Divorce Anxiety Chapter 363Chapter 363 Here For Your Money
Kathleen reached the door to Samuel’s office and announced her arrival with a knock on the door.
The door was flung open soon enough.
Samuel was the one who opened the door for her. “The next time you’re here, don’t forget you’re not
obliged to knock.”
Hearing that, Kathleen was stumped momentarily before responding, “No, that’d be too impolite.”
Samuel gestured for her to step inside.
As she entered the office, her curiosity got the better of her. “Was I that ill-mannered in the past?”
“No, of course not.” Samuel’s voice was as deep as a bottomless pit.
“That’s good, then. I really don’t wish to be despised because of my attitude.” A sigh of relief came from
Kathleen’s mouth.
It was heart-rending for Samuel to hear those words, though. “No matter what others say about you,
you’re one fine lady.”
Gentle, soft, unyielding, and brave.
Samuel’s praise left Kathleen dumbstruck for a second. “Thanks for the compliment.”
Staring blankly at her, Samuel said, “Give me a minute. I’ll settle something and then we can go meet
that person.”
“Had I known you’re still busy, I wouldn’t have come up here,” grumbled Kathleen.“Huh? Why?” Samuel’s handsome face froze as he heard that.
Would she lose a limb for waiting a little while for me?
“You know, just now, I saw Xienna downstairs.” Kathleen seemed to be insinuating something. “She
was very worried about you, and she thinks I’m harming you.”
Upon hearing that, Samuel knitted his brows. “Should I be held responsible for her actions?” An
unfathomable grimace inundated his good looks.
Noticing him flying off the handle, Kathleen kept her lips buttoned and scanned her surroundings.
In an instant, her brows were all bunched up tightly. “During my last visit, I asked the doctor about my
condition. She claimed that my kind of amnesia could be improved pretty easily if I were to frequently
have contact with the people and places I’m accustomed to, but why am I not sensing any familiarities
when I step in here?”
Samuel’s hoarse voice came in response. “That’s because you were seldom here.”
Nodding, Kathleen agreed to his statement, “Well, I can’t debate that. This is your workplace, after all.”
A feeling of bitterness crept into Samuel’s heart.
I should’ve allowed her to visit my office as often as she could back then. Ugh! It’s all thanks to that
Nicolette.
Even so, Kathleen didn’t think too much, which only made Samuel feel all the more anguished.
Her current demeanor only meant one thing —there wasn’t even one bit of affection left for him.
Had she still harbored feelings for him, she would’ve long figured out the truth behind this. Never would
she appear all calm and collected right before him.Right then, Samuel’s phone chimed.
He picked up the call, only to hear Xienna sounding ever so aggrieved.
“Mr. Macari, I’m here to tell you something very important, but the security guards won’t let me
through.”
That caused Samuel to raise a question. “What matter could you possibly have? You can say it over
the phone right now.”
“Kathleen must’ve said something to you, didn’t she?” A wave of anger erupted like a volcano within
Xienna’s heart. “Don’t listen to her, Mr. Macari! She’s full of nothing but lies!”
Then came Samuel’s frosty voice, “Really? But she hasn’t even mentioned anything. All I’m getting is
that you’re so eager to begin pointing fingers.”
Xienna nearly choked on her own breath, listening to that.
“From today onward, you’re no longer the Macaris’ family doctor.” After dropping the forbidding
sentence, Samuel ended the phone abruptly.
Surprised, Kathleen stood rooted to the spot, her mouth agape.
novelbinSamuel simply hung his head low as he continued burying his head in the pile of work.
As his towering figure was bathed in the golden sunshine, it was as though he was gleaming with
warmth and radiant energy. Even so, never was that sufficient to dispel his chilling vibe.
He had always been portraying an icy and aloof bearing, after all.
“You’ve been staring at me for three minutes now,” announced Samuel as he checked the time. “Come
closer if you’re that interested. I don’t bite.”Feeling speechless, Kathleen quietly took a step back before slumping into the couch.
With his deep voice, Samuel inquired, “Now that you’re back, what plans do you have in mind?”
Casting a sidelong glance at him, Kathleen blurted out, “I’m thinking about starting a business.”
Samuel paused for a bit before asking another question, “What sort of business?”
“A pharmaceutical business.” Kathleen tried to elucidate her view. “I couldn’t recall the past, and I no
longer yen for my acting career. I thought I’d rather have a shot at what I’m good at.”
