Chapter 614 Humiliating News
Even though Clayton and Xavian didn’t say a word, they gave Franklin and Sophia inquisitive looks.
Tightening his fist, Franklin scoffed, “Don’t pretend to be close to us. We have nothing to do with you. If you want us to speak properly to you, fine. In that case, we want to let you know we don’t want to see you at all. You can leave now. Bye-bye!”
“Franklin!”
Yara had assumed that she had lowered herself enough. Unfortunately, Franklin still didn’t show her any respect at all.
Unlike in the past, she refrained from admonishing Franklin and Sophia due to them being Bowers.
Instead, she sobbed, “How can a five-year-old child like you speak to your mother that way? Over the last five years, I have always treated you and Sophia well. And yet, you continue to hurt me time and again. What do you actually want me to do before you’re willing to be nice to me?”
Despite watching the tears rolling down her cheeks, none of the children wavered.
“Why are you, an adult, crying in front of us children?” Knitting her brows, Sophia scolded. “I’m not crying, so why are you? If you don’t like the sight of us, there’s no need to cry. After all, we don’t like the sight of you either. Franklin is right. Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t see each other?”
Meanwhile, the most important point of the exchange wasn’t lost on Clayton and Xavian.
“Both of you and her… She’s your mommy?” Xavian mumbled.
Yara nodded with tears in her eyes. “That’s right!”
However, Franklin and Sophia shook their heads vehemently. “No!”
At that moment, Kenneth came out of his room and saw what was going on between Yara and the children.
In contrast to the happy scenes when Natalie was with the children, what was going on between Yara and them was nothing but a ruckus.
“What’s going on?” Kenneth asked with a frown. “Yara, why are you crying?”
“I… Grandpa, don’t blame the children. I have failed as a mother given how much Franklin and Sophia resent me.” With reddened eyes, Yara tried her best to look pitiful.
Ever since she guessed Natalie’s identity, she was constantly fearful of Kenneth finding out the truth about Franklin and Sophia. However, when she didn’t get a response after testing Kenneth, she continued her charade because there was no need for her to reveal her own secret yet.
“Why…”
Letting out a sigh, Kenneth felt troubled by it.
All this while, he had assumed the situation was caused by the children not being sensible. But now, it became obvious to him that Yara was terrible at raising them.
Other than flattery, scolding, or throwing her authority as a mother around, Yara didn’t seem to know any other methods.
He couldn’t even stand her, let alone the children.
Just when he was having a good time with the children which was a rare opportunity, Yara had to drop by to spoil it.
“It’s not good to be crying in front of the children,” Kenneth commented with a grim voice. “Yara, go wash your face and join us for dinner.”
Yara naturally did as she was told.
After she left the dining hall, Clayton asked impatiently, “Great-grandpa, that woman claims that she’s Franklin and Sophia’s mother. Did both of them really come out from her tummy?”
Suddenly, Franklin and Sophia’s expressions drastically changed. Even though Kenneth saw them shaking their heads at him, he didn’t plan to hide the truth.
“That’s true. She is their mother. Five years ago, she gave birth to them at the same time your mother gave birth to you.”
Just as she spoke, Sophia and Franklin broke down.
Oh no! Now that this disgraceful piece of news has been revealed to Clayton and Xavian, Natalie would naturally find out soon!
