Chapter 111

“I atoned for my sins.” Samuel placed his hand down. “I cut my stomach open myself.”Nicolettepaled. “H-Have you gone nuts?”He responded icily, “I love her.”Upon hearing that, she froze.Slowly,he buttoned his shirt. “I'll only love her this lifetime.”Nicolette was at a loss for words as she staredat his handsome but expressionless face."Thus, I will never let you get away with this,” he addedcoolly. “I won't let myself get away with this, too.”"Ha!" Nicolette scoffed before hollering with allher might despondently.”I've found a better place for you,” Samuel told her.She gaped in disbelief."You want to make things difficult for me!"He met her gaze calmly. “Yes.”“Ha! Samuel, you're anextremely cruel man.” Nicolette stared at him quietly.”I'm cruel to you only.” There was anindifferent look on his handsome face.With that, he spun on his heels and went away.”Let me leave,Samuel! I did save your life previously, didn't 1?” Nicolette roared at his retreating figure Alas,Samuel paid no heed to her.After walking out of the mountain villa, he turned to Tyson. “Informeveryone to lower their guard on Nicolette.”"Why, Mr. Macari?” Tyson was confused.Samuelexplained, “The Yoeger family wants to save her. Am I right? Let them achieve their goal." Tysoncouldn't wrap his mind around his employer's decision.”Nicolette’s is important to the Yoegerfamily,” Samuel revealed coldly. “Why would you think they want her back? So she could enjoy alavish lifestyle?"Suddenly, Tyson understood what he meant. “Mr. Macari, I've heard a rumor.”" Whatis it?” Samuel asked flatly.”It hasn't been proven true,” Tyson explained. “I heard that Zachary suffersfrom kidney failure and needs a kidney transplant.”Samuel sneered, “Oh, I see. You should knowhow to deal with this, right?"Tyson couldn't hide his surprise.Nevertheless, he gave a curt nod.“Understood.” Let's go.” Samuel turned around and entered his car.Tyson got to the driver's seatand glanced at the rearview mirror. “Mr. Macari, you look unwell. Is your gastric problem acting upagain?"“I'm fine.” Samuel shut his eyes and leaned against the car seat. “Let's go.""Mr. Macari, whereare we heading?” Tyson inquired. “Are you going back to the Macari residence or FloriniaManor?"“Florinia Manor,” Samuel answered placidly. “Did you replace out where Kathleen is stayingnow?"“She’s staying with Charles,” Tyson replied. “Their neighborhood is the one Mr. Troelson hasdeveloped.”“Tell Gustav Troelson I want the mansion next to theirs,” Samuel ordered."All right.”Tyson nodded.For the next three days, Kathleen threw herself into work.Now that Kylie was gone,everyone got along pretty well. The viewer ratings also kept increasing.The audience was surprisedto see Kathleen and Mila showing their cooking skills. It was a visual feast, for they couldn't eat thefood personally.It was time for Mila to leave on the third day, for the new celebrity would show upsoon.The production team didn't reveal anything about the new guest, so everyone was curiousabout who it could be.When it was time for Mila to leave, everyone sent her off."Thanks for takingcare of me for the past three days. I had a great time!” Mila said. She was reluctant to leave thissoon.”Mila, can I visit your restaurant?” John asked earnestly."Of course, you can.” Mila flashed ameaningful smile. “I'll save a table for you. You don't have to make a reservation.””Oh, that's great!”John beamed happily.“Mdm. Hunt, I'll pay Mila’s Kitchen a visit after our shooting ends so that I canenjoy your cooking,” Kathleen chimed in as her lips curled up.“Sure.” Mila took her hand."Remember to bring the man you love the most along.”Kathleen chuckled. “I love Charles the mostnow. I'll bring him along.”Mila grinned. “Sure.” She then glanced at the rest. “I guess that's it. Youcan back to work now!"With that, she entered her car and left.Everyone returned to therestaurant.Inside, they saw a luggage at the door."Is the newcomer here?” John asked curiously.Assoon as he finished speaking, a pretty and elegant lady walked out of the kitchen."Hello. Youweren't around when I arrived earlier, so I took a look around the restaurant,” the lady said with asmile.”We went to send someone off earlier.” Steve glanced at her. “Who are you?""My name isAstrid Holloway,” Astrid introduced herself. “Nice to meet you."Everyone nodded and beganintroducing themselves. When it was Kathleen's turn to introduce herself, Astrid cut in, “I know whoyou are."Kathleen was taken aback by her words.After all, it was normal for Astrid to recognizeeveryone here except for Kathleen.”Have we met previously?” Kathleen asked softly."Not really.”Astrid's lips curved. “I used to be Christopher's ex-fiancée."The crowd fell silent.Christopher's ex-fiancée? Kathleen is his current fiancée! Things are going to get really interesting.As expected, thecomments came flooding in.What a show!Previously, we had an ex-husband and an ex-fiancé. Now,we have an ex-fiancée and the current fiancée. I don't believe it's a coincidence!The productionteam was obedient for two days but is now causing havoc again.This isn't a battle. It's practicallyhell!lHahaha! I wonder how traumatized Kathleen is feeling right now.It doesn't look like Kathleenknows who she is. I think Christopher never mentioned her. Why does Kathleen keep getting herselfinvolved with these kinds of men? Her ex-husband couldn't forget his first love, and her currentfiancé has an ex-fiancée Kate, stop dating men. They spell disaster. Won't you consider me?Back atthe scene, Kathleen was unfazed. “Hello.” Astrid held her hand and flashed a pleasant smile. “Theengagement was actually decided by my grandpa and his grandpa when we were kids. It doesn’tcount, so you don't have to be nervous.”I'm not nervous,” Kathleen responded. She was neithernervous nor shocked.Perhaps it was because she wasn't in love with Christopher.Astrid gave her aslight tug. “I haven't been to the place we live. Can you bring me there?"“Okay.” Kathleen bobbedher head.As requested, Kathleen brought Astrid to their dorm.Christopher’s brows snappedtogether when he received a call from his mother. “Mom, what are you talking about? Whatfiancée?" Astrid Holloway!” Emily replied hastily. “The engagement your grandpa decided for youwhen you were young, remember? She came to you when she was twenty years old, but yourejected her.”’She went overseas. Am I right?” Christopher's frown relaxed slightly.”She’s back,”Emily told him. “She is currently shooting a show with Kathleen. During their first meeting, sheexposed you and Kathleen's relationship to the public."Christopher's brows were knitted. “Did it justhappen a while ago?"Yes.” Emily nodded.Christopher hung up at once.A WhatsApp messagearrived on his phone, and he clicked into it.It was sent by Astrid’s grandfather, OsvaldHolloway.Osvald texted: Christopher, I didn’t blame you for refusing to marry Astrid. She wants tostay in the country, so please take care of her. Thanks.
