Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 129

Someone liked Kathleen's post on Instagram less than half a minute after she posted it When shetapped on the notification, she noticed it was Samuel who liked it.It seems like he's very free. Wasn'the very busy earlier?Sitting on the couch in the living room, Samuel looked at the post that Kathleenhad posted on Instagram, and a smile formed on his lips.This little glutton. She's so easily wonover.After pondering for some time, Kathleen decided to block Samuel on Instagram.When Samuellaunched the app to look at her pictures again, he realized her account had becomeinaccessible.Samuel texted: Did you block me?Kathleen replied: It's my Instagram account, so it's upto me what I want to do with it.Samuel sent another text: Are you hiding something on yourInstagram account?Kathleen responded: They're all pictures of me and Christopher showing off ouraffection for each other. Want to have a look?Samuel was rendered speechless.Meanwhile, Kathleenfelt pleased with his delayed response. Finally, Samuel replied: Fine! Show it to me!Kathleen was at aloss for words, and she ignored him.Meanwhile, she continued to indulge in the cake. When she wasdone with it, she had a light dinner.In the end, she ate too much.She rubbed her round belly. Thiswon't do. I have to exercise for a bit. Otherwise, it'll be embarrassing to audition with a round bellytomorrow.She stood up and said to Maria, “I'm going for a walk."Maria walked out of the kitchenand said worriedly, “Ms. Johnson, it's not safe for you to go alone.”"Don’t worry, Maria. The securitysystem here is quite strict. It'll be fine. I'll be back soon.” With that, Kathleen put on her white jacketand walked out of the house.Meanwhile, Samuel stood by the window, watching a white figureexiting the house.Upon seeing that, he frowned, put on a black coat, and strode out of thehouse.Meanwhile, Kathleen strolled around casually.The residential area had a high occupancy rate,yet there were very few people around.Perhaps the garden in the residential area was too big thatthere were not many people around.Even so, Kathleen liked it there.The scenery should be quitebeautiful if I come here during the day.After taking a few steps, she suddenly felt someone wasfollowing behind her.She turned around abruptly and was stunned by what she saw. “Samuel?"Whyis he here?“What are you doing here alone at night?” Samuel frowned. His expression was extremelystern.”l ate too much, so I'm taking a walk,” Kathleen explained bewilderedly. Her brows were tightlyknitted as she asked, “What are you doing here?"“I'm taking a walk,” Samuel answeredindifferently."Why would you take a walk in our residential area?” Kathleen did not believe him."Whynot?” Samuel stared at her.Kathleen scoffed inwardly and continued walking forward.Samuelfollowed behind her.As they walked, his long, slender shadow overlapped with hers.His gazedarkened as he fell into deep thought.After taking a few steps, Kathleen realized Samuel was stillfollowing her. She stopped and questioned, “Samuel, why are you following me?"“I'm just going thesame way.” Samuel's handsome and elegant face still had a look of indifference. “What? Is this roadyours?"Kathleen snorted lightly. She ignored him and continued with her walk Right then, sherecalled he had just recovered from an illness.She stopped in her tracks again, frowning. “Were youdischarged from the hospital?”Samuel smirked. “Are you worried about me?” was just asking. It'sfine if you don't want to answer me.” Kathleen turned around and continued walking.Seeing that,Samuel quickly walked to her side.Kathleen merely snorted in response.Samuel grinned. “Was thecake delicious?""Yes,” Kathleen replied honestly. “Oh, even a neighbor knows what I like. I don'tunderstand why some people aren't the same.”Samuel's expression turned grim. “It's okay. Justscold me. I'll accept it humbly.”Kathleen was at a loss for words.”Do you know who Yareli Yoeger is?”Samuel asked.Kathleen looked sidelong at him. “Yes, I do. She's the eldest daughter of the Yoegerfamily and Vanessa's daughter. What about her?"“Previously, she had been preparing for a weddingabroad. But she canceled the wedding two days ago and is back in the country.” A sharp glintflashed across Samuel's eyes. “I'm sure it's got something to do with the heir of the Yoegerfamily.”Kathleen paused for a moment before asking, “Does she want to inherit the Yoeger familytoo?"“Well, who doesn't?” Samuel asked coldly.Hearing that, Kathleen frowned.Samuel smiled. “Iknow you don't.""Thanks for telling me this,” Kathleen said in a distant manner. “My house is right infront. Goodbye, Mr. Macari.”Samuel smiled faintly. “My house is right in front, too.”Kathleen waspuzzled.Stretching out his hand, Samuel greeted, “Hello, Ms. Johnson. I'm your newneighbor.”Kathleen was speechless.That night, Charles saw Kathleen sitting on the couch whilehugging a pillow the moment he returned home.”"What's wrong?” Charles walked over and pokedhis sister's face. “Who offended you this time?"“Charles, you said you've looked into all theneighbors in this residential area, right?” Kathleen glanced at him from the corner of her eyes."That'sright.” Charles nodded. “The one on the left is a university professor, while the one on the right is anold couple."Kathleen rose to her feet. “Who said our neighbor living on the right is an old couple?He's clearly a singleton! What's worse is he’s the kind who's divorced, likes to harass people and telllies!"“What?" Charles stood up. “What happened?“Kathleen fixed her gaze on him.”Did he harassyou?” Charles frowned.Kathleen nodded.”Wait here!” Charles turned around and left. He went to thehouse next door and rang the doorbell. As soon as the door opened, Samuel could be seen standinginside. He looked elegant and handsome in a white fitted shirt and a pair of black pants.Why is hehere?“Where's the old couple who lives here?” Charles asked coldly." They moved away.” Samuelgrinned. “I made arrangements for them to live in Jadeborough's best old folks’ home."Charles wasbaffled.This man is really cunning!"No wonder my sister says you're a singleton who harasses andlies to her,” Charles fumed. “You're really despicable, Samuel.” won't argue with you since you'reKate's brother,” Samuel said, acting as if he was a magnanimous person.”From what I can see, you'rebasically asking for a beating!” Charles raged.”You can beat me up, but I won't retaliate. After all, it'llmake Kate feel bad.” Samuel stared at him calmly. “It's not too bad since I can get herconcern.”Charles was speechless.Samuel flashed a smile. “Is that all? I'm going to close the door, ifyou have nothing else.”Charles gritted his teeth and said, “I'm going to move out tomorrow!"“I'lllook forward to being your new neighbor.” Samuel smirked.After saying that, he shut the door,leaving Charles at a loss for words.This is so frustrating!Left with no choice, Charles returned to hishouse.Upon seeing him, Kathleen asked, “So? How did it go?"“l would've beaten him up if it wasn'tfor you,” Charles said helplessly.Feeling embarrassed, Kathleen said, “Beat him up, then. I won't feelbad for him. It's just that Old Mrs. Macari treats me really well. Don't you feel sorry for the old lady ifyou hit Samuel?”After giving it some thought, Charles pulled out his phone and gave Diana acall.Kathleen frowned upon seeing that.Soon, the call was answered.”Hello, Charlie!” Diana's voicesounded rather energetic. That meant the call did not disturb her from her rest.“Old Mrs. Macari, wehave a new neighbor who constantly harasses Kate. Don't you think I should beat him up?” Charlesasked calmly.”What?" Diana raged. “Why is he harassing Katie? You're her brother. Just beat him upif you want to!"“Based on what I know so far, he's divorced and is even a liar,” Charles said. He wastrying to imply something with his words.“I'll handle it if you don’t know how to deal with him,”Diana said agitatedly. “I'll send someone to beat him up.”Charles said softly, “Old Mrs. Macari, thatperson is Samuel.”Diana fell silent.
