Chapter 25 Closer Than A Biological Mother

Franklin glanced at Sophia and said weakly, “Sophia, am I hallucinating from missing her too much?”

Sophia shook her head. Her eyes were filled with joy as she got up and ran toward the door.

She stood on her toes and unlocked the door.

As the door clicked open, Natalie saw Sophia wearing a yellow tutu skirt.

She was holding a teddy bear in her arms. It had a pair of dark eyes that glistened as beautifully as Sophia’s.

“Sophia…”

As Natalie uttered those words, the tears in Sophia’s eyes rolled down her little cheeks.

Not only that, the little girl hugged Natalie’s leg as tightly as she could.

With that, she let everything out and cried.

Natalie’s heart melted immediately, and her mind was in a mess.

She immediately knelt down and held Sophia in her arms to comfort her. “Don’t cry. I’m here now.”

There was no stopping Sophia. Even though Natalie was comforting her, she kept on weeping.

Natalie felt a sting in her heart as she held the sobbing little girl.

Meanwhile, Franklin put up a tough act before walking over to Natalie.

“What took you so long? Don’t you know how hard it was for me to wait for you? Why must I be the one to call you all the time? Can’t you call or visit us voluntarily?”

Natalie was at a loss for words.

“There won’t be a next time! Don’t let me do this again. It’s a struggle to starve.”

Natalie looked at Sophia and then at Franklin. She could feel her heart swell with love and sadness.

These two kids… They’re so silly. How could they starve themselves like this just to see me?

Natalie said softly, “All right, I understand. You two must be so hungry. Let’s go and eat now, okay?”

The children were having a hard time sticking to the hunger strike. Now that they got what they wanted, they went downstairs with Natalie obediently.

In the dining room, Gavin already had the housekeeper prepare all sorts of delicacies for the children.

Gavin might just be a member of the staff, but he genuinely loved Franklin and Sophia. Tears welled up in his eyes as he watched them walk into the dining room.

He also found himself getting more and impressed by Natalie.

Even though Natalie and Yara have the same last name, it seems like the children are closer to Natalie than they are to their mother.

The three of them then took their seats at the dining table.

Feeling famished, the children immediately began devouring all the food.

Natalie kept reminding them to slow down while peeling shrimps for them. She paid attention to distributing them evenly.

This was a habit she had gotten from taking care of Xavian and Clayton.

The brothers got along well usually, but they would fight if one of them felt that she was spoiling the other a little more.

After Franklin and Sophia finished eating, their bellies were round and full of food.

However, Sophia still had room for dessert. She made a gesture at Gavin, who brought over a chocolate mousse cake right away.

With that, Sophia tugged on Natalie’s sleeve.

Natalie turned her head and saw Sophia’s sweet little smile. She was holding a spoonful of cake to Natalie’s mouth.

Chocolate mousse cake was also one of Natalie’s favorites.

Besides, who could say no to such a little cutie? Natalie did not give it much thought and took a bite.

At that moment, a man’s low and magnetic voice came from the entrance.

“Are Franklin and Sophia still on their hunger strike?”
