Chapter 183
As Samantha spoke those words, Francis‘ heart became filled with a hint of reluctance.
He turned his head, his deep and affectionate gaze fixed upon Samantha.
“Really?” he asked.
“Of course!” Samantha nodded vigorously. “It’s more genuine than real gold!”
After saying that, she playfully poked Francis in the chest and said, “You! You’ve been away for so long, and you just came back! Do you know it’s not right to leave your girlfriend waiting alone?”
“I know.” Francis‘ voice suddenly became a little husky.
Samantha looked up at him, only to find that his gaze had suddenly become somehow desirous as if his eyes were emitting flames.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and Francis slowly leaned closer to Samantha, his lips nearing hers.
“Today… I’lltake good care of you…”
At three in the morning, only then did someone finally stop.
Samantha was completely limp and powerless to move, feeling like she might just pass out right there, However, the discomfort caused by the sticky sweat all over her body made her unable to find any relief.
She weakly tugged at her lips. “Carry me to the bathroom.”
“Okay” Francis smiled.
Evidently, he was in the mood again.
In the end, Samantha deeply regretted uttering those words.
It wasn’t until dawn had broken and the rooster had crowed that he finally ceased his activities.
Then, she was finally able to fall asleep.
At six in the morning, Yarris had been waiting by the gates of the manor for quite some time.
“What’s going on? Francis is never late. It’s been over half an hour, and there’s no sign of him,” he thought.
Based on past experiences, he dared not enter the manor without caution.
Thus, poor Yarris waited at the manor gates all morning.
It wasn’t until two in the afternoon that he saw Francis finally come out.
Not to mention that the latter seemed to be in a good mood.
Yarris couldn’t help but notice a continuous curve on the latter’s lips.
Seated in his car, Francis was lost in thought, replaying the restricted scenes of the previous night in his mind.
He had indeed let loose after holding back for more than a month.
Although he hadn’t slept all night, he felt remarkably energetic then.

He still remembered how beautiful Samantha was last night.
He also remembered the coquettish words she had spoken last night.
She had missed him so much that she had gone out to drown her sorrows in alcohol, gazing at the moon. “Wait a minute… There wasn’t a moon last night.” Upon thinking of that, Francis was stunned and suddenly chuckled.
His little darling was still as adorable as ever,
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Yarris shivered when he saw through the rearview mirror that Francis was staring at the screen and suddenly burst into laughter.
s was staring at the computer
“What on earth is going on? Could someone please tell me, a single man, what is happening?” Yarris wondered. On the other side, Samantha didn’t wake up until five in the afternoon.
After she opened her eyes, she stared at the ceiling and was stunned for a while.
She felt a momentary confusion about the date and month.
As she slowly came to her senses, her instinct led her to reach for her phone.
Just as she was about to turn around, she realized that her whole body was sore.
The memories of last night gradually surfaced in her mind.
The next second, her face turned from pale to bright red.
She scanned the room with her eyes.
There were traces everywhere–on the bed, by the window, on the sofa, on the carpet, even in the bathroom.
Even the lingering scent in the room was still quite obvious.
She covered her head with the blanket and tried to console herself. Afterward, she slowly got out of bed, enduring the pain all over her body.
First, she took an hour’s shower in the bathroom to soothe her body.
After that, she opened the windows to let in some fresh air and got rid of all the remaining evidence. She then called the housekeeper to clean up the room.
Finally, she went downstairs to find something to eat
Downstairs, her two children were already waiting for her to eat together.
She stealthily glanced around like a thief in the night and breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed that–Francis was nowhere to be seen.
Upon seeing a table full of delicious food, Samantha realized that she had slept for an entire day and was starving.
She cursed Francis in her heart, calling him heartless.
In her next life, she swore she would be a man and make him unable to get out of bed.
“Mommy, Isaac called out softly, pulling Samantha back to reality.
“What?” Samantha was stunned. “What’s wrong, Isaac
Chapter 183
Isaac frowned. “Mommy, are you feeling unwell? Your complexion looks terrible.”
“No, no.” Samantha hurriedly denied, “I’m just a little hungry.”
“Oh…” Isaac picked up a piece of grilled pork ribs for Samantha and said. “Then you should eat more.”
“By the way. Mommy…” Isaac went on. “Ryland and I think the content in the first grade of elementary school is too easy. We want to skip a few grades and go to third or fourth grade.”
Samantha was rendered speechless,
The two children had already skipped kindergarten and jumped directly to the first grade of elementary school that
semester.
“Are they still not satisfied?” she thought.
However, when Samantha thought about their intelligence, she sighed and rubbed her forehead. “Let me discuss it with your daddy and see how we can arrange it for you.”
“No need, Mommy, Isaac replied calmly. “Tve already told the school teacher, and he agrees to transfer Ryland and me directly to third grade.”
Samantha raised an eyebrow, thinking, “Nowadays, kids are so independent?”
Why don’t you go to the fourth or fifth grade, then?” Samantha blurted out.
Isaac turned around and looked at Ryland, and their eyes exchanged an unspoken message.
Ryland involuntarily trembled, and the spoon he was using to eat soup accidentally fell onto the table.
“What’s going on? Samantha clearly sensed that something was amiss and looked at the two children with a puzzled expression.
Isaac continued to fix his gaze on Ryland, wearing an expression that said, “You’d better confess, or I’ll spill the beans
Ryland bit her lip and said in a very low voice, “Mommy, I want to go to the third grade…
“Oh?” Samantha had an instinctive feeling that something was not right.
Ryland was a child who always aimed high.
It was unlikely he would choose to stay in the third grade when he could easily go to a higher one.
It didn’t make sense.
There had to be something fishy going on.
Realizing that she had been busy with her competition for some time, she could see that her two children had some hidden agenda during that period.
Ryland obviously felt that his mother’s tone had become a bit colder. He grabbed the edge of the table and, in a somewhat junnatural tone, said, “Mommy, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up, so I want to stay in the third grade for a while and give it a try…
“Oh? Samantha’s voice dropped another notch, and her dark eyes stared straight at Ryland.
It made Ryland’s back tingle with discomfort. He couldn’t take it anymore.
Then, he suddenly closed his eyes and confessed, “Mommy, I’m sorry! I want to stay in the third grade because… there’s a

girl in there that I really like!”
Samantha was dumbfounded.
“Oh, my gosh!” she exclaimed inwardly. “Heavens, help me. What on earth is happening? This is my first time being a mother, and I have no idea how to handle this situation. Could someone please explain to me how a five–and–a–half–year- old child already knows what liking someone‘ means? How could he be having an early romance? How could he even resort to lying to his parents just to stay in a lower grade for the sake of a girl? Oh, dear!”
Samantha felt that she would have been better off sleeping soundly until the next morning.
“Why did I wake up halfway?” she wondered.
