Tina clenched her fists, her hands sweating.If she took off her glasses and revealed her face, she would be done for!“It’s not that I’m trying to anger you. My face is a little bit deformed, and you might be shocked when you see me.”“I don’t care, just take off those sunglasses! Don’t you dare defy me!” Cindy snorted scornfully. “Let’s see how ugly you are!”Tina clenched her teeth.She didn’t expect things to turn out like this.When Tina was in a tight spot, Cindy’s phone rang all of a sudden.At first, Cindy wouldn’t budge until she saw Linda’s face. However, her complexion changed the moment she saw the phone screen.“Hello?” Cindy, who sounded arrogant and obnoxious before, changed her tone into that of a gentle and loving wife. “Samuel!”The person on the other end of the phone was none other than Samuel Langford.“What? You want to come here?” Cindy sounded extremely excited. “That’s great!”After exchanging a few flirtatious lines, she forwarded the address of the
When Samuel appeared, Tina lowered her head to make herself less noticeable.His chilling gaze swept across the crowd. For some reason, his eyes fell on Tina for a while.Tina’s heart was racing. Was her identity about to be exposed?Soon, Cindy burst out of the fitting room.“Samuel, you’re here! Take a look at my outfit! Do I look pretty?” Cindy asked with a flirtatious tone.Only then did Samuel shift his gaze away from Tina.Oddly enough, the old-fashioned and weird-looking woman seemed familiar to him.He looked at Cindy, who was wearing a red gown. Her wearing such bright colors was unusual, as she always carved an innocent and gentle image for herself.Samuel frowned. “This dress, it looks…”The design of the dress was simple yet intricate. It was fascinating how it enhanced Cindy’s figure with such a simple design.Suddenly, another woman flashed across his mind.Tina would look better in that.When Cindy noticed that Samuel seemed annoyed, she panicked.“You don’t
Tina’s relief was stopped short and her anxiety reared its ugly head once more. “Is there anything you still need, Mrs. Langford?”Cindy sized up Linda.Although Cindy hated the way Linda portrayed herself, the latter still did a great job in choosing the red dress for her. Linda’s eye for good clothes even won Samuel over, who was often a critic of everything.Besides, Cindy also heard that Linda had a daughter.Even if Cindy kept Linda by her side, Samuel would never fall for someone who had already given birth.Thus, Cindy came to a decision.“I take back my words earlier. Your designs aren’t too bad. From now on, you’ll become my personal fashion designer. Don’t design clothes for anyone aside from me!”“What?” Tina was shocked. She stuttered, “But, I…”“I don’t want to hear any excuses!”Then, Cindy turned to leave in a hurry.Tina stood rooted to the ground. Even after they left, she remained frozen on the spot.However, her colleagues exploded in excitement.“Oh my g
Keith didn’t expect Kara, who seemed innocent and gullible, to notice his unique traits.“How do you know?” he asked as he frowned.“It’s so obvious! I can see it with my eyes!” Kara pointed at her own eyes and added angrily, “I am not stupid, okay?”Keith was speechless.Then, he asked for further details, “Do you know the man’s name? What is he working as?”Keith’s string of questions left Kara dumbfounded.“Umm…”“You stupid girl! If you don’t provide me with the basic information, how am I supposed to find that man for you?”At first, Keith thought that Kara was more than she seemed. In the end, she was just a clueless five-year-old.Kara was infuriated by Keith’s ruthlessness. She clenched her fists and announced, “If you don’t want to help me, I’ll find out about him myself!”Fuming, she bolted out Keith’s room and went back to her own.Keith didn’t think too much of what Kara said. He simply thought that she was just throwing a fit. So, he turned to his screen and sca
Without a second’s delay, Tina rushed to Little Stars as fast as she could.“What on earth happened?” She questioned in disbelief. “Kara’s always been an obedient child. How could she just disappear out of the blue?”The teachers at the kindergarten were riddled with deep anxiety.“We looked through the surveillance cameras and found out that she climbed over the walls to escape!”“How could this be?” Tina couldn’t believe her ears.All these years, Tina had raised her daughter all by herself. She knew Kara best.Kara had always been emotionally attached to her mother, and had never caused any trouble for Tina.Kara leaving by climbing the walls was beyond Tina’s expectations!The kindergarten teachers knew that Tina wouldn’t believe them. So, they took her to the security room to watch the footage.The footage revealed that when all the children were having their afternoon nap, Kara snuck out when nobody was paying attention.Since the exits were all guarded by the teachers, Kara snuck
Right now, the TV channel was broadcasting live news.After Samuel had signed the contract with the representative of the fashion magazine, the live broadcast ended.Samuel was prepared to leave right after.However, the representative stopped Samuel from leaving and asked him respectfully, “Mr. Langford, would you like to stay for a toast at the celebration feast later?”Samuel did sign a contract that was worth billions with them.If they could convince Samuel to sign a long-term contract, they’d be earning even more profit!However, Samuel waved his hand and refused them. “It’s fine. I have something to do.”The representative persisted. “Is it because Mrs. Langford isn’t here right now? I heard you and your wife have a really good relationship. Why don’t you ask Mrs. Langford to attend the event as well?”It wouldn’t hurt to win Mrs. Langford over to their side.She might be able to convince Samuel to sign more deals with them. After all, husbands always listened to thei
