Divorce Anxiety Chapter 430Chapter 430 Do You Not Hate Me
“You…” Samuel’s voice was extremely hoarse. “Did you remember something?”
Kathleen started to loosen the grip on his collar. “Is that important?”
His eyes turned dark. “Of course!”
She snorted, slowly sobering up as the cold wind blew against her face. “Are you scared that my
memories will recover, Samuel?”
Samuel did not answer, merely staring at her with his intent gaze.
He’d lying if he said he wasn’t.
“Never mind. I won’t force you anymore,” Kathleen said miserably. “Let’s go home.”
Right after saying that, she turned around.
Suddenly, Samuel hugged her from behind while still holding the umbrella with one hand. “I’ll answer
you.”
She knitted her brows. “It’s fine if it’s too much for you.”
She no longer longed to know.
“Let’s get in the car first. It’s a bit inconvenient for me to talk here,” Samuel reminded her that his wrist
had not recovered yet.
She lowered her head to look at the right hand on her waist, softly laying her hand on top of it. “Okay.”
When they got into the car, Samuel turned up the air-conditioning, fearing she would get sick.Kathleen massaged her sore temples.
“How much do you remember?” he asked hoarsely.
“Not much. All of them are memories of you hurting me, though.”
The man swallowed hard. Indeed. When I recall, we don’t have many sweet moments together.
“Don’t you hate me?” he queried darkly.
Kathleen answered helplessly, “What’s the use of doing so?”
Samuel stayed silent.
She slowly added, “Although I regained my memories, I didn’t forget about the present. How do I put it?
Well, I think that’s enough punishment for you. After all, I’d also be exhausted if we carried on this way.
I simply don’t want things to get messy again.”
He held her hand. “I didn’t hide it from you on purpose.”
“I understand. Everyone has their own secrets that they can’t tell.”
Since he did not want to bring it up, she would not force him either.
Right then, Samuel changed the topic. “When I was abducted, a little girl helped me to escape.
However, she did not make it while we were trying to flee and was killed by those people.”
Kathleen was stunned. Killed?
“I should have protected her,” he choked out. “Hence, I always felt indebted to her, but I didn’t even
know who she was. When I returned home, I immediately asked my father to save her. However, blood
was all we found upon arriving there. We did not see anyone, let alone the little girl’s corpse. I’ve hiredpeople to investigate her all these years, and not long ago, I found out her last name is Zeller. Ashley
Zeller. She’s Luna’s niece. I didn’t expect that she’s still alive.”
Perplexed, she asked, “Really?”
Samuel nodded. “I heard the Zeller family was afraid she would get into danger again, so she’s been
living under the radar.”
Kathleen pursed her lips. “Isn’t that great? You don’t need to be so guilty if she’s still alive.”
“Mm. I’m just scared you would mind her relationship with Luna.”
She shrugged. “Whatever. She’s not the one who harmed me. I’m someone who knows how to
distinguish between gratitude and grudges, after all.”
To her, Samuel’s benefactor was also hers.
Samuel gazed at her and mumbled, “Are you really not mad?”
“Do you think I’d get mad that easily?” Kathleen asked in displeasure. “I have quite a good temper if I
say so myself.”
He cleared his throat. “Yeah, you do.”
In fact, he seemed to be the complete opposite of her right now.
“Let’s go home. I have a headache.” She leaned against the seat.
Upon hearing that, Samuel called the driver standing outside to start the car.
When they got home, the rain had stopped.The air was fresh and had a fragrance of earth.
After getting out of the car, the duo walked into the mansion and went upstairs to their room.
Kathleen removed her shoes and prepared to sleep just like that, not having the energy to do anything
else.
Samuel helped to tuck her in.
When he caressed her face, his lips curled into a smile. Perhaps, this is not bad of a start.
The next day, Kathleen woke up early and briefly got ready before heading downstairs.
Samuel was currently eating breakfast in the dining room.
After greeting him, she sat down as Maria brought breakfast over.
Then, she began to eat slowly.
“What time is the tech conference?” she asked in curiosity.
“Ten o’clock,” he answered. “There’s no need to rush.”
novelbinShe glanced at the clock and realized it was presently nine in the morning.
They would arrive just on time if they departed from here.
She’d get to see Trevor today.
As Kathleen drank yesterday, her head was still throbbing.
Thus, she took a painkiller after finishing breakfast.Samuel glanced at her. “Why did you still drink when you know your body can’t take it?”
“Something happened between Gemma and Richard, so I’m just supporting her as her friend,” she
answered. “Won’t you accompany your friends when they’re feeling down?”
“They aren’t like this when they’re in a bad mood,” he answered flatly.
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
After heading out of the mansion, they got into the car.
Pondering for a moment, she decided to ask, “What exactly happened to Richard? Why are things so
off between him and Gemma?”
“I’m not sure either.” Samuel shook his head. He was telling the truth, for he was indeed clueless about
it.
Kathleen shot him a disdainful look. “How could you be so indifferent to your friends?”
“You’re just angry because you can’t get anything out of me.”
Kathleen let out a light snort, not caring that he exposed her.
After a moment’s thought, Samuel remarked, “I’ll try to find out once the conference is over.”
“Remember what you said!” Her eyes sparkled. “I didn’t force you to do it.”
Samuel was rendered speechless. Why do I think she’s wrapping me tighter and tighter around her
little finger?“It’s not a problem for me to help you, but what benefits can you offer me?” Samuel started to negotiate
with her.
“You actually want me to give you something in return?” Kathleen found it unacceptable.
A grin crept over his face. “That’s right.”
At that, she was speechless.
He smiled when he saw her face flushing from his teasing. “I’m just kidding.”
“Well, it’s not funny.” Kathleen snorted coldly.
Soon, they arrived at the tech conference.
After the duo exited the car, Kathleen walked into the venue while holding Samuel’s arm.
There was quite a number of guests who came, and the atmosphere was lively.
Naturally, the person who garnered the most attention was Samuel.
After all, Macari Group was the top company specializing in artificial intelligence.
When Kathleen and Samuel appeared hand-in-hand, speculations started to fly around again.
“They’re together again. I wonder how long they’ll last this time.”
“No way they’re going to last long!”
“But they look like a match made in heaven!”
“Who cares if they look good together? A marriage without love is just going to end in disaster!”“Why are you so hostile toward them?”
“I’m Kathleen’s fan, after all.”
Kathleen and Samuel walked over to the first row of seats.
Everyone who could be seated there must have a certain status.
While Kathleen sat next to Samuel, another person sat on the other side.
The person was an old man with gray hair, holding a walking cane. Despite his age, he had a brilliant
glint in his eyes.
If Kathleen was not mistaken, he should be Trevor.
