A Cue for Love Chapter 159 I Do Not Care Faced with Samuelâs question, Kenneth answered loudly and unashamedly, âYes, I caned him. Franklin is my great-grandson, and he did something wrong but refused to apologize. How is there anything wrong with me caning him for misbehavior?â
The old man then walked tremblingly toward Samuel before adding, âWhy do you ask? Are you questioning my decision?â
A subtle but murderous emotion gleamed in Samuelâs darkened gaze at once.
He bravely locked eyes with Kenneth and said, âGrandpa, Franklin is my son. I will personally discipline him for any of his wrongdoings, so please stop using your outdated and violent ways to educate my children as you did to Steven and me.â
âYou-â Kenneth was speechless.
âI believe Iâve made myself very clear, Grandpa.â
Although Samuel did not use a single vulgar word, every word he said was profound.
âWell then, Samuel, let us talk openly about something I wish to discuss now that Yara is here. Weâre all aware that she has birthed Franklin and Sophia, both of your children. So why is it that you havenât given her a proper place or title in this family? What kind of a man are you?â Kenneth stated while candidly pointing at Yara.
To this, Samuel gave a curt response. âFive years ago, I only acknowledged her as Franklin and Sophiaâs biological mother, but not once did I promise to give her any place in this family.â
Kennethâs trembled with rage upon hearing that.
Likewise, Yaraâs expression immediately turned sour. She could not help feeling annoyed that Samuel chose to keep a distance from her, as he did throughout the last five years.
Iâve successfully persuaded Samuel that Iâm Franklin and Sophiaâs biological mother. Why wonât he give me a single chance to share a bed with him? Ugh! I donât get it. Why would he rather have a fling with Natalie instead of marrying me, the mother to his children? She and I have the same face; most people canât even tell the difference between us. So why doesnât he feel the same way for me as he does for Natalie?
âSamuel, my feelings for you and the kids are genuine!â Yara pleaded as she forced out a couple of fake tears.
âI donât care,â Samuel snapped.
His response to Yara made Kennethâs blood boil once more.
The latter bellowed, âSo thatâs how you usually treat Yara? With such disrespect? This lovely girl bore your children, but you donât even know how to cherish her. Instead, you fall head over heels in love with a hideously freckled woman! How absurd!â
Samuel immediately flew off the handle as he let out a menacing roar, âDonât you dare speak ill of Natalie!â
âWhy? Do you value her more than me, your very own Grandpa?â Kenneth challenged.
Samuelâs fists balled up at his sides. It took him a while to calm down before asking in a low voice, âWhereâs Franklin and Sophia?â
âThat shameless woman of yours took them away with her.â
Hearing that, Samuel whipped around and headed toward the main gate.
âAnd where do you think youâre going?â Kenneth yelled from behind.
âTo get Franklin and Sophia.â
Not wanting Samuel to see Natalie again, Kenneth called out loudly, âYouâre staying here. Iâll get my assistant, Leo, to pick the children up.â
However, Samuel continued walking out of the Bowers residence as if he had not heard Kenneth.
âSamuel! Get back here right now!â Kennethâs voice boomed angrily, but Samuel was persistent and did not even turn to spare him a single glance.
âGrandpa, what do I do? Iâve completely lost to that woman! Iâve sacrificed so much for Samuel, but why canât he see itâ¦?â Yara sobbed uncontrollably.
At this, Kenneth felt a lump in his throat. He gently patted her on the shoulder while reassuring, âDonât you worry. Iâll always support you as long as I still live and breathe.â
Just as Samuel headed to the courtyard, Gavin walked over.
The former said, âThank you for immediately reporting todayâs incident to me, Gavin.â
âNo problem, Mr. Samuel. I was only doing my job.â Gavin paused to think for a moment before hesitantly adding, âIâm all right, but Ms. Natalie-â
âWhat happened to her?â Samuel asked as soon as he heard Natalieâs name.
âMs. Natalie took two canes from Old Mr. Bowers while protecting Mr. Franklin and Ms. Sophia. Old Mr.
Bowers evidently held back when he caned Mr. Franklin. However, with Ms. Natalie, he used his full strengthâ¦â A chill went down Gavinâs spine as he mentally recalled details from the scene.
Shock and concern loomed over Samuelâs now paled face.
At that moment, a breeze brushed by and ruffled the menâs hair.
It was not long before a dangerous and cold aura thickened in the air around them; Samuel seemed like a manifestation of the devil at that very moment.
