Pampered Wedding Marry Me, Mr. Langford

Chapter 13

Tina did a double take and kept watching, but Samuel did not push that woman away.

Weren’t rumors insistent that the famous Tyrant of Freesia didn’t like women?

Who was that, then?

As a matter of fact, Tina stopped in her tracks just as she was about to rush out to Samuel.

She had come to ask for money, but he seemed to be dating another woman…

And judging from how he was behaving, recklessly intruding would not get her the money—she might just be cut into little pieces for ruining the mood!

Maybe she could follow them quietly, and ask Samuel after their date?

While Tina was left in a dilemma at a corner, Samuel had his back to her, frowning as he watched Cindy, who launched herself into his arms.

He had never liked women, and felt disgusted even though he was being intimate with Cindy, whom he had always seen as his younger sister…

“Are you done? Let go,” he said coolly.

“Oh, Sam!” Knowing her cue, Cindy pulled away and continued in her tender voice, “You must be tired after working all day, right? Shall I cook something for you?”

“Not hungry.” Samuel refused—Mama Langford was keen to have Cindy marry him, but he felt nothing towards her, and didn’t want to give them too much hope.

“That won’t do. You have to eat even if you’re not feeling hungry,” Cindy said charmingly. “I saved your life, Sam. How could you not cherish your body?”

Samuel’s cold heart stirred ever so slightly.

Ten years ago, when he was still a child, he was abducted in a conspiracy to get back at his family.

He was wounded grievously, and his consciousness was muddled after catching a high fever.

Even so, he remembered that she had persevered and carried him on her little back, traversing a mountain to escape. Then, finally reaching somewhere with people, she had managed to contact the Langfords…

When he regained consciousness, Samuel had asked his family to find the girl who saved him.

And that girl was Cindy.

Back in the present, Cindy quickly pressed her advantage upon seeing the expression on Samuel’s face easing. “You’re worried about your mother’s plan, right? Don’t worry—I know you’ve always thought of me as your younger sister, but I don’t care about that!”

Indeed, Mama Langford was very satisfied with Cindy and had always wanted her to marry Samuel.

For some reason, Cindy’s delicate and tender nature made Samuel remember another woman… She appeared harmless, and yet she was unyieldingly obstinate, fighting back like a bristling wild kitten swinging its razor-sharp claws.

Samuel brow furrowed. Damn it, why was he remembering that woman?

If he had never looked into the matter, he would never have uncovered her dirty laundry, and that everything about her was just an act!

Cindy’s heart skipped a beat just then. Under the impression that she had angered Samuel, she quickly said, “Are you thinking that I disrespected your mother? Sorry, I didn’t mean it!”

And yet, Samuel said, “You said you were cooking? Let’s go.”

Cindy did a double take as joy erupted within her heart. Samuel had actually agreed to it!

“That’s great! Thank you, Sam!” She grasped Samuel’s hand in excitement, exclaiming, “Shall we go —”

Before she could finish, however, two black-clad bodyguards rushed to the scene and reported, “Mr. Langford! I’m sorry, but we just noticed that Miss Lynd escaped!”

Samuel’s face dropped and promptly shook off Cindy’s hand while he strode forward, seizing one of the bodyguards’ collar and coldly demanding, “What?! Didn’t I tell you two to keep an eye on her?!”

The bodyguard felt his scalp go numb as if death had come for him.

“W-We didn’t expect her to scale the wall! We only found out from the cameras three hours ago…”

The air around Samuel turned icy right then, and the bodyguard felt his knees turn to jelly, almost dropping to his knees to beg for mercy.

“Sam? What’s happening? Who is Miss Lynd?” Cindy asked softly then.

However, she was absolutely aware who ‘Miss Lynd’ was—before she returned to the country, Mama Langford had told her that Samuel had another woman now, that she had shamelessly jumped Samuel and managed to stay with him!

Although Mama Langford had also told her that Tina was just medicine for Samuel’s therapy, Cindy was still worried and hence asked Samuel about it.

“A woman with a death wish!” Samuel growled through gritted teeth, and glanced at the bodyguard. “Why do I bother keeping all of you if you can’t even keep an eye on a woman?!”

“Please, Mr. Langford! Have mercy!” They were all scared witless.

At the same time, Cindy breathed a sigh of relief even as she felt a little smug.

How stupid was that woman? Angering Samuel? She was dead meat!

Still, she quickly tried to intervene. “Sam, you can’t blame them. You can let them make amends and find Miss Lynd before you decide!”

Samuel snapped coldly at that, “I want to see her, dead or alive!”

“Yes, sir!” the bodyguards all quickly replied, and gave Cindy looks of gratitude before they left as if she was an angel in white.

Even so, all Cindy felt was disdain and loftiness. If it wasn’t to maintain her kind and delicate appearance in front of Samuel, she wouldn’t have bothered helping these wretches!

That was when Pearl’s shrill voice shrieked nearby.

“So you were hiding here, Tina Lynd!”

Tina was left dumbstruck. She didn’t expect Pearl to find her in the midst of all this!

She reacted immediately and tried to run, but the bodyguards noticed her too.

“That’s Miss Lynd, sir! She’s right there!”

Tina felt like she could cry from the urgency of the situation.

Dear heavens—what was her crime to be pincered like this?! How did everyone manage to discover her all at once?!

Still, she had no choice but to run.

However, she did not even manage two steps when she slammed into a man’s arms as she turned a corner.

Samuel had seized her with pinpoint precision, holding her tightly in his arms as he coolly growled, “You have the guts to show up here, Tina Lynd?!”

“Listen to me…” Tina tried to speak, only to feel her legs suddenly rise into the air—Samuel had lifted her, and was carrying her over a shoulder!

Tina’s face paled as she tried to struggle and punched him on the back.

“Let me down, Samuel Langford!”

She was absolutely terrified—not just of the height, but also that Samuel would slam her on the floor.

“Shut up! Don’t move!” Samuel snarled sinisterly. “Move again and I’ll cut your legs off!”

Tina became afraid to even fidget right then, and her tears started to roll.

With that, Samuel threw her inside his car. Her head was spinning and she tried to get up and retch when she heard the engine rumble.

Samuel had jammed his foot on the pedal, and sped away with Tina…

Meanwhile, Pearl had her path cut off by the bodyguards before she could catch up to Tina.

It took her considerable effort to leave the alley, and she had only managed to catch a brief glimpse of Tina’s face from the car window.

No way!

Her eyes widened—the car was obviously expensive from a single glance.

So how did Tina manage to get into it?!
