Timothy's eyes lit up as he raised his eyebrows slightly. He then drew Samantha closer to him and walked in.
When the three of them walked to the living room, Samantha asked Alan, "Would you like anything to drink, Dr. Sherwood?"
"Just water will do."
"Okay, make yourself at home."
After saying that, she glanced somewhat worriedly at Timothy. He just so happened to be looking at her as well and the two of them made eye contact.
The man smirked, as if he had already read her mind.
Samantha felt a little embarrassed to have her thoughts read like that, but as a precaution, she bit the bullet and said, "Well, Dear, could you entertain Dr. Sherwood for a moment..."
Whether she liked it or not, they were in a situation where both sides had a common interest. If she wanted to maintain her reputation as Mrs. Barker, it was only natural that Timothy would not undermine her in front of an outsider.
