Chapter 18 Together With Her

Kathleen had not expected the usually gentle and soft-spoken Christopher to get angry.Chris, itwas only a suggestion. He can't do anything if I don't agree to it,” Kathleen said awkwardly."You'retoo easygoing,” Christopher said as he eyed her worriedly."Don't say that. I actually have quite atemper too.” Kathleen's eyes were like beautiful dark orbs.Christopher felt incredibly bad for her.“It's because he forced you to it."Kathleen glanced at Christopher.He really is too nice!"Chris, you'resuch a nice person. Why aren't you married yet?” Kathleen asked curiously. “You're a gentlemanwho's very good at comforting people.”Christopher glanced at her with an unfathomableexpression. “Well, it's because there's no one I like.”“l remember the incident from last year.Grandma said she wanted to introduce a girl to you, but you said you already had someone youliked.” Kathleen suddenly recalled."Yes, but she's married,” Christopher replied cagily.The person wasmarried?“Oh, Chris. I'm so sorry for prying. I won't ask anymore.” Kathleen felt extremelyapologetic."It's okay,” Christopher replied warmly. “If you're done packing up, let's headdownstairs.”“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.Christopher stared at Kathleen. The latter was like an adorablebunny. He really wanted to stroke her head and tell her not to be afraid.However, he had to resistthe urge.If Kathleen really divorced Samuel, Christopher vowed to stay by her side no matter howpainful the road ahead was going to be.Without her asking, Christopher automatically helpedKathleen carry her bag.Kathleen felt embarrassed. She said sweetly, “Oh, there's no need. I can do itmyself."“It's fine.” Christopher was exceptionally gentle.He was going to take good care of her fromthis day onward."Okay.” Kathleen nodded.Then, they stepped into elevator.They were on their wayto the ICU to visit Benjamin.Gemma was keeping watch outside.”Gemma,” Kathleen called out asshe went over. “You're here. Did you have a good rest?"Yes, I did.” Gemma tugged at Kathleen'shand. Glancing at Christopher, she asked, “Who is this?"“My name is Christopher Morris.”Christopher's tone was mild.Gemma gazed at him intently. Flushing slightly, she greeted,"Hello.""How's Benjamin?” Kathleen asked in concern.”Benjamin’s condition has stabilizedsomewhat,” Gemma explained. “The doctors said that they are using the best medicine and that theeffects are better than expected. Kathleen, thank you so much.”*What for?” Kathleen was surprised.”Iheard from the doctors. The Macari family paid for all of Benjamin's medical fees,” Gemmareplied.Kathleen shot Christopher a glance. “Did Wynnie already meet up with the director of thehospital?““She shouldn't have.” Christopher knitted his brows.If it wasn't Wynnie? Then, who wasit?“It was me.” Samuel's icy voice sounded from outside the room.Samuel? Kathleen's gaze turnedcold.Well, it doesn't matter. There isnt much difference between the Macari family's or Samuel'smoney anyway.After all, the Macari family was his."Thank you,” Kathleen said.”He’s your savior. It'sonly natural that I pay for his hospital bills. There is no need to thank me.” Samuel had a darkexpression on his handsome face Just who's wife do you think you are?“Christopher, why are youhere?” Samuel frowned.Samuel and Christopher were only a few days apart in age. Therefore, theformer had never addressed Christopher with deference.”Aunt Wynnie asked me to send Katehome,” Christopher replied impassively.Samuel saw the bag Christopher held in his hand. It wasfilled with Kathleen's daily necessities.Moreover, Christopher and Kathleen both wore turtlenecksweaters. Christopher's was white, while Kathleen's was black. They looked like they were wearingmatching outfits meant for a couple.Samuel’s expression darkened considerably. “What acoincidence. I'm headed home too. I will take her." There's no need.” Kathleen refused in a softvoice. “You're always so busy. I cant possibly inconvenience you. I'll go with Chris instead. There'sno need to trouble yourself.”"Samuel said coldly, “It's currently a busy time at my mother's firm.Christopher would be late to get back to assist her after he sent you. I'll take you home."Kathleenpursed her lips.”Samuel, I've quit working at Aunt Wynnie's law firm,” Christopher repliedcoolly."What?" Kathleen was taken aback. “Chris, did you quit working as a lawyer?"“No, I'm still alawyer. I've only changed firms.” Christopher quirked his lips.“Where did you transfer to?" Kathleenasked curiously.”Morris Group,” Christopher replied.Kathleen was stunned.Christopher went back?When Christopher graduated from university, his father, Aaron Morris, wanted him to help out at hiscompany.However, Christopher had gotten into a huge fight with his father when he first went touniversity.He had wanted to attend medical school, but Aaron had secretly changed his applicationbehind his back.Christopher had been livid when he found out. Following that, the relationshipbetween the father and son became incredibly strained.Despite Emily attempting to act as amediator, things did not improve. However, since Christopher said he had gone back to MorrisGroup, did that mean he had reconciled with his father?Samuel huffed in displeasure.Christopherhad once said, if he returned to the Morris Group, it would be only for one reason.He was willing toreturn to the company for the sake of the girl he loved. He would go back if she needed his aid.So,does that mean the girl he likes needs him? For the sake of some woman, he was willing to give uphis freedom. How ridiculous.Kathleen blinked a few times.Christopher stared at her with a liddedgaze. “I'm all right. It's my choice to do so."For her sake."The Morris Group's business is even busier.We'll take our leave now.” Samuel took the bag from Christopher's hand. He then grabbed ahold ofKathleen's slim wrist and tugged her toward him. “I'll send her back first.”“Gemma, I'll come to visitBenjamin again tomorrow.” Kathleen turned around and told Gemma."Okay.” Gemma looked at herfaintly. With that, Samuel successfully dragged Kathleen away.Christopher wore an unfathomableexpression.Currently, Kathleen was still Samuel's wife in name.Thus, Christopher's hands weretied.When they finally divorced, he would never allow Samuel to take Kathleen away from him everagain.He would never allow that to happen again.Samuel exited the hospital with Kathleen intow.He then stuffed her into the passenger seat of his car.Throughout the way, Kathleen behavedherself. She did not struggle or rebel against him.Although she did not like Samuel touching her,she had to think of the baby in her belly.Kathleen refused to let Samuel harm her baby.After gettingin the car, Samuel asked coldly, “Didn't you use to address Christopher by his name? When did youstart referring to him as “Chris'?"“I can call him by whatever name I wish.” Kathleen's fine white teethbit into her ruby lips. “Just like how I used to call you “Sam,’ or when I called you “Darling’ in bed. Idid as I liked. Now that I don't like you, I'll just use “Samuel.” What's wrong with that?"Samuelsnorted in response Kathleen was right. When they were having an intimate moment, Kathleenwould often call him “Darling” sweetly.At that moment, it melted away all his fatigue.lt made himfeel comfortable and at ease."Why won't you call me “Sam’ anymore?” Samuel's expressionstiffened.”l no longer like you,” Kathleen replied as she stared out of the car window. “That'swhy.”"Hmph!Samuel cleared his throat nervously. He wanted very much to ask why she no longerliked him.However, upon further thought, the answer was blatantly obvious.”Samuel,” Kathleen saiddespondently. “Let's get a divorce. I'm really tired of all this.”
