Chapter 275
Chapter 275 Tina knew that it wasn‘t her stomach that grumbled. She glanced at Keith and asked, “Are you hungry?” Embarrassment replaced the previously cold and aloof expression on Samuel‘s tiny doppelganger. “It wasn‘t me!” Keith quickly refuted with a reddened face. His retaliation made him look like a normal five–year–old in Tina‘s eyes.
She did her best to stifle her giggles as she replied, “Alright, you didn‘t make that noise. I was the one who got hungry. Since your fever just went down and you‘re still sick, why don‘t you have a simple and light meal? I‘ll cook some food for you.”
Keith maintained his deadpan stubbornness as he replied, “I don‘t need it...”
Grumble!
His stomach chose to protest angrily against his staunch denial.
“Are you sure you don‘t want any food?” Tina’s tone was very caring. “I think you‘ll need it. Are you sure you don‘t want to eat something, Young Master Keith?”
At that time, Keith could feel his pride crumbling into dust. If there was a hole in front of him right now, he would gladly dive into it.
“Fine! Hurry up and bring me a bowl of food!” After that, the boy clutched his stomach and ran upstairs. He was afraid that the longer he remained in the room, the more embarrassed he would become thanks to his grumbling stomach.
Once Keith was no longer in her line of sight, Tina finally allowed herself to laugh loudly. She quickly tidied up her room before hurrying toward the kitchen.
However, she didn‘t know that Samuel had been standing behind a corner a short distance away the whole time. Having witnessed everything, he now had a strange expression on his
face.
His subordinate said to him, “Mr. Langford, sir. After investigating for a long time, we finally discovered a picture of Linda before she went through plastic surgery.”
Samuel had ordered his men to investigate Linda‘s background out of a whim. If his subordinates were unable to come up with any important information, he would just let it go.
Now that this particular woman lived in his mansion and shared a close relationship with his own son, Samuel couldn‘t help but pay more attention to what his men had to say about the designer. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Despite having seen her face, he still couldn‘t ascertain if she was there without any hidden motives.
The subordinate passed some documents over to his master. There was a passport picture of
Linda attached to the documents that was taken five years ago when she was applying for a French passport in Paris. Samuel‘s cold gaze fell on the picture. The woman in the picture looked like a plain Jane with dull skin.
The information written on the documents depicted that Linda stuck out like a sore thumb in the Parisian fashion world, particularly due to her plain looks in an industry filled with good looking models. That revelation made her insecure, so she wanted to rely on plastic surgery to make herself artificially beautiful.
However, she didn’t expect that her surgery would fail. Hence, she never revealed her face in public since then.
Samuel stared blankly at the blurry picture. Now that Linda‘s face was completely exposed, all suspicions he had of her dissipated on the spot. Yet for some reason, he found himself feeling quite
disappointed. “Is there anything else, Mr. Langford?” the subordinate asked anxiously. “No.” Samuel threw the documents aside.
He seemed to have remembered something because he added coldly, “By the way, the duke will be hosting a birthday banquet for his youngest son next week, so I need brand new designs of formalwear. Cindy, Keith, and I will be attending that banquet. Tell Linda to send the designs to my study by tomorrow night.”
