A Cue for Love chapter 309 Pay Back For Your Tricks Yara hated stray cats and dogs.
The thought of those appalling creatures coming close had bile filling up her throat. Her disgust intensified at the thought of rabies vaccinations after getting scratched or bitten by one of them.
âSophia, do you understand what Iâm saying?â
âI donât.â
Sophia shook her head vigorously, yet she still carried the stray cat gently in her arms.
âMeow.â
âAre you hungry, Kitty?â Sophia gently caressed its head.
âMeow.â
âIâll feed you, Kitty.â
Sophia picked up the freshly-peeled shrimp with her little hand and fed it to the kitten.
The kitten took a bite into the shrimp when it caught the sweet yet fishy smell. Its eyes sparkled at the taste as it gulped down the rest of the shrimp down. In a blink of an eye, the entire shrimp was gone.
Peeling the shrimps had Yaraâs hands covered with the nasty smell. Her pretty manicured nails were also peeling off on the sides.
The twins didnât want to eat it, but they fed it to the filthy cat. Have they done it on purpose just to spite me?
âFranklin, Sophia, I peeled all these shrimps for you. How can you guys feed all of them to the cat?â
Yaraâs temper spiked, and her voice turned shrill.
âDidnât you say earlier that you wanted us to be happy?â Franklin raised his eyebrow and asked, âCanât you see Sophia likes Kitty? Why are you getting mad at her?â
Yaraâs face was burning red from Franklinâs challenging tone, then her gaze turned dark as she tried to keep it in check.
âYou guys are playing a prank on me, am I right?â
âThis doesnât even count as a prank.â Franklin folded his arms over his chest and continued speaking like an adult. âDonât even think about becoming our mom, simply because weâre blood-related. We wonât agree to it, even if Daddy did.â
His defiant words had pushed Yaraâs anger over the edge.
I have waited for five years.
I have plotted for five years.
I had been thinking every moment and trying my best to marry Samuel these five years. I thought the twins were my key to the Bowers family. However, they turned out to be my obstacle.
Vile spawns!
I shouldâve left them to burn to death with their mother in the fire so they wouldnât be my obstacle.
Yara clenched her fist tightly then slammed it on the table.
Her violent action startled the kitten in Sophiaâs arms.
The kitten meowed from shock, then jumped away from Sophiaâs arms to land beside Yaraâs foot.
Yara jumped away from the kitten, disgusted with the dirty creature. A stabbing pain burst through her back when she turned. She looked over her shoulder and realized her back slammed into the corner of the dining table roughly. Tears filled her eyes from the pain.
âYou!â
Feeling pissed and hurt, the threat holding her rationale snapped at that last trigger.
She stomped with angry strides to Sophia and grabbed the latterâs arm, holding her in place. She then raised her hand, prepared to slap it across Sophiaâs cheek.
Before her palm could fall, Kennethâs furious yell came from the entrance.
âStop! What do you think youâre doing to Sophia?â
With her hand still in the air, Yara wanted to complain to Kenneth.
But, this time, Sophia began bawling before she could even open her mouth.
âGreat-grandpa, she wants to hit me!â Sophia screamed with all her might.
Sophia was truly terrified.
If Great-grandpa hadnât arrived then, I wouldâve to brace for Yaraâs abuse. Recalling Yaraâs cruel expression, tears began to flow continuously from her reddish eyes.
Sophia wrapped her arms tightly around Kennethâs leg with teary eyes.
âIâm scared of pain. Great-grandpa, save me.â
Sophia had always been like the bright, shining sun to Kenneth. His heart clenched, seeing the tears flowing from her eyes.
âDonât cry. There wonât be any pain. Now that Iâm here, no one can hurt you.â
âIâm scared, Great-grandpa.â
âDonât be.â
Kenneth picked up the wailing Sophia into his arms, gently patting her back, trying to calm her down.
Despite his gentleness with Sophia, he sent a cutting gaze at Yara.
Yaraâs stomach lurched at his sharp gaze.
He must have misunderstood.
She opened her mouth to explain, but Kenneth simply whirled around and left the dining room with Sophia.
âIsnât it enough if you just focus on singling me out? But you even brought harm to Natalie. She got hurt trying to protect me.â Franklin paused, then snorted, âI will pay you back for all the tricks you have played in front of Great-grandpa.â
