Chapter 372 Skin Him Alive
The four little ones exchanged glances with each other.
Knowing very well that Samuel would not be easily fooled, the kids had no choice but to reply in unison, “Uncle Steven brought us here… We threatened him to do that.”
Samuel turned away and looked toward the corridor. “Where is he?” he asked in a spooky voice.
Franklin took a deep breath and replied, “Uncle Steven knew that you would definitely skin him alive, so he left immediately after dropping us off at the entrance of the hot spring resort.”
“Let’s see where he can run to then.” Samuel’s gaze darkened and a grim expression took over his handsome face.
It took the man a lot of effort to plan his special day, and he was looking forward to spending time with Natalie only.
However, because of Steven, the couple’s quality time together had become a family gathering instead.
Samuel could not help but feel extremely disappointed that his plans were ruined, and a deep crease appeared between his brows.
Shortly after, the resort owner took the four little ones away to change into children’s bathrobes.
Natalie shot a glance at Samuel, who was pulling a long face and couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re so childish!”
“I’m only childish when it comes to matters relating to you anyway,” Samuel replied in a low voice. “Laugh all you like. This is who I am.”
Natalie froze for a second when she heard that before her smile grew broader.
Seems like men can also be really childish!
But he’s really cute when he acts this way.
Natalie stood on her tiptoes and pinched both sides of Samuel’s cheeks. “I know you’re upset but try to control yourself and not scare the kids. They always go to bed before 10 p.m. After that, you still have time to unwrap your present.”
That was a code phrase between the couple.
Instantly, Samuel understood what the woman meant and held her hands tightly.
“Nat, you’re the one who said that I can ‘unwrap my present’ later. You can’t take that back now.”
“Yes, yes,” Natalie replied very softly.
When the children returned after changing, they were relieved seeing that Samuel’s expression was back to normal.
Jolene was the owner of the hot spring resort. Even though she was already over forty, she did not look like it as she maintained her looks very well. She usually did not receive guests personally but only did so for Samuel.
After bringing a few exquisite dishes into the family’s private room, she left.
Among the dishes was a six-inch heart-shaped cake that Samuel had specially instructed the resort to prepare.
The four little ones took their forks and dug into the cake at once, making lots of holes in the pretty cake.
When Franklin noticed that his father had not taken a single bite of it, he took some cake with his fork and put it next to the man’s mouth.
“Daddy, you’re the birthday boy today. You need to eat some cake…” Franklin said seriously with his mouth stuffed with cake. “Anyway, since you are so rich, you should order a bigger cake next time. This one is too small for all of us to share. If you don’t have enough money, I can lend you some from my savings.”
“I’m not hungry,” Samuel replied with an obstinate expression.
“If that’s the case, I’ll have your share then.”
Franklin put the fork into his own mouth, finishing the cake.
Samuel was speechless while Natalie was laughing so hard that she had tears in her eyes.
Samuel was wearing a black bathrobe and had his fringe down, covering his eyes. His skin was so smooth that there were hardly any open pores. At that moment, he did not look like a high and mighty CEO but more like an awkward kid who did not get to eat his favorite candy.
In fact, he blended in very well with the four five-year-old little ones.
Just as Natalie was still happily giggling away, Samuel cast her a warning stare.
Catching his gaze, the woman covered her mouth with her hand to suppress her laughter, but she just couldn’t get rid of the smile on her face.
After the kids had their fill of food and drinks, they took out their birthday present for Samuel from their bag.
It was a piece of drawing.
Franklin unveiled the drawing and said, “Daddy, Sophia, Xavian, Clayton and I drew this together. It’s the four of us, you and Mommy.”
