Chapter 164
Madam Langford looked at Samuel, who was standing far away, before shifting her gaze to Tina, who sat next to her.
She whispered to Tina, “How was your sleep last night?” “It was all right,” Tina replied.
“That’s not what I meant. I was asking… How did both of you sleep last night?” Madam Langford rephrased her question.
Tina was confused by the question. “It was fine…
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly realized the true meaning behind Madam Langford’s question. Her face was instantly colored a brilliant shade of red.
“How was it?” the elderly woman pressed with a smile. “When will I receive good news from you two about my great-grandson?” Tina was stunned to hear the question. She instinctively thought of her womb, where a baby was being nurtured there.
Madam Langford continued, “Don’t blame me for being anxious. I know I won’t live for much longer. I just want to see both of you living happily ever after before I die.”
“Grandma, please don’t say such unpleasant things,” Tina protested unhappily.
The elderly woman decided to go along with Tina. “Fine, I won’t say anything like that. My dear granddaughter-in-law is mad at me for speaking like that, after all. I won’t do that in the
future.”
The pair started talking about other things. However, Tina found it difficult to concentrate on the conversation.
The doctor did mention that Madam Langford only had half a year to live, which meant she didn’t have much time left.
No matter how secretive the doctor was when it came to concealing the truth from his patient to avoid worsening her condition, Madam Langford must have sensed that she didn’t have long to live.
Her final wish was not only to see Tina and Samuel getting married, but also to watch them form their own family and produce the next heir of the Langford family.
If Tina wasn’t pregnant at all, then there was nothing she could do about that wish. She couldn’t summon a baby out of nowhere, could she?
Unbeknownst to the old lady, there was a baby currently growing inside Tina. It was bad enough that Tina kept her pregnancy a secret from Samuel. Would she really be that heartless to conceal the news from Madam Langford for the rest of the latter’s limited life?
Tina was still thinking about the dilemma even after leaving Madam Langford’s courtyard.
After breakfast, she snuck a peek at Samuel, who was seated next to her. He was currently
reading the documents that Sandy had sent over, already looking quite busy with work.
For some reason, he was able to sense Tina’s gaze on him. He listed his head and asked,” What’s wrong?”
Tina was surprised by his sudden question. All she did was sneak a peek at him. How did he know that she was looking at him?
“I… I…” Tina started stammering. “I was just curious. Today’s not a weekend, after all, Aren’t you going to the company?” Samuel replied lightly, “I’ll be staying in the manor during this period of time. It’ll be considered as a form of vacation for me.”
Tina could make out his hidden meaning. The reason he chose to stay in the manor was not because he wanted to spend time with her. He wanted to be there for Madam Langford during her last moments in life.
“Do you care about what Grandma thinks?” Tina asked again.
Samuel frowned instinctively before replying coldly, “Of course. Otherwise, why would I marry you?” When Tina heard his response, she choked on air for a moment. What he said made sense; if it wasn’t for him being filial, he wouldn’t have dumped Cindy and married a woman he hated,
That was why, if he ever found out that she was pregnant…
He would choose to keep the baby because of Madam Langford’s wishes, right? After all, the elderly woman wanted nothing more than to welcome the birth of a Langford baby into this world.
Once Tina noticed that Samuel had returned to his documents, she quickly made up her mind. She didn’t want Madam Langford to leave the world with any regrets. Besides, she also wanted to give birth to her baby.
Thus, she needed to let Samuel know about her pregnancy. Tina took a deep breath and said seriously, “Samuel, I’d like to tell you something.”
