Chapter 575"Why did you do that?" The duke furrowed his brows tightly, deep confusion in his eyes. He couldn't understand why Mrs. Carter slapped Tina’s face! In the Duke's impression of Mrs. Carter, although she was John's stepmother, she was kind to John. She didn't like to get into conflicts with people, let alone slapping others' faces! The duke felt sorry for the slap Tina got. He got a little worried about Tina. "I..." Mrs. Carter also regretted it. She had indeed been too impulsive!She didn’t get rid of Tina but let the duke spot such a scene! However, she soon calmed down. She gritted her teeth and said, "I've lost my mind. I felt indignant for John! And I'm worried about how Kara will be affected..." Mrs. Carter acted as if she was concerned about John, which made sense to the duke. After all, considering the things Tina had done before, anyone would be worried. The duke was an old age. He didn't want to be bothered by these things. He rubbed his
Chapter 576Tina stopped her steps and had a mocking smile. "Mrs. Carter, you sound strange. Why does your apology sound like everything is my fault?" "Besides, it's up to you to apologize or not, while it's up to me to forgive you or not!"Then Tina got into the ward and closed the door behind her. Tina really didn't want to deal with her. Right now, she just wanted to be alone with her daughter. "You...” John's mother's face twisted in anger. However, with the duke present, she could only pretend to wipe her eyes and said, "Mr. Duke, you see? This woman is not easy to get along with. I really don't think Kara should be around her. What example can she be to Kara?" "And I heard that she and Samuel had a falling out because of Cindy. Then she shows up here. I'm afraid that all she wants is our money." "I watched John grow up. Even though I'm not his real mother, I've always treated him as my own son. I can't watch John fall for her tricks!" Mrs. Carter burst into
Chapter 577 Mrs. Carter's heart suddenly jumped. After she had talked so much, was there still nothing she could do about it? Damn it! She secretly cursed and asked, "But what?" The Duke's idea just now was actually to do a paternity test! But thinking about it carefully, he remembered that woman didn't even have a birthmark. How could she be Coco? Besides, there was Kara! According to Kara's paternity test results, everything was normal, and she was very healthy... When he didn't know that the woman was Linda, the Duke had a glimmer of hope. But after all the truth came out, he knew that there was no need for this at all! "Forget it. What I thought just now was too absurd." Thinking of this, the Duke shook his head and sighed helplessly. He finally accepted this reality! Mrs. Carter finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good!" "Oh, how is John doing?" "He’s recovering!" Mrs. Carter said hypocritically, "He was too busy and tense all the time. So he fe
Chapter 578 Kara widened her eyes and said curiously, "Mommy, after they took me away, they insisted that I was Uncle Carter's child. Is that true?!" Hearing her words, Tina suddenly realized something. It seemed that she hadn't seen John for a long time, and she hadn't even heard about him! She became more and more worried in her heart, but she didn't show it in front of Kara, explaining, "Of course not. It was just a misunderstanding!" "Then who is my daddy?" Kara asked. Tina felt helpless. She touched Kara's hair and said, "Your daddy is Samuel!" Kara's eyes widened in disbelief and she said, "What? It’s that big bad guy?" Tina couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Yeah, it's that big bad guy." "No, I don't want to acknowledge him as my daddy. That big bad guy always bullies you. I don't want to acknowledge him at all. I just need to be with you, Mommy!" Kara said, hugging Tina tightly. Tina just felt moved and a little sad. Kara was sensible. If she could,
Chapter 579Tina had a good idea. Once she had seen Duke who was sensible and explained everything to him, she could take Kara away and visit John by the way.However, the answer from Duke's servant directly dismissed her idea."I'm sorry, Miss Lynd. Duke is very busy now. He has gone to another place on business!""What?" Tina didn't expect this. She was shocked and asked, "Did he leave?""Yes.""However," Tina said, "Kara is still here. Isn't he worried?""You're Kara's mother. What's wrong with you? Besides, I'm taking care of her." The servant sighed and said, "Miss Lynd, I know you're in a hurry, but you'd better wait a few days!""Anyway, when Duke left, he didn't stop you from seeing Kara. You can accompany her these days."At this point, Tina could only give up.Tina could not see Duke and visit John. Fortunately, she could stay with her baby daughter."Can I take her out to play?""Of course. However, we will send bodyguards to follow the whole journey, which is for
Chapter 580 When Tina saw Samuel standing outside the hospital gate, her face changed. She hugged Kara and tried to turn away and prepare to take a shortcut through the back door.However, she walked slowly with the baby in her arms. And unlike Samuel, she was not tall and didn't have long legs like Samuel's, so she took two steps and was caught by Tina.Tina got a little angry and said, "Samuel, asshole! Let go of me!" Although she was trying to cut ties with Samuel, why would he not leave her alone?Kara was hostile to Samuel and said, "You're such a bad person! Let go of my mommy!"She said as she grabbed Samuel's hand and bit it!Samuel then frowned and winced.He was on guard against Tina's escape but not against her daughter. And he didn't expect Kara to bite his hand!He thought Kara and Tina were a lot alike!Tina was also startled and immediately shielded Kara. "If you want to get into trouble, come after me. My daughter is also trying to protect me. Don't hit h
Chapter 581Kara was as stubborn and articulate as her mother!However, Tina didn't expect that Samuel would apologize to her.Since he was such an arrogant man, how could he apologize to her? He would only deal with her!Therefore, she said indifferently, "Will you apologize to me? All right. Kara, let's go. We should line up if we go to the amusement park late."Tina was just about to leave with Kara when her wrist was clutched by Samuel.Samuel's palm was large and warm. There was a reassuring smell of tobacco around him.Standing behind Tina, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.As the president of the Langford Group, he was always cold and heartless. However, at this time, he said, "I'm sorry."Hearing his words, Tina couldn't help but feel surprised.'Oh my God. Did I hear it wrong?He apologized to me!'"What did you say?" Tina was so surprised that she couldn't help but ask.Samuel frowned. He had always been arrogant. He often had a stern face even when talki
Chapter 582Tina struggled to break free from Samuel angrily, but she failed.Samuel's arms were so strong that they seemed to be made of steel, and she was unable to rebel against him.He hugged her tightly in his arms and snorted coldly, "What do I want to do? I'm taking my woman back. Do you really think I'll watch you run away with someone else?"‘What?’Tina became stunned!Samuel’s tone was low but overbearing. He even said that she was his woman!Tina's heart couldn't help thumping, and she felt even more frightened.She was afraid that her cheeks would become extremely red if she still stayed in his arms, so she retorted immediately, "What nonsense are you talking about? When do I run away with someone else? I just want to take my daughter to an amusement park!""Really?"Samuel didn't believe her words at all, as in his eyes, Tina was a cunning little fox!‘As long as I let go of her, she will run away without a trace.’ Samuel had had enough of her escape. Sometimes
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
