Chapter 485 Doubting Himself
Franklin and Sophia were his precious grandchildren!
Though Kenneth did not like how they disrespected Yara, he still wished to maintain a close relationship with Franklin and Sophia.
But somehow, they seemed to have drifted apart.
He did not know what he did wrong and had no clue why his great-grandchildren were mad at him.
He would have broken down and cried if Xavian and Clayton were not with him.
Xavian could tell Kenneth was trying to hold back his tears. “Are you okay? You can talk to us if you’re upset.”
Clayton too, nodded. “Yes! We can lend you an ear.”
Their sincerity touched Kenneth. He then told them how Franklin and Sophia refused to reconcile with their biological mother no matter how hard he tried.
He also told the boys how the great-grandchildren resented him for it. Nonetheless, he did not reveal their names to Xavian and Clayton.
At this point, these two boys still had no idea Yara was Franklin’s and Sophia’s so-called biological mother. Hence, they did not associate their stories with Kenneth’s.
After telling his story, Kenneth expected Xavian and Clayton to understand him and take his side.
But Xavian threw out a question that even Kenneth could not answer. “But why would you try to mend their relationship if she’s their biological mother?”
“I think being able to spend time with my mommy is the happiest, isn’t it?” Clayton also expressed his doubt. “How we wish our Mommy could split into a few figures so that we could spend more time with her! It’s so weird that your great-grandkids refused to get close with their mommy.”
Their remarks rendered Kenneth speechless.
It was natural for children to be dependent on their mothers. By right, no one was needed to help mend their relationship, let alone force them.
But Kenneth had tried every possible way to bring Franklin and Sophia closer to Yara but to no avail.
What have I done wrong?
“Grandpa, your great-grandchildren must be smart kids, right?” Clayton asked.
“Of course!” Kenneth responded with pride.
“They had only disrespected their mommy but not anyone else, right?” Xavian continued with another question.
Kenneth thought about it before answering, “Yes. They’re kids with good manners and know how to behave in public.”
“If there’s nothing with your great-grandchildren, could the problem lie with their mommy?” Clayton asked directly.
Kenneth initially wanted to answer no, but he could not find a way to justify his answer.
The questions two young boys asked got him thinking. Could it really be Yara’s problem?
But he brushed aside that thought as quickly as it came.
“Their mother is a kind person. She had even rescued me when I suffered a heart attack. I’m getting older by the day, but she’s the one who willingly accompanies me when all the other family members are busy with their work and careers,” he explained.
“She sounds like a nice lady.”
“Oh, yes!” Kenneth sighed. “That’s why I don’t understand why the kids refused to acknowledge her as their mother!”
“Calm down, Grandpa,” Xavian said. “My mommy once told us that every mother in this world loves and cares for their children, and children love and care for their mothers too. Could there be a misunderstanding? Anyway, I think they’ll be fine!”
Kenneth could not resist stroking the heads of these caring and sensible young boys.
“Hearing you mention your mommy all the time makes me want to meet her!” Kenneth let out a sigh. How did she train her kids to be so kind and obedient?
Suddenly, Xavian’s phone rang, and it was a call from Natalie.
“It’s Mommy!” Xavian lifted his head and grinned. “Our mommy might not have the time to meet you, but you can talk to her over the phone!”
