Chapter 276 Even though Samuel disliked Linda, he was used to separating his private feelings from work matters. Since Linda had an innate talent for designing, he didn‘t plan to chase her out of the mansion.
“Understood,” the subordinate replied. At that time, Tina had no idea what Samuel had in store for her. She prepared some food in the kitchen and took a serving tray up to Keith‘s room before knocking on his door.
“I‘ve set the food aside earlier, so it‘s warm now. Hurry and eat it. It won‘t taste good once it gets cold,” she said as she set the bowl on the bedside table. If it wasn‘t for Keith‘s tough personality, she would have insisted on feeding him. The boy‘s expression became increasingly complicated before he asked, “I‘m not your real son. Why are you being so nice to me?” Tina was stunned to hear that question. “Why are you asking me that?” “Why? Isn‘t this obvious?” Keith continued. “The reason why those servants treated me nicely is because they‘re afraid of my father‘s reputation. When I was severely ill and was on the verge of death, they didn‘t dare to disobey Cindy‘s orders at all. You were the only one who wanted to take me to the hospital and ignore her orders. Even though you didn‘t succeed in the end, you still didn‘t give up and ended up taking care of me throughout the night. After that, you continued working till morning.” He asked, “Typically speaking, you should hate me because I‘m the son of the woman who harasses you non–stop. Why are you being so nice to me?”
Confusion and suspicion filled Keith‘s eyes at that time. Tina, on the other hand, was completely flabbergasted at his words. What on earth was that five–year–old thinking this whole time?
She couldn‘t help but place a hand on Keith‘s forehead. “Is your fever not gone yet? Why else are you mumbling nonsense?”
Keith was severely germaphobic. He rarely interacted with Samuel, let alone with anyone else.
Upon seeing how much Tina cared for him at the moment, he didn‘t slap her hand away coldly. Instead, he tolerated her gesture.
He replied, “I‘m not feverish. In fact, I‘m perfectly sober right now. Am I wrong for saying all that?”
“Well, you do make sense. Then again, making sense is just one thing. You‘re still an adorable five– year–old at the end of the day. Anyone else would have done the same thing as I did.” “Is that so?”.
Keith lifted an eyebrow immediately. The way he suspected Tina made him look exactly like Samuel.
. “Have you forgotten how those servants stopped you before?”
“They didn‘t have a choice. After all, they didn‘t want to invite trouble to their doorstep.” “Then why were you the only one who wasn‘t scared of trouble?” Tina was completely speechless.
That d*mned brat! Her act of kindness was just a very simple thing, yet he insisted on grilling her with so many questions! “That‘s because I‘m a kind soul!” Tina replied shamelessly. “A beautiful and kind– hearted woman like me is a rare commodity in this world! You should appreciate me more, you know? Also, if you don‘t eat your food soon, you‘ll die of starvation!”
“But...”
“If you don‘t eat it right now, I‘ll tell everyone that your stomach keeps growling loudly! Then everyone in the Langford manor will know about this embarrassing side of yours!”
Tina‘s threat was very useful in this situation. Not only was Keith cold, aloof, and mean, but he was also very mindful of his reputation and pride due to his young age. He didn‘t dare to refute her upon hearing the threat, so he could only pick up the bowl and start eating the food slowly. At that moment, someone knocked on the door loudly.

Tina was surprised to hear someone calling her name. She turned around and asked, “Who are
you?”
Keith snuck one glance at the door before rolling his eyes. “Who else can he be? He must be one of Samuel‘s subordinates, here to pass on a message to you.” The subordinate said, “Linda, the Langford family will be attending a banquet next week. You are to design formalwear for them. Mr. Langford wants you to start working on the designs right now and send the drafts personally to his study by tomorrow.” Panic seized Tina‘s heart the moment she heard the instructions. “I have to personally send the designs to him?!”
