A Cue for Love Chapter 110 Steven Is An Idiot After instructing Gavin to watch over the children, Steven followed Kenneth to the study on the second floor. âGrandpa-â
âHow could you?â Kenneth barked without a shred of mercy. âEven Sophia knows to speak up about this urgent matter. How could you not inform me about it at once?â
Ever since Franklin and Sophia were born, Stevenâs ranking in Kennethâs heart had dropped to the lowest. The latter became biased to the twins and no longer favored his grandson, Steven, as much.
âI-I forgot.â
âYou forgot? How could you forget to update me on such a serious matter? You idiot! What good is your brain if you canât even use it to do something so simple?â Kenneth fumed.
I wouldâve spanked him on the butt if I had brought my cane with me.
On the other hand, Steven scratched his head while suppressing how furious he felt.
Idiot? Well, Iâve never seen an idiot as good-looking as me. Hmph! That old geezer doesnât know what heâs saying.
âHow did Sophiaâs condition improve so much? Did you guys manage to hire a professional to coach her?â Kenneth suddenly asked.
âNope. Her speech naturally improved after meeting Natalieâ¦â
At that, Kennethâs lips parted in surprise. âNatalie? Is that the girl who made Franklin want to return so urgently?â
âYep.â
A pleased smile spread on Kennethâs face as he mused, Well, Iâll be a monkeyâs uncle. Here I thought Franklin was the only one who liked Natalie. Now, it turns out that Sophia likes her a lot too. This âNatalieâ sounds like the perfect candidate for my great-grandsonâs wife.
âWhat is Natalie like? Her character, I mean.â
Steven pondered for a while before answering, âSheâs decent. Even Sam, whoâs a picky person, approves of her. Most importantly, she got injured this time because she risked her life to protect Sophia.â
Kenneth stroked his beard with satisfaction. Hmm. She has excellent character and even knows how to care for Sophiaâs safety. That sounds ideal.
âWhat about her looks?â
âQuite ordinary, and maybe even a little ugly,â Steven mindlessly blurted out. He then realized how harsh his words were and quickly added, âBut Sam, Franklin, and Sophia find her attractive.â
As soon as he finished, Kenneth scrutinized him with a look of disdain. âYou idiot⦠It sounds like youâre the only one with poor taste, then.â
At that, Stevenâs jaw dropped. Now, heâs saying that I have bad taste in women?
After interrogating Steven, Kenneth now had a good impression of Natalie. He nodded to himself. It looks like this âNatalieâ is an excellent candidate to become my great-grandsonâs wife.
He then suggested with a cheery grin, âSteven, since Franklin likes Natalie so much, letâs meet up with her parents and discuss the possibility of an arranged marriageâ¦â
Hearing this, Steven instantly paled and asked, âGrandpa, you want to make Natalie your great-
grandsonâs wife?â
âIs there a problem with that?â Kenneth shot a side-eyed glare.
âThis Natalie⦠turns twenty-five years old this year.â Steven blinked before resuming in an awkward tone, âGrandpa, are⦠you sure about the whole marriage thing?â
Kenneth let out a few intense coughs before glaring at his grandson. âYou idiot! Why didnât you tell me this crucial information earlier?â
âBut Grandpa, you didnât askâ¦â
âHow dare you talk back to me?â
Steven cradled his head and mumbled inwardly. Why am I always the one getting criticized? Are all the second-born children not as loved as their firstborns? I just endured the kidsâ bullying, and now I have to put up with Grandpaâs insults? Man, this sucks!
Meanwhile, Natalie sneezed in her sleep, and it woke her up.
She was the only person on the patientâs bed; Samuel was no longer beside her.
Natalie then got up to use the private restroom inside her ward. However, upon arriving at the restroomâs door, she overheard someone talking on the phone from inside.
The person murmured, âXavianâ¦â
Hearing the mention of her childâs name, Natalie instinctively leaned her ear against the door.
Is Samuel talking to Xavian on the phone? Why would this man have my sonâs contact number? And whatâs he planning to tell Xavian? Hang on. Why isnât he talking anymore?
She began to inch closer to the door.
Just then, the door flung forward as Samuel opened it from inside.
