Tina returned to her room with a haggard appearance and changed her attire. There were several deep scratches on her leg. While she was cleaning her wound, it was so painful that her complexion was pale as a ghost. Due to the severity of her wounds, she would have to limp for a while.
Exhausted, all she wanted to do right now was rest. However, she still had to apologize to Samuel for ruining the birthday surprise.
She walked out of her room and asked tentatively, “Is Mr. Langford back home?”
“He came back two hours ago. Right now, he’s spending time with Madam Langford in the garden.”
The maid said, and sized Tina up rudely.
“Madam Langford said you were supposed to celebrate your birthday with Mr. Langford today. Where did you go? Why are you back so late at night?”
Tina didn’t reply to her question. Instead, she limped towards the garden slowly. Behind her, the maids chuckled. “I think Mr. Langford stood her up!” “You’re right! When she came back home just now, she didn’t even have her shoes on! What does she think she is? Cinderella?”
“What a joke!”
At this point, Tina was already used to people talking behind her back. She tried her best to ignore the snide comments thrown at her.
Finally, she arrived at the garden. Madam Langford was resting, while Samuel was peeling some fruits for her. Looking at the heartwarming scene, Tina’s heart melted. Madam Langford squinted and
squawked, “Who’s there? Is it Tina?” “Yes, that’s me.” Tina showed herself. “Why are you here? Samuel said you’re resting!”
Samuel shot a penetrating glare at Tina, warning her in silence.
Tina held Madam Langford’s hand and said sweetly, “Grandma, I’m here to pay you a visit. I’ve missed you today.”
“I miss you too, darling. The only people who care about me in this entire household are you and Samuel.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Although Madam Langford’s eyesight had deteriorated, she was still aware of Tina’s love for
her.
Tina glanced at Samuel. Noticing that Samuel wasn’t even looking at her, she asked, “Mr.
Langford, I’ll peel the fruits for you.” “Why are you calling him Mr. Langford?” Madam Langford asked. “I mean, Samuel!” Tina hurriedly covered her mouth in shock. Samuel was unfazed, “Grandma, please have some apples.” Madam Langford frowned and stared at the couple squarely. Instantly, suspicion rose inside her.
“Have you guys been fighting? What did you do, Samuel?!” “He didn’t do anything wrong,” Tina quickly explained. “Samuel planned a birthday surprise for me today. I was so happy!” Madam Langford could already sense what was wrong. “What happened during the birthday surprise?” Tina couldn’t hide the facts any longer. She had no choice but to tell Madam Langford that she had never celebrated her birthday before, and that she almost misunderstood Samuel’s intentions.
Madam Langford sighed. She held both Tina’s hands.
“The fact that the two of you can be together as a couple today is truly a blessing. Setbacks like this are bound to happen. Just treat it as a stepping stone and return even stronger. Don’t let a small thing affect your relationship.”
“Also, Samuel! I understand what Tina said might’ve hurt your feelings, but you have to know that she has experienced so much in life. Despite her rough past, she still remains a kind soul. You have to cherish her, okay?” This was the first time Madam Langford spoke so much since she got out of the hospital. Madam Langford joined Samuel and Tina’s hands, and went on. “Although the birthday surprise didn’t go as planned, as long as we are still a family, nothing can stand in our way.” “Tina, make a wish,” Madam Langford said to Tina with a gentle smile.
