Chapter 624 The Duke was about to say that he would recognize Tina as his granddaughter when he was interrupted by someone who suddenly appeared outside the door.Tina was startled and looked back.The person who appeared was the butler, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, something bad happened!""What is it? Why are you so panicked?!" the Duke frowned.The butler immediately glanced at Tina and said euphemistically, "I got a phone call just now, and it's about business..."Since John suddenly became seriously ill and he needed to recuperate, some important decisions about the Duke Mansion required the Duke's consent.The butler whispered in the Duke’s ear for a while.As expected, the Duke's expression became a little more serious, and he looked at Tina, "There is something I may need to deal with in person...""I see!" Tina nodded immediately, knowing that she shouldn't stay any longer, "Then I'll go back?"The Duke waved his hand and said, "There is no rush!""Haven't you seen
Chapter 625"Mrs. Carter? Oh, it's you! I wonder what you came to me for?"Tina asked a little politely. Wearing expensive fur clothing, Mrs. Carter looked very noble. On her well-preserved face, there was a gentle, sunny smile.She walked slowly to Tina and said, "Miss Lynd, I'm here to apologize to you!"Tina instantly froze. "Apologize? What do you mean?""I know I went too far when we were at the hospital. At that time, I misunderstood you, afraid that you would affect John and the child. I even slapped you…"Then Tina knew what she meant. Not only the Duke but also Mrs. Carter had misunderstood her a lot of times. Even so, Mrs. Carter had indeed slapped her back then. Tina said a little indifferently, "Mrs. Carter, you should remember, you've apologized to me before!"Mrs. Carter was stunned at once. "Then you mean you're not going to forgive me?""I haven't said anything like that. I just don't think it's necessary to bring it up again. That's good for both of
Chapter 626Since Mrs. Carter had said so, how could Tina refuse her?"Yeah, of course, we can have dinner together..." But Tina hesitantly asked, "But can we do it on another day? It's not convenient for me today." Mrs. Carter smiled, "You're worried about Samuel, aren't you?" Tina instantly felt embarrassed. She couldn't admit it but replied, "Not because of him. I'm worried about Kara. She'll be home soon. If she can't see me at home, she'll worry about me." Tina was worried about both Samuel and Kara. Mrs. Carter nodded, "OK, I understand." "Then shall we..." Before Tina could finish, Mrs. Carter cut her off and suggested with a smile, "How about this? Shall we invite Samuel and Kara to join us? What do you think?" "It would be perfect. We'd be a family now. And we'll become closer to Samuel in the future. Today is a great opportunity! Let's have dinner together!" "Uh?" Tina froze. 'Invite Samuel to have dinner with Mrs. Carter?' "Come on! You're wi
Chapter 627Tina was surprised that Mrs. Carter would take her phone away from her! Before she regained her senses, Mrs. Carter had already started talking to Samuel. "The Duke invited Tina to dinner at the Carter mansion to express our apologies." "We made a mistake about Kara. After things were clear, The Duke felt he and Tina hit it off very well. He intends to regard Tina as his granddaughter. From now on, we are all family!" "We wanted Tina to stay for dinner. But Tina was concerned about you and the kids. You happened to call, so I was thinking about inviting you to join us for dinner at our home." Before, the Langford Group and the Carter mansion had intended to establish a partnership, but because of Tina and John's illness, the plan was put on hold. Now, Mrs. Carter invited Samuel to dinner at the Carter mansion. Of course, he would not refuse. But Samuel asked, "Is she really concerned about me and the kids?" "Of course!" Mrs. Carter smiled. "The wo
Chapter 628The man next to Mrs. Carter immediately replied, "Madam, it's all done!" Just a few days ago, Cindy sneaked out of the villa. Soon she was found and tied up by Mrs. Carter's men, and then they directly took her to the van. Samuel's men thought that Cindy ran away and disappeared in order not to get divorced. Unexpectedly, Cindy was in Mrs. Carter’s hands, and Mrs. Carter would use Cindy to set up a trap! ‘Now this trap will come in handy soon.’ Thinking of this, Mrs. Carter immediately sneered with satisfaction and said, "Well done! Don't let it go wrong!" However, the man was a little hesitant, "Madam, there's a problem..." Mrs. Carter's face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help yelling, "Problem? At such a critical moment, how dare you tell me there’s a problem?" The man was startled and explained, "Madam, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that!" "Then what do you mean?!" "I mean, in fact, that woman has been locked up in the basement for a few days. She didn'
Chapter 629 Samuel said lightly, "I have already sent someone to pick up the child, and he should be home now." "What do you mean?" Tina was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't we agree to have dinner together as a family?" "It doesn't matter if Keith doesn't come because I know he doesn't like crowded places, but Kara will certainly be worried about me!" As soon as Tina said this, he couldn't help frowning. Samuel was sitting in the car, but his eyes were still extremely sharp. He swept towards Tina, full of dissatisfaction, and his voice was extremely cold, "What is it, a family?" "What, Tina, how long has it been since you left home? Do you really consider yourself a member of the Carter mansion?!" "If I hadn't come over in person, would you have just stayed at the Carter Mansion yourself, leaving me and the child alone?" Tina was furious. In fact, before Samuel came, she had felt a little dazed! She now had a family, and they would even get together for d
Chapter 630Samuel leaned over to Tina, and his masculine scent enveloped Tina, and his warm breath sprayed on her ear. "Of course, I'll... I'll take you home by force!" Samuel threatened, dominance in his tone! Tina was startled, and she felt all her goosebumps rise. Not only because Samuel was leaning so close to her in front of people, but also because of what he said! She hurriedly pushed Samuel away. "You're going to take me back by force? No way!" "Samuel, you're an asshole! You already promised me. Why do you want to take me back by force? You..." Tina was furious. She pounded Samuel's chest repeatedly. However, she was like an ant trying to push a big tree. She couldn't shake Samuel's tall, solid body! Samuel held her tightly in his arms. Listening to Tina's angry words, he sneered, "Heh, Tina! Don't you have no faith in me either?" Then Samuel let go of her. Tina took two steps back. Looking at the mocking smile on his face, she realized what he meant."I... Yo
Chapter 631"You mean you’re really going to make this your home?"The man enunciated and stressed his tone. His sullen face was now filled with playfulness.Tina froze and instantly blushed. 'Ugh!''This is all John's fault. He keeps telling me that they'll back me up if Samuel bullies me.'She had just blurted it out in a moment of desperation."It's not like that. I mean..."The man didn't plan to listen to her explanation at all.He just curled his thin lips."Sounds like you know where your husband's house is. That's sensible of you."With that, Samuel wrapped his arm around Tina's waist and stroked her hair."Let's go!"Tina was not used to such intimacy, and the mention of her parent's house and her husband's house abashed her. She couldn't help but ask, "Where to?""Didn't you say you know where the room is? We should close the door and talk it out in bed."Samuel slightly raised his tone."Or do you think we can do it at any place?"Tina glared at Samuel. She
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
