Chapter 61
When Natalie heard Xavian‘s voice, panic rushed through her heart.
Her big round eyes widened in shock. Then, she glared fiercely at Samuel, who still had confusion in his eyes, and pushed him away as hard as she could.
However, it was too late.
The little kid had seen everything.
Xavian froze in shock when he took a clear look at Samuel‘s face. The next second, his eyes glistened slyly.
“Mister, have we met somewhere before?” he asked.
Samuel turned to see a boy wearing a red shirt and blue overalls.
Although the boy‘s attire was different from the one he wore in front of the restaurant last time, Samuel could recognize his adorable chubby face at once.
It‘s him?
Xavian looked the same age as Sophia and Franklin. Plus, he was calling Natalie “Mommy.”
On top of that, when Samuel saw Xavian‘s face which resembled him even more than Franklin did, he had a slight hunch.
Natalie had no idea that Samuel and Xavian had seen each other before. She thought that Xavian was only striking up a conversation with Samuel in this silly way because he had the intention of making the latter his stepfather.
To stop things from getting out of hand, Natalie bent over and covered Xavian‘s mouth with her hand.
She whispered into his ear with a voice that no one other than the two of them could hear, “Sweetheart, watch your mouth.”
Xavian nodded his head to show that he understood.
Natalie released her son slowly, and as she got up, she glanced at Samuel.
“This is my son, Xavian,” she introduced.
“Nice to meet you,” greeted Xavian with a nod.
As Samuel gradually recovered from the surprise, he narrowed his eyes as he stared at Xavian. The corners of his lips curled up into an attractive smile.
“Xavian?”
“Yes, it means ‘bright.”
“Such a pretty name.”
Does Samuel know my true identity and need me to treat some incurable disease of his? Or does he want to take over Dream? Is that why he forced himself to approach a woman like me?
