The Ninth Bride (Samantha and Finley) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 I Am the Young Lady of the Wallace Family
Samantha was concerned that Finley wouldn't believe her, so she reached out and touched his hand. "It must be very painful when you get hurt. So, from now on, I won't let you get hurt again because I will protect you."

Samantha's words were genuine, but Finley couldn't take them seriously.

He feared that all of this was just a dream.

When the dream ended, everything would vanish.

When a person lived in darkness for a long time, they no longer dared to easily believe that the light appearing before their eyes was real.

After all, he was afraid that if he reached out his hand, that hard-earned light would disappear when he woke up from the dream.

After dinner, Samantha cleaned up the dishes and returned to her room. She looked at Finley, who had retreated into the room again and sat on the bed. She didn't know how long she had waited for him, but eventually, fatigue overcame her, and she fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

...

The next day, Samantha woke up to the sound of knocking on the door. She raised her hand instinctively to shield herself from the sunlight streaming through the window.

<i>Knock. Knock. Knock.</i>

The knocking on the door grew more urgent. "Mrs. Dean, Mr. Dean is in trouble."

Finley was in trouble?

Samantha sat up from the bed quickly and didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She went straight to the door and opened it. Upon seeing Daphne's anxious face, Samantha asked, "Daphne, did you just say that Finley is in trouble? What happened to him? Is he injured?"

"Mr. Dean is not injured, but the company's shareholders came to the house early this morning and forced Mr. Dean to give up the president position of the Dean Corporation. Now, Mr. Dean is being threatened by them. Mrs. Dean, I don't understand the company's affairs, so I can't help him. As the young lady of the Wallace Corporation, you should be able to help Mr. Dean resolve this crisis, right?"
