“Dr. Yearwood happened to be visiting Mr. Malcolm Baxter in the Baxter residence. When Mr. Keanu Baxter heard that Mr. Johansson needed emergency aid, he immediately drove Dr. Yearwood over, Wayne explained as he walked over to the living room. He felt speechless when he saw Alec, who had returned to normal, chatting happily with Ryland.
“Oh… Has Mr. Johansson recovered?” Wayne asked.
“Yeah Ryland smiled. His flushed lips and pearly white teeth maile him look very cute. He said in a soft and gentle voice, “Mommy cured Great–Granddad.”
“Um…” Wayne’s expression changed, and he then noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the living room
Samantha was in the living room, eating fruits without a care in the world and sitting like she was a queen. Elise was looking at Keanu, who just entered the living room. She had tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful Xavion was serving coffee to Samantha subserviently. On the other hand, Charlie, Terence, and Darius looked preoccupied, and Wayne did not know what they were thinking about.
In short, the scene was very chaotic.
Elise, who had been staring at Keanu, had seen clearly that Keanu had turned his gaze to Samantha after hearing what Ryland said.
Obviously, there was a trace of surprise and some unclear emotions in his eyes.
A trace of discontent flashed in Elise’s eyes. But in an instant, she said to Keanu gently, “Keanu, thank you for sending Dr Yearwood here to treat Grandpa. You must be tired from driving all the way. Wayne, get Keanu a cup of coffee.”
Only then did Keanu look away from Samantha and turned his gaze to Alec.
“Grandpa Alec, although you’re fine now, it’s better to let Dr. Yearwood give you a checkup.”
“Okay, You’re very thoughtful, Keanu. Alec valued the Baxter family and Keanu very much. Back then when Samantha’s engagement with Keanu had fallen apart, Alec had an emotional outburst.
Now that Elise was engaged to Keanu, Alec was naturally happy with how things were progressing.
His gaze at Keanu was full of appreciation.
Elise also stepped forward and said, “Grandpa, look how much Keanu cares about you.”
Alec smiled and teased, “Well then, you should care for Keanu more on my behalf.”
Elise lowered her head, her face blushing slightly. She said shyly, “I will.”
Samantha, who was eating grapes, got goosebumps all over her body.
“What’s wrong?” Xavion looked at Samantha and said in a low voice, “You still can’t get over Keanu?*
“Eck…” Samantha shivered again and looked at Keanu.
Keanu had nice eyebrows and eyes, with well–defined features and lips. He stood straight with a cold temperament.
It seemed that he was also a handsome man.
Samantha thought, “No wonder he could charm Elise and have her captivated.”
Keanu was indeed handsome. However, he was still far from being able to make Samantha fall in love with him.

Chapter 7
Samantha thought again, It’s not a joke that 1, Samantha, have seen countless handsome men that I’ve become picky when
it comes to me.”
Somehow, Samantha remembered the face of the man sitting in the car she saw at the Johansson residence’s entrance this aftemoon.
She thought, “Tsk… I have to say that the man’s looks appeal to my aesthetic preferences. His features are all positioned just nice on his face, just like mine… Yet, he did not show any interest in my seduction! If I meet him again, I’ll teach him a
lesson!”
Of
rse. Samantha selectively ignored her embarrassing look at that time. After all, in her world, Samantha had always been beautiful and a stunning sight to see, and there was never any embarrassment in her.
At this time, Keanu noticed that someone was looking at him and turned around, meeting Samantha’s gaze squarely.
He was baffled.
He thought. “Why does she look like she wants to eat me? Why is she biting the grapes like she’s tearing meat off bones?”
Keanu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He wondered if Samantha was still blaming him for canceling the engagement.
The marriage contract was decided by his family, and he never handled it personally, but at the end of the day, he had indeed failed her.
Reanu’s eyes showed a hint of apology
Seeing the usually aloof Keanu looking at Samantha guiltily, Xavion felt that he would become blinded by the light coming from these old flames rekindling.
He thought, “Is there something going on between these old flames?
Seeing that Samantha seemed to be distracted, Xavion quickly poked her arm and said, “Look, Keanu seems to be apologizing to you!”
“Huh?” Samantha’s mind returned from the distraction. She felt displeased and furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
She gave Keanu a look. It seemed that the latter’s eyes were indeed apologetic. Just as Xavion was about to watch the drama unfold, Samantha turned her head around in the next second and ignored Keanu outrightly to continue eating grapes.
Keanu was speechless.
Xavion also stayed silent
“Hey… Xavion could not help but lean closer to Samantha and said, “Samantha, what is going on with you? If you still harbor feelings for Keanu, just tell me about it. We’ll snatch him from Else!”
Tsk.” Samantha rolled her eyes and replied, “With his foul looks, do you seriously think I find him unforgettable? Why would I even need to snatch him away? Don’t devalue me like this, please.”
Keanu, who happened to walk over and hear their conversation, was rendered speechless.
Although Keanu was not interested in the affairs between men and women, he was still a noble scion pursued by countless socialites and noblewomen
He thought, “Why do I look foul in Samantha’s eyes?”
Kranu suddenly felt a little upset.
Chapter 7
He went straight to Samantha and sat down opposite her, looking fixedly at her. “It’s been a long time.”
Samantha was taken aback as she thought, “What a cold and stiff greeting.”
Samantha leaned on the couch casually, sitting cross–legged with her body oblique. She looked at Keanu with raised eyebrows, and her tone sounded mischievous.
“Hey, Handsome. It’s a little straightforward to hit on a girl like this. It seems this is the first time you’re doing such a thing.
huh?”
Xavion stared at Samantha incredulously with widened eyes.
He thought, “I haven’t seen Samantha for six years. Did she turn into a hooligan somehow?”
Keanu had acted high and mighty, but now, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
However, he steadied his emotions again the next second and smiled slightly. “I haven’t seen you for several years. You’ve changed a lot.”
“I have to.” Samantha showed him a half–smile. “You’ve changed your wife, so what is it to you if I change my personality? I wonder is it easier to change a wife or one’s personality?”
Xavion was speechless and thought, “What kind of nonsense is this?”
Keanu felt a mix of complicated emotions instantly. He thought. No wonder Samantha was so sharp–tongued at the. It seemed that she really has complaints and held hatred about what happened back then.
That makes sense. My family rearranged a marriage contract for me, and the bride was still someone from the Johansson family. What’s more, the person is Samantha’s sister. If I were Samantha, I would also complain and hold grudges about this engagement.
“I was wrong about what happened back then. Let me know how I can make up to you,” Keanu offered.
Xavion, the nosy onlooker, stared at Keanu with his eyes opened so wide that they could not get any wider.
‘Keanu, the scion who is famous for being indifferent, suddenly becomes so easy to talk to?
Samantha’s every word was sarcastic toward Keanu, but the latter was not angry and wanted to make it up to her instead?” Xavion thought.
He inexplicably started to find Samantha admirable.
However, Elise could not sit still when she heard this on the side.
She came over and sat next to Keanu. She then said gently, “Keanu, what happened back then wasn’t your fault. You don’t have to apologize. Everyone knows it was Samantha who betrayed you first. You were just a victim.”
“Hey.” Samantha raised her eyebrows and looked at Elise with irony in her eyes. “You haven’t ever gotten married yet but you already side with outsiders rather than the people in your family. If you really married into the Baxter family, would you help them take over the Johansson family right away?”
