“Oh, I’m so sad to hear you say that, but even if you call me a scoundrel, I’ll still look after you. I’ll always protect you.” Samuel’s smile was as warm as the spring breeze, blooming even brighter.

Alita was touched. “This despicable guy said such things when I’m at my weakest. No matter how much I didn’t want to admit it, I was touched,‘ she thought. Ever since she was young, he would comfort and encourage her like a big brother when she was in trouble or sad. They used to be so close.

‘Forget it. I don’t want to think about it anymore. Anyway, I can’t beat him now. Since I can’t beat him, I’ll let him do whatever he wants. At the thought of this, Alita closed her eyes in exhaustion. Unexpectedly, she fell into a deep sleep.

After walking for a while, Samuel saw that she was silent. He lowered his head to look at her and realized she had fallen asleep. A gentle and warm smile could not help but appear on his lips, and his gaze was deep and affectionate.

He hugged her tighter and pressed the elevator button. He had investigated and knew that she lived on the 28th floor.

Samuel looked at the electronic lock when they arrived at the apartment door. He stood at the door for a second and reached out to press the password. When it opened, his heart sank slightly.

As expected, she used the date of her divorce with Jaydon as the password. She probably would remember that day forever.

He carried her into the house and turned on the lights. It was a simple and elegant renovation style. The lines were clear, and there was nothing fancy about it. It felt more like a man’s residence. There was a gray hard sofa, a black coffee table, and a white wall. It was indeed the style of Alita. She was always strong. She had always been different from other women because she had experienced too many traumas in her heart.

Samuel could understand because he had the same experience, and it was even more tragic than hers.

He carried her to the bedroom, lifted the blanket, and gently placed her on it. He gently brushed away the hair on her forehead with his fingers. “Girl, you hate me so much. Do you know how sad I am? My heart hurts. It hurts…”

Leaning over, he kissed her on the forehead.

He got up and walked out of the room. He took off his coat and placed it on the sofa.

He took ice cubes from the refrigerator in the kitchen and went to the bathroom to find a washbasin and towel. He carried them to her bedroom, rolled the towel, and placed it on her forehead.

He took the fever medicine from the bag, poured a glass of water, walked to her bed, and patted her face. “Alita, wake up and take the medicine first.”

“Yeah…” Alita mumbled in a daze, unable to open her eyes.

Samuel sat down and picked her up from the bed. He made her lean against him and said, “Be good. Take the medicine first. Now, open your lips.”

Alita obediently opened her m*uth. She felt something was placed in her mo*th, and then she drank water. She was very thirsty, so she drank water with all her might. The sweet water moistened her throat, and she felt very comfortable. The chest she relied on became so warm and trustworthy at this moment, like her father’s embrace.

“Alita, you’re such a good girl. Have a good sleep. I’ll always be by your side, so don’t be afraid.” Samuel gently put her down and covered her with the blanket.

On the other side, Jaydon sat on the balcony and frowned. He kept thinking about Alita. ‘Is she not feeling well? Will she faint when she returns home alone? What if no one finds out?‘

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He had been holding his phone for ten minutes, but in the end, he couldn’t help but make a call.

Samuel, who was making soup with an apron in the kitchen, heard Alita’s phone ring. He turned off the heat and came out. Then, he opened Alita’s bag, took out her phone, and looked at it.

It was Jaydon!

Samuel’s nerves jolted, and a dark look flashed across his black eyes. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone.

Chapter 107

“Hello?”

‘Why is it a man’s voice?‘ Jaydon’s face darkened. “Who are you?”

“Jaydon, can’t you even recognize your uncle’s voice?” Samuel did not deny who he was and did not feel guilty at all.

“Samuel?” Jaydon was surprised. He wondered how Samuel got together with Alita. He knew that they were very close, but it seemed that their relationship did not last long.

Samuel smiled and said, “That’s right! Last time, I heard Evelyn say that you found a Miss Thompson to be your wedding planner. I guessed that it was Alita, so I went to look for her the next day. I passed by there tonight and saw her crossing the road. She was staggering, so I sent her home. She’s sleeping now.”

“Is she sick?” Jaydon quickly asked. He did not even realize how nervous he sounded.

“Yes, she’s sick and has a high fever. Jaydon, don’t worry. I’ll look after her. After all, you’re getting married. It’s not good to let Evelyn know you still care about your ex–wife.” Samuel especially emphasized the word ex–wife to remind him that Alita was free.

How could a clever person like Jaydon not understand what he meant? He was instantly displeased. “Samuel, isn’t it a little strange that you drove there in the middle of the night? Could it be that you’re also interested in your niece–in–law?”

