Chapter 47 “Tina, do you want to die?” Samuel threatened.
“I-I’m just looking out for you!” Tina ran out of words and ended up blurting out, “You’re in love with her, right?”.
Samuel heaved in a deep breath. He had a strong urge to punch her in the face.
“Get out, now.”
Tina immediately got up. “Alright.” The moment she stepped outside the car, Samuel stopped her. “Wait, come back here.” Tina was frustrated. “What do you want me to do?!”
Samuel shot her an annoyed glare. “You’re coming back home with me. Also, don’t forget to visit Grandma tomorrow.”
Tina had a strong emotional attachment to Madam Langford, so she instantly agreed.“ Alright, I’ll follow you.” Samuel drove her home personally. The entire journey, none spoke a single word. Silence reigned all the way.
Finally, they arrived at Samuel’s private residence. Tina thought that Samuel would leave her behind and go inside. Unexpectedly, he grabbed her wrist roughly and grunted in displeasure, “I’ll show you to your room.”
“What?” Tina was stunned.
Samuel frowned. “What are you thinking? From now on, you’ll be sleeping in the guest room. If you catch a cold again, Grandma will think that I’m forcing you to sleep on the sofa.”
“Okay,” Tina obliged. Looking at her innocent expression, Samuel’s mood went for the worse. ‘What’s she thinking about now? Half of the time, I can’t tell if she’s straight-up lying to my face or if she’s
showing me her true intentions.’
Tina’s room was opposite Samuel’s. After she entered her new room, she showered and changed into a clean set of clothes. Then, she jumped into bed and slept through the entire afternoon. The next thing she knew, she woke up from hunger at night.
Noticing there weren’t many helpers at his house, Tina wondered who prepared Samuel’s meals every day. But even if they did prepare something for him, she knew for a fact that they wouldn’t prepare hers. She opened the bedroom door and found the kitchen almost immediately.
Fortunately, there were a lot of ingredients in the fridge. After selecting a few, she started preparing dinner.
In the brightly lit kitchen, Tina shuffled from place to place, as if trying to search for something What Tina didn’t know was that Samuel was standing outside the kitchen, watching her every move.
Unfamiliar with the layout of the kitchen, she scanned the place and finally found the condiments section. It was located on the shelf just above her.
She stood on her toes and tried to reach for the items up there, but to no avail. So, she grabbed a stool and stepped on it.
Most of the condiments inside were imported goods, and the labels were written in a foreign language.
After searching through the shelf, she finally found something that she was familiar with: soy sauce. The moment she closed the shelf, the glass reflected the surroundings behind her.
To Tina’s horror, someone was standing just outside the kitchen door! The stool wobbled unsteadily as she jumped in shock. Seeing that she was about to fall, Samuel rushed forward and pulled her into his arms.
He was disgusted. “Why are you so clumsy?”
——
“You scared me! Why are you sneaking around behind me?” Tina’s soul almost fled out of her body from the shock. She thought he was a ghost! “Me? Sneaking around? This is my house!” Samuel barked back, furious. Only then did Tina remember that she was currently living under his roof. Embarrassed , she lowered her head and asked politely, “Have you had dinner? I’ve prepared some food.”
Even though Samuel had left the office early that day, he had spent the entire evening looking through documents in the study.
