Chapter 19 Sweetheart

"What if I reject?” Samuel said coldly."Why?" Kathleen's voice was aloof. “After our divorce, you canmarry Nicolette.”Samuel remained silent.”Are you still hoping that I will donate my bone marrow?”Kathleen's gentle voice was emotionless. “Samuel, give it up. I will not donate my bone marrow toNicolette.”Samuel continued driving indifferently. “So there's no space for negotiation then?"“No.”Kathleen remained firm on her decision and shook her head.What will happen to my baby if Idonate my bone marrow to Nicolette? My baby will not become the sacrificial offering to their

love. Samuel stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed.Kathleen tightened her grip on thecar door’s handle, and her face turned pale.Upon reaching the Macari residence, Kathleen alightedand vomited into the flower bed with her back bent.Her fair-skinned and small face was completelypale.Samuel regretted driving so fast earlier.“Are you okay?” Samuel went over to support her."Getlost!” Tears streamed from Kathleen's eyes.She appeared more pitiful after suffering grievances withher originally fragile appearance.“What happened?” Maria walked out of the mansion. “Mrs. Macari,are you okay?"“I'm fine, Maria.” Kathleen wanted to stand up, but her legs were wobbly.Mariaquickly supported her.Everyone in the Macari family except Samuel knew that Kathleen's bodyconstitution had been weak As Kathleen was small-sized, everyone felt sorry for her every time sheput up a strong front and refused to tell when she was unwell.She did not have any parents.Although she was married into the Macari family, she did not have a sense of belonging as Samueldisliked her.Kathleen always presented herself as a guest in the house.Samuel scooped Kathleen upin his arms and walked toward the mansion.”Open the door,” he said to Maria.lmmediately, Mariaran forward and opened the door.Samuel carried Kathleen upstairs and went to their room.By thattime, Kathleen was brawling her eyes out.The nauseous feeling that she got from the pregnancy wasunbearable.At the thought of her earlier suffering, her little hands held onto the man’s white shirtwhile she cried uncontrollably.She refrained from crying downstairs because she was afraid Dianawould hear it. Hence, she only cried after entering the room.Samuel carried her and sat on the bed,putting her on his lap like he was holding a child.”Don’t cry anymore. You have sensitive skin. It'llredden when you cry.” Samuel wiped her tears with his cold and rough fingers.He had never seenher crying so hard.”Samuel, how could you bully and threaten me?” Kathleen cried terribly and saidgrievingly,” The woman you like is your sweetheart, but I'm also the sweetheart of others!"“Whosesweetheart are you?” Samuel asked coldly.Did someone tell her that she was theirsweetheart?”Grandma, your mother, everyone! Just not yours.” Kathleen sobbed. “If my parentswere alive and knew how you bullied me, they would definitely come after you!"Samuel's gazeremained on her."Just because I have no kin left and no one can teach you a lesson for me, you'rebullying me for all you want! You're too much, Samuel!” Kathleen continued sobbing and wasbreaking down.She had been tolerating for the past few days.Samuel heaved a sigh. He hugged herwhile patting her back lightly with one of his hands.”I agreed to your request to keep our divorcefrom Grandma and the rest of your family. What else do you want from me?” Kathleen choked whilesobbing, “Do you want to see me dead?""No.” Samuel felt helpless.He had never wanted herdead.On the contrary, he felt guilty toward her.Hence, he wanted to take good care of her and notlet anyone bully her despite their divorce.”Samuel, tell me. Was it a mistake to love you?” Kathleen'stender small hands held his collar. “Tell me, was I wrong?”"Samuel's lower jaw tightened, and he saidindifferently, “Kathleen, there's nothing wrong with liking someone else. It's just that I don't haveany feelings for you."Kathleen took a deep breath to stop herself from crying. She was afraid that itmight affect the baby."You're right. There's nothing wrong with liking someone, but please don'ttrample on my love.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “I've already given in and agreed to a divorce.However, you kept forcing me to save Nicolette. Don't you think that's too much? There are somany people out there, and you can easily replace someone else that can donate their bone marrow toNicolette. Why must you make me donate to her? I loved you wholeheartedly. How could youtrample all over my love for you?"Samuel's eyes darkened while looking at her.She finally stoppedher sarcasm toward him and behaved like the gentle person he knew.She complained woefully in atender manner instead of agitating him coldly.Kathleen suddenly thought of something.She camedown from Samuel's lap and took out the black credit card from her bag, throwing it at him. “Take it.Since you've canceled the card, I've no use for it."Canceled?Samuel frowned. “I didn't cancel yourcard."Moreover, he did not intend to take the card back.Samuel thought Kathleen could continueusing his money even though they were divorced.He did not wish for her to be troubled bymonetary matters.From the day that she married him, he had never let her feel worriedfinancially.He did not plan to let it happen in the future as well.”If you didn't cancel it, who else did?"Kathleen said furiously, “In any case, I don't want it. I don't want you. I don’t want to love youanymore. I'm sick and tired."Samuel stood up and paced toward her imposingly.Fluster took overher fair dainty face as she backed away and finally ended up with her back on the door.Samuelplaced an arm against the door and looked at her coldly. “You don't want me and don't love meanymore? You're sick and tired of me?"“That's right!” Kathleen said, her pearly white teeth visible asshe snarled. “You can love whomever you want from now on. I'll look for another man after thedivorce. The next one will be better and more loving.”Uncontrollable rage surged within Samuel.Hegrabbed Kathleen by her chin and mocked, “The next one will be better and more loving? If I'm notletting you go, how will you replace the next one, Kathleen? I'll send you and your new man to prisonfor committing bigamy!“Slap!Kathleen gave Samuel a tight slap and glared at him with her doe-likeeyes. "How shameless can you get, Samuel? I meant after our divorce. Do you think everyone is likeyou and Nicolette?"Samuel smirked. “And what can you do about that?“Kathleen’s whole body wastrembling with anger.Samuel stroked his face and mocked, “Your slap was like a tickle. You wouldeasily make anyone have the thought of bullying you when you're like this."She’s a little rabbit and asoft cake. Soft, cute, tender, and delicate.Kathleen bit her lips and looked at the man who wasclosing in on her. “Samuel, don’t you dare touch me. Otherwise, I'll tell Nicolette.""Go ahead.”Samuel grabbed her wrist. “We'll see if you still have the strength in a while.”"You!" Kathleen glaredat him. "Oomph!”Samuel raised her chin and kissed her lips.A storm then swept across the room.
