The Promise Of Happiness

Chapter 99 Another One Came To Steal Mommy
Sophia puffed up her cheeks as she blew on Samuel’s wound.
After that, she lifted her face and looked at Samuel, eyes brimming with tears. “It hurts...”
“It doesn’t. I’ve made you worry.”
Samuel picked Sophia up and caressed her hair gently.
Sophia’s body was extremely soft. She wrapped her arms around Samuel’s neck and hugged him in distress.
Sophia looks so much like that woman. But, why does that woman refuse to get close to me? She even thinks I’m dirty, for
goodness sake.
“Sophia, why doesn’t she feel distress for me like you do?”
She?
Samuel did not mention who he was talking about, but Sophia could tell that it was Natalie.
What happened between Natalie and Daddy?
Sophia was happy that Natalie treated her well.
However, she noticed that the latter liked her and Franklin, but disliked her father.
At that thought, Sophia became upset.
She wanted Natalie to become her mother, and wished that the latter could be with Samuel.
Although Samuel never showed that he liked Natalie, Sophia could tell that he loved Natalie dearly.
Back then, even though Daddy stayed with Franklin and me, he rarely smiled. Ever since Natalie appeared, I feel that Daddy is
not as cold as before anymore. I’m starting to see the warmth in his eyes.
“M-Mommy will...” Sophia tightened her arms around Samuel’s neck as she stammered, “L-Like... You...”
Having heard that, Samuel smiled faintly.

“I made a mistake and missed the chance to be with her a long time ago.” He paused and added, “This time, I will not let her
leave us again.”
The next day, Sophia did not see Samuel at the dining table.
She was swinging her legs while looking around for her father.
“Ms. Sophia, are you looking for Mr. Samuel? He has left for work,” Gavin said with a polite smile.
Sophia then nodded.
Daddy bled so much. Why did he go to work?
She still remembered the grim look in Samuel’s eyes when he talked about Natalie.
No! Daddy likes Natalie so much. I have to help him.
With that idea, she wanted to take action right away. However, Franklin was busy preparing for his piano competition. He stayed
out for most of the day, only returning around his bedtime.
Therefore, she made up her mind.
I’ll do this on my own!
In a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.
Xavian finally returned home from summer camp.
While he was humming a song as he entered the compound, he saw a little girl in a puffy purple dress roaming in front of the
entrance to his house.
Not far away, there were two middle-aged men staring at her maliciously. Those men looked like gangsters.
Xavian furrowed his brows at the sight.
Afraid that the girl might be in danger, Xavian quickly walked over to her and pulled her before they ran toward a crowded place.
Sophia finally noticed him, but she had to run with Xavian.

When they arrived in front of a convenience store which was packed with people, Xavian finally let go of Sophia’s hand.
Since both of them had short legs, they were panting heavily after running so much.
The next moment, they immediately recognized each other when their eyes met.
“You...”
“Y-You...”
Looking at the little girl who clung to his mother in the airport, Xavian frowned.
“You... What are you doing roaming around my house? Don’t tell me that you’re looking for my mom,” Xavian asked impolitely.
Xavian was unhappy that Clayton was stealing his mother away from him. Now, even an unrelated child is trying to steal Mommy
away?
Sophia nodded her head repeatedly as she plastered a sweet smile on her face.
