Chapter 233


    Where would Kara go if Tina disappeared? If Frederick knew about what happened to her, would he take


    care of Kara for her?


    Right then, someone called out to Samuel in a coy and flirtatious tone, “Samuel!”

    Samuel turned and frowned. When he spoke, his voice reflected intense displeasure.


    “Why are you here?”


    Cindy looked sad and wronged as she wailed, “Samuel, I’m just worried about you! It’s alreadyte at


    night, and it’s freezing out here.” Noticing that Samuel looked angry, Cindy hurriedly exined further,


    “Besides, I can’t stay here any longer. I’m really worried about Keith. He’s been missing for days, and we


    still


    couldn’t find him. What if something bad happened to him? As a mother, I can’t breathe when I think


    about this.”


    While she spoke, sorrowful tears streamed down her face.


    Samuel frowned. It didn’t seem like Cindy was faking it. After all, Keith was her biological son. As a


    mother, it was only natural for her to worry about his safety.


    “Keith’s a smart boy. I’m sure he knows how to take care of himself. Besides, the reason I brought you


    here is to let him know that you’ve returned to my side. I’m sure he’ll show himself up sooner orter.”


    “Really?” Cindy wiped off her tears and said excitedly, “Then, let’s return to the banquet. Let’s walk


    around together so that Keith will notice us ande back as soon as possible.”


    Samuel didn’t reply. Instead, his gaze swept around the ce.


    There was nobody in the backyard.


    Perhaps, he had seen it wrongly.


    “Samuel, what are you looking for?” Cindy asked curiously.


    “It’s nothing,” Samuel looked at the bushes onest time and said, “Let’s go.”


    “Alright.” Cindy smiled brightly as she attempted to wrap her arm around Samuel’s.


    However, Samuel walked past her and rejected her gesture coldly.


    Cindy gritted her teeth and thought angrily, ‘It’s alright! As long as I’m the only woman around him, I still


    have a chance to win his heart.’


    After they left, Tina shifted ufortably in the bush.Her head popped out from the leaves.


    She smiled, relieved. “That’s a close call!’


    Her gown was destroyed by the twigs and branches around her, and she had sprained her knee from


    tripping on her heels just now. On top of that, her legs had grown numb from squatting


    in the bushes for so long. At this moment, she looked unkempt and haggard. Worried that the two viins


    would return, she didn’t think twice before limping her way toward the back door.


    Tina returned to her apartment. When she entered the door, relief engulfed her as she slumped to the


    ground. “Tina, you’re back!” Frederick’s voice rang from inside.


    Since Tina had to attend the fashion banquet tonight, Frederick was here to take care of Kara and Keith


    He heard the door clicking shut and walked toward the living room. The moment he saw Tina’s


    appearance, he became concerned. “Tina… What happened to you?” he asked, worried. Tina was still


    shivering at the thought of what just happened. “Frederick, I saw him at the banquet.” The only person


    who could frighten Tina like that was Samuel Langford. “What?” Frederick’splexion changed


    instantly. “Did he see you?”


    Tina bit her lip and shook her head. “No, he didn’t! If he did, I wouldn’t havee back alive!”


    “That’s good!” Frederick heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he said worriedly, “Why don’t we change our


    schedule? I’ll send Kara and Keith to school. As long as you don’t show yourself to the public, I don’t


    think he will spot you.” Tina nodded, agreeing “We’re left with no other choice.” Since Tina was back,


    Frederick didn’t stay any longer and left the house.
