A Cue for Love Chapter 3
Calling Mommy
Steven took Sophia home.
Ever since they had parted with the unfamiliar woman, the little girl had been sulking.
She was obviously in a bad mood as she even rejected her favorite ice cream, running back to her room with reddened eyes as soon as they reached the house.
Seeing her pitiful expression, Steven had a feeling that his brother was going to beat him to a pulp.
He quietly turned around and looked at the man sitting on the couch.
Samuel was wearing a black shirt and straight-fit pants. His attire perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.
Despite his chiseled facial features, the frosty look he gave his brother was chilling to the core.
“Tell me. What did you do to Sophia?”
“For heaven’s sake, Sam. I wouldn’t dare to do anything to her! I’ll praise the heavens for her to spare me instead!”
Even though Steven was the second son of the Bowers family, he felt as if he had been demoted to a nanny ever since Samuel returned with Franklin and Sophia five years ago. As long as one of them got into trouble, he would be the one taking all the blame in the end, no matter whatever reason was behind it.
However, Steven thought it wise to get straight to the point before shouldering the blame.

His sister beamed as she nodded.
“Are you drawing the woman Daddy told us about?” Despite his question, he was still skeptical as she did not look anything like their mother.
Although the twins disliked Yara, they could not deny that she had a pretty face without any blemishes.
Sophia’s smile vanished at the mention of Yara. She shook her head frantically in response.
How could Yara ever compare to the mommy in my drawing?
“If it isn’t her, who else can it be?” queried Franklin.
Sophia longed to tell her brother of her feelings when she met Mommy but found that she could not utter a word.
Robbed once again of her ability to communicate, she felt slightly discouraged.
Nevertheless, she still rolled up the drawing and held it to her chest, treating it like her most prized possession.
Franklin was extremely curious about his sister’s infatuation with the freckled-faced woman. What kind of special charm does this woman have to make Sophia so obsessed with her?
At the same time, Natalie let out a loud sneeze as soon as she tore off the hyper-realistic mask on her face.
“Someone must be thinking of me again.”
At that moment, Xavian, who was scripting codes in front of the computer, glanced at the contents of a mail as he said, “Someone is definitely looking for you, Mommy. He is offering to pay you one hundred million to help him!”
