Chapter 161 Still Has Feelings For HimSamuel accepted the plate, his lips twitching when heglimpsed the word written on the slice of cake.He then fixed his gaze on Kathleen.Kathleen wassitting next to Diana and having a delightful conversation with the latter.From the way Dianabeamed with joy, one could tell she was genuinely happy.Samuel remained silent as he sawthat.Calvin nudged him with his shoe. “Stop looking. She's not yours anymore.”"Dad, do you thinkmaking fun of me is interesting?” Samuel ate the cake even though he did not enjoy desserts. Thereason was simple—Kathleen had given it to him."Mull it over. If it weren't for you, mygrandchildren would be calling me Grandpa by now.” Calvin felt depressed when he brought up theissue. Whenever he was reminded of that, he felt like hitting Samuel.It was not an easy feat to bepregnant with twins.Yet, the children were gone.Samuel did not say a word.Losing the children wasthe biggest regret in both Kathleen and his life.lt was also a traumatic experience for the Macarifamily.If the children were still alive, Samuel would already be hearing them calling him “Daddy."Notlong after, Charles came over.He greeted Diana and the rest nicely. However, Samuel did not receivethe same treatment.Despite that, Samuel was not bothered by Charles’ attitude.His family memberswere always being mean to him anyway.The celebration ended when everyone had the cake. AsKathleen prepared to leave, Diana was not willing to let her go.She held Kathleen's hands and said,“When you're done with shooting, come over and stay with me for a few days, will you?"“Sure.”Kathleen nodded. “Old Mrs. Macari, I will. I promise you.”I'm a man with elegance. If she's coming tostay over, I—"By then, I will prohibit Samuel from coming anywhere close to the place. Restassured.” Diana smiled.Hearing that, Samuel was at a loss for words.Kathleen was flushed.”Goodbye,Old Mrs. Macari. See you, Mr. and Mrs. Macari,” she said.”See you again. Be careful on the wayback,” Diana reminded.Soon, both Kathleen and Charles left the place.After sending Kathleen off,Diana narrowed her eyes at Samuel. “I had wondered what motivated you to attend the event,Samuel. Don't tell me you had no idea Kate would be joining the competition today!"“So what if Ihad? It's all part of my plan to get Kathleen back,” Samuel coldly responded.”How shameless! You'rethe one who lost yourself when Nicolette returned. Not that just, but you even forced Katie todivorce you within three days!” Diana fumed.Samuel did not say a word.Don’t even mention thatmatter again. I regret what I've done.”Katie and Christopher are not together now, but that doesn’tmean it's impossible between them. Don't be arrogant. There's no way to tell who Katie will chooseat the end!” Diana coldly responded.“That's right! Now, you've finally realized how good Kate is. Justwhat were you even thinking back then?” Wynnie uttered angrily. After saying that, she led Dianaback to her room.Calvin approached Samuel with a grin.”If you're going to say the same thing asthem, save your breath,” Samuel said indifferently.”Is this how you speak to your father? I was aboutto say I want to help you!” Calvin was frustrated.Samuel said coldly, “I'm not expecting any goodplans from you.”“Fine! I won't help you then! You're an insensible guy. Despite how adorable youwere when you were young, I feel like kicking you in the butt now,” Calvin fumed.With a frown,Samuel questioned, “Any ideas?"*I refuse to tell you. I want to piss you off!” Calvin was a man withcharacter.Although he did not dare to be mad at Wynnie, he did not hold himself back whenspeaking to Samuel.”Dad?” Samuel said in exasperation."Don’t call me that!” Calvin drank hiscoffee."Do you still want to have a grandchild?” Samuel frowned.Calvin put down the cup. “I wouldhave gotten my grandchildren if it weren't for you!""Without me, you won't even have the chance tohave grandchildren,” Samuel responded indifferently.Calvin snorted.”I will be leaving now if yourefuse to talk.” Samuel picked up his jacket.”Stop right there!” Calvin approached. With a deep voice,he responded, “The appearance of Astrid was all it took to replace out whether Kathleen andChristopher had serious feelings for each other. Do you know what that means?"“What?" Samuelput on his jacket.Calvin spoke seriously. “In some relationships, you can only tell if you truly lovesomeone when a third wheel appears. Do you think I can't tell Kate has a small spark of affection forChristopher? Although that spark isn't enough for her to pursue an intimate relationship, theywould have gotten together if it weren't for Astrid's presence.”Samuel remained silent.Calvin added,"Astrid's presence cleared things up for Kate, causing her to be aware that she doesn't likeChristopher that way. If she had, nothing Astrid did would have changed that.”"What are you tryingto say?” Samuel was not sure why Calvin was telling him all these.ls he trying to upset me?“You're sodumb. Let me ask you. Why do you think Kate chose to marry you even though she knew you likedNicolette?” Calvin questioned.”Because she was fond of me,” Samuel responded.”Bingo. Kate wasnot bothered by the fact that you liked Nicollete because of her deep love for you,” Calvin replied.He subtly implied, “To know what she's feeling for you now, you just have to replace another woman totest the waters. With that, you may replace something out.”A frown marred Samuel'scountenance."Think about it. You will never gain anything in life if you don’t take risks.” Calvinpatted Samuel's shoulder.As soon as he finished his words, he strode out of the room.Samuel fellsilent.Do I really have to do that?After that, he furrowed his brows and left.Once he was gone,Wynnie came out from the corner and returned to her room.”"What kind of stupid scheme did youjust give our son?” Wynnie fumed.Calvin frowned. “What's wrong?"“Kate doesn't like Samuel at themoment. It's hard to tell, but she might feel better knowing he is seeing another woman,” Wynnieworriedly said.In a serious manner, he asked, “Darling, is that what you really think?""What do youmean?” She was puzzled.”l can tell Kate still has feelings for Samuel.” Calvin loosened his tie beforecontinuing, “Previously, Kate mentioned she would be with Samuel if he broke both Nicolette’s legs.However, he failed to do so, and she left. Now, Kate knows Samuel did what she wanted, and it'seven causing him trouble. Do you think she could bear the guilt of that?”"Wynnie was stunned as sheheard that.Calvin went on, “We both know Kate's character well. Do you think she actually wantedSamuel to break Nicolette's legs? All Kate wanted to see was his attitude, and his responsedisappointed her. However, now she knows he had fulfilled her request, and Nicolette is pressingcharges. Do you think she will stand by and do nothing?”His wife kept quiet."One of Kate'sstrengths is her kindness. However, that's also her weakness. She's too kind. It's only a matter oftime before Samuel succeeds in wooing her back.” Calvin narrowed his eyes.”l think you're beingoptimistic.” With a meaningful look, Wynnie responded, “Even if she still has feelings for him, there'sno way to undo the damages. Kate will not be able to accept Samuel another time.”"You want to beton that?” Calvin broke into a wide smile."On what terms?” she asked."If both of them reunite,promise me to put your work at the law firm aside temporarily and travel the world with me. If theydon't, or either one of them is involved in a new relationship, you can be on top and ride on me.”Calvin grinned.
