The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527 Too Many Surprises

At that moment, Xavian, Clayton, and even Malcolm’s expressions darkened.

“So you were lying, Grandpa. You don’t like our mommy,” Xavian said with a saddened expression.

“Don’t feel sad, Xavian.” Clayton took Xavian’s hand and turned toward Kenneth. “Since Grandpa hates Mommy, we’ll just have to cut ties with him!”

Even though the brothers were close with Kenneth, Natalie was the only choice they would make if forced to choose between the two.

Kenneth felt terrible and was at a loss for word.

Right then, Malcolm spoke begrudgingly. “Kenneth, let me tell you this. Your grandson is my senior apprentice, while Natalie is my junior apprentice. She’s a great person. Your great-granddaughter has already said it as nicely as she could. If it were me, I would have said that you were blind!”

Kenneth had experienced too many surprises in that one day, but what Malcolm said still gave him another round of shock.

“What did you just say? She’s your apprentice as well?”

“Of course!” Malcolm brushed his beard and replied angrily. “I’m not the type that would accept apprentices on a whim. That’s why I only have three apprentices so far. Your grandson is one of them, and the second is someone you don’t know. Natalie is the third!”

“Is she that good?”

“What nonsense is this!” Malcolm slammed his hand on the table. “Even though she’s a woman, she’d be better than your grandson if she grew up in a better environment! She always tells me how proud she is to have me as her master. But let me tell you, in a few years’ time, I would be the one proud to have her as my apprentice!”

“Then, the prescriptions that I showed you…”

“Don’t tell me Natalie was the one who wrote them?” Malcolm figured it out immediately.

At that point, no matter how reluctant Kenneth felt, the facts were all laid out in front of him.

“Yes.”

“No wonder I thought those prescriptions were amazing!” Malcolm slapped his thigh in ecstasy. “They were from my favorite apprentice! How could they not be?”

With that, gathering ended on a rather sour note.
