Chapter 418 Do You Accept
“Do you think I’ll tell you if you question me with that tone?” Kathleen shot a poker-faced look at Yareli.
The latter was at a loss for words.
“Rory, send her back to her ward and lock her up,” Kathleen said in annoyance. “Help give her a quick
refresher since she doesn’t know her place.”
“Got it!” Rory replied before approaching to grab Yareli’s arm.
“Let go of me!” Yareli struggled.
However, Rory did not loosen her grip one bit.
“You’ve gone too far, Kathleen!” Yareli hollered. “How dare you do this to me in front of Samuel?”
All that came from Kathleen was a snort.
“You don’t have to show her mercy, Rory,” Samuel chimed in.
“Understood!” Rory nodded.
She got more dauntless after receiving Samuel’s instructions.
Following that, Rory aggressively dragged Yareli to the latter’s room and tied her to her bed.
“I hate you, Kathleen!” Yareli roared.
Kathleen stood in front of the door while looking at the tied-up Yareli. “Rory, give her a sleeping pill. She’s
too noisy.”
“Okay.” Rory nodded once more.
“Don’t you dare! Kathleen!” Yareli’s voice was deafening.
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Kathleen scoffed.
Then, she took a sleeping pill and forcefully shoved it down Yareli’s throat.
“Mm-Mmph!” Yareli struggled with all her might but to no avail.
In a matter of minutes, she drifted off and succumbed to sleep.
After that, Kathleen instructed Rory, “Give her one sleeping pill everyday. Make sure she stays quiet until
the day we ship her off.”
“Got it.” Rory nodded.
Kathleen then turned on her heel and returned to the living room.
Only Charles and Clarissa was there.
“Where’s Samuel?” Kathleen was puzzled as he was there just a moment ago.

That was when Charles pointed at the second floor, hinting that Samuel had gone upstairs.
Kathleen frowned.
“So, you’ve decided-” Charles looked at Kathleen and was hesitant to speak.
Pursing her lips, Kathleen eventually answered, “Charles, I think I do like him.”
“I knew it.” Charles sighed.
“I’m not going to see you off, Charles. Goodbye.” With that, Kathleen walked up the stairs.
A hint of bitterness caused Charles’ handsome face to contort.
Clarissa asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Charles?”
“I’m just thinking that maybe there’s no need for memories of love,” Charles said flatly.
“That’s not necessarily true,” Clarissa muttered. “Kate is behaving the way she is now because she fell
for Samuel after she lost her memories. But there’s no guarantee she’ll still be in love with him after she
regains her memories.”
Charles fixed his gaze on her. “You don’t know how special Samuel is to her. Especially after she heard
how Vanessa said she would have died if not for Samuel and the Macari family’s protection.”
“But will Samuel accept a love that’s heavily laced with gratitude?” Clarissa was curious.
“Of course, he will,” Charles replied. “That’s what he wants. To be linked to Kate in all ways so that she
can’t leave him.”
Clarissa stuck her tongue out after she heard that. “What a strange man.”
“He’s very capricious too,” Charles added. “All right, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Clarissa nodded. Then, she followed Charles as they departed Florinia Manor.
Later, Kathleen went to the bedroom, but Samuel wasn’t there either.
He just woke up. Why isn’t he resting? Where on earth did he go?
She then stepped out of the bedroom and went to the study.
The door was left slightly ajar, revealing that the lights were switched on inside the study.
So, Kathleen pushed the door open and entered.
Inside, Samuel was sitting on a chair. His handsome face looked slightly pale and tensed.
“Is your wound hurting?” Kathleen asked in concern.
Samuel nodded.
“I’ll go get your medicine. Let’s dress your wound again,” Kathleen said.

With that, she got ready to leave.
That was when Samuel abruptly shot up from his seat to approach Kathleen.
He inched closer, giving her no choice but to retreat backward until her back was against the door.
“You…” Samuel croaked. “I’m still angry with you.”
Kathleen was puzzled. “Angry?’
“Yes!” Samuel’s handsome and pale face looked displeased. “You made me pass out, took the risk, and
went all alone. That’s why I’m angry.”
Kathleen flashed him an awkward smile. “Why are you angry? I’ve returned unscathed. Moreover,
Desiree and I are fine.”
“So you think I shouldn’t be angry with you because you returned in one piece?” Samuel asked with a
grim face.
“Y-Yeah…?” Kathleen replied hesitantly.
Although she tried to sound assertive, she was scared of Samuel getting angry with her.
However, she felt the sense of oppression that Samuel gave her was not as strong as before.
Could it be true that I’m not afraid of Samuel but scared of liking him, as he once said?
Now that Kathleen admitted to liking Samuel, the oppression that she felt before had vanished.
Samuel looked intently at her.
Kathleen balled her fists, not knowing what to do. “Tell me directly if you’re angry with me and don’t want
to see me. I’ll leave.”
A frown marred Samuel’s countenance.
“Bye then!” Kathleen turned around.
Before her hand could even touch the doorknob, Samuel hugged her tightly from behind.
Her waist was delicate and soft. On top of that, she gave off a faint fragrance that was pleasing to smell.
The situation made Samuel feel like the two had returned to the past before Kathleen lost her memories.
“Don’t leave.” Samuel sounded hoarse.
“Won’t I be an eyesore to you if I stay?” Kathleen chuckled bitterly. “You should be dancing with other
girls and enjoying life!”
She tried to break free from Samuel’s hug.
That made Samuel wrap her in his embrace more tightly.

“You have such a big temper.” Samuel gazed at her meaningfully and said, “I’ve already explained
myself. Why are you still jealous?”
Kathleen said nothing.
Thus, Samuel rested his chin on her shoulder and spoke hoarsely. “Kate, I’m just worried about you. I
don’t want you to leave me again.”
Kathleen instantly turned around and said, “Maybe it won’t take long before you get sick of me, Samuel.”
“That’s not going to happen.” Samuel was certain. “I’ll never get sick of you. Ever.”
Kathleen raised her head as her bright eyes looked at him.
To that, Samuel returned her gaze without a word.
He then lowered his head to plant a feather-like kiss on Kathleen’s red lips.
“Hey! I didn’t say you could do that!” Kathleen protested coyly.
“But the look in your eyes…” Samuel murmured with slight hoarseness.
Says otherwise.
“Whatever!” With that, Kathleen turned to leave.
Samuel was rendered speechless.
Once again, he got convinced that girls had a fiery temper.
He eventually turned and went into the bedroom.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” he said.
Subsequently, the butler entered the room, explaining, “Mr. Macari, Mrs. Macari asked me to redo your
wound dressing.”
“Where is she?” Samuel questioned in a frigid voice.
“Mrs. Macari is having a conversation with Vanessa now,” the butler answered.
“Okay,” Samuel responded gently. “Please prepare some midnight snacks.”
“Right away, Mr. Macari.” The butler nodded.
After the butler redid Samuel’s dressing, he left the room.
Meanwhile, Kathleen gave Vanessa some instructions, then left the latter’s room to go to the living room.
It was not long before Samuel came down the stairs.
Seeing that, Kathleen deliberately snorted.
That made Samuel’s lips curl into a subtle smile. He then walked over to her and offered, “I asked the
staff to prepare some midnight snacks. Have some with me.”
“I’m not hungry,” Kathleen rejected.
“I am, so accompany me.” Samuel grabbed her hand. “I can’t eat well without you.”
