Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 103

Kathleen did not believe him. “Will you?"*You'll replace out when you come over to my place,” Samuelreplied with a raspy voice.With that, he put down his long arm that was pressing the doorshut.Kathleen bolted out of the room right after that, as though she was running away from asavage beast.Smirking, Samuel muttered under his breath, “You can't escape me."Kathleen foundCharles and grabbed his hand. “Let's go, Charles!"With a glance at her lips, Charles asked, "DidSamuel bully you?“Kathleen's lipstick had faded, indicating that she had been kissed.Kathleen'scheeks flushed red. She barked, “Don't bring him up!“Charles realized that his speculation wastrue.Samuel, you b*stard!Kathleen got into the car and fastened her seat belt.Charles asked as hestarted the engine, “Do you know what Vanessa told me?“Kathleen shook her head.”She told methat Nicolette has been living in a mansion over the past year. Someone called Melvin Lambert hadbeen taking good care of her. Apart from restricted movement, she’s living quitecomfortably.”Kathleen’s fingers clenched tightly when she heard that.I knew Samuel couldn't bear tosee Nicolette suffer at all. He has taken great measures to protect her.Kathleen snorted. “I neverexpect him to be kind to me. Charles, you don't need to tell me about this. I won't go back tohim.”“I'm glad you understand.” Charles was worried that Kathleen might still be pining forSamuel.Ten years of unrequited love isnt something one can forget overnight. If Kathleen can let itgo, she wouldn't have... Forget about it. I have to tell Samuel to stop pestering her.Charles tookKathleen to the filming set. He looked deeply into her eyes. “Kate, don't be afraid of anything. I'mhere for you.”She nodded in acknowledgement."Have a good rest. I'll get you a script today. Don’tthink about anything else,” Charles reminded.”Okay, Charles. Drive safe,” she said warmly."Of course.Get in, then.” Charles nodded Kathleen turned around and went inside After that, Charles lit up acigarette.Looking up, he saw the Maybach parked not far away from him.Charles snorted at thecoincidence. He got out of his car and walked over to the Maybach.Samuel opened the car doorand asked in a chilling tone, “Are you getting in, or should I come out?"“Samuel, leave my sisteralone. Kathleen doesn't like you anymore. Do you understand?” Charles threatened viciously."No, Idon't,” Samuel replied nonchalantly.Charles bared his teeth at him. “You truly have no shame,haven“t you? Do you remember how you treated Kathleen all these years?"*I know I've wronged herin the past. I'll make up for it. I want to treat her well in the future,” Samuel said in a low voice.”Inthe future?” Charles laughed in exasperation. “Do you think you have a future with her? You allowedyour woman to do whatever she pleased with Kathleen. A sc*mbag like you should be locked upwith that b*tch! You should stay together! That way, you won't cause any harm to otherpeople!”"Samuel's face turned gloomy as he warned, “I won't hit you because I don't want to upsetKathleen, but that doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you."Charles burst into laughter when he heardthe threat. “Do you honestly think Kathleen will appreciate this?”Samuel did not say a word."Fine. I'llgo to the Morris family and let Kathleen marry Christopher as soon as possible. Let's see if you dareto cling to a married woman. Hah! She will be your sister-in-law in the future!” Charlesfumed.Samuel glared at him in response.Emanating a cold aura, Charles left with a cigarette in hismouth.Samuel twiddled the wedding ring in his hand. I'll never let Kathleen marry another man.Thenext day, Kathleen got up and went out to attend the recording.The production team made the taskmore difficult for the participants today.”Here’s the deal. Many people want to come for dinner, butthey don't have the time. So, your task today is to make fifty takeaways and deliver them. We'll giveyou the address later,” Cain informed them.Everyone present was dumbfounded. Fiftytakeaways?“You have four hours left. If you complete the task, you will be given an additional fourthousand for the start-up capital,” Cain declared.Everyone was tempted by the reward.After all, theyhad spent almost all their money when they went out to make their purchases the day before.”Let'sdo this,” Kathleen suggested. Fifty takeaways. You'll need to have greens as well as meat. Kathleen,are you sure you can do this alone?” Nancy looked at her worriedly.”How can you not have faith inKathleen after the banquet two nights ago?” Kylie taunted in a low voice.”l think we should makeone dish each.” Steve picked up the lunch box on the side and instructed, “John, go ahead and cookthe pasta.”“All right.” John nodded in agreement.”Kathleen, Nancy, you two should be in charge ofcooking the main dish. The three of us aren't good at cooking. So, we'll do the washing andchopping instead,” Steve arranged.Kathleen and Nancy nodded gently in unison.Feeling aggrieved,Kylie complained, “My foot still hurts.”John sneered at her. “You were as fit as a fiddle when youwent upstairs yesterday. How did you get injured all of a sudden? You should go home andrecuperate. Why are you still taking part in this show? You want to make money, yet you aren'thelpful at all. How ridiculous!"“You!” Kylie's face flushed with embarrassment.After successfullyprovoking her, John went about his task.“Nancy, you should prepare the vegetables. I'll do the rest,”Kathleen suggested.”Okay.” Nancy nodded.The duo went to work together.Kylie was suddenly leftalone in the restaurant. She felt rather awkward. Why is Kylie still on the show? Why won't they lether go?l know, right? She's looking for a fight every day. It's so annoying!She's behaving like this inthe livestream. Can you imagine what she’s like in private? I'm begging the production team to getrid of her quickly.The comments section was full of complaints. The audience was sick of Kylie'sdisruptive antics.Nevertheless, Kylie had no clue about the negativity she had garnered. She silentlyshed tears as she looked into the camera. She was trying to portray herself as a victim ofbullying.Three hours and a half later, the quartet completed fifty takeaways.Kathleen made achicken casserole and shrimp cocktail, while Nancy made asparagus risotto with lemon.They alsomade beef stew.On the other hand, Kylie did not contribute the entire time.She just sat there andcried pitifully Jeez. Has she been crying for four hours? Is there any water left in her?Nah. She hasn'tbeen crying for that long. She only shed some tears at the beginning. She was in a daze the wholetime.If she wants to repent for what she did, she wouldn't be sitting here for four hours.At thatmoment, Cain spoke up. “These fifty meals are to be delivered to Macari Group.”Kathleen wasrendered speechless.Everyone immediately looked at her with interest before turning their heads toCain.They must have arranged this on purpose Kathleen knew that the production team would notdare to pull this stunt.Samuel must be behind this!“Let's go together. It's just a task. No one willrefuse, right?” Cain asked, testing the waters.Kylie suddenly sprang to life. She said sarcastically, “Mr.Dodson, I have a high degree of compatibility. I'll go! Unlike someone, I know how to draw a linebetween personal matters with business."Her remarks left everyone at the scene speechless.What ajoke! You're one to talk.Kathleen knew Kylie was mocking her just now.”l have no problem withthat,” she said indifferently.
