Chapter 109 Arranged Marriage

Shock surged through Natalie as she quickly dodged him. “What are you doing? I’m already injured, and you’re-”

Samuel pulled her closer into his embrace. “I’m tired too. Let’s stay like this for a while…”

Perhaps Natalie had bled so much, or maybe it was Samuel’s warm embrace, but she fell asleep right after shutting her eyes.

In her dreams, she recalled the night from five years ago. She saw the scene of herself trying hard to escape from the sea of flames. Yara was also there to snatch away one of her sons and a daughter.

The nightmare caused her to unknowingly tighten her arms around Samuel’s waist and mutter, “N-No! My babies, please don’t take them away from me…”

Her heart ached as she was unable to break free from her nightmare.

Samuel lowered his head and gazed at the squirming woman in his arms while gently stroking her back. “Don’t worry. I’m here.”

Back at Bowers manor, Kenneth Bowers watched endearingly as his great-grandson enjoyed some ice cream.

Kenneth was both Samuel and Steven’s grandfather.

He initially assumed that Samuel was not interested in women and believed that Steven would be the first of his grandsons to birth some great-grandchildren for him. Much to his surprise, Samuel was the first to give him two great-grandchildren—Franklin and Sophia.

Kenneth utterly adored Franklin and Sophia, especially the former. It would be an understatement to say that Franklin was Kenneth’s prized possession.

“Slow down, Dear, or you’ll choke on your food…” Kenneth smiled so lovingly that almost all his wrinkles stretched out. He assured, “There are still some left, so you don’t have to hurry it all down at once. You can eat to your heart’s content.”

To that, Franklin nodded. “You’re the best, Great-grandpa!”

“That’s for sure!”

Kenneth’s heart softened with glee at the title “great-grandpa.” He gleefully thought to himself, Gosh, I hope Franklin will bring his sister, Sophia, along with him when he visits me next time.

The thought of having a pair of great-grandchildren by his side made him delighted.

Just as Franklin was cheerily licking his ice cream, he received a text from his sister.

The text said: Franklin! Natalie got hurt earlier when she was trying to protect me from some evil men!!

What! My woman is injured?

Franklin’s heart sank at once. He immediately put down his spoon and spoke nervously. “Great- grandpa, I’m afraid I can’t eat the ice cream anymore. Something urgent came up, and I need to go home right away…”

That shocked Kenneth, who immediately asked, “What? What could be so urgent? Didn’t you promise that you’d practice playing the piano here for a month this time?”

“Great-grandpa, my Natalie got hurt!”

Curious, Kenneth asked, “Natalie? Is that the name of your pet cat or dog? Shall I get someone to fetch it over here?”

“Nope! She’s my woman. I’m going to marry her when I grow up!” Franklin spoke with a determined expression. He was evidently not joking. “She’s hurt, so I have to see her right now! Great-grandpa, please get someone to send me home.”

When Kenneth heard how important this “Natalie” was to his great-grandson, he immediately instructed his staff to send Franklin back to the Bowers residence. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Of course, he, too, went along with Franklin as he wanted to see who exactly was “Natalie.”

Since this little girl has won over the heart of my great-grandson, I can help set up an arranged marriage between them.

As soon as they reached the Bowers residence, Franklin noticed Sophia, who had cried so much that her eyes became swollen.

Steven sat next to Sophia and comforted her, “Natalie is currently recovering in the hospital. She’s not dead. Plus, your daddy is currently with her, and he says I can take you to visit her when she’s all better. Please stop crying! I swear I’m not lying to you!”

Upon seeing Franklin’s return, Sophia immediately rushed into his embrace while conveying her message between sobs. “S-Sam. She… injured… a lot… blood…”

Her tears continuously poured as she mumbled.

Steven’s heart ached for her. Likewise, Kenneth also felt a pang in his chest at the sight of his crying great-grandchild.

This “Natalie” person… Who exactly is she? Even my great-granddaughter is crying hysterically.

Seeing how the two children were too emotional to utter a single word, Kenneth glanced at Steven and said, “Steven, get over here. I have something to ask you.”
