Divorce Anxiety Chapter 476Chapter 476 Taking It Too Far
Swallowing hard, Samuel insisted, “I’m fine.”
Kathleen sighed with relief. She let go of him and lay beside him with both hands on her stomach.
“I seriously don’t know what to say sometimes, Samuel,” she started. “It seems like things are the same
for you, whether or not I am beside you.”
“No, it’s different!” He clasped her hand and added with some difficulty, “When you’re by my side, I feel
more at ease compared to the times when you’re not around.”
However, he couldn’t relax completely either.
He was terrified.
Kathleen glanced at him and asked, “You won’t do that terrible thing to me again, so why are you still
so worried?”
A glum look appeared in Samuel’s eyes. “I’m just worried.”
The fear was planted deep inside his heart.
Letting out another sigh, Kathleen turned on her side and hugged him. “Samuel, you’re going to ruin
your health if you keep this up.”
He’s so paranoid because of his fear, and his body is in a terrible state. Despite that, he still came to
Nardor to look for me. What is he thinking?
Samuel hugged her back.He hadn’t been so close to her in a long time, and he missed her a lot.
Her faint fragrance blended with the air he was breathing in, calming him down.
“Kate, as long as you’re here, I’ll be fine.” Unable to hold himself back, he kissed her cheek.
Kathleen did not stop him.
Seeing that, he tightened his embrace and took things further.
A while later, a series of knocks sounded from the door.
The two hurriedly paused in their tracks.
Embarrassment flashed across Kathleen’s face.
When she came back to her senses, their clothes were already in a mess. Moreover, one of Samuel’s
hands was in her clothes.
He’s taking it too far!
“Take it out,” she whispered.
Fortunately, Samuel listened to her.
She then got out of bed and walked to the door before opening it.
Camille stood outside with a smile. “Kate, dinner’s ready. Come downstairs with Mr. Macari and have
some.”
“Okay.”Upon seeing Kathleen’s flushed face, Camille understood what was going on. “I’ll wait for you
downstairs.”
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded shyly.
After Camille left, Kathleen closed the door and turned around, shooting Samuel a glare.
“It’s all because of you!”
Samuel was rendered speechless.
She’s the one who blushes easily because she’s sensitive!
“I’ll wash my face first. Let’s go downstairs for dinner afterward,” Kathleen told him, and he gave a nod
in return.
With that, she entered the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Samuel sat up from the bed with a smirk.
He took out his phone and texted Tyson: Have you found anything on the matter I asked you to look
into?
Tyson replied in an instant: I’ve found some clues. The Ashley we met is indeed fake. I’ve asked
someone to track down her parents, and they are both in Pollerton right now. I believe the real Ashley
is there, too.
Samuel typed: Find out her exact address.
Tyson responded: Got it. He got to work right after sending that message.Just then, Kathleen came out of the bathroom. The redness on her cheeks was nowhere to be seen
now that she had washed her face.
Samuel then got out of bed and straightened out his top and tie.
Seeing how he was struggling with his right hand, Kathleen felt her heart ache.
She walked over to him and started adjusting his tie for him. “Let me do these things for you from now
on.”
Samuel put down his hands and watched her quietly.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice. “Okay.”
Kathleen raised her head and looked at him with twinkling eyes. “I’m being serious.”
“Okay,” he said again with a nod.
“Let’s go.” As she took his big hand with her small and soft one, he felt warm and comfortable.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but curl his lips up.
Hand in hand, the two of them went downstairs.
The entire Lester family was present, including Yvonne’s husband and her two children.
“Kate, sit here.” Yvonne gestured at the two seats beside her.
Kathleen supported Samuel as they walked over and sat down.
“Let me do the introductions. This is my husband, Francis Stone. This is my son, Ian, and my daughter,
Keisha,” said Yvonne cheerfully.“Hello, Ms. Johnson,” Francis greeted.
novelbin“Hello.” Kathleen smiled politely. Deep inside, she felt relieved. Finally, a normal person.
Ian grinned and remarked, “I’m older than you.”
Hearing that, Kathleen smiled shyly.
“And I’m younger than you,” Keisha chimed in happily.
She resembled Yvonne a little, and there was always a sweet smile on her face.
“This is my husband, Samuel,” Kathleen introduced.
Francis nodded in acknowledgment. “Long time no see, Mr. Macari.”
“Yeah,” Samuel answered coldly.
“You know each other?” Yvonne asked out of surprise.
“We’ve collaborated a few times before,” Francis mentioned as he took a sip of water from his glass.
However, he didn’t expect his connection to Samuel to progress into something else.
Judging from Kathleen’s expression, it looked like she knew nothing yet.
On the other hand, Samuel seemed to be aware.
Hasn’t he told Kathleen? Francis couldn’t help but wonder.
“Hello, brother-in-law.” Keisha took the initiative to talk to Samuel.Immediately, she felt a kick from Ian under the table.
He shot her a look as if saying, Seriously? You’re about to expose it!
In response, she flashed him a smile awkwardly.
“Let’s eat.” Following Anthony’s words, everyone picked up their forks and began eating.
During dinner, Kathleen tried her best to take care of Samuel.
After the meal, Francis invited Samuel to get some fresh air outside.
Without much thought, the latter agreed.
While they were strolling in the garden, Francis spoke first.
“I never expected my business partner to be the husband of my wife’s niece.” His tone was calm and
composed.
“I didn’t expect that, too.”
“You didn’t tell Kathleen the truth?” Francis asked curiously.
“No. If I tell her now, it might affect her diagnosis of Old Mrs. Lester’s condition. I’ve asked her, and she
agreed to hear it from me after Old Mrs. Lester’s surgery,” Samuel explained.
“She’s a patient woman. But I guess this is something she could easily guess.”
“Letting her guess and telling her the truth are two different things.” Samuel turned to Francis and
looked at him intently, adding, “Were you able to do what I asked of you?”
“I found it.” Narrowing his eyes, Francis asked, “Should I send the address to you?”Samuel nodded.
“What are you going to tell her when you meet, though?” As Francis spoke, he took out his phone and
sent the address to Samuel. “What if she asks you to repay her by marrying her?”
Samuel’s expression was frosty. “Only Kate can be my wife. As for Ashley, it is true that I owe her. I will
meet her on my own and make sure to repay her.”
Francis advised, “Do as you see fit. The Lester family spent a lot of time looking for Kathleen and
Charles. If something happens to you now, things might—”
“I know what to do,” Samuel claimed. “Allow me to take my leave now.”
He started walking away when Francis suddenly said meaningfully, “Do you recall it now?”
Freezing in his tracks, Samuel turned around and glanced at Francis before spinning on his heels
again.
Indeed, he had recalled something from his past.
However, he didn’t want others to know, especially Kathleen.
Those memories were quite unpleasant.
Since Kathleen also forgot about them, he should just play dumb about it.
After all, he was determined to make it up to her for the rest of his life.
He would never let her suffer again.
