A Cue for Love Chapter 26
Worried About The Bully
“Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia have already eaten…” Gavin’s voice was racked with worry as he had acted on his own accord to invite Natalie over.
“Where are they?”
Unable to lie, Gavin answered, “In the dining room. They have just finished eating.”
The man’s footsteps got closer.
As Samuel walked into the dining room, his gaze fell upon Natalie.
Samuel was wearing an all-black outfit. It was quite common for men to dress like that in the corporate world, but he looked like he just walked out of an international fashion magazine.
His sleeves were rolled up, showing off his muscled forearm.
“Why is she here?” Samuel questioned Gavin, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.
Gavin lowered his head with guilt as his face turned green. No matter how long he had served the Bowers, he was still just an employee after all.

After hearing the promise from Samuel, the children left the dining room reluctantly and went back to their room.
At that moment, Samuel and Natalie were the only people left in the dining room.
“Why did you lie for Gavin?”
“You knew, but you didn’t say anything,” Natalie retorted. “Gavin did it for the children, so don’t be too hard on him. Even if he’s willing to be punished, your staff would be dejected to see that happen.”
“Aren’t you good at reading people.”
“Same as you.”
Samuel placed his hand under his chin and asked, “So you came because Gavin asked you to?”
At the mention of that, Natalie could not help but feel angry.
“Children aren’t the same as adults. We can skip a meal or two, but they can’t.”
As she recalled what had happened at the cafe the other day, she felt her chest tighten.
She blurted, “Besides, Sophia and Franklin are your children. Can you spend more time with them? It’s one thing to be busy with work, but isn’t it too much to be entangled with a woman on top of that?”
Samuel looked at Natalie meaningfully and asked, “Woman?”
