TRICKED INTO MARRIAGE - Season 1 Episode 99

The person Timothy took care of was someone that he loved…

Samantha could not help herself from thinking about the time she blocked the bullet for him. During the time she was in a coma and had to be hospitalized, Timothy took care of her every single day.

Her unconscious state meant that she was unable to see how Timothy took care of her, but she managed to pester the nurse into describing everything to her.

It was likely that he had wiped her body too.

From then onward, she never saw Timothy taking care of anyone else.

In that case, was she the person Timothy was referring to?

Samantha’s heartbeat unwittingly skipped a beat.

Then again, she had been separated from Timothy for two years and knew nothing about him when she was abroad. Could it be one of his female companions that he took care of during those two years? Or could it have been Old Madam Barker?

Old Madam Barker was undoubtedly Timothy’s favorite family member!

When that thought occurred to her, the small flame that was burning in Samantha’s heart started dwindling and she no longer dared to think about it anymore.

The sudden sound of footsteps was heard at the door of the ward. Samantha looked over instinctively and saw Aunt Julia assisting Old Madam Barker in.

They had shown up just as Samantha was thinking of them!

Samantha was surprised at first, but after coming to her senses, she said hurriedly, “Grandma, Aunt Julia, why are you here?”

As she said that, she stepped forward to take over from Aunt Julia and lend support to Old Madam Barker as the old lady walked on.

Old Madam Barker patted her hand gently and smiled kindly, “I ought to come and visit Corey, and besides, you’ve been in the hospital for so many days. The food must not be very good, so I told Aunt Julia to make something delicious and nutritious. I brought it over for you so you’ll have better meals.”

Samantha smiled in gratitude.

She knew that what Old Madam Barker said was true, but the old lady surely had another purpose—it was probably to come over and see for herself whether Samantha had gotten along with Timothy.

That was probably why Timothy insisted on staying. It was to be prepared for Old Madam Barker’s sudden spot check.

After Old Madam Barker walked in and saw that Timothy was wiping Corey’s body, she smiled uncontrollably and felt pleased that her words had finally gotten to Timothy.

Aunt Julia’s mouth widened in surprise when she saw the situation and looked at Timothy doing something that could be said to be beneath him.

In all those years, the number of times that the pampered Timothy would personally take up the task of caring for something could be counted on one hand!

It seems that Timothy did have feelings for Samantha, otherwise it would be impossible for him to show such care for Corey.

She was really in awe of the old lady for how deeply the latter understood Timothy’s heart. Anything and everything was picked up with crystal clear clarity by those sharp eyes!

…

Samantha helped Old Madam Barker settle down on the sofa.

Aunt Julia opened the five-tiered lunchbox she had brought along, and set them out of the table one by one. Then, she lifted the lid of the herbal soup tonic and poured it into two bowls.

After Timothy wiped Corey’s body, he went to the bathroom to wash his hands before walking over.

He took his seat right Samantha, although it was unknown whether he did so intentionally or unintentionally.

The sofa had little space to begin with after Samantha had sat there with Old Madam Barker. As soon as Timothy sat down, Samantha could feel his body very near hers.

Samantha felt a little uncomfortable and her first instinct was to try and distance herself a little from him. However, Timothy seemed to see through her thoughts as he immediately put his arms around her slender waist, squeezing her soft flesh lightly with his fingertips.

That action caused Samantha’s body to stiffen and she looked at Timothy in disbelief.

Why was he being a rascal there?

Timothy’s dark eyes not only made eye contact with her, but even his handsome face started approaching closer. His fingertips tucked a lock of hair behind her ears and his thin lips moved closer to her ears, where he then whispered three words, “Play your role!”

The man’s warm breath blew against Samantha’s ears, causing her to get goosebumps all over. She had no choice but to restrain herself because she had already agreed to it before.

Samantha’s eyeballs began turning in their sockets. Her closeness to him left her fearing that she would inadvertently expose the charade.

Soon after, she forced a sweet smile and hurriedly scooped up a piece of beef. Using the act of feeding Timothy as a pretext, she managed to seamlessly distance herself from him.

She brought the beef to Timothy’s mouth and spoke very gently, “H-Here you go, Dear! Ah!”

Timothy’s lips curled up in a smile and he cooperated by opening his mouth and accepting her gesture.

He even jerked his chin to ask for some chicken and said carefreely, “I’d like some of that.”

‘You’re pretty demanding, aren’t you! Don’t you have any hands of your own?’

Samantha cursed in her heart, but continued to maintain that sweet smile on her face. Like the good wife that she was, she scooped up the chicken and fed it to him.

Timothy opened his mouth and accepted it while his dark eyes stared at her constantly.

For some odd reason, Samantha had the misperception that he was eating her instead of the chicken…

When Old Madam Barker saw this, she said unhappily, “You little brat. All you do is order Sammy around. Men should be caring for their wives. What kind of a husband are you?”

Timothy raised his eyelids and cast a sideways glance at Old Madam Barker. He seemed to have accepted her admonishment with an open heart and finally picked up the cutlery to take the food himself.

Samantha praised Old Madam Barker in secret, for the old lady really was on her side all the time!

To Samantha’s marked surprise, Timothy’s intention was not to feed himself, but rather to feed her! He brought the food to her lips and mimicked what she said earlier, “Here you go, Darling. I’ll feed you too. Ah!”

Samantha froze.

Old Madam Barker nodded happily. “There we go. That’s how a good husband should be!”

Samantha started to suspect that Old Madam Barker was taking both sides. On that occasion, she was clearly standing on Timothy’s side…

With everyone’s gazes on her, she had no choice but to continue with the act.

All Samantha could do was open her mouth, put on a sweet act, then ate the food that Timothy fed her.

He fed her several dishes in a row, but as Samantha ate them, she noticed something amiss.

She had a distaste of ginger and generally did not eat any dishes containing ginger. However, the food Timothy fed her did not contain any ginger, causing her to wonder if it was just a coincidence or whether he did it on purpose.

It was probably just a coincidence.

Samantha’s appetite was small and she got full after eating some dishes and a few mouthfuls of rice. It did not take long for her to set down her cutlery.

Timothy glanced at her from the side and his black eyes settled on her face.

Samantha had a puzzled look when she sensed his gaze. Could it be that she was not allowed to eat too little? Even so, she really could not take another bite!

Timothy placed down his cutlery and stretched out his long fingers toward her.

Samantha was just about to ask him what he was doing when his fingertips landed on her lips and picked off a rice grain.

It turned out to be just that. A little blush appeared on Samantha’s cheeks.

The next second, Timothy put the rice grain directly into his mouth and ate it.
