“You’re welcome,” Celeste said.

She waved her hand and watched as Julian and Samuel left her apartment,
The unit soon felt empty, leaving Celeste in a daze. She shook her head, wondering what had come over her. She couldn’t possibly be missing a kid she had just met that day. She thought that it was perhaps because Samuel was just too adorable.
Night tell, and a sleek Maybach drove through the streets, its headlights shining in the darkness. The atmosphere inside the car was tense.
Samuel tumed his head away stubbornly, refusing in even glance at Julian
Julian rubbed his temples in frustration but decided not to bother with him. He felt that the family had spoiled Samuel and thought that someone needed to set him straight.
The car eventually pulled up to their home.
Samuel scrambled out when the door opened and dashed into the house, gnoring the greetings from the household staff and butler. He headed straight to his Toom and slammed the door shut.
Moments later, the sound of things being thrown around and glass shattering was heard
The butler, Bill Jefferson, listened from outside in shock me quickly looked for julian and asked, “Mr. Ford, what happened to Mr. Samuel? He’s locked himself in The room and is throwing a fit. I’m worried he might hurt himself.”
plain’s face darkened before saying “Don’t bother with him.”
Bill was the butler and couldn’t bring himself to igunge Sammel. Henry and lus wife, Mariana Quinton, dated on Samuel as though he were a precious treasure. If Samuel got hurt, they would make a big iss, and julian would be the one to deal with the mess in the end.
“Mr. Ford, you should check on him. He’s still a child, and it’s normal for bom to throw tantrums. Talk to him. He’ll listen
Julian pinched his brows and went to knock on the door.
“Samuel, how long are you planning to keep this up?
There were more crashing sounds and then a calot Huff, Julian and Bill were at a loss for what to do. Finally, Julian lost his patience and lacked down the door. Samuel was on the ground with a bleeding finger Blut turned pale and immediately called for the household statt.
“Quidd on the first aid ide! –
Julian stepped over the mess and scooped Saniel up.
His eyes were filled with anger and frostration as he asked, “Happy now?
Samuel looked up and pleaded, “I want Ms. Hart
Julian frowned. “No! It’s lace.”
Samuel began to single in his father’s arms
“Then I don’t want the band–aid. Let me go! Thate you, Dad!”
Julian was at his wit’s end. He tried to ask calmly, “Why do you like her so much? You’ve only known far for a day!”
“I just do! She feels like Mom!” Samuel’s eyes brimmed with tears, and his expression was heabrealding
Julian froze, and his anger gradually subsided. He had always thought Samuel was different from other children and that he wouldn’t year for a mother.
Mariana had tried to set Julian up with other women from their circle, hoping to form a family, but Samuel never liked any of them.
However, he was now attached to a woman he’d known for less than a day because she felt like las mother, jullan was filled with mixed emotions. He didn’t even know much about

“Let’s look after your bleeding finger and discuss it later.”
“I want to see Ms. Hart after,” Samuel insisted.
“It’s very late, Julian said, trying to reason with him.
Tears rolled down Samuel’s cheeks, and he cried, “I don’t want to see you, Dad! Leave!”
Bill was very concrmed about the situation. He quickly tervehted, saying, “Mr. Food, just let him do it. It we don’t tend to the wound soon, he might lose a lot of blood.”

Celeste was overjoyed and quickly took Samuel in her arms.
“It’s no big deal.”
Julian smirked and said, “Great!”
Then, he casually sat down on the sofa. Celeste was slightly taken aback. She didn’t expect that he would also be staying
“Mr. Ford..”
“Yes?” Julian looked at her nonchalantly and said, “I see you don’t have a guest room. I can sleep on t
on the sofa.
Celeste was dumbfounded that he was planning to sleep on the sata. She didn’t think he seriously wanted to stay
Julian noticed the change in her expression and sensed that she wasn’t happy with his suggestion. Countless women in Dansburg would die to climb into bed with him and get close to the Ford family. This was the first time he’d met someone like her, and he found it rather amusing.
However, he dida’t say anything. He merely smiled and asked, “Is there a problem?*| |
“Not really. But the sofa is quite small. You wouldn’t be comfortable sleeping there. You could just go home and pick Samuel up in the morning instead!”
Celeste thought there was no need for him to stay. She was a single woman, and it would ruin her reputation if people discovered she had spent the night with a

“I don’t think it’d be uncomfortable. But I wouldn’t mind if you shared your bed with me.”