Kara thought for a while, and then decided to fight back with an angry retort.“I won’t tell you anything!”The moment she laid eyes on the big monster, she could already see why her mommy was so scared of him.If Kara told him her mother’s identity, this monster would definitely make things difficult for the latter.She would never tell him, no matter what!Oddly enough, not only did Samuel find the young girl cute, but he also had the urge to play around with her.“Are you sure?” Samuel was calm and collected. “If you don’t tell me, you won’t be able to go home. Won’t your mommy be worried about you?”Kara was stunned.“No, I have to go home! If I don’t, Mommy will be very worried. You monster, let go of me! I want to go home!”“I’ll let you go, as long as you tell me your mother’s name,” Samuel persisted.“I…I…” Kara began sobbing uncontrollably. “You monster! I want to go home! I want to go home!”Looking at the child brazenly throwing a tantrum in public, the guards wer
There were two reasons why Samuel personally sent Kara to the police station. Firstly, this young girl seemed oddly familiar to him. Secondly, he wanted to see who her mother really was.How dare her child accuse him of being a bully!Samuel looked over in Tina’s direction immediately the moment the police officer informed him of her arrival.When he saw the person standing outside the door, his frown turned into a grimace.“Is she the one?”The woman had a haggard appearance. With her face covered with dirt, it almost seemed like she had tripped and landed squarely on her face.If she remembered correctly, this woman’s name was Linda, the fashion designer.Tina stood rooted to the ground. She still hadn’t come back to her senses.Samuel sneered, “You’re her mother?”“I…I…”Tina broke out in cold sweat instantly.She didn’t expect the kind pedestrian to turn out to be Samuel Langford.How could this be? He was always a cruel-hearted man who didn’t care for anything. Why did
Chapter 826The man's breath was scalding her skin, and his deep, husky voice assailed her eardrums.Like a scared rabbit, Tina abruptly turned around and asked, "What are you doing..."She turned around, only to end up in his arms. The man happened to bend down, but she kissed him by accident. It was not her intention.Tina widened her eyes in astonishment.Samuel hadn't expected her to suddenly turn around. It was such a pleasant surprise.He didn't give the woman a chance to escape. He lifted the blanket to cover Kara and keep her out of the improper scene.In the next instant...He wrapped his arms around Tina's slender waist."Heh, did you do that on purpose, eh?" His voice was thick with playfulness."I didn't." Tina avoided making eye contact with the man.'Come on, it was just an instinctive reaction.'Unexpectedly, things went this way. She found it hard to explain.As expected, Samuel was not convinced. "Stop quibbling."This woman was full of lies.He found
Chapter 825Tina originally felt a little embarrassed. As she listened to Kara's words, Tina's fair face and ears turned red uncontrollably."What are you talking about? Why don't you hurry over here and take a nap?"Tina couldn't help but glare at her daughter.She couldn't understand why her daughter said that. Keith must have taught Kara such things.Tina thought, 'I should talk with Keith.'Although he was a genius hacker, and he knew a lot of things at a young age, he couldn't mislead his sister.Just as Tina was muttering inwardly, Keith, who was talking to Arthur, suddenly sneezed."Wow, boss, I didn't expect you to sneeze like an ordinary person."Arthur said with a voice changer, "Tut, tut. Is someone cursing you?Keith couldn't help but frown."Who dares to curse me?" He narrowed his eyes. Although his face was young, his tone was like that of Samuel. "Is it you?"At these words, Arthur immediately broke a sweat as if a big crime was pinned on him."Boss, I was w
Chapter 824Samuel was walking so fast that Tina had to jog to keep up. She was afraid of being left behind.Finally, Samuel stopped at the door to Kara's room.After he carried Kara inside, Tina came up.The sight of the woman appearing and panting made him frown."What happened to you?""I," Tina stammered, "you walked too fast. I couldn't keep up."She didn't know why she was so weak now.It was not a long way from the courtyard to the room. The trotting had brought profuse sweat to her forehead. Her face was a bit pale, and she was teetering.Samuel saw it, tensed up, and grabbed her despite his anger at her.Like iron, his robust arm wrapped around the waist of the tottering woman.His brows locked in a frown, he said coldly, "Did you cast the doctor's caution to the wind? You're aware of your condition and know that you need to recuperate, yet you ran so fast. You'd get yourself killed."In a deep voice, he reproached Tina for not caring about herself.To Tina's ears
