Benjamin rang the doorbell after he finished his call. Kathleen was standing inside when the dooropened.She had just finished her shower, and her face was still pale.”l bought some pizza.” Benjamindid not know how to react when he saw Kathleen's expression.They felt awkward meeting eachother because they had experienced the same trauma."Thank you.” Kathleen took a step back andallowed Benjamin to enter.Benjamin walked to the table and put down the pizza in his hand. “It'sstill hot. Eat up.”“Gemma went to work the night shift.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “I didn’t expect herto become a nurse. She's amazing.”Benjamin froze for a moment. “Nothing is amazing about it.There are many nurses out there who are better than her."Kathleen shook her head. “She's reallyamazing, especially after that matter.”“Have you been doing well?” Benjamin asked in a hoarsevoice.”Yes.” Kathleen took her seat.Benjamin took a cigarette box out of his pocket.Kathleenhesitated before saying, “Benjamin, can you not smoke in the house?"*I'm sorry.” Benjamin feltawkward. He did that because he was too nervous Kathleen ate the pizza slowly. “Thank you forsaving me."“Don’t go out so late next time.” Benjamin's heart ached for her. “Even if you have anemergency, replace someone to accompany you. Don’t go out alone at night."“Okay.” Kathleennodded.” called a man named Tyson, but I didn't tell him you're here. I wanted to ask you first.”Benjamin looked at her. “Should I ask him to come here?“Kathleen shook her head. “It's okay. It'sbright outside. I can go home alone.”"All right.” Benjamin nodded as he sized Kathleen up.He hadmany words to say, but he held himself back. Who am I to interfere with her matters now? She'smarried, and the man named Tyson is not her husband. Is her marriage that painful to her? Is thatwhy she has...Knock! Knock!Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.Kathleen and Benjaminexchanged glances."Is that Gemma?” Kathleen was shocked."She doesn't get off until noon,” saidBenjamin as he went to open the door.He opened the door and saw a handsome, elegant-lookingman in his long black coat. He seemed unfriendly, judging from his looks.Benjamin recalled seeingthis handsome man.He's Samuel Macari, the CEO of Macari Group and the head of the Macarifamily. He's also Old Mrs. Macari's grandson and Kathleen's husband.”Benjamin, who is it?” Kathleenwalked to the door.She froze when she saw Samuel. He came rather quickly.Kathleen knew it wouldbe a matter of time for Samuel to replace her once someone contacted Tyson.Samuel narrowed hiseyes and stared at Kathleen coldly.Kathleen was wearing a pink hoodie with a cartoon figure printedon it and a pair of grey sweatpants. Her hair was tied up in a bun, which made her look cute andfresh.She still looks like an eighteen-year-old university student though she’s already twenty-three.She looks so fresh and charming.Instantly, anger surged within Samuel. How dare she stay in astranger's house? Doesn't she know how dangerous the world is?“Come with me!” Samuel's voicewas deep and cold."How did you replace this place?” There were no emotions in Kathleen's voice. “Youcould have just sent Tyson to pick me up. Why did you come?"Kathleen knew she was a nobody inSamuel's heart.She did not expect him to care about her, not even the slightest. Samuel did not likethe way Kathleen was looking at her, as well as the way she spoke to him.He walked towardKathleen with a dark expression.Kathleen was so terrified that she took a step backward andknocked onto the table behind her.”Be careful!” Benjamin was worried.Samuel held Kathleen's wrist,pulled her into his arms, and said in a low voice, “Kathleen, he's just a police officer. He's not adifficult opponent to me. Are you sure you want to argue with me here?"Kathleen froze.Samuel wasthreatening her again. He knew she had a soft heart.He knew how to use her weakness to hisadvantage and threaten her with someone he could make use of.“I'll go with you,” said Kathleen asshe lowered her head.Kathleen was grateful that Benjamin had helped her. She could not bear totrouble him again.Gemma only had Benjamin, and Kathleen did not want to get the siblingsinvolved.Benjamin stared at Kathleen with concern. “Kathleen, if you don’t want to go back—""I'mgoing back.” Kathleen did not look at Benjamin as he had been sensitive since he was young andcould observe the emotional change in people around him quickly.“Thank you for saving her, Mr.Young. You will be rewarded after this.”It's okay. I didn’t save her for rewards,” Benjaminrejected.”"Hmph. Mr. Young, you're an orphan, and your biological family doesn’t welcome you. Ifyou become rich one day, they will treat you differently. So keep it.” Samuel sounded reallyarrogant.”Samuel, that's enough.” Kathleen was furious.Who does he think he is? How could hehumiliate Benjamin like that?Samuel stared at the woman, who was inches shorter than him. This isthe first time she has thrown a tantrum at me because of a stranger.The more she acted that way,the angrier Samuel got.How is she related to this man? Why is she defending him?Kathleen thoughtSamuel was being ruthless. Furthermore, he had left her on the streets and something bad hadalmost happened to her.Kathleen pursed her lips and went straight out without turningback.Samuel’s expression fell. Why is she acting like this?He went after her, and they arrived at thevehicle.”Kathleen, how dare you give me this attitude because of some random man?" A viciousglare appeared on Samuel's handsome face.”I'm not giving you an attitude because of a man.Samuel, do you know what would have happened to me if not for Benjamin?” Kathleen's eyesreddened.Her tears made her look pitiful and less lethal.” almost got taken forcefully! Do you knowwhat that means?” Kathleen was trembling. “If you were human, you wouldn't have left me, awoman, on the streets alone just so you could meet your mistress. Do you know what I was goingthrough when you were flirting and snuggling with the mistress?”"Samuel panicked. “I didn't meanit.""You didn't mean it?" Kathleen's tears started streaming down her cheeks. “I've reminded you, yetyou didn’t bother about my safety. Even if I die, you will not even bat an eyelid.””I...” Samuel knewhe was wrong.He didn’t expect her to be in danger in five minutes.Sniffling, she continued, “Samuel,you never cared about me. You never even tried to get to know me."Samuel remainedsilent."Samuel, I don't like to eat crabs. Do you know why I started to like them? It's because youwould remove the shells for me.”Samuel reached out as he wanted to hug her.It broke his heart tosee Kathleen cry.Kathleen pushed his hands away. “Don't touch me! You've touched Nicolette withthese hands, so don't touch mel”Samuel was stunned, and his gaze darkened."Samuel, it's not that Idon't want to divorce you. Grandma is not well, and I'm afraid she can't take the news.” Kathleenwiped away her tears. “We can get a divorce and hide the news from Grandma until the right timearrives. Let's go to the City Hall to get the papers signed tomorrow.”
