Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 143

"Why can't I be here if Christopher can?” Samuel walked to Kathleen's side.”You're wearing myclothes! Kate bought this set of clothing for me. I couldn't even bear to wear it.” Charles wasbothered by Samuel who was wearing his clothes.”You couldn't bear to wear it? I thought you didn'tlike it,” said Kathleen as realization dawned on her.”l haven't worn it even once.” Charles gritted histeeth, glaring at Samuel.“Well, I'll keep it then. It suits me quite well,” said Samuel calmly.Kathleenbought this, after all.Charles was speechless. Then, he asked, “Where's your dignity?”Do you stillwant it?"Go and drink your coffee and go home,” urged Kathleen.Samuel went over and sat at thefurthest seat from Christopher.Maria brought him a cup of coffee.Thanking her, Samuel picked upthe cup and sipped slowly.Charles tugged at Kathleen's sleeve and asked, “What's going on?"“Thetwo of them fought in the yard. I stopped them with the spray gun you used to water the plants,”explained Kathleen.Charles blinked several times.So they were the dogs that fought?Kathleenwalked over to Christopher and remarked, “Chris, the incident where Astrid schemed you is far fromsimple. She had signed a contract with an entertainment company half a year ago. She planned wellwith every step she made.”Christopher frowned after hearing that.”Samuel explained to me justnow. He didn't get Astrid to harass you.” Kathleen paused before continuing, “I believe what Samueltold me. After all, he's not someone that unscrupulous.”Samuel was at a loss for words.”You neverknow because someone's appearance can be deceiving,” mocked Christopher.” completely agreewith you.” Charles raised his brows."You stay out of this.” Kathleen glowered at Charles.Charles feltawkward."Why did you show up at my grandpa’s place today?” Christopher stared at Samuelcoldly.”l was worried about Kathleen,” said Samuel indifferently.Christopher narrowed his eyes andqueried, “How did you know Kathleen went to see my grandpa? Did you stalk her?”Kathleen alsoturned her gaze to Samuel.Looking at Kathleen, Samuel slowly nodded.What a jerk!Kathleen glareddaggers at him and howled, “Samuel, you're being ridiculous!"”l have someone protect you secretlyfor your safety. Nicolette will surely take revenge on you,” explained Samuel Kathleen knitted herbrows.“Plus, I've ordered them not to appear in front of you and not to disturb you. I did this out ofgood intention,” remarked Samuel in a deep voice.”Nicolette will take revenge on my sister becauseof you! It was you who wandered between two women and hesitated back then, causing thesituation to turn out like this!” raged Charles.Samuel's gaze darkened. “Anyway, I did that to protectKathleen. I know Felix's character more than any of you."Since Samuel was nine, Calvin began toteach him how to manage the company.At that time, Felix was still handling Morris Group.Althoughthe Macari family and the Morris family seemed harmonious on the surface, they had always beenfighting secretly.Later, the two families started to be on good terms when Aaron led the Morrisfamily. However, it felt like something big was coming up lately.Christopher did not deny it whenFelix was being suspected.Of course, he was familiar with his grandfather.All those years, Emilywould tell Christopher about something that happened back then.Emily would never spill a wordbefore that. Actually, when Emily married Aaron, she went through a lot of twists and turns.The firstobstruction was from Felix and his wife, namely Christopher's grandmother.They thought Emily wasnot from a prominent family. The two believed that a woman from a regular family was not goodenough for their son.It was due to the same reason that Felix disliked Kathleen.He had an old-fashioned way of thinking. Felix thought Kathleen was not good enough for his grandson becauseshe had been divorced.Meanwhile, Astrid was his old friend's granddaughter. He knew Astridwell.Christopher drank his coffee quietly.Right then, Charles commented meaningfully, “The peoplebacking Astrid are indeed not ordinary. She could join the most popular variety show as soon as shereturned. That is strange by itself. Although we have investigated her, we know nothing about thepeople behind her.”In other words, Astrid was not an ordinary woman.“Chris, do you know Astrid?”Kathleen asked faintly.Staring at her intently, Christopher shook his head and answered, “Eventhough I had an engagement with her before, that was an arranged marriage. I've never beenserious about it, and I've never met her. Later, Grandpa asked me to get in touch with her, but Irefused. I told Grandpa about my wishes straightforwardly and called off the marriage.”"He also didnot expect Astrid to come back again.”"How about we look into Astrid? If she’s making you two fighteach other, there must be someone who will benefit from this.”Samuel fixed his gaze onKathleen.She has become more mature. Her way of viewing an issue is also different from before.Perhaps she has never changed. It was me who had never paid attention to her.Charles frowned andresponded, “Do you mean Astrid's purpose was not to marry Christopher but to make Samuel andChristopher fight each other?"*I can't think of any reasons other than that,” replied Kathleen in a lowvoice.”I'll look into this.” Standing up, Christopher shot a meaningful look at Kathleen and said,"Anyway, their plan won't work."“Chris, your grandpa believes Astrid no matter what. You should bemore cautious when handling this matter,” reminded Kathleen.Christopher said coldly, “I don’tbelieve Grandpa will still trust her when the evidence is right in front of his eyes."Hearing that,Samuel sneered. “Your grandpa will certainly say Astrid did that because she loves you toomuch.”Christopher pursed his lips.Turning around to look at Kathleen, Christopher uttered, “Still, Ihave never touched her.”"Okay. I understand.” Kathleen nodded."I'll go back first. I'll deal with allthese and ask you out on another day.” Christopher stared at Kathleen meaningfully.A gleamflashed through Kathleen's eyes. “I will join the film set on the day after tomorrow.”She was going tofilm.Christopher said solemnly, “Okay, I'll visit you at the film set.”With that, he turned around andleft. Samuel smirked. “He will undoubtedly get nothing from Felix."Walking over, Charles urged,“Have you finished the drink? Quickly leave if you're done.”Looking at Kathleen deeply, Samuel said,“I'm leaving.”Kathleen nodded. "Goodbye."Cough! Samuel coughed a few times before getting upslowly. “I was just discharged from the hospital, and I got wet. My head is aching slightly.”Charleswas speechless at the sight. Where is this jerk's pride?”Wait!” Kathleen called out to Samuel.Samuelraised his head, and his face was full of anticipation.Kathleen turned around and took a box ofmedicine. “Here's some fever medicine. Eat it if you have a fever.”It was Samuel turn to bespeechless.”Haha!” Charles could not hold back his laughter.As the saying goes, “There is no best,only better."Is he trying to gain sympathy from Kathleen? Unfortunately, she doesn't buy thatanymore.“Thank you.” Samuel took the medicine.”You're welcome, Mr. Macari. You should hire ahousekeeper as soon as possible. The trick you used just now is obsolete.” Kathleen looked at himindifferently.
