The Devil's Love For The Heiress novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Hidden Motives

The Wright family and Carlos’ guests were having tea or coffee, nearly concluding their dinner. The joyous gathering had dropped Carlos’ sadness over the DNA test, and while everyone was chatting merrily, Alexander’s eyes were glued to his phone. Eventually, unable to hold back his curiosity, he turned to Carlos and asked, “Did Savannah contact you, by the way?” Carlos and Kate were whispering to each other when Alexander spoke. The Devil turned to his friend, lifting his brow. He responded, “Why? She has no reason to contact me.”

Carlos crossed his arms at Alexander and inquired, “Did you contact her? I hope you used a VPN.”

“Relax, I did,” Alexander replied. “I’m always playing it safe.” When Carlos did not probe any further, Alexander suggested, “Can you text her, man? I checked on her if she was feeling better, but she did not answer.” Carlos chuckled and reminded him, “Alex, it’s probably two AM in Ireland right now.” “Yeah, I know, but I texted her in the morning,” Alexander revealed. “I also called her, but she did not answer.” “Maybe she is busy, and if she does not answer you, you can always ask her during the Wimbledon tournament,” Carlos suggested. “That’s not too long of a wait.” “Right,” Alexander said, his fingers raking through his curly blond hair. Just when Carlos thought his friend was done asking about Savannah, Alexander leaned in, pleading, “Can you call her tomorrow?” With his mouth open, Carlos was about to throw on objection, but he sighed and agreed,” Okay. I’ll check on her. Happy?” with a nod, Alexander said, “I’m just worried she was still traumatized by everything you know.”

“Yeah, whatever helps you convince yourself,” Carlos said, smirking.

Alexander frowned at him.

Kate and Carlos were leading toward the front door. Lemuel and Alexander were already outside, waiting by the car. Suddenly, Samantha came walking down the staircase, holding a small purse. Two maids walked down with her, carrying pieces of luggage and Carlos number two. She said, “Carlos, son, I’ll send my daughter to you to keep you company and keep those bear hugs coming.” After urging the maids to walk down faster, she told, “I had most of your clothes packed. Your laptop bag is here, then you might need your big bear -”

“Mom? What are you doing with iny stuff?” Kate asked, bemused.

“Well, isn’t it obvious? I’ın kicking you out of the house! You are old enough to live on your

own, and what better way to have your independence than to send you over to Carlos’ place while he is in Braeton? You can maintain to offer endless hugs?” Samantha appeared to speak decently, but at the end of her lines, she winked at Kate. Kate chuckled and approached her mother, saying, “Mom, I don’t need all my stuff at Carlos’ home He bought me clothes, shoes, and all my needed skin care products.” “Really?” Samantha’s eyes widened in delight. It reminded her of how Ethan bought her clothes for the first time. She complimented, “That’s nice.”

She glanced at Carlos, saying, “That’s nice, Carlos.” Carlos chuckled. He put his hands on his waist, answering, “Thank you, aunt.” Looking at what her mother had brought down from her room, Kate said, “Perhaps just my bear and my laptop, but you can put everything back.”

“Okay, sweetie,” Samantha said. She ordered the maids back to Kate’s room while Kate collected the ones that she meant to bring to Carlos’ home.

Returning her regard to the couple, Samantha recommended, “Both of you, take a good rest – not so good, just don’t stay up until four in the morning,” Samantha said, chuckling at the end of her words

“Mom! Please,” Kate reacted while her face burned. She quickly moved closer to her mother, adjusting the strength of her voice. “Don’t talk like this in front of Carlos.” “What? Why?” Samantha objected, appearing to look gullible. Then she reminded, “Oh, and before you go Here is your refill.”

“My refill?” Kate asked, bemused.

“Yes, sweetie Your refill. I imagined you had used up the last ones I gave you,” Samantha emphasized while resting the purse in Kate’s hand. She said, “Try to use them up faster.” Kate looked down at the small bag She had an inkling, but she still opened the purse and took a prek. When she saw several packs of condoms, she gasped. She covered her mouth with her hand, muffling her giggles. Kate asked her mother, “Mom, whiat is this? These look new.”
