Divorce Anxiety Chapter 473Chapter 473 Because You Were Not There
Kathleen guided Samuel to the restaurant.
Soon, they found a nice and quiet place to sit.
With the menu in hand, Kathleen ordered all the food that Samuel liked while he sat next to her.
There was a refreshing fragrance coming from her. He could not help but want to get close to her
because of the pleasant scent.
“Kate.” Samuel inched closer to her. “Did the Lester family only ask you to treat Old Mrs. Lester?”
Picking up the pitcher beside her, she poured a glass of water for Samuel. “That’s right. What else
would they ask me to do?”
Samuel pursed his thin lips. “It’s weird.”
Kathleen blinked in surprise. “So you also feel the same way?”
Samuel nodded in response.
“To be honest, it’s hard to put my finger on it. The Lester family does treat me a little strangely.” She
muttered, “I just don’t understand why they treat me that way. Is it really merely because I’m treating
Old Mrs. Lester’s condition?”
Samuel put her hand into his. “Do you want to know what I have discovered?”
Astounded, she questioned, “Did you already look into it?”
“How could you forget? I’m great at digging up information,” he said meaningfully.“What did you find!” Kathleen was eager to know.
Releasing his grip around her hand, he sipped his water. “In any case, they aren’t trying to make you
marry into their family.”
Kathleen was dumbfounded.
She fumed, “Of course not! Furthermore, I’d never do that.”
“Oh? Why not?” Samuel gave her a knowing look.
Kathleen raised a brow. “What do you think?”
“How would I know?” replied Samuel indifferently.
He continued to sip his water, unrelenting.
Kathleen smiled wordlessly. “It’s because you’re the best. I have to marry you.”
Hearing her words, Samuel smiled.
A short while later, their meal was served.
Kathleen put some food onto Samuel’s plate.
He used his left hand to hold the fork while Kathleen kept putting more food on his plate.
Kathleen also passed a spoon to him.
Her heart ached as she watched him eat with difficulty.
His hand, his leg, and even his body were wounded. Anywhere that could be hurt was hurt.“Aren’t you going to eat?” Samuel noticed her gaze was fixated on him.
“I am eating though?” Kathleen shifted her gaze away.
Samuel’s pencil-thin lips curved upward. “I want to eat that, Kate.”
“Which one?” Kathleen turned to look at him.
Little did she expect that Samuel would lean over and plant a kiss on her scarlet lips. “This one.”
Kathleen instantly blushed up to her ears.
She stared at him, speechless. “There are a lot of people around.”
Samuel, in turn, narrowed his eyes and gazed at her. “You’re my wife.”
“I’m still your fiancée, okay? We haven’t even registered our marriage yet,” Kathleen corrected.
I only said that to the Lester family because I don’t want them to form any misunderstandings!
“We can get registered now.” Samuel spoke in a solemn tone.
Kathleen was stumped.
“As long as you are willing to.” He fixed her with a serious and unwavering stare. “Would you be willing
to do it?”
Kathleen gave it a long and hard thought. “No.”
Dumbstruck, the man looked defeated.
“I need to think about it more. After all, you almost married Ashley.” She suggested, “We should take
things like marriage slow.”It was apparent that she was traumatized by the idea of marriage and weddings.
I know I can’t force her. There are still some hurdles inside of her that she can’t get over.
“I understand.” Samuel nodded.
Our current state isn’t so bad too.
Just as Kathleen and Samuel were minding their own business having their lunch, someone snapped a
photo of them and posted it on the internet.
Everyone couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
So after going around in circles, they still end up together?
Ashley saw the news, too. She almost threw her phone out of anger.
How could he do this? How could he just change like that? Doesn’t he know the price I have to pay
because of this?
“Being angry doesn’t help, you know?” Lauren gave her a narrow-eyed look. “Kathleen must be feeling
proud at the moment.”
Ashley roared indignantly, “I’ve already tried my best. I was so close!”
I was so close… I could have married him and made my wish come true. Yet… Samuel is unable to
forget about Kathleen! His feelings for her must have been etched into his bones. That’s the only
explanation for him to still love her after losing his memories!
Heartbroken, she cupped her face with her hands. “Lauren, tell me. What have I gained after going
through so much pain?”Lauren stated indifferently, “Honestly, I think that you are not ruthless enough.”
Ashley knitted her brows. “I’m not ruthless enough?”
“That’s right! If you just killed Kathleen, then you wouldn’t be having so many issues.”
“Do you think I had never thought of that?” Ashley took a deep breath. “I was so close to killing her
back then. If it weren’t for Wynnie and the others, Kathleen would have been long dead.”
Lauren remarked coldly, “She was a nobody back then. Now, even if you want to get rid of her, it’ll be
very difficult.”
Ashley decided to stay silent.
“Your top priority now should be finding ways to get Luna to have faith in you again. Also, there’s still
one way to ruin Samuel and Kathleen’s relationship.”
“What is it!” Ashley was keen to know.
Lauren proposed, “It’s killing Samuel and Kathleen’s children. Their relationship would undoubtedly
break down due to this.”
Ashley was taken aback. “If that were to happen, Samuel would never forgive me.”
“How would anyone know if we do it in secret?” Lauren elaborated, “We just have to come up with a
good plan. As we both know, Kathleen and Samuel are not in the country at the moment—now is our
best chance.”
Ashley was hesitant. “But…”
She did not dare to take the risk.A misstep could easily lead her to her doom.
It’s way too risky.
novelbinLauren casually said, “If you don’t do it, there won’t be a chance anymore. What will you do when
Kathleen makes her move?”
“Fine!” Ashley pressed her lips together. “We’ll just do it your way.”
Delighted, Lauren said, “Good. I’ll make the preparations for you.”
Ashley nodded. “We need to be quick. I’m worried that Samuel and Kathleen will be back to deal with
me soon.”
“Leave it to me.”
Back in Nardor, Kathleen and Samuel were dining together.
“Are you staying at the Lester residence tonight?” the latter asked in a low voice.
“Yup.” Kathleen gave a nod. “Is there something wrong?”
“I don’t want to be away from you.” His voice husky, he proposed, “You either stay at the hotel with me,
or I stay with you at the Lester residence.”
Kathleen laughed in exasperation. “Wouldn’t it be a little too much if we both stayed at the Lester
residence?”
“Isn’t asking me to sleep at a hotel alone a little too much? You clearly know how much I would miss
you.”
Kathleen looked rather abashed. “All right, I’ll stay with you at the hotel.”“Great.” Samuel flashed a contented smile. “Let’s go then. I want to have a good night’s rest.”
Hearing him say that made her notice the faint dark circles under his eyes.
“Did you not sleep for the past few days?” she questioned.
“Yeah. I couldn’t fall asleep because you weren’t there.” The man spoke in an aggrieved tone.
