Chapter 193
Lexi only realized that Samson was gone after a moment.
“Why did Daddy suddenly leave?” Lexi asked.
She was too distracted eating her marshmallow and didn’t notice Samson answering his phone call.
“There are some issues he had to resolve at his company. I’ll be accompanying you today,” Linda said.
Then, she continued in a gentle voice, “Although Daddy cannot be with us, I’ll be here for you. Are you happy with that?”
Although Lexi wasn’t particularly happy with the situation, she didn’t want to dampen the mood. Thus, she didn’t express her unhappiness.

“I’m happy you are here for me, but I really want to be with Daddy, too,
Lexi said.
Lexi didn’t have much opportunity to enjoy quality time with her parents. Thus, any quality time she got with them was especially precious to her.
Linda felt sorry for Lexi, but there was nothing she could do.
Samson had taken over the company, and it was his responsibility to ensure everything was working smoothly. He had to resolve some issues by himself as no one else could do so.
It was a weekday, so Samson was expected to attend to his company. immediately if any problem arose. Even if it was the weekend, he also had to make sure everything was running smoothly.
It was
not easy to be the president of a company. Samson’s life had changed a lot after taking on the role. He had to be available whenever his company needed him.
Chapter 193
“Daddy’s work is very important. He’ll be back once he has taken care of it. If Daddy doesn’t do his work, he won’t be able to buy you many toys and pretty dresses,” Linda said.
She added, “Although he couldn’t be with us today, he always loves you very much. You know that, right?”
It was difficult for Linda to hold Lexi in her arms for a long time. It was partly because of the injuries she sustained during the fire that occurred five years ago.
Her arm was burnt heavily as a result of that incident. She had
undergone skin grafting surgery, which made her injuries less visible. However, the injuries that she sustained still bothered her until today. She had to spend a long time recovering and regaining strength in her
arms.
Linda started to feel pain in her arms as she held Lexi for a long time.
“Okay, I will play with Mommy today, Lexi said.
There was nothing she could do about the situation, even if she wasn’t happy about it. She learned from the cartoons she watched: that children shouldn’t bother their parents when they were working.
“Lexi, can you walk on your own? My arms are hurting a bit,” Linda
said.
“Okay, Mommy. Please put me down.” Then, Lexi held Linda’s hand as they walked around.
