A Cue For Love Chapter 540


    A Cue for Love Chapter 540


    Did He Bully You


    Samuel took Natalie’s hand in his and red at Keh. “Now that you’ve seen Natalie and the kids, I


    believe there’s nothing else to say or do,” he said bluntly, “so we should get going.”


    “How dare you!” Keh looked outraged.


    Samuel knew he could not deal with his grandfather the same way he was ustomed to dealing with


    people who displeased him. Therefore, the only way he could assert his dominance was by being firm


    with his grandfather that Natalie was his woman and that was an irrefutable fact. He would defend her


    from everything to the best of his ability, whether he had Keh’s support or not.


    Samuel turned to leave while holding her hand but Natalie did not budge.


    “Nat?” Samuel asked with a frown.


    “I appreciate your concern for me, Samuel.” Natalie nced at Keh before continuing. “Your


    grandfather treated me with respect tonight. Even the kids hardly get to see their great-grandfather.


    Let’s stay a little longer. I need to catch my breath after getting up.”


    “Are you really…”


    “Yes.” Natalie was amused yet touched by Samuel’s anxiousness. “Ask the kids if you don’t believe


    me.”


    The four kids nodded in unison.


    Franklin raised his hand as if taking an oath. “Great-grandpa did not misbehave today. I can vouch for


    him.”


    “Me too!” Sophia piped up.


    “I believe you.” The knot in Samuel’s brow loosened with the overwhelming reassurances.


    Keh watched in admiration at how loyal the children and Samuel were to leap to Natalie’s defense.


    Before, he was under the impression that Natalie was a maniptive woman.


    Their most recent encounter had changed his mind. Keh began to realize that she deserved


    everything she had because she was loyal to them in return.


    As the excitement simmered down, the three adults and four children sat huddled around the firece


    that wintry night.

    Having been left unsatisfied with the oue of the earlier game of Go, Keh coerced Natalie into


    another with Samuel and the children spectated the game attentively from the side.


    Amidst the sound of wood crackling merrily in the firece and the delicate waft of tea intermingled


    with the rich buttery scent of scones, the children were lost in the thrill of the game.


    Samuel, on the other hand, had his mind far removed from the game as he watched Natalie who was


    moving the white pieces with his eyes reflecting the dancing mes to startling effect.


    With the graceful direction of hernky arm, every piece moved and fell into ce calmly. With the


    aggression of Keh’s ck pieces at her heels, Natalie nimbly sidestepped every attempt to force


    her against the corners of the board.


    Just when Samuel thought that he had understood Natalie’s steps, she surprised him yet again.


    As he admired her, he could not resist wondering how many more tricks she had up her sleeve that he


    had yet to know about.


    When would I finally be able to know her as well as she knows me?


    The second game took longer than the first as Keh tread with extreme caution, not daring to


    underestimate his young adversary again.


    Despite his precautions, Natalie once again led the scoreboard with a majority of her pieces intact by


    the end of the second game.


    Undeterred, Keh demanded the third match before Jefford was forced to intervene.


    “It’s half-past ten, Mr. Bowers,” he reported. “Bedtime for you, sir. Doctor’s orders.”


    Keh shot him a fierce re. “Stay out of it.”


    Jefford grimaced. “Yes, sir.”


    Natalie carefully sorted the pieces by color before cing them back into the box and making sure that


    the lid was secure before taking her leave.


    Samuel nced at the four children who were beginning to nod off. “The kids are tired. I’ll have Billy


    come over and take them home.”


    Keh did not wish to force Samuel to stay when he clearly was not keen on doing that. This brat


    needs time to get over this grudge. I’ll only make things worse if I speak up.


    A littleter, Billy arrived outside the mansion and assisted Samuel and Natalie in carrying the sleeping


    children to the car.


    Kehpsed into a thoughtful silence with his eyes fixed on the neatly packed chess set.
