The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 2163

"Mom, let's head inside first. Tansy is still injured."

Seeing his usually outgoing mother so stunned she couldn't even speak properly, Donald spoke up helplessly.

"Injured?"

Samantha glanced at Tansy's bandaged arm, instantly furrowing her brow as she turned to give orders. "Tidy up a guest room and call the doctor over."

"Tell the kitchen to adjust the menu and add extra portions for the patient and the child."

"Also..." Samantha rattled off a bunch of instructions, her brain short-circuiting as she struggled to keep up. "I'll let you know if I think of anything else."

"Oh, right."

Catching herself, she added one more thing. "Remember to prepare Western cuisine."

Her new daughter-in-law probably wasn't used to their local dishes.

"Then..." Samantha was still completely dazed as she stuttered, "The girl is fragile, hurry and take her inside so she doesn't catch a chill."

"Got it."

Donald nodded, supporting Tansy.

"Hector is quite heavy, your arms will get tired holding him. Let me take him."

"No." Samantha blocked Donald's hand, staring at Hector with a beaming smile as she spoke softly. "I'll hold him."

She then carefully asked the little boy, "Hector, Grandma is going to carry you, okay?"

She finally had her own grandson to play with. She wouldn't have to fight a crowd just to hold Fred and Ophie anymore.

"No." Hector shook his head, struggling to get out of Samantha's embrace.

"Huh?"

Samantha's smile turned awkward. She figured the child wasn't letting her hold him because he was shy around strangers.

A wave of disappointment washed over her.

Tansy and Donald's expressions also tightened.

Just as they were feeling confused.

Hector suddenly took a step forward, voluntarily grabbing Samantha's hand. He looked up at her with his handsome little face and said softly, "Grandma, hold hands."

"Hector thinks he's too heavy to be carried, so he just wants you to hold his hand."

Tansy breathed a sigh of relief, explaining gently.

"Really?"

Samantha quickly held out her hand, gazing down at the well-behaved, gorgeous little boy, her heart practically melting. "How are you so considerate? Tansy, you've raised him wonderfully."
