Chapter 247 The Ultimate Test
"Dad, why are you sighing? Shouldn't we bless them?"
"Bless... Alas!"
Anthony sighed again. "We have arrived at the Lewis Villa, where are you?"
"Really, are you here? We're in the back garden, coming right over!"
Mandy hung up the phone, quickly told Richard and Samantha, and went to the Lewis Villa together.
When Samantha appeared in front of everyone holding Richard's arm, everyone was stunned.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Maria quickly pulled Samantha aside. "There are so many people watching, it's inappropriate to be so touchy!"
"Why is it inappropriate? Who said that the elderly are not allowed to date?"
Samantha decisively returned to Richard's side and introduced to everyone, "I'm telling you, Richard is my husband now, no matter whether you agree or not, we are getting together anyway."
"Mom... Isn't this adding to the chaos?" Maria panicked. She pulled Samantha aside again. "Mom, listen to me..."
Samantha shook off Maria angrily. "What's there to listen? You're just embarrassed of me, you think I'm too old to be dating, but I... I've been lonely and need someone too..."
Having said that, Samantha cried aggrievedly. "Since your father died, I have been living alone in the village. I wake up alone in the morning, sleep alone at night, eat alone, and do everything alone. Do you know how hard it is to be alone?"
In an instant, Maria's eyes were moist, and she said with tears in her eyes, "How could I not know? I'm a widow too, aren't I?
"Mom, if you feel lonely, live with me from now on. I will take care of you and stay with you from morning to night. I will buy you what you want to eat, and I will accompany you wherever you want to go. I will never let you be alone. Can you leave Richard?"
Samantha was very disappointed. "Maria, I am your mother, I have dedicated my whole life to you, and finally found a spouse I like, can't you sincerely give me your blessings?"
Maria persuaded patiently. "Mom, it's not that I don't bless you, it's that Richard has someone in his heart, we can't break up others for the sake of not being alone..."
Samantha looked at Richard with tears in her eyes. "Just say it, if you still think about her in your heart and still can't let go, I will definitely not make things difficult for you. Anyway, after so many years alone, I'm used to it..."
"Samantha..."
Richard held Samantha's hand tightly. "Don't cry, don't cry, I have decided to be with you, and I will never think about others again, the past is the past.
"You are right, I should give myself a new life. I have never enjoyed the warmth of a home in my life. It is time to have a home. As long as you don't dislike me for being poor, I will live with you for the rest of my life."
"Okay, let's live together!" Samantha was touched and hugged Richard.
Maria, Ivy, and Alexander felt bad seeing such a result.
They had just found Annabel, and Samantha suddenly got together with Richard. Why did things always happen so coincidentally?
Ivy finally knew why Annabel was crying behind the stove. She must have seen the scene in the back garden from the roof.
Although Samantha was her godmother and a good person, she really hoped Annabel would be with Richard.
"Grandpa, I have to ask you something, you must answer me truthfully."
"What?" Richard asked.
Ivy said, "If... If Annabel is still alive, would you still be with Samantha?"
All eyes turned to Richard.
Richard suddenly felt uneasy, was this the ultimate test?
He thought only young people would have to be tested by the elders when they dated, now he finally knew that reverse would happen too!
