Chapter 570 No Evidence
“Do you have any idea who the mastermind is?”
Samuel fell deep in thought after hearing his grandpa’s question.
Even though Natalie did not tell him everything about what happened last time, just judging by the fact that Yara had pretended to be Franklin and Sophia’s biological mother back then, it was obvious that Yara had exceptionally good acting skills and was extremely ambitious.
Over the past five years, although he and the kids behaved coldly toward Yara, it was undeniable that the woman had treated Kenneth well and cared a lot for him.
Both Samuel and Kenneth were aware of that and were grateful.
Yara seemed to be completely uninvolved in the kidnapping incident as Melissa was the only one who was seen.
As Samuel did not have any concrete evidence that could prove Yara’s involvement in the matter, he did not find it necessary to mention it.
Besides, even if he did, it was not possible for Kenneth to believe him.
After much thought, Samuel decided to keep his speculation to himself. “Grandpa, I have no clue yet.”
“Thank goodness Sophia is fine.” Kenneth put a hand to his chest to calm himself down before saying, “Whenever I think about the ordeal my darling Sophia had gone through, my heart would start pounding wildly, and I wish I could have taken her place instead. She still has such a long journey ahead of her. Nothing can happen to her!”
“When I reached, Nat was hugging Sophia tightly.”
“Really?” Kenneth asked doubtfully.
“I won’t lie about such things just to get you to like her. I’m not that lame.” With a grave expression, Samuel continued, “The situation was extremely critical that day. If I had arrived just slightly later… I really cannot imagine what would have happened.”
Kenneth nodded.
The three men continued chatting for a while before Steven helped Kenneth to the car, getting ready to head back home.
Before they left, Kenneth said to Samuel seriously, “Natalie had saved Sophia and is our family’s benefactor. I won’t be visiting often so that I won’t disrupt her rest. While you recover, make sure you take care of her as well.”
Even though the old man had a stern expression on his face while he spoke, it was obvious that his tone had softened a lot compared to the way he spoke about Natalie previously.
“Don’t worry, I will take good care of her.”
“All right.”
Steven drove Kenneth back after that.
On the way home, Steven could not stop wondering why his grandpa had a sudden change in attitude and asked, “Grandpa, I thought you hated Natalie and wanted Yara to marry Sam. Did anything change?”
Kenneth, who was resting with his eyes shut, gradually opened his eyes when he heard that.
“If you have to choose, between Yara and Natalie, who would you want as your sister-in-law?”
After pondering over it for a while, Steven replied, “Grandpa, even if Yara is the biological mother of Franklin and Sophia, I would still choose Natalie to be my sister-in-law.”
“And what’s the reason for that?”
“When Sophia used to have aphasia, no matter how many local or overseas specialists Sam hired to treat her, the girl’s condition did not show any improvement. You should know that very well too. However, Sophia seemed to have miraculously recovered after meeting Natalie.”
“It’s the same for Franklin. He used to be such a difficult kid. Other than Sam, he did not listen to anyone else, and even I was scared of him. Although he’s still quite cocky now, his temper has improved so much. He is more mature now and has also become a much better brother to Sophia. More importantly…”
Steven paused for a second and raised his brows before continuing, “Sam is also a changed man. Last time, he was just like a robot without feelings who only knew how to work. Now, even though he still treats outsiders the same way, he has become more cheerful in front of family and people he trusts.”
“Grandpa?” Seeing that Kenneth did not give any response after he said so much, Steven started to think that he might have said something wrong.
“Just concentrate on driving. I’m tired.”
Kenneth closed his eyes after saying that, pretending to sleep.
But the truth was that Kenneth’s heart was in a mess and did not know what to reply his grandson.
In the past, there was absolutely no doubt that between Yara and Sophia, Kenneth was on Yara’s side. However, something had shifted within the man.
He could feel himself slowly moving toward Natalie’s side.
