Chapter 643 Disheveled Appearance
“What?” Xavian could not believe his ears. His legs felt weak as he collapsed beside Clayton. “How could it be? I haven’t even met him! I want to ask him why he did not find us all these years? We had been trying to track him down!”
“Xavian…”
“Clayton, please tell me more about him. Did he mention anything about us before he died?”
“He said… He is not our birth father…” Clayton recollected himself and said.
“What? What did you say?”
“Mr. Landis told me before he died that he was not our birth father! Mom has misunderstood! Our father is someone else!”
“So it was just like what we predicted!” Xavian murmured in disbelief.
“Xavian, Mr. Landis was drugged before the warehouse exploded. I bet the killer is not far from here. Maybe we should find somewhere safe.” Clayton stood up and led Xavian away from the scene.
Meanwhile, at Bowers manor.
Sophia and Franklin were watching a movie with Kenneth.
Kenneth looked at the two cute faces beside him. They made him think of Clayton and Xavian.
After finding out Clayton and Xavian were his great-grandsons, his affection toward them grew.
He used to think they got close because of fate. Now he realized it was because they were related by blood.
Franklin and Sophia had been with him for five years. Hence, he was able to witness their growth. Yet, he missed out on the chance to participate in Clayton and Franklin’s childhoods.
After he knew about their identities, he felt the desire to compensate them.
“Where are Clayton and Xavian? Why did only the two of you come to accompany me?” Kenneth narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Are the two of us not enough?” Sophia smiled as she passed a strawberry toward Kenneth’s mouth. “Great-grandpa, you are so greedy! You are not satisfied with Franklin and me by your side. You still want Clayton and Xavian!”
Kenneth lowered his head and ate the strawberry. “I like Clayton and Xavian very much. After all, our family is very wealthy. We can afford to raise two more kids. It won’t be a burden at all.”
Franklin pursed his lips. “Great-grandpa, you will forget about us once you’ve got them!”
“Come on, that won’t ever happen. Anyway, the four of you are supposed to be together. Please bring them along the next time you come over here.”
“Okay, okay!” Franklin nodded. “It’s only today. We will bring them in the future.”
After Clayton and Xavian meet their birth father and talk about what’s necessary, we will get back together.
As such, they watched the movie until nine forty-five. It was only fifteen minutes to the meeting time.
Sophia and Franklin started chatting in a meek voice.
“Franklin, why haven’t Clayton and Xavian reached here?” Sophia’s gaze filled with anxiousness. “Do you think they are still talking happily to their birth father and do not want to come back here?”
“That’s unlikely. Please don’t overthink! Since they’ve promised to meet at ten, they will be here. If they don’t, it means they are caught in the middle of something.”
“Okay.”
Nearing ten o’clock.
The car that came to fetch Sophia and Franklin had arrived at the entrance of Bowers manor.
“Why aren’t they here yet?” Sophia began to panic.
Even Franklin started to lose his patience. What is going on? What if they got into danger? Have I overestimated their ability? If anything happens to them, how will I explain it to Natalie?
“I…”
When Franklin was thinking of reporting to Samuel, two figures emerged from the bushes in a disheveled appearance.
