A Cue for Love chapter 312 He Is Too Shallow The moon was bright, and there werenât many stars in the dark sky.
The autumn breeze was cooling and refreshing.
Natalie had spent the entire day in the autopsy laboratory.
The intense pressure from her work kept her on her toes every second. At last, she could finally catch a breath now.
Natalie caught a glimpse of Steven getting off his sports car.
Steven walked over to Natalie. âThere was something Sam had to deal with at the office, so he might not be back tonight.â
âOkay.â
Natalie nodded then placed her helmet on the handlebar.
âThen, why are you here?â
Steven explained with a chuckle, âGrandpa fetched the twins for lunch at his house after school ended.
I just brought them back from there. Theyâre currently sleeping in the backseat.â
âShall we carry them back to bed?â
Natalie opened the backseat door gently.
She bent down and carried Sophia out from the car.
Maybe it was Natalieâs warmth. Or the faint herby scent always surrounding her, Sophia wrapped her arms tightly over Natalieâs neck like a koala hanging on a tree.
âMom⦠Mommyâ¦â
âMommyâs here. Donât worry. Go to sleep.â
Natalie gently patted Sophiaâs back in a rhythm to bring the latter back to sleep. Patience and gentleness shone in her eyes.
In comparison, Steven seemed clumsy from the way he carried Franklin. Luckily, Franklin slept like a log. He merely mumbled something under his breath then allowed his Uncle Steven to carry him off to bed.
The two carried the twins back to their room.
Natalie tucked their blankets neatly over them. Then, she stealthily made her way out of the room after ensuring they were settled.
Steven was standing right by the door, watching her every move as she cared for the twins. His lips were pressed into a thin line as he looked on.
The difference between Natalieâs and Yaraâs earlier behavior struck a huge blow at him.
Yara were the twins biological mother.
Yet, she didnât even help when he carried the twins into the car earlier. All she cared about was Samuel.
In contrast, this woman, who wasnât related to the twins, had cared so sincerely for them.
At that point, Steven finally understood why the picky twins didnât care for anyone else other than this average woman.
Because she was worthy of their loyalty and love.
Natalie didnât know about the thoughts running through Stevenâs mind. She had never considered her actions to be worth bragging. They were simply what she would have done for her own kids.
âMs. Nichols, I have a question for you.â
âGo ahead.â Natalie turned to face him.
âWhat are you going to do if the twinsâ mother comes back?â Steven asked.
He thought his straightforward question would surprise her, but she merely replied casually, âNothing.
Iâm not going to do anything. Iâm fine as long as theyâre happy. If theyâre happy, so am I.â
Stevenâs body stiffened at her answer.
I used to be so confused as to why Sam would fall for such an average woman.
Samuel is indeed Samuel. I realized I was too shallow until this very moment.
Early morning, the next day.
Samuel didnât return home the entire night. And Natalie slept in due to exhaustion from the day before.
Only four small figures were eating and chatting at the dining table.
âFranklin, that woman seems kind of close to you.â With a half-eaten bread in his hand, Clayton asked, âI got nothing from your answer yesterday. It was too cursory. What exactly is your relationship with her?â
Sophia was sipping on her milk as she answered hurriedly, âClayton, she has nothing to do with us.â
âReally?â
Xavian and Clayton didnât believe her one bit.
In contrast to Sophiaâs nervousness, Franklin casually wiped the breadcrumbs on the corner of his mouth with a silk handkerchief. âWhich part of my answer yesterday were you confused about?
âI can repeat it a thousand times if you guys donât understand. âWe have nothing to do with her. That woman was only interested in marrying Daddy and not forgetting his position. She wants to be our mommy. Thatâs it.â
