The servant’s panicked look displeased Cindy greatly.“What’s wrong? Tell me exactly what’s going on right now!”“Young master seems to be sick. A fever has broken out,” the servant reported worriedly.Young master? Was that Cindy’s son?Tina was momentarily baffled. Then, she chuckled bitterly in her heart. Since Cindy and Samuel were already lovingly married for so many years, it was natural for them to have a child together. However, the news of Keith being sick didn’t affect Cindy in the slightest. She simply laughed coldly before exclaiming, “He’s sick, you say? It’s only been a few days since I chased him into the attic. He must be acting!”Tina was shocked by Cindy’s selfish and vile nature. In comparison, the servant looked quite torn.“Mrs. Langford, Young Master really is sick. We just took his temperature. I think he hit 38 degrees already. Should we send him to the hospital and get him checked?”“Why does he need to go to the hospital? Can’t you see I’m busy? If Sa
A small figure was curled in the dark and narrow attic. Keith’s body was alarmingly hot, and the fever showed no signs of dissipating even after he took the antipyretics. His exposed skin was littered with eerie-looking red rashes, which presented both a shocking and disgusting appearance.He kept drifting in and out of consciousness as he mumbled weakly, “Mommy…”Keith never thought that things would become like this. Why? Why would his mommy turn out this way after so long of separation?Was he… not her real son?Why did she not hesitate to strike him when the moment called for it? Why did she ignore him when he was down with a fever?Keith could never understand the reasons. At that moment, he heard the sound of the attic door being opened.“Young Master is inside… Are you really experienced in taking care of children?”“Yes. I have a five-year-old daughter who was always sick when she was still a newborn, so I know how to take care of children.”Tina approached the child on
An Aston Martin was parked right outside the mansion. The man was wearing a custom-tailored suit that fit his figure perfectly. The moment he appeared at the doorway, his aura was more than enough to make everyone submit to him.Tina’s heart felt as though it was being gripped viciously by an invisible hand. Her first instinct was to flee.However, she was already very tired and weary from spending the entire night working. She was hugging a long gown to her chest as well.Out of carelessness, she accidentally stepped on the smooth fabric of the gown.“Ah!”She let out a scream before slipping and falling to the floor.Samuel’s sharp gaze instantly swept over to her fallen form. Afraid of being recognized, Tina quickly scrambled to her feet and left hurriedly with the gown in her arms.The man couldn’t help but frown while asking, “Who’s that suspicious-looking woman?”“That woman earlier was a fashion designer named Linda, Mr. Langford. Mrs. Langford was the one who invited he
Tina was stunned when she heard the servant. Color drained from her face, leaving her complexion chalk white.“Right now?”“Yes, right now,” the servant replied, finding Tina’s response to be a little strange. “The reason Mrs. Langford hired you to design clothes for her is because she wants to earn Mr. Langford’s favor. Now that he’s here, naturally, she wants him to look at the clothes.”Tina didn’t expect that all her hiding was for naught. In the end, she still had to appear in front of Samuel.She could only hope that her current appearance was too disheveled and ugly. It would be best if Samuel didn’t want to look at her at all. That way, he would never recognize her.Tina took a deep breath before grabbing the clothes that she had just designed and heading out of the room.At that time, Samuel was seated on a couch. Cindy sat next to him while gazing at him admiringly. When she noticed Tina coming in their direction, she quickly spoke in eager tones.“Samuel, the designer
Tina repeated, “Didn’t you hear what I said just now, Mr. Langford? You should consider seeking treatment if you’re deaf.”Samuel’s eyes glazed over her with a thin layer of ice before he spat a venomous word out of his thin lips.“Leave!”Tina’s fists were clenched tightly, already clammy with cold sweat. The entire time, she was waiting for that command.She didn’t hesitate to spin on her heels and walk away. At that moment, she didn’t bother hunching over to disguise herself, so her stubborn and straight figure appeared in Samuel’s line of sight.He frowned once again. The more he looked at her, the more he thought that she resembled that woman…Moreover, she was wearing a pair of sunglasses and kept trying to hide her appearance. She didn’t dare to show her face at all.A flash of suspicion streaked through his dark orbs, which were slightly narrowed.At that moment, Cindy walked down the stairs slowly in her new outfit.“Samuel, I’m done changing into my clothes. You…”B
Keith went silent.Samuel was right. Was this the outcome he truly wanted?He thought he would be able to live happily ever after with his mommy when he first hatched the long-term plan, but he didn’t realize that……His mommy never loved him in the first place.Samuel continued, “Cindy isn’t suitable to be a mother.”“Yes. You’re right; she is unsuitable, but I also heard that you have a side piece. Are you planning to let that woman become my mother instead?” Keith replied with another question.Dark eyes flitted across the room and were trained on Samuel’s face. Keith was just a miniature version of Samuel. Most of his features took after Samuel; everything except for his eyes.Keith’s words, as well as his gaze, reminded Samuel of that particular woman.A surge of annoyance flooded his heart as he frowned instinctively. “Where did you hear that rumor from?”“The walls have ears. People tend to talk, and I always listen to them.” Keith looked slightly surprised. “Are you rea
Ever since Samuel met Linda the designer, he had always been curious about her true appearance. It wasn’t until the moment he saw the irritatingly familiar silhouette that he decided to investigate Linda’s identity once and for all. That was the reason he pulled Tina’s sunglasses off her face without any hesitation.Tina was already stunned by the sudden assault, so she could only stare at the man in a daze. Samuel glanced at her before his brows tangled in a deep knot.That woman’s face…“Ahh!”Tina reacted by screaming loudly. She quickly covered her face and curled into a quivering ball by crouching down.“What are you doing?!”Samuel saw the face under the sunglasses flash past his line of sight earlier. It was a pale face with crooked and stiff-looking features. At first glance, it looked like the woman had gone overboard with plastic surgery.He realized that his guess about the woman was wrong. With a frown still nestled between his brows, he threw the sunglasses back to
Cindy shot a disgusted look at Tina, who had already worn her sunglasses.“I never expected that you’d look this ugly!”“Haha! That’s right. I’m not a natural beauty like you, Mrs. Langford,” Tina replied with a bitter smile.Cindy was pleased to hear the praise. She thought the designer was bold enough to seduce her husband, but it turned out that the latter was no more than an ugly hag.So what if this woman was a famous designer? She didn’t even dare to reveal her face in public!“People tend to say that ugly people cause the most trouble. You may be ugly, but I want you to remember this. My husband is the most capable man in this world. I won’t let any woman get close to him and seduce him. As for you, stop dreaming about doing any of those things. Got it?”Tina cradled her face gingerly. “Got it…”Cindy was satisfied by that answer. Before she could turn and leave, she suddenly remembered that she was here with another purpose.“Oh, right. I forgot to tell you something. T
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
