The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 485

Franklin and Sophia were his precious grandchildren!

Though Kenneth did not like how they disrespected Yara, he still wished to maintain a close relationship with Franklin and Sophia.

But somehow, they seemed to have drifted apart.

He did not know what he did wrong and had no clue why his great-grandchildren were mad at him.

He would have broken down and cried if Xavian and Clayton were not with him.

Xavian could tell Kenneth was trying to hold back his tears. “Are you okay? You can talk to us if you’re upset.”

Clayton too, nodded. “Yes! We can lend you an ear.”

Their sincerity touched Kenneth. He then told them how Franklin and Sophia refused to reconcile with their biological mother no matter how hard he tried.

He also told the boys how the great-grandchildren resented him for it. Nonetheless, he did not reveal their names to Xavian and Clayton.

At this point, these two boys still had no idea Yara was Franklin’s and Sophia’s so-called biological mother. Hence, they did not associate their stories with Kenneth’s.

After telling his story, Kenneth expected Xavian and Clayton to understand him and take his side.

But Xavian threw out a question that even Kenneth could not answer. “But why would you try to mend their relationship if she’s their biological mother?”

“I think being able to spend time with my mommy is the happiest, isn’t it?” Clayton also expressed his doubt. “How we wish our Mommy could split into a few figures so that we could spend more time with her! It’s so weird that your great-grandkids refused to get close with their mommy.”

Their remarks rendered Kenneth speechless.

It was natural for children to be dependent on their mothers. By right, no one was needed to help mend their relationship, let alone force them.

But Kenneth had tried every possible way to bring Franklin and Sophia closer to Yara but to no avail.
