A Cue for Love chapter 311 I Want Something âSamuel-â
Thinking she would see Samuelâs handsome face the minute she reached the door, but as the man in a crisp white shirt turned around, she realized it was Steven instead.
âOh, itâs you, Steven.â
Yara plastered a fake smile on her face, but it didnât mask the disappointment in her eyes.
Samuel had never given her his number. So the only way she could meet him was through the twins.
Samuel would usually ignore her.
But at least he would look and talk to her if the topic was about the twins.
But nowâ¦
âGood evening, Ms. Nichols.â Steven smiled at Yara. âIâm afraid itâs me instead of my brother. Sam has work to finish tonight. Knowing the twins are at Grandpaâs, he asked for my help to send them home.â
Yara nodded listlessly.
âAre the twins asleep?â
âThey are.â
âGood. Iâll carry them into the car.â
Yara simply muttered a nonchalant acknowledgment. Her disinterest in the twins was blatant.
After placing the twins safely in the car, Steven wrapped them with a blanket. Once he was sure they were all wrapped up nicely, he lightly shut the door.
He spun on his heels to see Yara standing behind him with a sullen look.
Assuming she was heavyhearted because of the twins, he comforted, âDonât worry. Even though the twins are cheeky, everyone at the Bowers residence pampers them. If anyone bullies them, as their uncle, Iâll be the first-â
Yara rudely interrupted him before he could finish. She voiced her opinion impatiently, âSteven, can I ask you for something?â
âHuh?â Steven gave her a puzzled look. âUm, what do you want?â
âCan you give me your brotherâs number?â Yara bit her lip and pleaded with him with hopeful eyes. âI know you might be troubled by my request, but it has been a while since I talked to him.â
Steven narrowed his eyes at her request. The light in his eyes slowly dimmed and kept his face expressionless.
Silence dragged on between them.
Yara was eager to have Samuelâs number, so she begged persistently.
âSteven, Iâm the mother to his babies. He had never acknowledged me as his wife for all these years.
All Iâm asking for is his number.â
âItâs best if you ask for his number from him.â Steven pressed his lips into a line. âIf you canât get it from him, you wonât get it from me.â
Steven may seem unruly and a playboy on the outside, but he was hard to approach.
Noticing his distance and cautiousness, Yara realized she was too hasty. She urgently explained, âSteven, Iâm sorry. I didnât mean to trouble you but I donât know why Iâm behaving like this. Maybe I love him too deeply?â
Steven stared at the beautiful woman in front of him. Not even a tiny bit of sympathy stirred at her pitiful expression.
âItâs late. I still have to send the twins back.â
Steven got in the car and stepped on the gas, leaving a trail of dust behind.
Yara couldnât help the tears streaming down her face as she stared at the two red streaks of taillights zooming off into the dark.
Five years.
It has been five years.
Why have I felt that victory was within my grasp? But my distance with Samuel now is growing wider?â
All of these are Natalieâs fault.
I will make sure that Natalie dies a painful death. How dare she try to steal Samuel away from me?
Arriving at the entrance of the Bowers residence, Steven saw Natalie getting off her bike, having just gotten home from work.
As she took off her helmet, the night breeze blew her bunched-up hair, fanning it out like she was in an advertisement. She looked absolutely dashing.
