Chapter 146 Face Flushed
Natalie woke up from a hangover.
Upon waking up, she felt dizzy and thirsty.
“Sweetheart, can you pour me a glass of water?” she asked with her eyes closed.
Before long, a bottle of water was passed to her.
As she had not had a sip of water for the whole night, Natalie finished the whole bottle of water quickly.
Still lying on the bed, she said sullenly, “Sweetheart, thank you for taking care of me. I should not have drunk so much alcohol. My actions are worse than a five-year-old child…”
“I’m glad that you’re aware of that.” A cold voice rang all of a sudden.
Hearing that, Natalie, who felt groggy, became clear-headed immediately.
Isn’t this my house? Why did I hear Samuel’s voice?
“Samuel, why are you in my house?” Natalie stared at him anxiously. “How did you enter here? M-My dress…”
Quickly, she lifted her blanket. Only now did she realize that someone had helped her change into her pajamas. Besides, that person also helped her change her underwear and sanitary pad.
Shocked, she gritted her teeth and asked, “Did you help me change?”
“Who else?” Samuel replied. With a cold stare and the corner of his lips raised, he continued, “Did you expect Xavian to help you with all these?”
“You-”
“I know that he is your son, but I think it is better if I help you do it. Do you agree with me?” he asked back.
When she heard the question, her face turned red. She could not argue with what he had just said.
Even though I feel shameful because he helped me with my clothes, it would be even worse if Xavian were the one who helped me.
After understanding the whole situation, she uttered, “Thank you for helping me last night.”
“You want to thank me, huh?” Samuel eyed her with a smirk on his face. “Tell me. How do you want to repay the debt of gratitude?”
She gaped. Not surprised at her reaction, he continued, “If you can’t think of a way to thank me now, you can compensate me in the future. I’ll record everything you’ve owed me.”
While he was talking to her, she could not help but feel that they would continue to be in each other’s lives indefinitely.
However, a voice in her head kept reminding her that she should cut ties with him. If she failed to do so, she would not be able to leave him anymore.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, they heard someone knocking at the door. At the same time, Xavian’s voice could be heard. “Mommy, are you awake? I’ve prepared your favorite dish for your breakfast!”
“Excuse me,” said Natalie as she sat up on the bed. Joyfully, she turned to Samuel. “I have to wash up now. My son has prepared breakfast for me.”
Right after she finished her sentence, Xavian’s voice rang again. “Mr. Bowers, please stay and join us for breakfast too! I have prepared yours as well!”
“All right,” replied Samuel.
“Mr. Bowers, I will wait for you.”
Natalie was dumbfounded.
Although my sons look cute, they have strong personalities. They seldom treat people that nice. I can’t believe Xavian is treating Samuel so pleasantly.
After they freshened up, Samuel and Natalie sat at the table in the dining room.
Minutes later, Xavian placed their breakfast in front of them. Then, he set the cutleries on the table.
When they started eating, Xavian cupped his face in his hands while he happily stared at both of them.
They look like a match made in heaven! If Clayton is here with us for breakfast, everything will be perfect.
As Natalie noticed that Xavian was staring at her face, she became anxious. Did something go wrong with my hyper-realistic mask? Why is Xavian looking at me like that?
With that thought rising in her mind, she immediately put down her fork and rushed toward the bathroom.