Chapter 823"What?" Immediately, the maid got the attention of the other maids around. The maid glanced at Tina who was chasing after Samuel and gleefully told the others what had happened earlier. "Mr. Langford warned that woman that she was only a maid. "He also told the little princess that the woman was not her mummy. Only his wife could be the little princess's mommy!" The other maids were stunned. "Really, Mr. Langford really said that?" "If Mr. Langford treats her as a maid, how can she come to the party this afternoon and wear such a fancy dress..." "It must be due to the little princess!" "Mr. Langford gave her some decency for the sake of the kids, but that woman went too far. I heard she claimed at the party that she was Mr. Langford's woman. She went out of the boundary." "Mr. Langford must have been angry with this woman. He went to take the little princess away himself and warned..." The maids gossiped and chattered. They used to be careful
Chapter 822Samuel's tone was icy.Kara pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "But Mommy is not a maid. Even if Mommy were a maid, she would always be Kara's mommy."Kara's words gave Samuel a headache.Samuel thought, 'Ah! Like mother, like daughter!'Tina always makes me nervous, and so does Kara. Kara is on her mother's side and doesn't take me seriously.'They may be secretly calling me a bastard.'Samuel stopped in his tracks and asked coldly, "You are very unwilling to let your mommy leave, right?""Yes!" Kara nodded her head repeatedly."Then tell me. Do you want me, or do you want your mommy?"At Samuel's words, everyone around was stunned.Tina was a little confused and wondered if she had misheard. How could Samuel possibly say this?Why...Tina was amused, feeling Samuel's annoyance. The originally cold and ruthless man looked a little childish.The drivers also lowered their heads, trying to pretend they had not heard anything.Samuel, however, did not bother
Chapter 821Once the words were out of Samuel's mouth, Tina's heart was in her throat again.She looked at his dark eyes that were gleaming with playful light and immediately had a bad feeling. Despite that, she asked, "What... is it?""Moving into my room!" Samuel replied.His authoritative tone brooked no argument.In fact, this couldn't be called a request.If he wanted, this woman should have appeared in his room last night. He wouldn't have let her go to the room next to the children's.Samuel was just upset that this woman had failed to appreciate his kindness. Through this, he hoped that she would cooperate.However...Tina subconsciously blurted out, "No!"…The air in the car was frozen in an instant."Say it again?" Samuel forced the words out of his gritted teeth.His scowl frightened Tina so much that a cold sweat broke out on her back.She was too careless to blurt out her thoughts.She had to explain, "It's... not like that. I mean, the children need care
Chapter 820"Haha, Daddy is really nice. Daddy was worried about me and Mommy?!" Kara immediately said. Samuel, who didn't want to admit he was terribly worried, snorted. "Yes, I really was. I was worried that your mommy would kidnap you!"When she heard Samuel had specially come over to pick up their daughter, Tina had had some inexplicable feelings. But after hearing her explanation, she felt like he had poured a basin of cold water down her head, making all her feelings disappear. Yeah, of course, Samuel was worried! He didn't trust her at all, but treated their daughter so nicely as if she was a little princess. Of course, he was afraid that she would kidnap his precious daughter!Feeling so uncomfortable, she could not help but say, "I wasn't thinking about kidnapping the child…""Really?" Samuel asked with a very suspicious eye, "Do you think I'll believe what you say?!"Honestly, this little woman just turned around and ran away without any hesitation. But she d
Chapter 819When the car came into Tina's sight without any presage, her face turned pale.She was afraid that someone would get out of the car to harm her, so having no hesitation, she turned and ran with Kara in her arms.Immediately afterwards, a man's shout came from behind..."Tina! Where are you going?"His voice was pleasant to the ear, though it was tinged with annoyance.Tina's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and a sense of security came over her.‘It's Samuel!’She stopped running. Before she could turn around, Samuel had caught her wrist.It seemed that he was worried that Tina would run away with their daughter.Samuel exerted so much strength that Tina gave a gasp in pain."It hurts!" She subconsciously cried out and struggled. "Release me..."However, upon hearing her words, Samuel got angry.He was going to be infuriated by Tina!He went to the hospital in the morning. During the examination and treatment, he missed Tina and their children a lot.However, w
Chapter 818Mireya was pissed off. She grabbed Madam Langford's arm and angrily complained, "Godmother, look! How dare she publicly say that? She is so ambitious! "We must not let her marry Samuel!" Madam Langford patted Mireya's hand and said, "Don't worry! Samuel will only marry you! Such a slut cannot marry into our family!" "What about our previous plans..." Mireya asked. After thinking for a while, Madam Langford replied, "We'll leave this woman alone for a few days... Then we will..."People saw Mireya and Madam Langford whispering to each other, and they thought that Madam Langford was very fond of Mireya. "Mireya will definitely marry Mr. Langford. Look how close she is to Madam Langford!" "Yes! As for that woman..." Speaking of which, they turned their eyes to Tina. Even though Tina was never conspicuous, and neither did she care about others’ opinion, those people were always picking faults with Tina and slandered her. "Although Mr. Langford loves
