Chapter 442Immediately afterward, her eyes, which had been full of resistance, were filled with anticipation!"Samuel, you didn't lie to me, did you? You said you would fulfill one of my wishes. Anything, right?"Watching the change in the look of her eyes, Samuel only felt helpless and wanted to laugh."What's going on? Have you decided what you want?" asked Samuel.Tina said without hesitation, "I want Kara to be with me."As she uttered those words, she was full of hope inside. The next instant, Samuel's face clouded over."No way."Those two words were like a pot of cold water that doused all of Tina's expectations.The moment Samuel's words just broke off, she broke away from his grip. At that moment, Samuel felt his heart tighten and grabbed her again.Tina said, "Fine. Since I can't have Kara, I'll make another offer. How about you let me leave here?""No way!" Samuel still refused her offer without hesitation. Then, in an icy tone, he said, "Tina, I'm warning you no
Chapter 443However, what Tina feared did not happen. Tina thought Samuel would do something to her. However, when Samuel leaned closer, he just grabbed the blanket and tugged Tina in. Tina was surprised. She opened her eyes in shock. 'What’s going on?' "What are you going to do?" She couldn't help but ask Samuel. "What do you think I’m going to do?" A hint of mockery was in Samuel's tone. He looked down at Tina and said, "Have you forgotten that you're a patient? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would take advantage of you at such a time?" Tina subconsciously replied, "Aren’t..." Seeing the grim look on Samuel's handsome face, Tina didn’t say what was on her mind. She wrapped herself up, rolled to the corner, and looked at Samuel warily. "It's good you remembered I'm a patient. I'm very tired now. I want to rest. Excuse me." Samuel felt annoyed.' Damn woman! She is not grateful at all!' "Tina, are you ordering me around?" "I'm not." Tina's
Chapter 444Tina called out but got no answer. She glanced outside at the sky and noticed that it was light. Then she realized that she had a sound sleep all night, which was to her surprise. Tina opened the door and saw the maid, but she found the maid was a stranger. "Who are you?" The maid bowed her head and replied timidly, "I'm the new maid…" Tina then remembered that Samuel had dismissed most of the maids yesterday, except Lynne. But Tina didn't expect the new maids to be here so soon. "Is breakfast ready? I'll change my clothes. Then I'll be downstairs soon." Tina said. "Okay." The maid then left. After a good night's sleep, Tina was refreshed. She changed out of her pajamas, fixed her hair, and made her way to the dining room. Samuel was sitting at the top seat of the dining table. Keith was sitting next to him. The little boy looked exactly like a smaller version of Samuel. The two were indeed father and son. They both had grim faces. They lo
Chapter 445 Keith's little face suddenly turned serious. "What if I don't eat it?" His voice was young, but he looked overwhelming and was very much like Samuel. Samuel's tone was still indifferent. "You can try." Unexpectedly, they were contending with each other. The new servants dared not say anything and wanted to bury themselves in the ground. Tina sat right between them and felt the pressure. Fearing that Samuel and Keith would quarrel or have a cold war, she took a deep breath and could not help saying, "Uh, can I say something?" As soon as she opened her mouth, Samuel’s gaze and Keith’s gaze both fell on her. "Say it!" Samuel's tone was slightly cold. "Well, I think he doesn't want to eat overcooked omelet, and children have a better sense of taste than adults. Black pepper does taste a little spicy, so it's normal for him not to like it..." Samuel frowned. "Are you speaking for him?" "I'm just explaining the problem from the perspective of a child. That’s simply a
Chapter 446Samuel's gaze became sharp. "Have you made up your mind?"Tina screwed up her courage and said, "I still want Kara to return to my side..."Samuel's face clouded over suddenly. He turned around and left.She had anticipated his reaction and pulled his hand anxiously."Please listen to me..."However, Samuel was stronger than her and shook her hand away easily.She was petite and unable to block his way. She made a dive for his arm and hugged it tightly to stop him."Please don't leave and listen to my explanation!""I don't mean to leave you. I just want Kara to return to my side. I don't mean to defy you and seize the chance to escape either. I'm worried about her...""Is that so?"Samuel felt disturbed because of her persistence and stopped.He looked down at her coldly and sneered impatiently, "When you hid beside John with your daughter, your attitude was not like that."She knew that he still didn't believe her.She bit her lip. "What I have said this tim
Chapter 447Tina raised her little face with tears in her blurry eyes.She looked very fragile like an injured rabbit shivering in the snow.No matter how ruthless the hunter was, he would feel pity and want to protect her.Samuel's Adam's apple rolled up and down.He had to admit that she become more feminine and charming now. Five years ago, she had been immature and pure.Moreover, she was clinging to his arm tightly and pressing her body against his.Maybe she didn't realize how dangerous this move was. Or maybe she was acting and deliberately seducing him...However, Samuel remained calm despite her intimacy and said, "No way." Hearing his cold words, Tina trembled with frustration.If she had not leaned on his body now, she would probably fall to the ground.Seeing her become so distressed because of another man’s child, Samuel felt very irritated.Moreover, she had a good relationship with John.Samuel would never forget her reliance on John and the frightened look o
Chapter 448Hearing Samuel's words, Tina thought that she had had a hallucination or heard it wrong.Would he be so kind?But despite the desperate situation, she still held the last glimmer of hope and turned to look at him, hoping he would give herself an affirmative answer...Samuel gritted his teeth because he hadn’t expected that he would say such stupid words on the spur of the moment.Tina still had a great influence on his mood.However, he was a man of his words, so he said, "I don’t want to repeat my words. Since you've heard it, you know what I mean. But although there is still a chance, I can’t guarantee you can get your daughter back for sure. After all, she is not only your daughter but also John's. She is the Duke's great-granddaughter, and the Duke definitely wants to let his blood grow up by his side. What’s more, he is very fond of her. If I help you snatch her back, I will offend the Duke, and it may do harm to the Langford Group..."The fire of hope in Tina's
Chapter 449Tina became startled. She came back to her senses suddenly and looked in the direction that the voice came from.She and Samuel were standing not far from the gate.But the woman appearing outside the gate was Cindy, who was glaring at Kara and Samuel with hatred...Finally, Tina noticed that Cindy was standing outside that gate.When Tina realized that she was still being held in Samuel's arms, she pushed him away without hesitation.Whether it was because of the presence of others or because of the sudden appearance of Cindy, Mrs. Langford, Tina didn’t want them to see her and Samuel this way."Cindy has come here. I'm going to rest."Tina knew what she should do.Since Cindy came here, she must have something to talk about to Samuel. And there was no need for Tina to stay and be humiliated by this couple.Besides, what had happened today was really absurd, not only because Kara became John's daughter somehow, the child of the Smith family, but also because of w
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
