Chapter 9
Tina froze. Still, when she saw that Samuel was about to head towards his car, she rushed towards him furiously, spreading her arms as she stood in his way. 

 

“Explain yourself! I’ve already cooked for you, and forget not eating—why would you say something like that?”

 

“Move.” Samuel, however, had no intention to speak with her at all.

 

Nonetheless, Tina was a little flustered and reached out to grab his sleeve, only for him to shake her off.

 

Caught defenseless, she fell to the ground, her recently bandaged wounds splitting open.

 

Samuel didn’t even care to look, and entered Sandy Shaw’s car which drove off.

 

He remained impassive even as he wiped his fingers with antibacterial wipes.

 

Back then, that woman had relied on the nightclub to jump him… but how many men had she jumped before with the same method?

 

The thought that he personally bandaged her and the fact that he actually felt something towards her left him utterly disgusted…

Back at the courtyard of the mansion, Tina slowly pushed herself off the ground. She didn’t cry as she restrained her inward grief, and returned to the dining room.

 

Looking at the table filled with dishes she cooked painstakingly, she sniffled and quietly snapped, “If you won’t eat, I will!”

 

She decided that she would stick to her original plan—annoy Samuel, and never cook for him ever again.

 

Feeding a dog would be far better than feeding a man with brain damage!

 

Turning her grief into appetite, Tina finished every dish on the table.
