Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 203

Chapter 203 Fancied HimCharles showed her an impatient look. “Me, fancying him? Even if I were awoman, I'd do better than a sc*mb*g like this!"“On a more serious note,” Kathleen said sternly,"Samuel will be staying here, with nobody to take care of him. If you're not busy, you should stayhome and help out.""What?" Charles vehemently disagreed. “We have a housekeeper, so why doyou need me?"“Wasn't it you who brought up the notion of men and women not being allowedclose contact or something?” Kathleen simpered.Charles was about to retort but was forced to keepquiet.”If you don't want to, then you can help me get a week's leave. I will take care of him myself,”Kathleen said coldly.”No!” Charles objected.Kathleen frowned at him.Charles was very angry. “I willtake care of him. You're not allowed to leave work!"“Then I'm leaving him in your capable hands.”Kathleen smiled faintly. “Wait, I will write down a schedule for you. With that, you'll know when togive him his medicine and when he needs a soak."Charles was full of anger."Charles, you are thebest!” Kathleen took his hand.Charles could then feel his anger dissipate slightly.”By the way, how isVivian?” Charles looked at Kathleen, his expression mild.Kathleen hesitated for a moment. “Bothgood and bad, I suppose.”"How can I cure her?” Charles asked with concern. “Tell me, I'll replace away."“Charles, Vivian's situation is quite complicated.” Kathleen said quietly, “She has suffered fromquite a shock.”“Apart from Finn abandoning her, is there another reason?” Charles askedcoldly.Kathleen hesitated for a moment, then murmured, “Yes."Charles snapped, “What is it, then?Answer me!“Kathleen didn't know how to tell him.“It's fine, you can tell me.” Charles had preparedhimself mentally for this.Kathleen hesitated and said, “She was violated."Charles was shocked.”Itwasn't just one person.” Kathleen looked desolate. “She doesn't even know who the child in herwomb belongs to."Charles’s face turned pale. “Really?"“Vivian was not in the right mind, but Imanaged to deduce that much from her rambling. Caleb was with her at the time, but he did notsay anything.” Kathleen fiddled with her sleeve before continuing, “Of course, Caleb had everyintention of replaceing out who hurt Vivian, but maybe he's also testing me."Charles frowned. “Testingyou?"“Wait, surely you don't think that Caleb and I are truly dating?” said Kathleensardonically.Charles blinked.”He approached me to replace out who hurt Vivian.”"What?" Charles wasdumbfounded at the revelation.Kathleen thought it was funny. “You don't really think I like Caleb, doyou?"“He... Why does he need to figure this out?” Charles frowned. “Could it be that it's someoneshe knows?"*I think so.” There was a chill in Kathleen's voice. “If it were anyone else, Caleb wouldhave done whatever he could for revenge long ago. He probably didn't know who or where thishappened, so he thought of using me to his advantage. Or rather, he combed through a list of menthat Vivian got along with well. Since you are a known acquaintance, he decided to make a move onme."Charles looked at Kathleen pointedly. “You know this, and you're still dealing with him?"“I justwanted to use Caleb to get rid of Samuel,” Kathleen replied. “But I didn't expect Samuel to becomelike this.”“But why not use Christopher?” Charles asked, his tone thoughtful. “Are you reluctant tohurt Christopher, or do you think he’s not even qualified?"Kathleen was flustered.Charles sighed.“I'm guessing that deep down, you think that Samuel is much better, don't you?""Don’t you thinkso?" Kathleen was quiet.Charles smiled faintly. “I mean, it's only through my understanding ofsomeone like Samuel. I think this man is not only unfathomable but also very shrewd. You can't tellhis temper, and you don’t know what can set him off. His heart is bottomless, but I understand yourfear of Samuel's feelings."Although after Kathleen came back, Samuel had been behaving very

well. He was gentle, considerate, and patient with Kathleen.However, he remained just asdomineering at everyone else.However, he could not be blamed fully for this. After all, what Samuelhad experienced was different from everyone else.That was also how he ended up that way.Becauseshe could not read his emotions well, Kathleen was afraid.Samuel could see through others, butothers could never do the same with him.That was the most terrifying part of him.”But since Caleb isapproaching you with a purpose, no matter how good you are, you can't want this kind of man.”Charles was most worried about Kathleen.”Charles, I only want to get to the bottom of this situationinvolving Vivian. I also don't want you to end up in trouble,” explained Kathleen.Charles paused. “Iwill ask him to make it clear. I think he shouldn't need to hide his intentions.”“Can I listen in on thiswhen you speak to Caleb?” murmured Kathleen. “I'm also curious about you and what kind of lifeyou lived back then.”Charles was also very secretive about his past.Kathleen had always wanted toknow, but Charles revealed very little. He said that his secrecy was also to help his friends.If he waswilling to reveal that to Caleb, she wanted to know too.Charles nodded. “Very well.”"Then let's askhim to come over tomorrow. We should do this as soon as possible to avoid dragging this out. It'sno good for all of us,” Kathleen suggested.Charles nodded lightly. “Okay."“But would you bebetraying their trust by doing this?” Kathleen was still a little worried.”No, because he didn't keephis promise,” Charles said coldly. “You don’t have to worry.”A promise? I bet there's a whole story tothat. At that moment, Kathleen yawned."It's getting late. Hurry up and go to bed.” Charles looked atKathleen distressedly. “I'll take care of Samuel.”“Can you manage?” Kathleen yawned again andagain. "You need to give him medicine every three hours.””Don’t worry.” Charles frowned. “Go tobed now. You have to film tomorrow."Fortunately, there are not too many scenes these days,”Kathleen explained. “If you can't manage, you can call me.""Yeah.” Charles nodded.Only then didKathleen walk out, making her way to the guest room for the night.Charles walked toward the bed,grabbed Samuel's collar, and said angrily, “If you really have a conscience, you should stoppestering my sister, or treat her better! Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!"Charles hissed. This manwas truly infuriated.He was aware that Kathleen liked Samuel, but things could not continue thisway. Samuel's behavior had led to Kathleen feeling somewhat fearful. He took Kathleen away anddid not let them meet again.In fact, he promised Kathleen to come back.After all, he did have selfishmotives himself.He wanted to undo the knot in Kathleen's heart so she could move on.However, hethought that even she could not undo it on her own.Perhaps it had to do with Samuel PerhapsSamuel could undo the knot for her.Charles sat beside the bed and sighed. “Samuel, what do youwant Kate to do? She gave you everything. Is Christopher bad? Caleb too? Are they not goodenough? She doesn't even like them, and it's all because she loves you still.”
