Chapter 0086
On a quiet night, an unexpected cold wind swept through the alley.
The baby in the swaddle cried loudly. She could only wrap herself in heavy clothes.
and huddle in a corner. Her reddened fingertips crawled into her palm.
After waiting for hours, just before the impending downpour, a tall woman stepped
out from the orphanage and picked up the baby.
“What an irresponsible mother!”
Startled, Samantha finally woke up from her dreams.
The sunlight poured through the window at the foot of the bed.
She wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead. She reached for her phone and
dialed Francis‘ number.
Francis stopped the car to answer the call.
“Did the business trip go well?”
Francis‘ voice was as gentle as ever.
“It was okay,” Samantha lowered her voice, trying to keep her tone steady.
She continued, “Is Nate with you?”
Francis handed the phone to the back seat where Nathan was.
Dropping the toy, Nathan cheerfully exclaimed, “Mommy!”
Nathan’s voice carried a hint of childishness, and Samantha’s suspended heart
finally settled. After a brief chat, she had to hang up. Nathan was about to head into
the kindergarten.
Samantha put down the phone to charge. Her mind was filled with scenes from her
memories.
Perhaps triggered by the dream, she thought of visiting the orphanage and thanking. the person in charge there. Additionally, she wanted to refine the information

regarding her identity to prevent Kendrick from noticing any flaws.
She changed her clothes. Before leaving, she glanced at the schedule.
The itinerary on the schedule was quite scattered. Still, she had to allocate some
time to deal with the company issues sent to her email by Helen.
In the kitchen, a temporarily hired maid was cooking. Her stein appearance made people reluctant to approach her.
“Good morning, Mr. Ford”
Samantha took her seat, and beside her was the latest fashion magazine.
In front of Kendrick was a cup of warm milk, and it seemed as though he was reading the financial newspaper. Samantha still thought it was a quiet morning. when she picked up the magazine. However, the morning’s tranquility was shattered by cries of surprise and the sound of broken glass from the kitchen.
Without a second thought, Samantha rushed into the kitchen. Kendrick, on the other
hand, remained unmoved as he continued to read the news.
Over a dozen plates crashed to the ground, and the maid was dealing with them.
“Are you okay?” Samantha crouched down carefully helping to clean up the broken
pieces of plates.
“I’m fine
The woman’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
Looking at the maid’s dry hands from years of labor, Samantha felt bad for her.
After everything was settled, Samantha took over her duty and asked her to take a
break.
With Kendrick’s approval, the woman hesitantly left while wearing a pained
expression.
Samantha served breakfast and looked at Kendrick
“Mr. Ford, about that maid
“She was the former principal of the orphanage.”

Without lifting his head, Kendrick put down the newspaper and began eating his
breakfast.
Samantha was taken aback. She wondered if this was just a coincidence.
“Do you have her number?”
Samantha’s inquiry prompted a puzzled expression from Kendrick.
“Do you know her?”
“We did contact each other previously, but I don’t know her personally.”
Samantha picked up the cutleries.
She had long forgotten the face of the principal. She only remembered her gentle
smile that she would give to the orphans.
She had helped Samantha adopt Nathan. So, Samantha wanted to show her a little
kindness.
Kendrick, with keen interest, turned his face and set down the cutleries.
“I didn’t know you were a kind person. She has her own life.”
Kendrick looked into Samantha’s eyes. At the company, she had always prioritized work and never let emotions interfere. Perhaps this version of Samantha was more
attractive.
“Mr. Ford, I just want her contact information. I don’t think this is something hard.
for you.
Samantha withdrew her kind look once again. Maybe she needed to provoke
Kendrick more to make him like her.
“Jude will give you her number after breakfast.”
Kendrick predictably made the choice she wanted.
The orphanage principal was Jordane Gomez. Her contact information consisted

only of a home landline and an address that was difficult to find on the map.
Samantha had originally wanted to visit her alone, but Kendrick followed her under the pretext of boredom.
“Don’t you want to share your story with me?”
Kendrick was dressed in a suit and looked particularly outstanding as he walked through the streets and alleys.
“I don’t think you should interfere with your employee’s personal affairs, Mr. Ford.”
Samantha stopped before a fruit store by the roadside to buy some fruit. Meanwhile,
Kendrick stood at the door. He looked at the fair skin that was revealed between
Samantha’s strands of hair. He squinted his eyes slightly.
Ever since Samantha had left his side, he stopped seeking out women. Now, this woman, who might be Samantha in the flesh, once again caught his attention.
