A Deal
Theodore sneered. “Hehe… Did you plan this from the start?” Kathleen remained silent.
“You are very smart, Kathleen.” Then Theodore yelled furiously, “Answer my question!” Kathleen
replied, “Yes. Because from the start, I didn’t really believe what you said to me, but at the time I was
weak, so I could only pretend to believe it all.”
Hearing that, Theodore snorted coldly. Kathleen explained, “You can’t blame me because you said that
I’m your apprentice, and you trust me, but those members of Axeworth Corporation have a grudge
against me. If you really trust me, why would they treat me like that?”
Theodore froze upon hearing that, as he did not think he would get caught. Kathleen continued coldly,
“But there is one thing, Master. If you hadn’t sent me to Samuel’s side, I really didn’t think I was
Kathleen at first.”
Theodore smiled coldly and asked, “When you save Zion, will you let me help you restore your
memory?”
“You mean my memory can be restored?” Kathleen was a little surprised. She had checked before that
her brain damage was real.
“No, your brain damage is real,” uttered Theodore in a deep voice.
“I asked because I’m worried about you and want to help you restore your memory.”
“Master, can you tell me your name?” Kathleen queried.
“I’ve known you for so long, but all I know is your surname.” Smiling indifferently, the old man replied,
“My name is Theodore.”
“I see.” Kathleen finally learned his name. Theodore then asked coldly, “Now, how do I send Zion to
your place?”
“Let me know the time and means of transportation. I will pick him up,” Kathleen replied.
“Okay. I hope you can keep your promise,” answered the old man icily. Kathleen hesitated for a
moment.
“Master, do you still remember what I said a few days ago?”
“You have nothing to do with Axeworth Corporation now, Kathleen, so you do not have the right to ask
about these matters,” Theodore said coldly. With that, he hung up the call.
Kathleen pinched between her eyebrows lightly. Fine. It was better for her not to meddle in the affairs
since she could do anything, anyway. The next day, Kathleen got up early in the morning, planning to
prepare a meal for Desi and Eil.
As a mother, Kathleen had never made breakfast for her children. Although they had eaten food she
made before, it was still not the same. Ding dong! The doorbell rang right then. Kathleen glanced at the
time and was a little confused. Who would come this early? Bearing that thought in mind, she moved
her wheelchair to open the door, only to see Samuel standing there with a lot of things in his hands.
“You’re awake.” Samuel looked at her deeply, as if he was trying to suck her in.
“Yeah.” Kathleen nodded before asking softly, “Why did you come so early?”
“You don’t have a housekeeper. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I brought you breakfast on
the way,” Samuel explained.
“Thank you. Please come in.” Kathleen gave way, and Samuel walked into the house. The well-built,
elegant man smelled good. Placing the breakfast on the table, he asked, “They are not awake yet?”
Kathleen shook her head.
“No. They slept a little late last night.”
“Well, it’s the first time living with their mommy, so they’re a little excited, but they’ll get used to it,” said
Samuel in a hoarse voice.
“Eil and Desi are going to have piano lessons today. Should I ask the teacher to come here? Or should
I take them back home?”
Kathleen knew Samuel attached great importance to the education of the two children.
“I don’t have a piano here, but I can buy it. Can the piano lesson be postponed for a day?” Kathleen
looked up at him faintly. Even so, to him, she never changed—it was still as if she was giving puppy
eyes. Gulping, the man replied, “Sure. I’ll handle it.”
“No need. I also know someone who sells pianos.” Kathleen did not want to rely too much on him.
Displaying a smile, Samuel answered, “Okay.”
Just then, Desi had already woken up. Spotting Samuel, she directly threw herself into his arms.
“Daddy!” Samuel picked Desi up and held her face with his big hand.
“Did you sleep well?” Desi nodded.
“I slept very well.” Samuel’s handsome face, which was usually painted with coldness, softened.
“That’s good to hear. Desi, Mommy can’t move around, so you have to take care of her, okay?” Desi
nodded vigorously.
“Yeah! I’m already mature now. I will learn to be considerate.” Samuel was amused by her reply, while
Kathleen looked at him. Although she still found Samuel cold and terrifying, he was a good father.
“Okay. I brought your favorite little bagel sandwiches, go wash up, and then come eat,” said Samuel
while he put Desi down. Desi flailed her short legs.
“I’ll go call Eil and Ms. Young.” With that, she ran away. Noticing Kathleen was staring at him, Samuel
smiled gently and asked, “Aren’t you going to wash up?” Embarrassed at being caught, Kathleen
replied, “I’m going now.” She went back to the room to wash up. Facing the mirror, she looked at
herself.
Admittedly, Samuel is a very attractive man. Although I’m not a sex-crazed woman, who would reject a
good-looking man? Thinking about it now, I very stubbornly loved him in the past that I destroyed
myself, but that’s not going to repeat, as I have forgotten everything. Now, he’s only another handsome
man to me, who to be the father of my children. Yes, that’s it. By the time Kathleen came out, they had
already sat down and were eating breakfast. However, Samuel was not there.
“He left?” Kathleen asked, surprised. Gemma nodded in response. Handing Kathleen a cup of milk, she
uttered, “I heard there’s an urgent matter at the company.”
“Oh,” replied Kathleen flatly. “Mommy, is it true that we don’t have to take piano lessons today?” Desi
asked happily. Kathleen looked at her sternly.
“Only today.”
“Yay!” Desi exclaimed. Eil let out a sigh.
“How naïve.”
“What?” Desi asked, confused. Eil explained, “Knowing Daddy, he will definitely have a replacement
lesson in the future. There is no escape.” Desi suddenly flashed her pair of big eyes.
“That’s not true. I’ve never had extra lessons before. Did you have extra lessons, Eil?” Eil knitted his
brows, not saying a word. Pfft! Watching their little argument, Gemma was amused.
“Eil, did you just lose?” Suddenly, Eil felt the bagel sandwich was not that delicious anymore. Kathleen
looked at her son sympathetically. Letting out a sigh, Eil felt that life was not easy. I’ve been tricked by
Daddy all this time. “I’ll help you ask Samuel not to give you extra lessons,” Kathleen comforted him.
“Forget it,” said Eil bitterly. “I know how Daddy is. He will definitely pretend to agree with you. Then he
will settle the score with me.”
