Chapter 99
Sophia puffed up her cheeks as she blew on Samuel‘s wound.
After that, she lifted her face and looked at Samuel, eyes brimming with tears. “It hurts...”
“It doesn‘t. I‘ve made you worry.”
Samuel picked Sophia up and caressed her hair gently.
Sophia‘s body was extremely soft. She wrapped her arms around Samuel‘s neck and hugged him in distress.
Sophia looks so much like that woman. But, why does that woman refuse to get close to me? She even thinks I‘m dirty, for goodness sake.
“Sophia, why doesn‘t she feel distress for me like you do?”
She?
Samuel did not mention who he was talking about, but Sophia could tell that it was Natalie.
What happened between Natalie and Daddy?
Sophia was happy that Natalie treated her well.
However, she noticed that the latter liked her and Franklin, but disliked her father.
At that thought, Sophia became upset.
She wanted Natalie to become her mother, and wished that the latter could be with Samuel
Although Samuel never showed that he liked Natalie, Sophia could tell that he loved Natalie dearly.
Back then, even though Daddy stayed with Franklin and me, he rarely smiled. Ever since Natalie appeared, I feel that Daddy is not as cold as before anymore. I‘m starting to see the warmth in his eyes.
“M–Mommy will...” Sophia tightened her arms around Samuel‘s neck as she stammered, “L–Like... You...‘
Having heard that, Samuel smiled faintly.
“I made a mistake and missed the chance to be with her a long time ago.” He paused and added, “This time, I will not let her leave us again.”
The next day, Sophia did not see Samuel at the dining table.
She was swinging her legs while looking around for her father.
“Ms. Sophia, are you looking for Mr. Samuel? He has left for work,” Gavin said with a polite smile.
Daddy bled so much. Why did he go to work?
No! Daddy likes Natalie so much. I have to help him.
Ill do this on my own!