“Well, Jaydon, I’ve always had a good relationship with Alita. Don’t you know? As for whether I’m interested in her or not, I can only say that she’s the woman I’m most satisfied with. Also, she’s not my niece–in–law now. We’re friends.” Since he asked so directly, Samuel had no reason to deny it.

He now had the right and authority to pursue the single Alita.

“You’re friends?! Huh, Samuel, are you trying to tell me that you plan to pursue my wife?” Jaydon’s expression turned terrifying.

“Jaydon, she’s not your wife anymore, so it’s not a mistake for me to pursue her.” Samuel expressed his attitude. He was determined to get Alita.

“Samuel, you hid it well.” Jaydon stood up with a murderous look in his eyes. He had always vaguely known that there must be feelings other than kinship between Samuel and Alita because they were so good to each other. However, he did not expect Samuel to be so bold as to dream of having her. This was something he had not expected.

Samuel sighed nonchalantly. “Hey, Jaydon, I’m a m

a man too. Isn’t it normal for me to like a woman?”

“Fuck the normal!” Jaydon angrily threw his phone downstairs.

On the other end, Samuel smiled and moved the phone away from his ear, looking relaxed and casual.

From now on, he could love Alita openly. In front of Jaydon and everyone, he could tell them how much he loved her. He had loved her deeply from the moment she entered the Lewis family.

After the anger passed, a sense of danger surfaced in Jaydon’s heart. ‘Alita, you’re living a good life now. It’s not enough that have your ex–boyfriend and a boy circling you. You even want to interfere with Samuel. Three men are head over heels for you. You’re so capable and amazing,‘ he thought angrily.

you

Turning around, he quickly walked into the house, grabbed his coat, and left the room.

Alita was in a deep sleep. The towel on her forehead was cold and comfortable.

Samuel sat by the bed and changed the towel for her occasionally. He took her temperature with a thermometer. She could only go to the hospital if her fever did not subside.

The clock on the wall pointed to two in the morning.

Jaydon drove over, but the security guard at the apartment entrance refused to let him in. He had no choice but to let the security guard call Alita’s apartment.

The phone suddenly rang beside the bed, making Alita open her eyes in a daze. She said weakly, “The phone is ringing. Give it

to me.”

“I’ll pick it up. Don’t worry about it. Go back to sleep.” Samuel comforted her and went to pick up the phone,

When Jaydon heard Samuel’s voice again, he was furious. “Put Alita on the phone.”

“She’s sick and can’t answer the call,” Samuel answered faintly.

“I don’t care if she’s sick or not. Put her on the phone immediately.” He didn’t believe that she was too sick to answer the phone.

“Sorry, but she can’t answer the phone. I’m hanging up.” Samuel sneered. He took the phone away from his ear and was about to put it back on the receiver.

A slender hand reached out from under the covers, stopped him, and pulled the receiver over. She said, “Give it to me.”

“Are you sure you want to answer it? It’s a call from Jaydon.” Samuel didn’t let go. He was afraid she didn’t know who it was, SO he reminded her.

Alita was stunned. She let go of her hand and said, “If it’s him, hang up.” She retracted her hand back into the blanket and closed her eyes.

Samuel smiled and put the phone back, even though Jaydon was roaring on the other side.

When Jaydon heard their conversation on the phone, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He called again. Samuel picked it up and hung up. In less than ten seconds, it rang again. After doing this three times, Samuel directly unplugged the phone.

“Oh.” Jaydon looked up at the sky and exhaled angrily. With a terrifying expression, he slammed the phone down.

Phone

The security guard standing at the side couldn’t help but retreat. ‘It seems like he does know Miss Thompson. A thief shouldn’t drive such a car and wear such clothes,‘ he thought. Then, he told Jaydon, “Sir, I’m afraid of you. Go in. Just go in.”

Ten minutes later, the doorbell of Alita’s apartment rang.

If the door was not opened, Jaydon would keep pressing.

“Forget it. Go and open it.” Alita’s head hurt. Hearing the continuous ringing of the doorbell, her head felt li explode.

“Alright then.” Samuel stood up and walked out of the room to open the door.

it was about to

As soon as he opened the door, Jaydon’s expression darkened. He pushed Samuel away and rushed into the house. His anger instantly disappeared when he reached the bedroom and saw Alita lying weakly on the bed with a white towel on her forehead. He admitted that he had imagined her doing something intimate with Samuel on the way.

Samuel’s eyes darkened. He pulled on his clothes and walked in. “Your way of greeting is so special.”

Upon hearing the voice, Jaydon clenched his fists and looked away from Alita’s face. His cold gaze landed on Samuel’s face like an ice blade. “Come out with me. I have something to talk to you about.”

He walked out of the room with a murderous aura. Samuel was still calm as he followed him out of the room.

Alita slowly opened her eyes on the bed.
