Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson)

Chapter 349

"Alright, alright. Mommy's right here watching with you," Linda said.

The family of three sat happily together in the living room, watching a cartoon on the TV.

Earlier that morning, William had come by the house and accidentally left behind a document. He only realized it when he got back home, so he hurriedly returned to retrieve it. As soon as he stepped inside the house, he saw the heartwarming scene.

Every time William came here, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was an outsider.

Why did he always feel this way?

Because every time he visited, he always seemed to arrive at the wrong moment. Linda and Samson were always there, spending time together with Lexi.

They were a perfect family of three, while he felt like a rat lurking in the shadows, watching others live the life he could never have. The stark contrast was enough to break William's composure.

He lingered in the doorway for a while before Lexi noticed him.

"Uncle William, why are you here? Did you come to watch TV with me?" she asked.

Both Linda and Samson turned their heads at the same time.

Their synchronized movement struck William like a sharp pang of sadness.

"Good evening, Lexi." He forced a smile, doing his best not to let her sense his inner turmoil.

"I'm not here to watch TV. Remember this morning when I brought some documents? I accidentally left one here, so I came back to get it."

Hearing that William had left something behind, Linda quickly called for the nanny.

"Ms. Flores, could you check Lexi's room to see if there's a document?"

Lexi usually stayed in her room in the mornings, rarely coming down to the living room unless both Linda and Samson were home.

It was only on weekends that she spent the entire day downstairs in the activity area. Most of the time, she remained in her room.

Her grandparents had spoiled her by expanding her bedroom, doubling its size. Beyond her sleeping space was now a spacious playroom filled with toys-a personal paradise that Lexi adored.

Initially, she would come downstairs when called, but soon, she preferred to let others seek her out. After getting ready for the day, she would relax in her room, waiting for the nanny to bring her breakfast.

Linda and Samson didn't mind Lexi's behavior. They didn't think that they needed to. They believed she should be allowed to do whatever made her happy.

Ms. Flores soon returned with the document. "Mr. Wilson, here's the document you left in the playroom this morning."

William took the document. "Thank you. I'll be on my way now. And Lexi, don't stay up too late."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Lexi barely glanced up from her activity and waved casually. "Okay! Goodbye, Uncle William.

As Linda turned to watch him leave, her eyes met William's. The eyes that had once drawn her in were now dull, lacking the spark they used to have.

Perhaps it was the weight of maturity or the years that had worn William down, changing him into someone unrecognizable.

Once William left, Linda glanced at the clock and instructed the nanny to take Lexi upstairs for her to get ready for bed.

Samson remained beside her in the living room.

"Linda, you still haven't forgotten him, have you?" His tone was firm.
