Chapter 0118
Francis assumed that Ford Corporation’s serious crisis had something to do with
Samantha.
He didn’t really want her to face all these issues alone. If she asked for help, even if
it was just a single sentence, he would spare no effort to resolve things for her.
However, she didn’t want to rely on him.
Rather than relying on him, she sought help from Conrad, whom she didn’t trust.
It was like every time she said “thank you” after Francis helped her. It was because
she genuinely didn’t want to owe him anything.-
Samantha, now composed and with exquisite makeup, had erased all traces of tears
from her face. She had restored herself to the glamorous lady she usually was.
After they entered the car, Francis drove Samantha home.
The car traversed several intersections, and then Samantha said, “This is me.”
Francis parked the car and opened the door.
When Samantha got out, Francis followed her, showing no intention of leaving.
Samantha turned and looked at Francis.
He smiled, understanding what she wanted to say. Yet he got ahead of her and said, ”
I’ll walk you upstairs.”
“No need, Francis. If you go up, Nate will throw a fit. He won’t let you leave,” Samantha explained apologetically. Nathan had already thrown fits several times during the time Francis hadn’t been around.
However, Francis seemed completely indifferent. He replied, “I want to go up and see Nate. It’s been a long time, and I miss him.
“Don’t refuse. Nate has been under my care since he was little. You can’t just kick me out now that he has grown up. That would upset me.”
Apparently aware that Samantha would refuse, Francis preemptively said it
outright, leaving no room for her to sect

On his face, there was an unusual absence of his ypical casual smile: Hectuallyy appeared serious.
Samantha really wanted to refine, but seeing him like this, she couldn’t bog herself to do it.
Nathan depended on Francis so much. One day, Francis would have his own family and his own wife, so Samantha couldn’t let Wathan depend to Francis. It would be
too selfish.
However, at this moment, she couldn’t find the wouts to terase. In the end, she hadi
no choice but to let him follow hen
In her heart, Samantha thought she had to hurry Once this was ever, Food Corporation was sure to face a significant S*xback. At that post she would jo forces with Conrad and intensify efforts to bring down Food Corporation.
After everything ended, she would reconnect with best mates and have a good life with Nathan. Whether going abroad or staying, they would cut off all ties with these unrelated people and live their lives.
Little did she know that once there were attachments, it would the possible
sever ties completely.
Years of memories had already been engraved into her bones. How could she
possibly cut them off completely?
The two walked slowly, entering the neighborhood. They passed through a pawinon and a garden, then turned a few corners before arriving at the building withere
Samantha lived. They then took the elevator.
Finally, the elevator stopped, and Samantha knocked on the door.
The door opened, and it was Nathan who welcomed them.
The moment Nathan saw Francis, whom he had been missing for a long time, he
rushed over and clung tightly to the man.
“Uncle Francis,” he cried, “where have you been lately? Mommy said you’re very
busy and don’t have time to visit me, but I know she’s just trying to comfort me.

“You don’t want me anymore, right? Waah… I don’t have a daddy. If you abandon me,
I really don’t know what to do!”
Nathan’s words struck a chord in Francis’ heart. He lifted Nathan gently and patted
his back, saying, “How could that be? I would never abandon you, never.”
Francis suddenly felt guilty. Why was he being awkward all this time?
Despite knowing what kind of person Samantha was and the reason she said those
things, he was still provoked and stopped caring about them.
Meanwhile, as Samantha observed this scene, she felt extremely guilty.
Luckily, at this moment, the insensitive Alexis walked out. “Welcome back. Why are
you just standing outside?”
She had been busy in the kitchen and hadn’t heard their conversation outside, so
she didn’t know that Francis had come.
“Why are you here? Who asked you to come?”
Seeing Francis, Alexis was annoyed. Francis’ personality was too much for her, and
he was one of the few men Nathan hung out with. She didn’t want Francis rubbing
off on Nathan.
But looking back, Francis did save Samantha. Throughout these years, Samantha
and Nathan also relied on his care.
At this thought, although she still found this man a bit intolerable, she had already
considered him a friend deep down.
