Chapter 866
After saying the last word, Natalie hung up the call. If she continued speaking, she was afraid that she would give in,
that she would be reluctant to let him go.
“What are you hiding from me, Samuel?” Natalie gazed at the night sky outside the windows, her eyes welling up
with tears. “Why are you forcing me to leave like this?”
Meanwhile, Samuel turned his handsome face toward the car window. His brooding gaze landed on the vehicles
zooming past the roads as he gripped the steering wheel tightly.
“Never meet again?” A glint flashed across Samuel's eyes as he mumbled deeply, “Before I die... I probably can't
do it even if I wanted to.”
Hence, he found a new identity for himself.
After returning to the Bowers residence, Natalie packed her suitcase. Then, she went to the children's rooms and
told them that she would be working and staying in Loang.

“Yeah!”
“Will he be on the same flight as us?”
Natalie knew that she would not be able to escape this topic. However, when the kids interrogated her so eagerly,
she became flustered. “No, your daddy has important work to deal with. You might not be able to see him for a long
time...”
When she said that, the five kids asked simultaneously, “Why?”
“Why?”
“Why?”
“Why?”
“Why?”
When Natalie heard the kids asking the same question, she felt like there was a dagger piercing her heart. Although
it hurt, she forced out a smile.
As she still had not thought of a reason to tell them, she had no choice but to lie.
“Don't overthink. It's because of work. Your daddy needs to stay in Chanaea, while my work is in Loang. Mommy
can't bear to part with the five of you, so I'm bringing you with me. If you miss your daddy, you can call him.”
Franklin and the rest felt relieved when they heard that. It had been tough for them to finally have parents. I don't
want to return to the past, when I have to choose between living with Daddy or Mommy.
“Mommy, everything's fine as long as you and Daddy are happy together.” Sophia patted her chest.
“Yeah! If Daddy bullies you, tell us! We'll back you up!” exclaimed Xavian as he clenched his fists.
“Impossible!” rebuked Franklin loudly. “Daddy dotes on Mommy so much! He won't bear to bully her.”
“Yeah!” agreed Clayton.
Even Yumi, who had just joined the family, nodded.
After being rebutted by his siblings, Xavian quickly explained, “Don't misunderstand. I'm just giving an example! Of
course, I know that Daddy loves Mommy a lot and won't hurt her.”
“Good that you know!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe children's interaction caused Natalie's gaze to flit around. She still had not told them about her breakup with
Samuel.
What about in the future?
After informing the kids, Natalie left the room.
When she left, the five kids crowded together and started discussing enthusiastically.
“Didn't you notice that Mommy's expression doesn't look too good?” asked Sophia worriedly as she propped her
head up with a hand.
“I think she's not doing well too. Her eyes are red, as if she just cried!” agreed Yumi, who was also a girl.
Meanwhile, the other three boys started making dense comments.
“Of course she's not doing too well! Daddy and Mommy will need to live apart for the time being, so it's normal that
she can't bear to leave him.”
“If her eyes are red, she definitely cried before this. It's normal for her to cry before leaving.”
“So, when we're with Mommy in Loang, let's avoid mentioning Daddy as much as possible. That way, Mommy won't
feel bad because she misses Daddy too much!”
