Lexi took a few steps back. As she did, she assured Luke, “Uncle Lake, mune systems isn’t powerful, so I can’t get too close to you when you’re sick. Mommy will be sad it i catch cold, and I don’t want to make her upset.”

Linda’s face showed her exasperation. She felt increasingly helpless when it came to Samson and Lexi.

Lexi was such an active and Evely child, and with Samson’s protection, she was particularly bold. Sometimes, her imaginative ideas could really catch Linda off guard.

“Good evening, Mr. Hunter. Have you had dinner? Samson asked with a smile, his dark eyes fixed on Lale. He casually grabbed same candles from the table and put them into Lexi’s pocket, although they had already cater
