Chapter 346 Protected By Two Cuties
Oh? Seems like Silas mistook me for Yara.
Natalie bit her lip, trying to think of a suitable response.
Before she could, however, Samuel spoke first. He tightened his grip around Natalie’s hand and announced, “Uncle Silas, this is Natalie. She’s the woman I am going to spend the rest of my life with.”
Samuel did not introduce her as his girlfriend, but his introduction showed that she was way more important to him than that.
Although Silas did not become the head of the Bowers family, he grew up in the family. Therefore, he was a master at hiding his emotions.
The shock he expressed did not last for more than two seconds, and he quickly regained his composure to that of a gentleman.
“Natalie…” Silas paused. “You have a nice name.”
“Thank you, Mr. Bowers,” Natalie politely replied.
“Don’t call me Mr. Bowers. There’s going to be a lot of people here that’ll turn their heads if you call out that name.” Looking at Natalie, he cheekily suggested, “Why don’t you follow Samuel and call me Uncle Silas too?”
Natalie was hesitant. “I—”
“There’s no need to feel awkward. Uncle Silas will be your uncle in time to come anyway,” Samuel assured her with a smile that reached his eyes.
Meeting his gaze, Natalie felt her heart race.
“Uncle Silas,” Natalie politely greeted.
“Good.” Smiling, Silas pushed up his frames and commented, “I believe your parents will be happy to see you find love. Don’t forget to invite me to your wedding in the future, okay?”
At that moment, an old man interrupted, “Silas, shut up! Why are you spouting such nonsense?”
Supported by his walking stick, Kenneth made his way toward them.
He was dressed in a crimson red traditional suit and had a full head of white hair. Despite his age, he seemed alert, and his eyes were still sharp.
A lady dressed in a white dress stood beside him. It was Yara.
She looked elegant and graceful. She bowed her head politely, emitting an aura that made her well-liked by elders.
As soon as Yara spotted Samuel, she could not turn to look away.
There were many handsome men present at the banquet. However, none of them could surpass Samuel’s exquisite features.
In fact, some may even wonder if he was God’s favourite to be born so perfect.
Not only was he born into a good family, but he was also capable.
Naturally, Yara also saw Natalie.
Although she felt jealous, she did not lose her composure before everyone else. Instead, she kept the smile on her face.
No worries. I’ll make this woman lose everything by the end of today.
“Dad,” Silas politely greeted Kenneth.
However, Kenneth did not pay any attention to Silas. He perched his hands on his walking stick and stared at Natalie.
“Hmph! How dare you come here?”
His disgust toward Natalie was laid bare for all to see, and his tone was hostile.
“Great-grandpa, you can’t say that to her!” Sophia tugged on Kenneth’s sleeves and whined, “Don’t talk bad things about her. Otherwise, I will never speak to you again!”
“Great-grandpa, I have something to say too.” Mustering his courage, Franklin stated, “If you forbid her from attending the banquet, I will leave with her.”
One could sense the generation gap between Kenneth and the twins.
If Samuel had been the one to talk back to Kenneth, the latter would not hesitate to reprimand the former. However, the two adorable children before him were the apple of Kenneth’s eye.
As such, he did not know how to react upon seeing how defiant they were.
At the same time, Yara’s face turned pale when she saw how the twins treated Natalie.
“Franklin, Sophia, don’t you know your manners? How can you speak to your great-grandpa like that?”
The children despise Yara and did not want Natalie to know that the woman was their birth mother. They did not even care if they had to retort her.
“Stop trying to act like our mother and discipline Sophia and me,” Franklin pointed out unhappily.
“Exactly! Franklin and I will never acknowledge you!”
