Chapter 165 One FamilyThree hours later, Kathleen finally knocked off work. When she returned tothe lounge to get changed, Samuel was indeed still there.She drew the curtains and began toundress.After a while, Samuel did not hear any movements from the changing room, so he asked,“Kate, are you all right?"*I'm fine,” she answered in an incredibly soft voice.”"What's wrong?” hequeried worriedly.”Could you get Valerie here for me?” Kathleen muttered awkwardly.She hadwanted to use her phone, but she could not reach for it as she had left it on the dressing table.Theman furrowed his brows and questioned, “Is it that time of the month?”She gave no response.Waitthere,” he said before walking out.Kathleen waited patiently. Finally, Samuel returned five minuteslater.With a bag in his hand, he reached past the curtains and into the changing room.She noticedthat there were new underwear and sanitary pads in it.“Thank you.” Her face heated up. “There's onemore thing,” she whispered.”Do you need painkillers?” Samuel frowned. “I'll go and get some.""No,no!” Kathleen quickly shook her head. “Could you please pass me the bathrobe that's hung outside?I forgot to grab my clothes earlier, and it will be troublesome if I dirtied the film set's costume."Theman noticed a black bathrobe hung outside and took it to pass to her.“Thank you!” She took thebathrobe and immediately draped it over her body before coming out from behind the curtains.Herfair, exquisite face was currently as red as an apple.Carrying the bag, she hurriedly walked towardthe restroom.Samuel smirked at the sight of that. What's there to be shy about?After a good fiveminutes, Kathleen came out of the restroom, her expression looking a lot more relaxed.She grabbedher clothes and went into the changing room to get changed once more.In the meantime, Samuelsat quietly on the couch and kept himself busy.Kathleen could not help but realize that one ofSamuel's greatest merits was his patience After she was done, she came out and said, “Sorry to keepyou waiting.” told you, I'll always have the patience to wait for you."The woman fixed her gaze onhim. “I was just about to praise you for having such good manners to wait this long patiently.” Italso depends on whether the person is worthy of my time.” Samuel's voice was deep with a hint ofaffection. "You're the first.” don't believe it!” Kathleen refuted firmly. “Have you never waited forNicolette?""She never dared make me wait,” he replied indifferently. “She was always the one tryingto please me. Although she had saved my life, what she needs more are the status and identity I cangive her. There was always a clear line when it came to our relationship.”He did not mind telling hereverything.Kathleen pursed her lips, saying nothing.Samuel then stood up and added coldly, “As forwhat you said about her and me previously, I can swear I've never touched her. If I did, I'd rot inhell."Once again, the woman was at a loss for words Kathleen followed Samuel as they returned tothe Macari residence.As soon as they entered, Wynnie said, “Samuel, what's the matter withyou?"The man bent over and handed Kathleen a pair of adorable bunny indoor slippers to changeinto.”What is it this time?” he asked blandly.Wynnie lowered her voice, slightly concerned aboutKathleen. “You're trending online.”"What for?” Samuel furrowed his brows.How could he not knowabout it?"You went to the convenience store and bought underwear and sanitary pads for somewoman! The paparazzo captured everything!” Wynnie grumbled."They are truly idle, huh?” hescoffed Kathleen blushed upon hearing that. Is such a piece of news even worth the buzz?"Do youknow everyone is suspecting that you have a new lover? Who did you buy those things for!” Wynnieboomed.Samuel let out a sigh, then said to Kathleen, “Take off your coat. It's warm in thehouse.”"You don't have to tell me that,” the woman replied and did just that.She wore a fluffy pinksweater and a black knitted skirt on the inside, making her look both sweet and stunning."Mom, gether a painkiller,” Samuel requested calmly.“It's fine,” Kathleen answered as her face reddened inembarrassment.This incident is already trending online. Now, everyone knows I'm on my period.Let's just hope Samuel doesn't clarify it."Kate, are you not well?” Wynnie asked concernedly.”Um, myback... hurts.” Kathleen's delicate countenance flushed exceedingly.”Your back? Have you seen thedoctor?” Wynnie was worried that it was the after-effect of that incident a year ago.Samuel lookedcasually at his mother and asked, “Mom, when do you think a woman's back would hurt?"“It canhurt anytime!”Samuel was rendered speechless Pfft!Kathleen couldn't hold back her laughteranymore.“Mrs. Macari, Samuel actually bought those things for me,” she stated bashfully."Oh.”Wynnie was calm for a moment before realization dawned on her. “What!"After dinner, Kathleenwent to visit Diana and confessed everything.The latter furrowed her brows. “So, your mother is thedaughter of Frances?""Mm.” Kathleen nodded.Diana mulled it over before saying, “Since you'recertain about it, you should go to the Yoeger residence immediately.”“Charles and I are beingcautious because we're not sure how Old Mrs. Yoeger feels about this. It's a tricky situation, after allIf Vanessa really played a part in not allowing Old Mrs. Yoeger to look for my mother, I have nochoice but to take revenge,” Kathleen explained.Diana understood Kathleen's intentions. “If youhave evidence, I'm sure Frances won't play dumb. However, you are right; it is a tricky situation.Furthermore, there are a ton of problems within the Yoegers at present, and Vanessa can be said tobe the one leading the family right now. If you really want to avenge your mother, I doubt Franceswill let you lay hands on Vanessa.”Kathleen nodded in agreement. “That's why I was hoping you'd beable to arrange a meeting for me with Old Mrs. Yoeger. I want to know more about the relationshipamong the Yoegers first. I initially wanted to wait until Old Mrs. Yoeger's birthday banquet to do so,but I don't think I can wait that long anymore.” That'll be a piece of cake,” Diana said solemnly. Shethen called out to Wynnie.Wynnie swiftly entered the room. “Did you call for me, Mom?"“Let’s nothost the charity auction I mentioned to you outside anymore. Let's do it at home,” Dianastated.”Sure.” Wynnie nodded.Diana then turned to Kathleen and said, “The few of us have a charityhome where we organize a charity auction annually.”*I'm aware.”“It happens to be my turn to host itthis year. I'd intended to replace a suitable venue for the event, but since you wish to meet Frances, I'llhost it here at home.” Diana truly doted on Kathleen."Thank you, Old Mrs. Macari,” Kathleen said inappreciation.Diana grinned. “What's there to thank me for? You don't have to be so courteous withme!"“Old Mrs. Macari, if you ever need my help, feel free to let me know.""Just focus on yourfilming. I'll help you settle everything else,” Diana reassured.Kathleen was deeply grateful as shelooked at the elder.Diana held the former's hand and remarked smilingly, “I'm really delighted youshared this with me and allowed me to help you with it. It shows that you still see us as your family.”
