Chapter 740 Overthinking
Back at the Bowers residence, Samuel stopped Natalie from carrying her groceries and offered, “Let me do it.”
“Sure,” Natalie gladly accepted with a nod as she stayed by his side submissively.
When Gavin saw Samuel and Natalie walk in intimately, he felt an inexplicable burning sensation in his eyes. The
sight of someone accompanying his employer brought him untold joy.
“Welcome back,” Gavin greeted them with a vibrant smile as he discreetly wiped the corner of his eye.
“Mmm-hmm.” Pointing at the groceries Samuel was carrying, Natalie suggested, “I suddenly felt like having steak,
so let’s cook some tonight!”
Gavin replied warmly, “Sure. I’ll whip up anything that you fancy.”
After receiving the groceries, Gavin went into the kitchen to cook. Soon, a myriad of dishes was served on the table.
There was steak, seafood, vegetables, and many other dishes.

Even though Natalie was famished, she still had to help the children with their food for fear of them getting scalded
by the hot plates. At that moment, Xavian picked up the cutlery and suggested with a smile, “Mommy, you’re
almost drooling on the steak. Let me do it instead. Before we came to the Bowers residence, wasn’t I the one who
always served you and Clayton?”
Evidently, Xavian was the most attentive out of the four children, for he was aware of how much she loved steak.
Of all the dishes on the table, the one she couldn’t resist was the steak. Given how fat and juicy it was, its taste was
so tantalizing that it would give anyone who ate it foodgasm.
“Mmm-hmm.”
After cutting a piece for herself, she quickly noticed that two other pieces were added to her plate.
One was from Franklin, while the other was from Samuel.
“Mommy, take mine!” Franklin raised his brow. “Mine’s more tender. Daddy’s overcooked.”
Samuel casually warned, “Be careful of it being uncooked if it’s too tender.”
Natalie seemed oblivious to the father and son’s squabbles as she shoved both pieces of steak into her mouth.
Consequently, Samuel and Franklin were equally stumped.
Sitting at the dinner table, the entire family enjoyed a wonderful time together.
Samuel didn’t eat much as he spent most of his time observing Natalie and serving her whatever she wanted. Also,
he would constantly help her wipe away the stains around her mouth, which she wasn’t aware of.
Toward the end of their meal, Samuel’s phone began to buzz in his pocket.
After checking to see who was calling, Samuel left the dining room to answer the call. The next moment, Steven’s
voice rang out.
“What is it?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Sam, have you forgotten that the day after tomorrow is the day you’re supposed to give the Bowers family and
the elders an explanation?” Steven’s voice was filled with anxiety. “Even though your imprisonment of Miguel in the
villa was done secretly, news of it still leaked. Consequently, the elders and other relatives managed to find out
about it and are dissatisfied with you for doing so. As of now, they have yet to censure your actions due to their
fear of you. But if you don’t provide them an acceptable explanation three days later, they will depose you as the
head of the Bowers family easily, just like how they helped install you in the first place.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Samuel plainly replied. “It makes no difference that I give the position up and hand it over to
you.”
“Yes, you might not care about the position, but please think about my future sister-in-law,” Steven reminded in a
concerned tone. “Until the perpetrator responsible for Grandpa’s accident is found, the Bowers family will not rest.
Even if she is under your protection, she still won’t be able to live her life in peace.”
“I know.” Looking out the window at the night sky, Samuel reassured his brother, “Steven, I know you’re concerned
about me, but your worries are unnecessary this time.”
