Chapter 211
In the past, even Linda had asked William a question, he would have never been so honest with his answer. It was hard for anyone to believe that they were once married
“Is Lexi asleep?” she asked, but before William could respond, Lexi peeked from upstairs.
“Mommy, I’m not asleep yet. I wanted to wait for you and Daddy to return home first,” she explained.
Linda smiled and waved her ever “Come here, Lexi Give Mommy a hug.”
Lexi ran down the stairs and dove into Linda’s arm
“Daddy has an important meeting tonight, so he might not be home too early,” Linda explained.
The two projects carved out from the Wilson Group weren’t massive for the Lynch Group, but they were still complex
Samson had been swamped, but he always made a point to return home since Lexi was there
With Linda staying in the house, Samson’s parents had moved to another villa
Although they knew the relationship between Samson and Linda wasn’t what it once was, it still felt awkward
“When will Daddy be back?” Lexi asked
“I’m back now,” Samson suddenly answered from the entrance. He had mashed home and was drenched by the rain. His clothes were damp as he entered the house.
“Lexi, let Mominy hold you for a bit,” he added
He took off his coat and casually hung it on the nearby rack. “I got caught in the rain, and now I feel chilly. How aboutthead upstairs to shower? Then, I’ll come down and hug
Lexi nodded. “Then, Daddy has to drink that sweet soup afterward.”
Samson chuckled, knowing exactly what she meant. The “sweet soup” was actually vanilla milk.
When she fell before, James had coaxed her into drinking vanilla milk by calling it soup as she refused to drink it otherwise. Afterward, she started referring to vanilla milk as the sweet soup she didn’t like.
“How about asking the nanny to pour a glass of vanilla milk for me?” Samson suggested.
Lexi immediately jumped out of Linda’s arms and dashed toward the kitchen on her little legs.
Both Linda and Samson smiled while watching her run off
“Your daughter sure does care about you,” she remarked
“Finally admitting that she’s my daughter? Who else would she care about if not me?” Samson replied.
“Go take a shower before you catch a cold,” she said while gently pushing him.
He shook his head while smiling and headed toward the elevator
Meanwhile, William stood awkwardly in the living room, feeling out of place.
