“I’m almost done,” he said, pulling her hand to walk outside.
Thelma was led by him, wiping his sweat as she said, “Why are you working out so early? Didn’t you sleep late last night? Why not sleep a little longer?”
“How can I not train hard? Otherwise, do you think my stamina and skills come from nowhere?”
Thelma: “……”
Stamina… skills…
Thelma looked at him, but he appeared completely natural, as if he were simply stating the most obvious thing.
How could he…
Thelma complained, “You work out just for that?”
Sam Noah raised an eyebrow, smiling at her, “What else would it be for?”
Thelma: “……”
Thelma felt teased, but he said it so naturally, as if everything should be this way. Her face turned red, and she didn’t dare to respond, being led back to the room by him.
After Sam Noah took a shower, he came out of the bathroom wearing only a pair of black underwear. The design was very fitted, making him look incredibly sexy. He put on long pants and a shirt, and Thelma rested her chin on her hand, staring at him.
What a sexy and elegant man; even putting on clothes looked so aesthetically pleasing.
“It’s getting late; I have to leave,” he said while buttoning his shirt cuffs, walking toward the door. “You and the child stay at home. I’ll be back early tomorrow.”
Thelma was reluctant to let him go. She hurriedly crawled over from the bed and hugged his waist.
Sam Noah: “……”
“Just for a while, just for a while.”
This woman’s clinginess was truly refreshing his understanding time and again.
So clingy, what would he do about it in the future?!
However, Mr. Sam couldn’t help but smile at the woman clinging to his waist, unable to let go. He cleared his throat and straightened his expression, saying, “If you keep this up, I might not be able to leave.”
Thelma felt she should be more sensible, so she slowly released her grip and said, “Alright, you can go.”
How could he stand that disappointed and aggrieved look on her face?
“Go put on your clothes and come with me to Maplewick.”
Thelma looked at him, “?????”
“But I will be very busy this time, so I might not be able to take care of you.”
Like a child receiving candy, Thelma’s heart couldn’t help but leap with joy, but she hadn’t forgotten to be cautious, “What about the child?”
“If he wants to go, he can come with us. If he doesn’t want to, we can send him to his aunt’s place.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll go change clothes right now.”
Thelma changed her clothes and knocked on the little boy’s door. Tyler had just woken up, looking sleepy.
“Tyler, we’re going to Maplewick. Do you want to come with us?”
“Maplewick?”
Tyler remembered that last time they went to Maplewick, his mom wanted to pull him and dad to sleep together, but if he slept with them, they wouldn’t be able to have a little sister.
Thinking of this, Tyler shook his head firmly, “I don’t want to go.”
Thelma said, “Then I’ll take you to your aunt’s place, okay?”
The little boy nodded, smiling, “I haven’t seen my aunt for several days. I miss her.”
Thelma let him sleep a little longer, planning to call her sister later to come pick him up. After finishing these tasks, Thelma set off with Sam Noah.
Since they hadn’t informed anyone in advance this time, when they arrived at the Sam family’s old residence, it wasn’t as grand as the first time. Only three people had lunch together; Fernando, Marco and Norah didn’t come. However, because Tyler wasn’t there, Ruth felt a bit disappointed during the meal.
Sam Noah was indeed very busy; after lunch, he left. Ruth arranged to play games with friends and instructed the housekeeper to take Thelma around.
The Sam family’s backyard was vast, and the housekeeper took her on a tour that would take quite a while. Thelma, fearing to delay others, said, “I can wander around by myself; you go do your own thing.”
“Alright, Madam, if you need anything, just call me.”
“But I see there are many houses here; can I go into any of them?”
The housekeeper replied, “Of course, Madam is the mistress here; you can go anywhere.”
The backyard of the Sam family was large, with many villas of different styles, and the landscaping was unique. It was said that during the summer, some courtyards even became scenic spots for tourists to visit.
Thelma walked to a villa in the style of the 1920s and 30s. There were staff members inside, a young girl in professional attire greeted her, “Would you like to take a look around here, Madam?”
