The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 284

Ouch!

Franklin massaged his forehead.

For the past five years of his life, he had only been spanked once by Samuel. No one else had ever touched him.

Franklin pouted. He did not yell out in pain but stared at Natalie in a daze instead.

His classmates had always complained that it hurt to be spanked by their mothers. However, he had never experienced that ever since he was born.

The woman who claimed to be their biological mother would only try to appease them for her ulterior motives. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Although it was his first time being punished by an outsider, Franklin did not dislike it at all.

The pain on his forehead reminded him that he had a mother, just like Xavian and Clayton.

Franklin could not suppress the grin that was forming on his lips.

After teaching the three boys a lesson, Natalie wanted to explain the reason to them. However, Sophia walked toward her cutely

She lifted her fringe and pleaded to Natalie adorably, “I want to be like them.”

“Huh?”

“I want my forehead to be flicked like them...”

Using the cutest voice possible, Sophia asked for Natalie to flick her too. After listening to the little girl‘s request, Natalie could not help but burst out laughing.

The reason why Sophia wanted that was similar to Franklin‘s.

Although their father treated them nicely, they secretly yearned for a mother.

When Sophia saw how the other boys had been reprimanded and punished by Natalie, she wanted the same too. It made her feel like she had a mother, which was

Sophia panicker when she saw Natalie and not do anything

She let out a mile sol

looking at her adorable face, Natalie could not bear tollick her forehead.

Natalie then cuppeal Sophia‘s face in die palms.

“Girls are ditlerent from boys. You‘re supposed to be nurtured with love, Sophia”

Sophia let go of her fringe astears wolled up in her big sparkly eyes,

“Mommy...”

Natalie‘s heart skipped a beat.

She felt like a needle lid just pierced into her heart

II was Sophia‘s first time calling her that alter they met at the airport,

She was not Sophia‘s mother, so she should not let Sophia call her “Mommy” Ilowever, when she heard the little girl calling out to her, she could not resise it at all,

Perhaps...lir spending time with this pair of ruins, I‘ve treated them like my own babies unknowingly

When the four children saw that Natalie was about to leave, they were overwhelmed with disappointment

Samuel stood there with a hand shoved in his pocker llix brooding waze pierced through Natalie as if he wanted to look into the depils of her soul,

“Are you able to ignore their feelings as long as you can hide from me!”

“Well have to say farewell at some point. Natalie avoided meeting Samuel‘s gaze. *Don‘t worry. I‘ll make it up to Franklin and Sophia in other ways.”

Natalie grabbed her suitcase and was about to leave with Xavian and Clayton when it started raining outside.

Without any warning, the rain poured down from the sky like a heavy thunderstorm.

The rain splashed onto the windows heavily, flowing down the panes like a waterfall.

Natalie frowned as she stared at the sudden downpour.

“The rain is so heavy.... Samuel walked to her and snatched the suitcase from her hand. “It looks like even God is helping me to make you stay.”
