A Cue for Love Chapter 2
Encountering A Cutie At The Airport
Five years later, a little boy clad in blue overalls and a plaid shirt was attracting a lot of attention at the main terminal of Dellmoor International Airport.
His wavy hair, exquisite features, and long lashes curled upward like a doll gave everyone the impression that he would be the dream guy of many girls when he grew up.
Just as everyone was curious about his mother’s beauty, a woman with a flat nose, thick lips, and freckles dotted all over her face shouted out to him, “Have you bought the Coke, Sweetheart?”
“Yes, I have, Mommy.”
Hearing this, all the ladies among the crowd dropped their jaws in disbelief. Is it possible for a handsome young boy to have such an unattractive woman as his mother?
Ever since his mother started wearing that hideous hyper-realistic mask, such scenes would happen all the time, so Xavian Nichols was already used to it.
He walked over to Natalie and handed her the fizzy drink before drinking some water obediently.
“Mommy, how long are you planning to wear such an ugly thing?”
“Are you saying that I’m ugly, Sweetheart?”
“Of course not, Mommy. I’m just worried that you’ll feel stuffy wearing it for such a long time.”
I don’t have the right to comment on Mommy’s appearance!
Xavian was the least attractive when compared to his older brother, Clayton, and Natalie.
Hence, he felt that he did not have the right, nor the courage, to comment on her ethereal beauty.

Snapping out of his trance, he inquired, “What did you do to Sophia?”
“You must be her father. Where did you get the nerve to question me?” Still thinking that the girl was feeling insecure, she could not help but remark, “Why aren’t you cherishing such a sweet girl? She must’ve had a hard life for her to address me as her mother.”
Steven was once again dumbfounded. “She addressed you as her mother?”
Natalie rolled her eyes. “Who else would she address that to? You?”
Steven was rendered speechless by her remark.
It took several confirmations for him to finally dispel his disbelief.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Sophia’s uncle, Steven Bowers. I was so surprised just now because she has suffered from aphasia since childhood and has never spoken to anyone.”
As soon as Natalie heard that, she felt terrible for the girl.
“Can he be trusted, Sophia?”
The little girl nodded.
“Is it true that you have aphasia, Sophia?”
She received another nod in response.
“Since he was looking for you, you should go home with him,” Natalie said as she caressed the little girl’s head.
Without making a fuss, Sophia watched as Natalie walked away with Xavian.
Just as Steven was about to ask the little girl how she was suddenly able to speak, he subconsciously glanced at her and was surprised by what he saw.
Sophia’s eyes were filled with tears as she sobbed silently.