Samuel shot her a meaningful glance. “If you do want to give acting a go, you still can, actually.”
“No, forget it,” expostulated Kathleen as she shook her head.
“But you were so into filming in the past.” Samuel coaxed further, “Also, you graduated from a film
academy, you know. Even if you really wanted to dive deeper into medical research, you can enroll in
the College of Medicine. Acting and researching can always go hand in hand.”
“I tried hard, but I can’t seem to remember anything. Maybe I should really start over,” explained
Kathleen.
“Huh? Where has all your confidence gone to?” As Samuel lifted his head, he revealed the ever-so-
gentle gaze in his eyes.
One glance in his eyes was more than enough to be spellbound, so to speak.
There was a faint glint in Kathleen’s sparkling eyes. “It’s not a matter about my self-confidence, but
rather —”
“You know, you’ve always rambled on about finally being able to follow your heart’s desire and do
whatever you want after the divorce.” Samuel deliberately lowered his gaze as he spoke, trying toconceal the despondency in his eyes. “So if you still fancy acting, there’s no harm for you to pursue it.”
In actuality, he thought he could prevent Kathleen from leaving Jadeborough if she were to heed his
advice.
After contemplating for a brief moment, Kathleen piped up, “Did I… really say that?”
“Mm.” Samuel inclined his head. “All I could remember was you telling me the whole time that marrying
me had cost you your career. You’ve always yearned to go on set.”
Kathleen gave him a curt nod.
Leaping up from his seat, Samuel prompted, “Let’s go.”
“Oh? Already?” Kathleen was startled by that.
Directing his impassive gaze upon Kathleen, Samuel told her, “I can tell you’re bored to death, and I
know you don’t want to be here waiting for me, so let’s just head out right now.”
Upon hearing that, Kathleen was flustered. “I merely didn’t want to intrude into your work.”
Staring at her elegant face, Samuel uttered, “You’re not. In fact, you are my motivation.”
Dumbstruck, Kathleen kept mum.
“Come on.” Samuel tugged at her hand and led her out the door of his office.
Just like that, they held hands all the way to the elevator.
Tyson and the rest raised their heads from their desks as the duo walked past.
Could that be a sign of reconciliation?“Have that couple reconciled already, Mr. Hackney?”
Heaving a sigh, Tyson shook his head in disagreement. “It’ll never be that easy.”
“Just so you know, there’s quite a number of women trying to latch onto Mr. Macari outside this building
recently,” uttered one of his colleagues.
Another one chimed in, “Yes, I saw that, too. I think I’ve even seen some influencers among them when
I arrived here this morning.”
As Tyson listened to the hearsay, he intervened, “Mr. Macari wouldn’t even spare them a peek. He’s a
wolf, don’t you guys know?”
“Uh… I don’t think that’s a good criticism for him.”
“Wolves are one of the most loyal and faithful creatures on earth,” explained Tyson. “In this lifetime, Mr.
Macari will never ever fall for someone else except Kathleen, so don’t even think of snatching his
woman.”
“Of course, we wouldn’t!”
“I second that! We’re no fools, all right?”
“That’s good to know.” Tyson nodded in approval.
After Samuel and Kathleen boarded the elevator, the latter retracted her hand from Samuel’s.
Immediately, her eyes were imbued with caution.
Samuel, on the other hand, remained as composed as ever.
Deep down, Samuel was used to Kathleen belonging only to him.As a consequence, he felt it was only right for him to keep her to himself.
It must have slipped his mind that Kathleen was no longer the same person as before.
“Sorry.” His croaky voice resonated throughout the elevator.
Kathleen did not reply to him.
The elevator soon came to a halt on the ground floor.
In a jiffy, Kathleen marched out of the elevator.
To be honest, she couldn’t help but feel enormous pressure each time she was with Samuel.
If Samuel wasn’t the biological father of Eil and Desi, she would have never gotten involved in this
hurdle.
Samuel trailed behind her.
The second the duo stepped out of the elevator, Xienna bolted toward them out of the blue and
exclaimed, “Listen to me, Samuel. This woman lost her memory. She’s not in any way in love with you
anymore. Now, she’s only trying to plot your demise so that her kids can inherit your entire fortune. She
only has eyes for your money. Don’t you see it?”
