Chapter 117

Steven jolted backward before quickly explaining, “Grandpa, Natalie is injured because she savedSophia. I‘m pretty sure it‘s okay for Sam to care for his daughter‘s savior.”

“I know she saved Sophia.” A deep frown shrouded Kenneth‘s face as he grimly added, “However, thereare doctors and nurses in the hospital. Why does Natalie insist on having the head of the Bowers familyto care for her? What if that woman takes advantage of Samuel‘s kindness and decides she wants himto marry her as compensation?”

Steven had only met Natalie a few times. However, he deeply trusted that she was not the kind ofscheming woman that Kenneth suggested.

Thus, he quickly tried to explain, “Grandpa, you‘ve misunderstood Natalie... She never asked Sam totake care of her. In fact, Sam was the one who insisted on staying there because he was worried sickabout her.”

Samuel had always been aloof and stubborn; No one could force him to do things that he did not wantto.

However, Kenneth was far too upset to remember that now.

His murderous tone boomed, “Steven! How dare you take Natalie‘s side?”

Yara told him earlier about Natalie being a sly woman. Therefore, he suspected that Natalie hadsomehow brainwashed Steven into backing her up.

Kenneth fully believed that Natalie was a horrible woman who would wreak havoc if she continued to getclose to the Bowers family.

“Grandpa–”

Before Steven could finish speaking, Kenneth snapped, “My God! Has that woman bewitched all of you?What a sly and scheming woman! She‘s a demon!”

Just then, a voice came out of nowhere. “Great–grandpa! Don‘t say that about Natalie!”

When Kenneth and Steven lifted their heads, they saw Franklin and Sophia walking

—

down the stairs.

Franklin was livid as he exclaimed, “Great–grandpa, don‘t you know how kind Natalie – is? How can youinsult her like that? Don‘t you know she‘s the most important woman

in my entire life, apart from Sophia?”

Even his little sister, Sophia‘s, face flushed with rage at Kenneth. She mustered all her strength and spat,“Y–You... No...”

It seemed like she had a lot to say but didn‘t know how to express herself. In the end, she only managedto utter, “I–I... hate you..”

Kenneth cared about Sophia and Franklin more than he did for Steven.

NO

Hence, it broke his heart to see both his great–grandchildren so upset and disappointed in him.

Kenneth muttered, “Sophia, Franklin...

However, Franklin‘s frown only deepened. “Great–grandpa, I won‘t be joining you for breakfast anymore!I‘ve lost my appetite!”

Sophia bit back her tears and chimed in, “M–Me... too!”

The two children then spun on their heels and left without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Steven wasn’t bothered by the fight between the kids and his grandpa. He continued to eathis breakfast in an amused mood.

Pfft! Those two little ones sure do love Natalie. She means the world to them. Forget the kids ditchingGrandpa for Natalie. I won‘t be surprised if they choose Natalie over their own father. Poor Sam.

“Is eating the only thing you‘re good at?” Kenneth threw a chestnut on Steven‘s head. “You‘re such anidiot! How can you still be this relaxed when Sophia and Franklin are

upset?”

“Grandpa, this is their usual way of doing things.”

“Usual? Their overprotectiveness for Natalie is normal?” Kenneth‘s eyes widened in shock as hequestioned, “Tell me… what do Franklin and Sophia think about Yara?”
