Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Tina didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation with a nod. “Sure thing!”

“Good. I’ll pick you up on that day. Are you going home now? Do you need a ride?” John asked.

“There’s no need for that. I didn’t come here on my own.” Tina waved the offer away. “By the way, Ihaven’t returned your jacket yet…” “You don’t have to worry about that. On the day of the banquet, I’llpick you up. You can always return the jacket to me by then,” John said kindly.

Tina then set a meeting time with John before waving him goodbye. She walked all the way to thehospital’s exit, feeling as if she was still stuck in a trance. Victor asked coldly, “Miss Lynd, is thereanywhere else you’d like to go?” “Nope. Let’s go home,” Tina replied.

The moment she returned to the mansion and entered her room, a notification sound blared from herphone. It was a text message from John, asking if she had already reached home safely. At that moment,Tina finally realized what exactly happened to her. Good heavens, she must be out of her mind! Sheactually found herself a brother! Tina had only met John a few times in the past, yet she was daringenough to say such things right in his face. Oddly enough, John agreed to become her older brotherinstead of being disgusted by her blatant rudeness. After reading John’s text message, a strange feelingstarted spreading from the depths of Tina’s heart. She couldn’t believe that she had an actual familymember now

Not daring to keep John waiting any longer, Tina quickly texted back to reassure him.

The next few days went by peacefully and happily for her. It was obvious that the Lynd family had takenher words to heart. They didn’t hesitate to dump a huge sum of money into the reconstruction efforts asthey wanted to finish rebuilding the orphanage in a week. As a result, the orphans living there had asignificant upgrade in their meal quality. When Tina went to visit Madam Langford, the latter was quick todiscover her happy smile. “What is it, Tina? Did something good happen to you? Why do you look sohappy?” the elderly woman couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s nothing. It’s a secret!” Tina teased.

Madam Langford became grumpy the moment she heard Tina’s answer. She was about to throw atantrum on the spot. “What secret is it? Why can’t I know?”

Tina quickly did her best to appease the elderly woman. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I didn’t mean to hide itfrom you. It’s just that I’ll have to wait for some time before I can let you in on the

secret.”

She mustn’t let anyone else know about her newly-formed relationship with John.

Tina still felt like she was living in a dream. The moment she was to tell anyone about that secret, shemight wake up and realize it wasn’t true. There was also a chance that John might regret his decisionand everything would return to square one.

“Alright, then.” Madam Langford was satisfied with that answer. She then whispered, “I have a surprisefor you as well, but I won’t tell you anything about it. You’ll replace out when the time comes.”

“Really? Then I’ll be looking forward to it!” Tina nodded obediently. “What would you like to have fordinner, Grandma? I’ll start preparing right now.”

“I love eating whatever you prepare,” Madam Langford replied with a smile as she watched Tina leaveher bedside. She was immensely pleased by the latter’s mannerisms. In her heart, she had alreadyviewed Tina as the future Mrs. Langford.

Madam Langford dialed a phone number right away before saying, “Hello, Samuel. I’ve changed mymind. Not only will I be attending the banquet, but I also want to give Tina a surprise. You have to workwith me on this, alright?”

Time passed quickly. Soon, it was the day of the banquet. One evening, Tina received a call from John.“Tina, are you ready? I’ve just reached your house.”

Tina didn’t expect that John would show up as promised. She replied happily, “I’m going downstairsnow.”

Very soon, she spotted a car parked outside the mansion. Once she got into the car, she returned thejacket, which she had folded neatly, to John. There was a small box sitting atop of the jacket as well. “Mr.Carter, I’ve also made you some handmade desserts. You can taste them if you don’t mind,” she toldhim.
