Hello…” she said. “Josic, I bought you something nice to eat. Would you like to eat them? Leila smiled as she held out thebox of spicy chicken spaghetti. She had brought plenty of other tasty treats as well. “She can’t eat any of these, Samuel said, frowning. As if to shield Josie from the temptations of thefood, he held her in his arms.“Perhaps just a little?” Josie looked at Samuel pitifully. Samuel narrowed his eyes. “It’s useless to act cute. The doctor said you shouldn’t eat anything spicy” Tasked for one portion that isn’t spicy Leila felt sorry for Josie, who was unable to eat anythingpungent. “No pepper, no life, Nina said, chuckling. She turned to Leila and said. All right. I know this is foryourself. Now, move over.” Then, Nina took out the soup that Tania had made from its thermos and gave it to Josie. This is from Josie felt very warm, though a little nervous and unsure of how to respond to their kind gestures. Mom This is a pendant that I got from the Church of Tessia for you. The priest said it was consecrated tosymbolize good health and long life. Mandy hung the pendant necklace around Josie’s eeck and said.“Wear this. I’m sure you’ll get better.” Moved, Josie’s eyes were slightly red. Thank you, Nina… “Our mother asked us to give this to you. It’s a family heirloom She wouldn’t even pass it on to herdaughter. Her favoritism shows Leila handed Josie a box Josie shot Samuel a nervous glance, flustered by the sudden gifting of the Turner family heirloom. Shecould not bring herself to take it.
Samuel said earnestly, “My mother wants you to have this. Take it. She will be sad if you don’t want it.” Hearing that, Josie quickly took the box, fearing that her mother-in-law might be upset if she did notaccept the gift. “This one is from me.” Leila handed a small box to Josie. “Oh, no. You don’t have to give this to me, Leila Josie was getting increasingly nervous. She had notofficially confirmed her relationship with Samuel and was unsure if the treatment would work. Josie feared that she would be a burden to Samuel if her treatment was a failure.
“You can have it, Josie. It’s not something expensive. It was given to me by the church. It is a charm tokeep you safe. Leila insisted Nina raised her eyebrows at her superstitious sister and said, “Don’t worry. My gift will not be as cornyas theirs. I’ll give you something when you’ve finished your treatment Josar nodded and looked over to Samuel Samuel held Josie in his arms and let her collect the gifts, suggesting that she should take them fromhis sisters. After all they were not expensive gifts. 14 O Chapter 193 The heirloom bracelet passed down from his grandmother was merely worth around 900 thousanddollars. Jo, I hope you can be happy Josie nodded. She was so moved that she could not speak.The whole family sat around the coffee table for dinner. They did not have so many rules of diningetiquette. They simply sat on the floor. “We’re honored to have the privilege of tasting the food Samuel booked. We would never be able to if itnovelbin
wasn’t for Josie.” Nina was the first to tease Samuel. “That’s right. He hasn’t cooked a grain of rice for us since we raised him.” Leila chimed in, smiling. Mandy was a little cold and distant. She ate quietly, nodding from time to time. “This tastes likesomething you would have after giving birth.” Samuel looked at his sisters with disdain. “Do not speak while you eat. Can you be quiet for amoment?” Josie held back her laughter as she watched their banter. She sat crossed-legged and had her mealwith a joyful heart. Before meeting Samuel, she could never have imagined living in such happy, heartwarming times. Josie thought that she would not adapt well to a new environment and would not be able to lead anormal life. But it turned out better than she thought. While Josie was lost in her thoughts, a sauteed broccoli fell on her clothes. Samuel immediatelyhanded her a napkin. Although the trivial details could seem insignificant, Josie felt appreciated. Samuel cared deeply for her. Out of kindness, Leila suggested, “Jo, I think you should quit your job and focus on taking care ofyourself, even when you’re done with treatment. It’s not like we couldn’t afford to give you good life.” Josie’s hand that was holding the bowl of oatmeal froze for a moment. She was inexplicably afraidwhen she thought about what would become of her if she stopped working. She dreaded being a housewife and accomplishing nothing in life. That kind of life would only be bleak, just like her previous marriage with Henry. “If things are going well for her at work, why must she stop working? She is contributing to society byworking. The country has put so much effort into nurturing talented people, and we must repay society.”Nina retorted. “Besides, Josie is highly if you were to stay home educated. She was a genius during her school days, unlike an underachiever like you, Leila. It’s tines,Josie is highly
“I’m an underachiever? I wonder who was complaining that work was too busy and that she neededme. Do you think I stay home only to live off of my parents?” Leila retaliated. The two sisters got into aheated argument. “You two are unbelievable… Mandy said with disdain. She was tired of seeing Nina and Leila fightwhenever they saw each other. Leila was not as experienced as Nina. “Jo, come to work at Clusia Media Group. You can help Samuel qut,” Nina said, changing the subject. “She’s been helping me all the time, Nina, Samuel said earnestly ||| Chapter 195 Josie thought Samuel was helping her to get out of the awkward situation. She smiled and kept silent. Π This oatmeal porridge is really good. I think Samuel should be the homemaker. He’s so good atcooking. He could even be a professional cook, Mandy said, remarking sarcastically from time to time. Samuel glanced at Mandy and said, “Not in a million years.” Other than Josie cooking, he had never done any cooking at home. “Sam has come a long way since those three years he went abroad. It makes our heart ache. Ninasaid. She really did think that Samuel’s cooking was good. “Samuel had never gotten his hands dirty to help around the house. He would not even step into thekitchen. However, he had learned how to cook and do the laundry when he was sent to Muprary byGrandpa, Leila said quietly. Josie felt a little embarrassed hearing that.

Although the scars were not very visible. Josie caught a glimpseof them Those must be the scars from the fights he got into during his time abroad.
Samuel had been out of the country for three years. He had almost lost touch with the Turner family. To be honest, in those three years. I thought Samuel would never come home. He had no contact withus and had never asked us for money. We had no idea how he was surviving. Nina said. “Nina, that’s enough. Samuel cut Nina off, worried that talking about his past would make Josie feelburdened “Josie, I hope you don’t mind us. We are a big family, and it might get a bit chaotic and noisy.
