Chapter 633 Ingrate
“I didn’t burn anything.” A glint flashed across Kenneth’s eyes.
“I was just asking, Grandpa.” Yara chuckled, “If you have any documents you want to destroy, you can pass them to
me if you trust me. I’ll deal with them for you. It’s dangerous for you to handle fire. Leave this kind of work to me
next time.”
She had on a sweet, innocent smile as she gently chided him.
Kenneth wouldn’t have believed Yara would make up such a huge lie for the sake of marrying Samuel if he didn’t
see the DNA test result with his own eyes.
He pressed his lips into a thin line at that thought. The stark contrast between her sweet smile and the dark
intention beneath had his gaze darkened.
“Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No.” He shook his head. “I was thinking. It had been five years since you brought Franklin and Sophia to the
Bowers residence. You were the one who stayed by my side during the entirety of five years, instead of Samuel and
Steven.”
She met his gaze as she answered, “It is my duty. If it weren’t for the strong support you gave me all these years,
Samuel’s indifference would have crushed me.”
“You never think-”
Guessing what he would say, she cut him off. “I have never, Grandpa. I know you mean well, but my feelings for
Samuel won’t ever change. It has been five years since I fell in love with him. They are still the same now.
“Even if he doesn’t love me or marry me, I still won’t marry another man. I’d rather be a nun and pray for the kids
and Samuel for the rest of my life if anyone forces me to marry another man.”
Seeing the tears in her eyes, his advice was stuck in his throat. Despite having a lot to say, he couldn’t even get a
single word out.
“Why are you so infatuated with Samuel?”
“Grandpa, it was fate for me to have met Samuel, then fell in love with him. I can’t persuade myself to let that
feeling go.” She paused to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Samuel has always been indifferent
toward me. Please don’t chase me out of the house. Without you, I don’t know who I can depend on.”
He was biased toward Natalie, but how could his heart not soften when he had been under Yara’s care and
companionship for five years?
“I won’t chase you out of the house.” He sighed, “I will still treat you the same way if you still want to come over
and visit me often.”
He disapproved of Yara’s lie, but he was already old. He wanted to give her a chance to redeem herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Thank you, Grandpa.”
“There’s nothing to thank me for.”
“Have you taken your medicine?” She asked with a small smile. “I’ll bring it to you.”
The moment she spun on her heels toward the kitchen, her gentle smile was gone from her lips. There was only a
calculative gleam shining in her eyes.
This useless old man. I still need him for something after this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t need to put in so much effort to
act pitifully in front of him. I’m tired of having to put on an act after all these years. Come one day, I will make him
pay back all my mistreatment.
Natalie was teaching Sophia about herbology at the Bowers residence.
Sophia scrunched up her face, seeing all the similar-looking herbs and notes laid out all over the table.
“It’s so difficult, Mommy!” Sophia pouted.
“Let’s take a break then.” Patting Sophia’s head, she coaxed, “We’ll continue with the lesson after the break.”
“Okay.” Sophia nodded vehemently.
Sophia raced to Franklin’s side to have some of the fresh, juicy strawberries Gavin had brought out. Not interested
in strawberries, Xavian’s and Clayton’s gazes were fixed on the computer screen.
