Chapter 64

Father and son? How ridiculous! I must be imagining things!

Natalie bit her lip and shook her head, trying to get rid of the absurd idea that popped up in her mind.

However, at the same time, a sense of indescribable sorrow and disappointment rushed through her

heart.

As she watched Samuel and Xavian interacting, she realized that no matter how much maternal love

she tried to give to her two children, she could never make up for the absence of their father‘s company

in their growth process.

The reason that both her children were trying intently to find themselves a stepfather was not only that

they hoped their mother could fall in love again, but also that they longed for love and companionship

from a fatherly figure.

With Samuel hanging around tonight, Xavian was more energetic than he usually was. He was talking

to Samuel all the time, smiling from ear to ear.

When it was nine o‘clock, Natalie turned toward Xavian. “It‘s late now. Time for you to sleep.”

“Yes, yes, Mommy. I know.” The little boy nodded obediently but winked at Samuel at the same time. “I

have to go to bed now. You should come to visit more often.”

“Okay.” Samuel agreed.

Natalie frowned when she saw Samuel promise Xavian.

After Xavian brushed his teeth and went to sleep, Natalie sat on the couch and turned to meet

Samuel‘s dark and impenetrable eyes.

She tucked her hair behind her ear and asked, “Now there are only the two of us here, so you can tell

the truth. Why do you come to my place tonight? What do you want from me?”

“I‘ve told you everything I need to. I only want to see you. That‘s all.” Samuel pulled lightly at his collar.

here. You should leave now.”

However, to her surprise, Samuel grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

Natalie did not see that coming. She was already sitting on Samuel‘s lap when she recovered from the

shock.

“What are you”

“You are still so young, yet so protective of yourself.” Samuel locked Natalie tightly in his arms as he

sighed beside her ear. “What happened to you in the past?”

His voice sounded gentle and pampering, but most of all, it was filled with love. He was aching for her.
