Chapter 228
When Keith was done speaking, he tidied himself up before heading toward the mansion nervously
“Goodbye, Keith!” Kara waved at him.
Tina felt rather sorrowful as she watched the little boy disappearing into the horizon. Once she finally saw him entering the mansion without a hitch, she turned the car around and left.
Keith knocked on the mansion’s front door.
A moment later, the door was opened from the inside. A woman’s eager voice drifted from within the mansion.
“Didn’t you say you’ll fetch me in the morning? Why are you here this early? Could it be that Samuel changed his mind?” It was already midnight, but Cindy showed up at the doorway in fancy clothes and heavy makeup plastered all over her face. However, her expression changed drastically the moment she noticed the boy standing outside the door. “Whose brat is this? Are you here to disturb me? Go away! Don’t bother me!”
Just as Cindy was about to slam the door in Keith’s face, he yelled, “Mommy!”
The woman was shocked when she heard the word. Immediately after that, she finally looked at Keith’s face, which she found to be very familiar.
The little boy in front of her looked exactly like Samuel when he was a child. It was as if a miniature Samuel was standing there right now.
“You’re…”
“Mommy, it’s me! I’m Keith!” the little boy interjected.
“Oh my god! Are you really Keith? I missed you so much! Why are you here on your own? Wait, how could Samuel let you come here all by yourself? Did he send you here to fetch me?”
Overcome with euphoria, Cindy grabbed Keith’s hand tightly.
“Has Samuel finally changed his mind and decided to forgive me? That’s great news! I can finally become the true mistress of the Langford family!” Cindy’s strong grip hurt Keith’s hand very much, but the latter didn’t say anything about it. Instead, he explained seriously, “Mommy, Daddy isn’t here. I’m here to take you away. Please leave with me!”
“What? Samuel isn’t here? That’s fine. He must be busy. Let’s go. We’ll go find him together!”
“No! That’s not it, Mommy!” Keith continued explaining, “That man has imprisoned you for so many years, and refused to let me see you! That’s why I escaped from him! Mommy, I want to rescue you from this
prison! Let’s run away together!”
His tiny face was filled with determination.
However, Cindy didn’t look as excited as he had initially expected. Instead, her expression crumbled on the spot.
“What? Are you trying to say that you came here on your own because you don’t want Samuel to pick me up?” “No,” Keith replied. “Mommy, let’s go! Otherwise, I won’t have a chance to see you ever again once you’re taken away tomorrow morning!” Keith grabbed Cindy’s wrist and tried to drag her out of the mansion, but the latter refused to budge.

“You want me to leave with you? As if I’ll do that!” she shrieked, her shrill tone piercing the ears. “I’ll never leave Samuel’s side! You must be trying to separate us, right? I won’t let you do as you please!” ‘This little boy is definitely that b*tch Tina’s spawn! He’s already this evil at such a young age!
At that very moment, Keith was stunned. He didn’t expect his mommy to glare at him in disgust and disdain. It was as if he wasn’t her biological son at all. “Mommy! If we don’t leave now, we won’t make it!” Slap! Cindy didn’t hesitate to give Keith a heavy slap on the cheek. The poor five-year-old could only collapse to the ground, unable to withstand the force behind the slap. Despite witnessing the child’s collapse, Cindy remained unmoved. Instead, she started attacking him with poisonous words. “You shameless brat! Not only did you refuse to plead to Samuel for my sake, but you also want me to leave this place? I’m going to tell him all about it and have him take you away!”
