Chapter 485 Doubting Himself Franklin and Sophia were his precious grandchildren!
Though Kenneth did not like how they disrespected Yara, he still wished to maintain a close relationship with Franklin and Sophia.
But somehow, they seemed to have drifted apart.
He did not know what he did wrong and had no clue why his great-grandchildren were mad at him.
He would have broken down and cried if Xavian and Clayton were not with him.
Xavian could tell Kenneth was trying to hold back his tears. âAre you okay? You can talk to us if youâre upset.â
Clayton too, nodded. âYes! We can lend you an ear.â
Their sincerity touched Kenneth. He then told them how Franklin and Sophia refused to reconcile with their biological mother no matter how hard he tried.
He also told the boys how the great-grandchildren resented him for it. Nonetheless, he did not reveal their names to Xavian and Clayton.
At this point, these two boys still had no idea Yara was Franklinâs and Sophiaâs so-called biological mother. Hence, they did not associate their stories with Kennethâs.
After telling his story, Kenneth expected Xavian and Clayton to understand him and take his side.
But Xavian threw out a question that even Kenneth could not answer. âBut why would you try to mend their relationship if sheâs their biological mother?â
âI think being able to spend time with my mommy is the happiest, isnât it?â Clayton also expressed his doubt. âHow we wish our Mommy could split into a few figures so that we could spend more time with her! Itâs so weird that your great-grandkids refused to get close with their mommy.â
Their remarks rendered Kenneth speechless.
It was natural for children to be dependent on their mothers. By right, no one was needed to help mend their relationship, let alone force them.
But Kenneth had tried every possible way to bring Franklin and Sophia closer to Yara but to no avail.
What have I done wrong?
âGrandpa, your great-grandchildren must be smart kids, right?â Clayton asked.
âOf course!â Kenneth responded with pride.
âThey had only disrespected their mommy but not anyone else, right?â Xavian continued with another question.
Kenneth thought about it before answering, âYes. Theyâre kids with good manners and know how to behave in public.â
âIf thereâs nothing with your great-grandchildren, could the problem lie with their mommy?â Clayton asked directly.
Kenneth initially wanted to answer no, but he could not find a way to justify his answer.
The questions two young boys asked got him thinking. Could it really be Yaraâs problem?
But he brushed aside that thought as quickly as it came.
âTheir mother is a kind person. She had even rescued me when I suffered a heart attack. Iâm getting older by the day, but sheâs the one who willingly accompanies me when all the other family members are busy with their work and careers,â he explained.
âShe sounds like a nice lady.â
âOh, yes!â Kenneth sighed. âThatâs why I donât understand why the kids refused to acknowledge her as their mother!â
âCalm down, Grandpa,â Xavian said. âMy mommy once told us that every mother in this world loves and cares for their children, and children love and care for their mothers too. Could there be a misunderstanding? Anyway, I think theyâll be fine!â
Kenneth could not resist stroking the heads of these caring and sensible young boys.
âHearing you mention your mommy all the time makes me want to meet her!â Kenneth let out a sigh. How did she train her kids to be so kind and obedient?
Suddenly, Xavianâs phone rang, and it was a call from Natalie.
âItâs Mommy!â Xavian lifted his head and grinned. âOur mommy might not have the time to meet you, but you can talk to her over the phone!â
