Chapter 533 Our Hard Work Is Wasted

Natalie was confused when Franklin and Sophia pointed at her in unison.

Since their drivers happened to be on leave, Natalie had to drive them to Kenneth’s house.

“I-”

When Natalie wanted to explain, Franklin quickly interjected, “Great-grandpa, I initially didn’t want to talk to you.

However, Mommy said that blood is thicker than water. She explained that since you’re Daddy’s grandpa and our

great-grandpa, we can’t be mad at you but should love you instead.”

Sophia chimed in with her cute voice, “Indeed! We used to think that you’re overly petty, but Mommy asked us not

to give you the cold shoulder because of her. She also said you’ll be heartbroken if we don’t talk to you on

purpose.”

Natalie was rendered speechless.

Although Natalie did say something similar before, they described it in a way that she was seemingly a noble and

righteous woman.

As Kenneth gazed at Natalie, the sternness on his face slowly faded away. “Is it true? Did she say so to you?”

Franklin raised his eyebrows. “Of course! Didn’t you see that she carried Sophia with one arm and held my hand

with the other when entering your house? Why would she do so if she was reluctant to let us see you?”

Immediately, Sophia nodded her head in response. “Yes! Great-grandpa, my brother and I are only five years old.

Since we don’t know much, how can we lie to you?”

After a short moment of confusion, Natalie finally realized what the children intended to do.

They want to help me make a good impression before Kenneth!

Before Natalie could say anything, Kenneth invited her in. “Why don’t you come in and have a seat?”

“Well-”

When Natalie hesitated, Kenneth heaved a sigh and said, “As an elder, I’ve invited you. I believe you won’t turn me

down, right?”

“No…”

“In that case, come in and sit down.” With that, Kenneth entered the house with his walking stick.

Natalie had no choice but to follow Kenneth into the living room.

After everyone was seated, the butler asked the maids to prepare tea for Natalie and yogurt for Franklin and

Sophia.

Then, Franklin grabbed the chance to hand over a jade pendant to Kenneth. “Great-grandpa, Mommy wants to give

you this beautiful jade pendant with a horse engraving. She always wanted to gift it to you but didn’t have a chance

to do so. Hence, I’m handing it over to you now…”

While most elders preferred dragons, Kenneth was fond of horses.

Kenneth immediately took a closer look at the jade pendant. Within seconds, he could tell that it was of high quality.

Besides, the horse engraving on the jade pendant, looked as if it was alive. It was certainly done by a reputable

artist.

At that moment, Kenneth felt that Natalie was thoughtful by giving him the nice-looking jade pendant.

While Kenneth was deep in thought, Sophia handed over a handkerchief to him and explained, “Great-grandpa,

Mommy also wants to give this to you. The beautiful flower embroidered on it is our late great-grandma’s favorite.”

Kenneth’s late wife loved lotus, for it symbolized purity and elegance even though it grew in the mud.

Deep down, Kenneth was impressed by Natalie’s thoughtfulness. All the more so, the gifts were just to his liking.

Nonetheless, Natalie actually didn’t prepare the gifts.

She didn’t expect the two kids to make up stories to help her by giving Kenneth some gifts in her name.

At that moment, Natalie felt amused and speechless by their thoughtfulness.

Although Natalie understood their kind intention, she didn’t wish to claim the credit.

After a while, Natalie looked up and said, “Old Mr. Bowers, The children said so because they were kind-hearted.

Nonetheless, I should explain it to you. I didn’t prepare the gifts for you.”
