After Noah ran back to the room, he locked the door and sent a video call to Alexander on his mobile phone.
The video call is picked up in seconds.
Alexander smiled with a proud face, puffing out his chest and asking for credit, "How was it? Daddy was very touched when he saw it, right? Is he attracted to my mommy?"
Noah was speechless at his confident look. "Tomorrow we will change our identities according to the old method! Those words of love you confessed made my father sick."
Alexander looked unbelieving. "How is it possible? That was written by someone else. I think my love letter is very well written!"
Noah sighed in his heart, feeling that he had to come to bring his father and Miss Samantha together, so he said firmly, "Tomorrow we will exchange ourselves at the small supermarket in front of the kindergarten. Come here and leave it to me to write the love letter."
Although he had never written it.
But it is definitely better than what Alexander wrote.
Alexander pouted and agreed with an unconvinced face. "Okay!"
...
As soon as Suzy returned to the Miller family’s old house, Sarah pulled her back into the room.
Sarah detailed the events of the day to Suzy.
"Suzy, you have to hold on to Ethan and be sure not to let him go. I noticed his unusual attitude towards that Samantha today. You haven't married him yet, so you must avoid causing any problems."
Suzy curled her lips and said proudly, "Mom, don't worry! Even if Ethan likes Samantha, she won't be able to enter the Steele family without the approval of the two elders. They won't allow Ethan to marry Noah's stepmother."
Sarah wasn't optimistic, "If Ethan really listens to them, wouldn't you have been married to him by now?"
If Ethan hadn't resisted, Suzy would have become the first lady of the Emperor Group four years ago. Why wait until today to become the laughing stock of the whole town?
Suzy felt angry when she mentioned this matter. "I don't know if Ethan is a man. If Samantha hadn't given birth to his child, I would have suspected that he had a hidden disease."
No matter how she seduced him, he just wasn't interested at all. His body didn't react at all.
No man can remain indifferent to her temptation.
Sarah rolled her eyes slyly and gave her an idea, "Go and find a way to tell the two elders of the Steele family about Samantha and let them deal with her. Remember, you must stay out of the matter and don't get involved. Otherwise, you will only make Ethan hate you even more."
Suzy instantly understood what she meant, nodded quickly, and said, "I know what to do."
Samantha was entangled with Justin. At the same time, she seduced Ethan and tried to marry into the Steele family.
The two elders of the Steele family are conservative in their thinking and will never allow Ethan to marry such a woman.
When the time comes, she will effortlessly break up Ethan and Samantha.
...
The next day dawned clear, with morning light piercing through the clouds.
The sobs of a girl roused Justin from his deep sleep.
Rubbing his aching temples, he slowly opened his eyes.
What he saw was chaos. Karen hugged the quilt, curled up at the foot of the bed, crying, with bruises all over her body, looking extremely embarrassed.
Realizing something, Justin woke up instantly. Looking down, he found himself naked and covered with a thin sheet.
The disheveled bed, clothes strewn on the floor, and the marks on Karen's body all conveyed one thing.
Something happened between him and Karen that shouldn't have.
Boundless guilt overwhelmed him.
He sat up, looked at Karen with shame, and blamed himself, "Karen, I'm sorry, I drank too much last night and can't remember anything."
Karen's eyes were swollen from crying.
The tearful look was pitiful and endearing.
She shook her head gently and pretended to be strong, "I know, I don't blame you! I will pretend that what happened last night never happened, and I will still be you friend, just as before."
Justin was very confused. Thinking that Samantha was already married, his heart stung.
Since he could no longer be with the woman he loved, it didn't matter who he was with. Moreover, he and Karen had already developed a substantial relationship. He had to be responsible for her.
After a short pause, he said, "Since it has happened, how can we pretend it hasn't? If you don't dislike it, let's get married!"
Karen was stunned, thinking she was dreaming, and looked at Justin blankly.
Justin thought she was unwilling and hastily said, "If you are unwilling, I can offer you other compensation!"
Hearing this, Karen was afraid he would regret it, so she shook her head and said, "Yes, I am willing! You know, I have liked you for a long time!"
Justin said gently, "Okay! Set a time for the parents to meet and let them choose an auspicious day."
"Yes!"
Karen nodded vigorously and cried with joy.
She had been waiting for this day for fifteen years.
Dreaming of marrying Justin.
Unexpectedly, she finally got her wish today.
...
Samantha dropped off Charlotte and Alexander at kindergarten. Alexander, as usual, found a reason, just like last time, to swap identities with Noah. Noah attended kindergarten in his place, while Alexander hopped into the Steele family's private car, chauffeured back by the driver.
After dropping the kids off, Samantha called Karen on her way home. Karen hadn't returned home the night before. Worried, Samantha was relieved to spot Karen getting out of a high-end car as she arrived at the community gate.
Hastening over, Samantha asked anxiously, "Karen, where were you last night? Why didn't you come back? You didn't even answer the phone. I was so worried."
Karen's cheeks were flushed, her eyes evasive, and she lowered her head, revealing hickeys on her neck. Samantha understood instantly and playfully smiled, "You little girl, growing up and spending the night with your boyfriend without telling me."
Nervously, Karen twisted the hem of her clothes, hesitating to speak.
Thinking Karen was shy, Samantha joked, "Why don't you introduce your boyfriend to me?"
Karen raised her head, her eyes full of guilt.
Samantha was confused, but before she could ask, she saw Justin opening the car door and stepping out. She was stunned and looked at Justin blankly. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Seeing Samantha again, Justin was still heartbroken, and his eyes were so deep that they almost overflowed with affection.
Jealous, Karen took Justin's arm and said apologetically, "Sam, I'm sorry, I'm with Justin. Please, don’t blame me!"
The sudden truth made Samantha's face pale and her heart felt sour and astringent. Before she had time to digest the matter, she heard Justin say cruelly, "Samantha, Karen and I will get married soon. As our mutual friend, will you come to our wedding then?"
His words were like a sharp blade, piercing Samantha's heart. It hurt so much that she almost suffocated. Her mind was pounding, and she lost the ability to think. Before her emotions broke down, she didn't leave a single word and fled the scene in a hurry.
She looked extremely miserable.
Justin clenched his hands into fists, and his chest hurt as if something had exploded. The girl he had once sworn to protect for the rest of his life was hurt by him today. He was so upset that he wanted to die.
Seeing Samantha's fleeing figure, Karen felt happier than ever before.
Fifteen years.
he had finally defeated Samantha.
From now on, Justin was hers.
With Samantha on his mind, Justin felt so distraught that he couldn't focus on Karen. He came up with an excuse, stating, "I still have some work to take care of at the company, so I won't accompany you upstairs. I'll let you know once we set a time to meet."
Karen, being compliant, nodded, stood on her tiptoes, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Be careful on the road!"
A hint of discomfort flickered in Justin's eyes, but he nodded calmly, then got into the car and drove away.
As Justin disappeared from view, Karen smugly raised her lips.
She was aware that Justin still harbored feelings for Samantha.
But what did it matter?
Since she could successfully marry Justin, she was determined to make him fall in love with her.
She had been waiting for fifteen years, so a couple more days wouldn't make her anxious.
