Chapter 38
Deep down, Tina was moved and grateful towards Madam Langford‘s kindness. It only took one meeting for the old lady to be so emotionally invested in Tina.
When they arrived at the hospital ward, Madam Langford was already waiting anxiously for their arrival. She held Tina‘s hand and caressed them gently, concern in her gaze.
“Are you okay? You‘re not hurt anywhere, are you?”
“Don‘t worry, Mrs. Langford, I‘m alright,” Tina joked. “I saw a fight on the road, so the police wanted me to make a statement at the police station. I didn‘t tell you on the phone because I didn‘t want you to worry.”
“Are you telling me the truth?” Madam Langford found it difficult to believe
.
Tina‘s story. She threw a skeptical glance at Samuel and pursed her lips. “Did he make things difficult for you in any way?
Tell me everything!”
“I‘m telling the truth. Look, there are no injuries on me at all!”
Tina ws lying. She wanted Madam Langford to have peace of mind, so the truth couldn‘t be divulged.
“Since I‘m already here, why don‘t I make you some supper?”
“Sure!” Madam Langford was delighted.“ Last time when you made me something to eat, Samuel also tasted some of your food. He even praised your culinary skills!”
“Really?”
Tina was shocked. She wondered if she had heard wrongly. Then again, Samuel must‘ve said that to please his grandmother.

While Tina busied herself in the kitchen, Madam Langford turned to Samuel with a stern expression.
“Samuel, I‘ve already decided that she will be my future granddaughter–in–law. As long as I‘m alive, nobody is allowed to make things difficult for her.”
Samuel was confused. “Grandma, what did Tina do to make you so in love with her?”
“I may be old, but I’m not blind. I can see that Tina suits you best. You must treat her well, alright?”
Samuel had no choice but to oblige.
Right at this moment, Tina emerged with a steaming pot of supper.
“Madam, I made porridge from the ingredients you have in the kitchen. Let me know how it tastes.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Madam Langford ate a spoonful of

porridge and said happily, “It‘s been a long time since I had porridge as good as this one. Samuel, taste this!”
Samuel frowned. It was obvious he wasn‘t interested in something as ordinary as porridge.
Noticing his disgusted expression, Tina hurriedly said, “I‘ll go to the kitchen to take out two bowls. I‘m hungry, too.”
She reached out to take the bowl, but Samuel stopped her by grabbing her hand.
“I‘ll eat that.”
“Alright,” Tina retracted her hands.
The moment he tasted the porridge, he was pleasantly surprised.
He didn‘t expect Tina to have such good culinary skills. Even though it was just plain porridge, it was still rich in flavor.
“How is it?” she asked expectantly.
Samuel replied coldly, “It‘s nothing exceptional.”
Tina wasn‘t dispirited at all. After all, how could the Tyrant of Freesia be impressed by a bowl of plain old porridge when he was used to eating expensive food?
Thus, she ignored Samuel‘s remark and started chatting with Madam Langford instead
It was definitely an unusual sight to see Madam Langford, who was usually stern
and reserved, laughing and chatting merrily. She had completely warmed up to
Tina in just a short span of thirty minutes.
Looking at the heart–warming scene, Samuel had to admit: despite Tina‘s scheming nature, only she could make his grandmother smile like that.
Around midnight, Tina and Samuel prepared to leave.
Madam Langford gave Samuel a timely reminder. “Samuel, don‘t forget what I
said.”
Tina soon left the hospital with Samuel. When she was in the back seat, she yawned and fell asleep.
She didn‘t know how long had passed before she woke up. Having risen, she paid attention to the scenery outside the windows.
This place looks oddly familiar. I think it‘s Samuel‘s private residence,‘ she thought.
“Mr. Langford, what do you mean by bringing me here?” Tina asked.
