A Cue For Happiness Chapter 2


    Encountering A Cutie At The Airport


    Five yearster, a little boy d in blue overalls and a id shirt was attracting a lot of attention at the


    main terminal of Dellmoor International Airport.His wavy hair, exquisite features, and longshes curled


    upward like a doll gave everyone the impression that he would be the dream guy of many girls when he


    grew up.Just as everyone was curious about his mother’s beauty, a woman with a t nose, thick lips,


    and freckles dotted all over her face shouted out to him, “Have you bought the Coke,


    Sweetheart?”“Yes, I have, Mommy.”Hearing this, all thedies among the crowd dropped their jaws in


    disbelief. Is it possible for a handsome young boy to have such an unattractive woman as his mother?


    Ever since his mother started wearing that hideous hyper-realistic mask, such scenes would happen all


    the time, so Xavian Nichols was already used to it.He walked over to Natalie and handed her the fizzy


    drink before drinking some water obediently.“Mommy, how long are you nning to wear such an ugly


    thing?”“Are you saying that I’m ugly, Sweetheart?”“Of course not, Mommy. I’m just worried that you’ll


    feel stuffy wearing it for such a long time.”I don’t have the right toment on Mommy’s


    appearance!Xavian was the least attractive whenpared to his older brother, yton, and


    Natalie.Hence, he felt that he did not have the right, nor the courage, toment on her ethereal


    beauty.“It’s good that you’re aware of yourck of attractiveness, Sweetheart.”The passersby were


    utterly dumbfounded. Is there someone wrong with my beauty standards? The mother is way uglier


    than her kid!The corners of Natalie’s lips raised slightly as she observed the familiar yet foreign city


    through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the airport.It’s been five whole years. Time to return and settle


    the score!Just as Natalie was lost in her thoughts, an adorable little girl bumped into her and stumbled


    before falling to the ground.Seeing this, she quickly crouched down and helped the girl up.“Are you


    okay? Did you hurt yourself?”Sophia Bowers’ eyes flickered as she stared intently at Natalie.She did


    not make a fuss, but merely uttered, “M-Mommy…”“You can’t just casually call anyone your mom.


    She’s my mommy, not yours!” Xavian eximed, looking extremely jealous.Sophia ignored his words


    and wrapped her arms around Natalie.Natalie could feel the tightness of her grip, as though she was


    afraid of losing her.Xavian’s face was scrunched up with jealousy, but with a pointed look from Natalie,C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    he begrudgingly stood where he was and chugged his water.“Were you separated from your mommy?


    Where is she? I’ll take you to her, okay?”Sophia shook her head vigorously, looking slightly


    anxious.Assuming that the girl was feeling insecure, Natalie stroked her cheek. “Trust me, okay? I’ll


    help you find your mommy.”The five-year-old girl had never spoken nor made a sound before.However,


    she took an immediate liking to Natalie from the moment they met and even managed to utter that


    word.For some reason, Sophia felt a strong desire to depend on her.Hence, she stubbornly continued


    murmuring to Natalie, “Mom… Mommy…”Unlike Natalie, who was merely caught off guard by the girl’s


    actions, Xavian felt a surge of intense jealousy.Meanwhile, the second son of the Bowers family,


    Steven, was utterly relieved when he spotted Sophia. If I didn’t manage to find her, Sam would have my


    head!Noticing that the girl was with a stranger, he was about to carry her away when he heard her


    voice for the first time as she babbled, “Mommy…”Steven could not believe his ears. Crouching down,


    he ced a hand on Sophia’s shoulder.“What did you just say? Can you repeat that?”Seeing that he


    was here for her, the girl pointed at Natalie. “Mom… Mommy…”Steven followed the direction of her


    finger and saw an ordinary-looking face filled with freckles.What the hell? She’s calling this woman


    Mommy?Snapping out of his trance, he inquired, “What did you do to Sophia?”“You must be her father.


    Where did you get the nerve to question me?” Still thinking that the girl was feeling insecure, she could


    not help but remark, “Why aren’t you cherishing such a sweet girl? She must’ve had a hard life for her


    to address me as her mother.”Steven was once again dumbfounded. “She addressed you as her


    mother?”Natalie rolled her eyes. “Who else would she address that to? You?”Steven was rendered


    speechless by her remark.It took several confirmations for him to finally dispel his disbelief.“Allow me to


    introduce myself. I’m Sophia’s uncle, Steven Bowers. I was so surprised just now because she has


    suffered from aphasia since childhood and has never spoken to anyone.”As soon as Natalie heard that,


    she felt terrible for the girl.“Can he be trusted, Sophia?”The little girl nodded.“Is it true that you have


    aphasia, Sophia?”She received another nod in response.“Since he was looking for you, you should go


    home with him,” Natalie said as she caressed the little girl’s head.Without making a fuss, Sophia


    watched as Natalie walked away with Xavian.Just as Steven was about to ask the little girl how she


    was suddenly able to speak, he subconsciously nced at her and was surprised by what he


    saw.Sophia’s eyes were filled with tears as she sobbed silently.
