Chapter 28 Suspecting Her Real Identity
Natalie was stunned to see the man looking at her.
“How long have you been here?”
Samuel’s lips curled up, and he replied in a deep voice, “Since you started the story about the three little pigs.”
Feeling like a prey under his gaze, Natalie turned her face away.
He’s been here since I started telling the story. That means it’s been at least half an hour. Is he really that worried about me hanging out with Franklin and Sophia?
“Mr. Bowers, I came to accompany Franklin and Sophia only because I like them.” Natalie glanced at him calmly, a mist of tears still visible in her clear eyes. “Since you asked me to help treat Sophia’s aphasia before, you don’t need to keep an eye on me. This is your home. I wouldn’t be so dumb as to do something bad here.”
Natalie’s eyes were already red, but she continued to wipe away her tears heavily with the back of her hand.

It’s not there.
The bite mark he had anticipated was not there.
Could it be that I have the wrong person?
A trace of confusion flashed in Samuel’s eyes. He gradually loosened his grip on Natalie’s waist before turning to leave.
Looking at his back, Natalie heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
Samuel is indeed fit to be the head of the Bowers family. He’s savvier than I thought. Is he beginning to suspect me even when I’m wearing a hyper-realistic mask?
Fortunately, she had used the anti-inflammatory medicine she made. Otherwise, he would have seen the bite mark he had left and taken off her mask.
After checking on the children one last time, Natalie got ready to leave the Bowers residence.
As she was on her way downstairs, she heard the sound of pouring rain outside the house. The rain hit the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking like a curtain of water.
