Chapter 1524 - The thirty-six stratagems
Samantha gasped, "What do you mean?"
"I used to make money to save money, now I make money to spend on you, if you leave, what's the
point of me making money?"
Samantha did not expect Luke to say such a thing, and she was stuck on the spot for a while, not
knowing what to say.
Only after a long time did she huff, "Don't think I will forgive you just because you say that, Luca, bitter
tricks don't work on me.
With that she turned over and went back to sleep, ignoring Luca.
Luca said nothing, but looked at her back and sighed languidly.
At night, Samantha slept with the baby in her arms and Luca kept watch, probably because he was
afraid she would run away, so Luca stayed in the same room with her.
But Samantha would not let him sleep in the bed, so he had to stay close to the bed.
When Samantha woke up from her nap and tried to go to the bathroom, she saw Luca lying on the
edge of the bed.
He had been like this for days, not sleeping well , with a cold, stern look around his eyes, his scruff
sticking out, his hair in disarray, and the scar he already had on his face, which now looked even more
horrible if untouched.
At the sight of the scar, Samantha's hand involuntarily reached out.
When she was about to touch Luca, Samantha's hand suddenly stopped and she was about to
withdraw it.
Snap!
Luca suddenly snapped his hand around her slender wrist and opened his eyes to look at her.
The reaction made Samantha's heart skip half a beat.
"Let go!"
She tried to pull her hand back and Luca used some force to sit up in the process.
"Do you hate me that much?" She asked a little sadly, "Don't you even touch my face anymore? Or do
you think I'm ugly with the scars on my face and regret marrying me?"
What? What is this about scars on his face?
"What kind of joke are you talking about? Your face was like that when I met you, so if I resented your
scars, why would I be with you?"
"Then why do you want to leave me?" Luca squeezed her hand tightly, his voice low, "You couldn't
accept such an ugly, but you accepted it, and now you leave me because of a little misunderstanding?"
"A little misunderstanding?" Samantha looked at him amused, "You still think I'm making a big deal out
of it? It wasn't even important that you left me, it was just a small misunderstanding, too small to be
true?"
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean?" Samantha snapped."
At the end of the sentence, Samantha's eyes reddened and her nose snapped up, tears almost coming
out of her eyes as she turned her head at the crucial moment, not allowing to see her in such a state.
But Luke still saw the tear drops roll down her face and hit the back of her hand.
Seeing Samantha in that state made Luca's heart pound, which was extremely upset.
Without saying much, he stepped forward and hugged Samantha's shoulders directly, resting his chin
against her head and murmuring.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, don't cry, I didn't mean to say those words before."
"It's my fault, I'm so useless, I can't keep you and I always make you angry."
He kept apologizing to Samantha, who at first only shed tears, but the more she wiped them away, the
more she cried.
In all her time with Luke, Samantha had never been sad, but whenever she was sad she told herself it
was nothing, always cuddling, and then thinking it was all over.
It was probably because this had gone on for so long that she could not get over it now.
That night, Samantha burst into tears, pounding Luca's shoulders as she cried, "I should never have
been with you in the first place, I should have just aborted the baby, why did I freak out and stay with
you? Was it just because I had sex with you? I am obviously an open-minded woman, why would I do
something so stupid? Isn't it nice to find someone who doesn't like me and likes me? Why would I want
to be with you?"
As she cried, she let out all the emotions in her heart and the words she normally did not have the
chance to say.
Luke was so shocked to hear this, and so scared that his explanation would upset her, that he could
only hold her close.
Eventually Samantha fell asleep in his arms, tired from crying, and Luca had to carry her back to bed
and tuck her in.
When he had finished tidying up, Luca looked up and saw the baby sleeping beside her, staring at the
scene with big, deep, bright eyes, as if he knew what was happening.
Luca did not know when she would wake up, but he reached out his hand and picked up his son in
case he suddenly cried out and disturbed Samantha.
Normally, he would have cried when he picked up his baby, but now he was so good that he carried
him outside quietly in his arms.
After closing the door behind him, Luke exhaled heavily and looked at the little one in his arms,
reaching out to caress his face.
"Baby, if you are really so obedient, help your daddy not to let your mommy go."
He really did not know what to do to convince Samantha.
The little one shook his head and stared at him curiously, Luke laughed bitterly, "Forget it, what do you
know you are just a child."
After not going to the office for days, Cristian called Luca to inquire.
Luca apologized and clearly explained that he had some family matters to deal with and could not go to
the office for the time being.
Cristian was silent for a long time and then suddenly asked, "Did you have a fight?"
Hearing this, Luca paused for a moment and finally admitted helplessly.
"Hm." Cristian mocked him without conscience, and then asked, "What about the time to fix it? How
long will it take?"
Luca could only sigh thinking about the way Samantha had cried last night.
"I'm not sure, Mr. Cristian I'm sorry, if it's not possible, the company you see or ......"
"Luca, are you a man or not?" Cristian suddenly interrupted him.
"What?"
"Don't you know how to persuade?"
Luca: "......"
"Have you heard anything about thirty-six stratagems?
Are you going to abuse yourself if you can't be persuaded? Can you do the bitter meat trick?"
Luca's eyebrow tails jumped as he heard the unimaginable proposition from Cristian's mouth, "Cristian,
you are ......" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"What? I share my personal experience with you, and you still don't listen to it?"
Luca did not expect Cristian to be this kind of person. Was he able to use a tactic through 36 tricks
when Serena was angry with him?
Cause sympathy?
How could this be done?
