"How? But how?" he asked again.

Samuel and Arthur just took a deep breath and groaned. They never thought a guy like him who has everything doesn't know the meaning of love.

"How come you didn't know? Haven't you loved anyone before?" Arthur asked him.

Samuel just sighed.

"No except for my mom." he answered.

"What do you feel about your mom? What kind of love is that?" Arthur asked.

Alistair just thought about it for a while and took a deep breath.

"Care, love, attention, when she got into an accident and fell into a coma, I don't know what to do. I had to risk my life marrying Gina because her grandpa said he was going to help me with my mom. I would do anything for her just to live." he said.

Samuel just nodded.

"As you can see, you were like that the same with Gina. Don't you know? You are doing and risking everything for her. Your love for your family was like your love for her. Don't you think you really love her?" he asked him,

Did Rio lend you some money?" she asked him.George shook his head making her sigh very sad."I went to Gina and asked for money, but she wanted me to tell her the reason why I needed money. I couldn't tell her. I just couldn't. I don't want her to get mad at me and judge me.

She felt very weak upon hearing that already."So, where do we ask for help?" she groaned."I don't know. I will find a way and find someone who can lend me money. I will fix this. She was right. I should have coordinated with that asshole in the first place. I knew he just planned this all along. He tricked me saying I can do whatever I want with the money, but in the end, he was going to take it back." he closed his eyes.Meredi

She just left but quickly called Gina's number to tell her about it. "What? And why were they talking about granny's money? I don't think they need money for something." Gina said. "That is what I am not sure, sissy. I think we need to find out the reason why they were talking about her money. Dad and mom, they looked so scared and nervous a while ago. I think something was wrong." Charlotte said. Gina doesn't know what to do or say. Alis already told her to stop worrying and thinking about things because her belly is getting bigger. The doctor also told her to avoid stress and anything. "Charlotte, just watch over mom and dad, especially dad. If he acts strangely, we need to find about it." she said.

He seemed nervous watching Lincoln's bodyguards standing at the corners. Lincoln couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's done. They will not continue to negotiate with him. You don't have to worry about it anymore, Tasha." James said. Tasha just thanked him and smiled. "Dad, don't you think we couldn't notice? You are so close to that guy! You don't even know what kind of guy he is!" Charlotte said to her dad. She just couldn't take it anymore, because he even invited Lincoln to their mansion, and Gina was very mad about it. "Charlotte, I know you are just worried about me, but I can handle myself." George said. "Honey, why don't you just hear your children? Gina said to you already that he's dangerous. What if he is going to hurt you or what?" she groaned.

"Where are you going?" Samuel interfere. Gina and Alis both gasped. "You are going to talk to George about Lincoln? Nah, I don't think he will listen to you as well." Samuel said. Gina just groaned. "Grandpa, can you go and try talking to him? I don't want him to see Lincoln and talk to him. That guy is a danger." she sighed. "Well, if you already talked to him and haven't yet agreed to stop seeing Lincoln, well, I must say he really doesn't want to stop himself to." Samuel said. Gina and Alis just decided not to say anything then after what Grandpa Sam said. "What happened?" Tasha asked her. "Grandpa was right. We can't force dad to stop seeing that guy." she closed her eyes. Tasha felt very terrible about it. "I am really sorry, Gina. It was really my fault. I don't know how to face you guys an
