Chapter 658 Poor Thing
“Mommy, even though Mr. Landis wasn’t Xavien’s and my father, he saved me in the end.” Determination
shone in Clayton’s eyes. “I’m not strong enough to find the perpetrator. So Mommy, can I ask for a favor
to help avenge Mr. Landis?”
Natalie had always taught Clayton and Xavian to be grateful and repay those who had helped them.
As such, she wasn’t the least bit surprised when she heard Clayton’s request.
“I’ll help you,” Natalie agreed with a firm nod.
Clayton’s lips tilted into a smile as he thanked Natalie.
“Thank you, Mommy.”
Franklin, Sophia, and Xavian released a relieved sigh when they saw Clayton leaving the study with a
smile.

kids’ were united during hardships.
After having dinner together, she spent some time with them.
Even though they were each doing their own stuff, they were comfortable with each other’s presence.
The kids began to tire out from reading, so they obediently lined up to the bathroom to wash up before
getting into bed.
Natalie tucked each of them into their beds and gave each of their heads a gentle peck before turning on
the night lamp and leaving the room.
When she got back to her room, she saw Samuel had already washed up and was sitting on the bed in
his black robe.
“You were with the kids the whole time?” Samuel lifted his gaze from the document in his hand and
focused it on Natalie’s face as he spoke.
“Yeah.” Natalie nodded with a smile. “Maybe it was because I missed Franklin and Sophia growing up
when they were younger, so I wanted to be by their side now. I want to be there for them from now on.”
She had just reached Samuel’s side when he tugged on her wrist and pulled her onto the bed.
“Samuel, what are you—”
“Shouldn’t you spend time with me now that the kids are asleep?” Samuel’s dark gaze locked onto hers.
“We’ve lost five years together. Shouldn’t you spare some time for me too?”
“I didn’t even know you and hadn’t even liked you then. So you can’t actually say that we’ve lost five
years,” Natalie said, blinking her eyes innocently.
“I’m sure I will still fall for you all the same if I have met you then.” Samuel pressed a kiss to her hand.
“You have to come up with some way to repay me for the five years we lost. Especially the nights.”
Samuel stressed the word “night.”
Natalie could feel her face heat up at the innuendo.

Every time she heard rumors about him being celibate, she had wanted to correct them. After all, he was
the total opposite when he was in bed. He wouldn’t stop until she was screaming and begging for mercy.
Seeing the blush on her face, Samuel stopped teasing her and pulled her against his chest.
“Didn’t you ever feel the connection that you could be Franklin’s and Sophia’s biological mother when
you were with them?” he asked.
“I did feel some indescribable connection when I was with them.” Natalie muttered, “I just… didn’t dare to
think about it deeper. I was scared that it was all my imagination. If my hopes fell short, wouldn’t it be
pitiful?”
Natalie’s voice turned airier as she spoke.
Samuel didn’t expect Natalie to be upset at his random question.
He tightened his arms around her and said, “I’m sorry, Nat.”
