The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 644

Chapter 644 How Have You Ended Up Like This

“We’re back…”

“Back?” Franklin cast them a stern look. “Do you know what time is it already? Do you have any idea how much difficulty we went through to cover up for you? If you didn’t show up…”

Franklin did not finish his sentence as he noticed traces of burn marks on Clayton’s arm.

“What happened to you guys?” Franklin walked over and supported Clayton. “Didn’t you go to meet your birth father? How did you end up like this?”

Clayton bit his lip. Before he could explain, the driver got down from his seat.

“Franklin, please lend me your jacket! Take it off now!” Clayton urged anxiously. “I don’t have time to explain it now. I will tell you the story about we get back!”

“You…”

Even though Franklin could not wrap his head around it, he took off his jacket without delay and handed it to Clayton.

Clayton endured the pain in his arm and immediately put on the jacket, covering his wounds.

Luis, the driver, walked toward them. He did not notice something was off Clayton. “Hello, everyone. I am here to take you guys home. Please get in the car!”

“Thanks!”

The four kids did not say much as they got into the car obediently.

Usually, they would engage in a conversation in the car. However, on the way back to the Bowers residence today, there was a dead silence inside the car.

Luis did not pay much attention to it, though. He thought the four kids were merely tired.

The drive lasted for half an hour until the car finally reached the Bowers residence.

Gavin displayed a smile after seeing them back. “Welcome home! Did you guys have a fun time? Come on. It’s cold outside. Let’s take off your jackets!”
