Chapter 532 I Thought You Would Not Talk To Me

Franklin clenched his grip tightly on his seatbelt.

We’ve spent so much time discussing the plan to make Great-grandpa have a better impression of Mommy. If they never get to meet each other, how will he change his perception of her?

He then stealthily pinched himself on his buttock again, and tears welled up on the rims of his eyes again. “Mommy, Sophia has fallen asleep, but she has been looking forward to visiting Great-grandpa. C-Can you carry her inside? That way, she’ll surely be over the moon when she wakes up to see Great-grandpa later…”

Franklin and Sophia had always been sensible children and had barely ever requested Natalie to do anything for them.

Hence, it would never cross Natalie’s mind that the four children would devise a plan against her to improve her relationship with Kenneth.

Natalie turned to look at Franklin. Seeing tears swirling around his eyes, she could not bear to reject his earnest plea.

“All right, I’ll leave after leaving you guys to your great-grandpa.”

Unbuckling her seatbelt, Natalie opened the car door and got out of the driver’s seat. She then walked to the back seats to carry Sophia, who was still in a deep slumber.

In truth, the little girl was not asleep.

Worried that Natalie would see through the trick, she clenched her fingers so tightly they were nearly sweating. Her eyes remained shut, not daring to steal any peeks at all.

“Clayton, Xavian, I should be back shortly. Wait for me in the car in the meantime.”

“Okay.”

“All right.”

Xavian and Clayton’s replies were coherent.

Natalie then sauntered toward the manor while carrying Sophia in one of her arms and holding Franklin’s hand with another.

When the security at the manor saw the arrival of the two children, whom they had not seen for a long time, they were elated. Besides clearing the way immediately to allow their entry, they also specially reported their arrival to Kenneth.

Throughout their way in, Franklin had to guide Natalie since she had never visited the manor before.

“Mommy, this way.”

And under Franklin’s guidance, Natalie finally arrived before the luxurious and impressive-looking manor, with Sophia in her arms.

As Kenneth had received word of his precious grandchildren’s arrival, he could not contain the excitement of meeting them and thus was pacing around the room with his walking stick.

“Oh my… Franklin and Sophia, my precious babies…”

As he muttered to himself, he walked out to see the two children and, at the same time, Natalie.

“Y-You…” Kenneth’s pupils constricted at the sight of the woman before his eyes.

It did not cross Natalie’s mind that she would run into Kenneth since she had only wanted to pass Franklin and Sophia to the butler before heading back to the car.

Startled, it took her a moment to recover to her senses. But just as she was about to explain, Franklin let go of her hand and hopped over to Kenneth happily.

“Great-grandpa…”

Perhaps because Kenneth had not heard Franklin’s crisp and clear voice for a long while, it struck the former at the soft spot in his chest.

“Oh, my dear child!” He bent over and pulled Franklin into his warm embrace, unwilling to let him go.

“I miss you so much, Great-grandpa!”

“Me too.” A pang of melancholy surged within Kenneth at once.

“Great-grandpa, not only do I miss you. Sophia misses you a lot too!” Franklin pointed his tiny finger toward Sophia, whom Natalie was carrying in her arms.

As though the siblings were communicating through telepathy, Sophia rubbed her eyes at that very moment. She cast her sleepy gaze to Kenneth and sweetly said, “Great-grandpa!”

As soon as Natalie put Sophia down on the ground, the latter outstretched her two tiny arms and ran toward Kenneth.

“Great-grandpa, I miss you so much…”

The little girl’s sweet voice instantly left streams of hot tears flowing down Kenneth’s wrinkled face.

How could anyone, especially Kenneth, not love the two adorable kids?

“I-I… I thought you two said you won’t talk to me anymore?” Kenneth’s heart ached terribly. “Why did you change your mind to visit me?”

That sentence was what Franklin and Sophia had been anticipating.

Without hesitation, the two kids pointed their fingers in the direction of Natalie.

“It’s Mommy!”
