A Cue for Love
Chapter 1226

By the time the children returned downstairs with a colorful blanket, they noticed that their mother had disappeared from the living room couch. “Where’s Mommy?”

“Wasn’t she here earlier?” “Did she go upstairs?” The children exchanged glances with each other before returning to the bedroom on the second floor, but their mother wasn’t there as well. Hence, they went to replace Emma.

“Mrs. Bunton, did you see our mommy?” Yumi asked anxiously. “We saw her in the living room earlier, but now she’s gone!” Emma was humming joyously when she saw the panic on the children’s faces and grinned. “No need to worry about her. She’s fine. Mr. Bowers brought her out just earlier.”

In response, Franklin tightened his tiny fist. “Daddy is going way overboard!” “Yeah! He snatched Mommy away without saying a word!” Sophia nodded in agreement. “She doesn’t belong to him alone!”

“We have responsibility to take care of Mommy, too!” “Even if Daddy wanted to bring Mommy out for fun, why didn’t he bring us with them? Daddy’s being unfair! Hmph!”

The children kept complaining about Samuel as they surrounded Emma. She was amused by their discussion. Just watching them chat with each other in a lively manner delighted her.

Meanwhile, Samuel took Natalie far away from Yaleview. The ride lasted for around three to four hours. She had a very comfortable and peaceful slumber as he drove the car steadily.

When she woke up, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, “What time is it right now, Samuel? Did I sleep for long? I need to call Yand-” Before she could finish her sentence, she stopped because she was shocked by the scene in front of her.

“A starry sky…” Putting down her hand that was rubbing her eyes, Natalie gazed at the dreamy and beautiful starry sky with child-like wonder, feeling as if she had entered a fairytale world.

It’s so gorgeous! I’ve seen plenty of starry skies before, but this one is absolutely magnificent! The best part is that the blinking stars look so close that I feel like I can pluck them right out of the sky. Natalie gasped in awe, utterly smitten by the scenery above her. “This is so stunning!” Meanwhile, Samuel was staring at her instead because he wasn’t that interested in the stars. “Do you like it, Nat?”

“Of course I do!” She nodded like a chick pecking at the feed. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, “Shouldn’t I be home right now? Why am I in this place? You didn’t drive me all the way here while I was sleeping, did you?”

Her speculation was swiftly confirmed by him. “I did.” “You drove for hours just so I could see this starry sky?” “Mhm.” Samuel smiled at her affectionately. “My instinct told me you’d love this view, so I brought you here as a surprise.”

“A surprise?” That phrase prompted Natalie to ponder the reason behind his action. “Is this at special day? Let’s see… It’s not our birthday, and aside from our marriage anniversary, I don’t think we have any other special days. Why did you suddenly come up with the idea to surprise me?”

It was then a shiny ring appeared in her view.
