I can’t tell him that I want to be with him, can I?
“Samuel, actually, I want to be your… sister.” Ashley squeezed her fingers as she went on, “I’m the only child. I want a… brother.”
“No. It’s either money or something else. I won’t agree to have such an ambiguous relationship with you,” Samuel replied flatly.
Ashley froze.
Why is this different from what I thought?
Samuel looked at her indifferently. “Do you still want to see the doctor?”
“I’ll go by myself.” After a pause, Ashley added hesitantly, “Samuel, how about this? Treat it as a favor you owe me. I’ll come to you when I have the need to in the future. Is that okay?”
“Okay.”
That’s great!
“I hope you’ll have your mind made up when you come to me,” Samuel added before closing the car door and instructing the driver to drive.
Biting her lip, Ashley watched him leave.
I didn’t expect him to be so unyielding, but it’s okay. I have other ways.
Kathleen woke up early the next day.
After she went downstairs, she saw Samuel sitting in the living room, and there was food on the table.
“How did you come in?” Kathleen was surprised.
“With key. Desi gave it to me,” explained Samuel.
Kathleen recalled that she had indeed given Desiree the key to her house when the latter lived here.
Kathleen did not expect Desiree would give the key to Samuel.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Kathleen frowned.
“I want you to sleep a little longer,” Samuel replied.
She went over to sit next to him. “I know all the ins and outs. How’s Miley doing?”
