NovelEnglishChapter 312
The moon was bright, and there weren’t many stars in the dark sky.
The autumn breeze was cooling and refreshing.
Natalie had spent the entire day in the autopsy laboratory.

The intense pressure from her work kept her on her toes every second. At last, she could finally catch a
breath now.
Natalie caught a glimpse of Steven getting off his sports car.
Steven walked over to Natalie. “There was something Sam had to deal with at the office, so he might
not be back tonight.”
“Okay.”
Natalie nodded then placed her helmet on the handlebar.
“Then, why are you here?”
Steven explained with a chuckle, “Grandpa fetched the twins for lunch at his house after school ended.
I just brought them back from there. They’re currently sleeping in the backseat.”
“Shall we carry them back to bed?”

Natalie opened the backseat door gently.
She bent down and carried Sophia out from the car.
Maybe it was Natalie’s warmth. Or the faint herby scent always surrounding her, Sophia wrapped her
arms tightly over Natalie’s neck like a koala hanging on a tree.
“Mom… Mommy…”
“Mommy’s here. Don’t worry. Go to sleep.”
Natalie gently patted Sophia’s back in a rhythm to bring the latter back to sleep. Patience and
gentleness shone in her eyes.
In comparison, Steven seemed clumsy from the way he carried Franklin. Luckily, Franklin slept like a
log. He merely mumbled something under his breath then allowed his Uncle Steven to carry him off to
bed.
The two carried the twins back to their room.
Natalie tucked their blankets neatly over them. Then, she stealthily made her way out of the room after
ensuring they were settled.
Steven was standing right by the door, watching her every move as she cared for the twins. His lips
were pressed into a thin line as he looked on.
The difference between Natalie’s and Yara’s earlier behavior struck a huge blow at him.
Yara were the twins biological mother.
Yet, she didn’t even help when he carried the twins into the car earlier. All she cared about was
Samuel.
In contrast, this woman, who wasn’t related to the twins, had cared so sincerely for them.
At that point, Steven finally understood why the picky twins didn’t care for anyone else other than this
average woman.
Because she was worthy of their loyalty and love.
Natalie didn’t know about the thoughts running through Steven’s mind. She had never considered her
actions to be worth bragging. They were simply what she would have done for her own kids.
“Ms. Nichols, I have a question for you.”
“Go ahead.” Natalie turned to face him.
“What are you going to do if the twins’ mother comes back?” Steven asked.
He thought his straightforward question would surprise her, but she merely replied casually, “Nothing.
I’m not going to do anything. I’m fine as long as they’re happy. If they’re happy, so am
I.”
Steven’s body stiffened at her answer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI used to be so confused as to why Sam would fall for such an average woman.Samuel is indeed
Samuel. I realized I was too shallow until this very moment.
Early morning, the next day.
Samuel didn’t return home the entire night. And Natalie slept in due to exhaustion from the day before.
Only four small figures were eating and chatting at the dining table.
“Franklin, that woman seems kind of close to you.” With a half-eaten bread in his hand, Clayton asked,
“I got nothing from your answer yesterday. It was too cursory. What exactly is your relationship with
her?”
Sophia was sipping on her milk as she answered hurriedly, “Clayton, she has nothing to do with
us.”
“Really?”
Xavian and Clayton didn’t believe her one bit.
In contrast to Sophia’s nervousness, Franklin casually wiped the breadcrumbs on the corner of his
mouth with a silk handkerchief. “Which part of my answer yesterday were you confused about?
“I can repeat it a thousand times if you guys don’t understand. “We have nothing to do with her.
That woman was only interested in marrying Daddy and not forgetting his position. She wants to be our
mommy. That’s it.”
