t she think that I’m not innocent

anymore?”

“Then should we not?” Narrowing his eyes, there was a glint of subtle softness in Samuel’s eyes.

For a while, Franklin had an internal conflict within himself. Finally, he could not refuse the temptation of meeting Natalie and spoke in a serious tone.

“Daddy, let’s lie.”

Meanwhile, Ross had sent Natalie and Xavian home safely.

After cleaning himself up, Xavian went back to his bedroom to play on the computer. Natalie, on the other hand, went back to her bedroom and looked at the financial reports that Yandel had sent to her.

Glancing at the number, it was from the Bowers residence. Could it be Franklin?
