Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 261

Chapter 261 Stop Seeing Each OtherThe only woman Samuel had touched in his life wasKathleen.Ever since he and Kathleen were divorced, he had been abstaining from hisdesires.However, he almost lost control of himself when he saw Kathleen earlier. Thus, he quicklyreturned to the room and did his best to suppress his burning desire After taking a shower, hestepped out of the room, coincidentally bumping into Kathleen, who was also coming out at thesame time.Kathleen was dressed in an off-shoulder sweater, which revealed her fair shoulders anddelicate collarbones, making her look incredibly cute and sexy.On her waist hung a black skirt, whichgave her an elegant vibe. When Samuel saw her pink cheeks, the incident from a while agoimmediately came to his mind.He finally realized Kathleen was too attractive for him.Samuel clearedhis throat. “Uh..."“Samuel, we were once a married couple. I can tell how many moles you have onyour body. In fact, I can even tell you where they are.” Kathleen was surprisingly calm.Samuel wasstunned.”So, you don't have to be too bothered about it. I'd be mad if you had kept staring at me,but you didn't. You turned around right away. So, I'm not mad at you,” Kathleen said softly.Samuelmerely gazed at her without saying a word."Let’s go.” Kathleen descended the stairs.As she walkedbeside Samuel, her body gave out a unique scent.Samuel took a whiff and smiled.Her scent is stillthe best!After lunch, Wynnie suggested a game of poker.With so many people at home, she wouldnot waste the opportunity for a game.”I'm sorry, Mrs. Macari. Samuel and I won't be playing. We'vegot to pop by the mall to get some things,” Kathleen explained.”Oh, sure. Go ahead, then.” Wynnieshot Samuel a gaze that seemed to imply something. “You know what to do as a man, right?"“Whatdo you mean?” Samuel asked in puzzlement."Have you become stupid? Did you let Nicolette paywhen you went shopping with her back then?” Wynnie whispered.”Mom, why are you bringing herup?” Samuel was upset.”I'm just worried you'll have double standards. You know, where you'll bewilling to spend your money on Nicolette instead of Kathleen,” Wynnie retorted.Her words renderedSamuel speechless.Meanwhile, Kathleen, who heard everything, felt slightly dumbfounded.”Let'sgo.” Samuel turned around and pulled Kathleen with him.After getting into the car, Samuelmassaged his temples. “Don't believe my mom's nonsense. I barely went shopping withNicolette.”"Okay."” Kathleen looked unfazed as if she couldn't be bothered by it. A wave of frustrationwashed over Samuel.He felt as if he had been screwed over by his own mother.”l was busy studyingand managing the company at that time. I really didn’t have time for all that,” explainedSamuel.Kathleen threw him a glance. “Samuel, that's all in the past. Don't be so nervous. Just bearwith the teasing. It's not like you didn't do those things, anyway. No one would talk about it if youdidn't do it."She snickered inwardly.Samuel fell silent."Let's go.” Kathleen fastened her seatbelt.Samuel fastened his seat belt obediently and started driving.Soon, they arrived at a nearbymall.First, Kathleen brought Samuel to the down jacket section.Since Samuel rarely wore othercolors, Kathleen chose a dark blue down jacket for him.At the same time, she picked a black one forherself.Samuel frowned. “I want a black one, too."That way, we'll have a matching set.Kathleen wasdumbfounded. “You already have a black one.”Samuel pursed his lips, looking upset.His behaviormade Kathleen speechless.Why is he acting like a child?Seeing that, Kathleen had no choice but toget a black one for him.Only then did he huff to express his satisfaction.At a loss for words, Kathleencarried the clothes and walked to the counter.’Please send these to the Macari residence. Thankyou,” she said.The employee was elated when she recognized Kathleen and Samuel. “Ofcourse.”Kathleen turned to look at Samuel, who stood not too far away. “Come over andpay.”Samuel furrowed his brows. “You're the one buying it for me. So why should I be the one topay?"“Didn’t your mom lecture you just now? Have you forgotten about it already?” Kathleen asked,snickering.”But you're the one who wanted to buy it for me,” Samuel persisted.Kathleen wasstumped.”Hurry up and pay for it,” Samuel urged. Oddly enough, their roles had beenswitched."You're the worst, Samuel.” Resignedly, Kathleen pulled out her phone and scanned thecode for payment.Samuel was delighted, but he still instructed the employee in a cool manner,“Make sure they arrive at my house today."”Don’t worry, Mr. Macari. I'll send someone to deliver itin a while.” Naturally, the employee did not dare to cause any delays.”Good.” Samuel nodded withsatisfaction.Kathleen rolled her eyes at him.”Let's go. You still owe me a set of clothes.” Samuelgrabbed her wrist and walked away.Kathleen had no choice but to follow him out of the store.Aftera while, they arrived at the only store in the mall that sold high-end suits.Some of Samuel's suitswere from that brand.However, the suit he wore often came from another store that sold high-endcustom-made suits.It would take a week for the clothes to be ready if they ordered them at thatmoment. There was not enough time for that. Thus, Kathleen chose that store.She selected a darkblue suit that had dark-colored stripes and two rows of buttons.She thought that suits with tworows of buttons were suitable for wealthy bosses.Samuel had a slender figure and an elegant aura,which made the suit look more suitable for him.Moreover, it looked right on him, for it was a three-piece suit. Samuel took the suit as she handed it to him. Suddenly, he mumbled, “If I remembercorrectly, Charles’ suit came with a shirt."Kathleen glared at him furiously. “Samuel, how is it I nevernoticed how calculative you are?"Samuel grinned. “It's not too late to notice it now.”"Ugh!” Kathleenturned around, picked a light blue shirt, and tossed it to him.Catching the shirt, Samuel entered thefitting room.It did not take long for him to walk out.The dark-blue suit with two rows of buttonsmatched with a light-blue, vintage-looking shirt suited Samuel to a tee. His elegant aura instantlyradiated off him.Kathleen smiled with satisfaction. “It looks good on you.”Samuel stared at himselfin the mirror. He, too, was satisfied.It was an undeniable fact that Kathleen had great taste.”l need atie,” Samuel uttered.Hearing that, Kathleen turned and picked out a tie. “That's right. A tie makes asuit like this look better.”She chose a dark blue tie, helped him put it on, and straightened hisoutfit. As Samuel fixed his eyes on her, who stood just a few steps away, a bittersweet feelingflooded his heart.Finally, Kathleen withdrew her hands. “All right. Have a look. Do you likeit?"Samuel turned around and stared at his reflection.However, his gaze fell on Kathleen.She looksso gentle and cute.Despite that, waves of grief crashed against the wall of his heart. “I like it." That'sgood to hear.” Kathleen heaved a sigh of relief. With that, she went to the counter to settle thebill.This time, she could only pay by card.When the transaction was done, she received a text abouther payment. can't believe I used up over a million just like that. This is so sad."What's with thatlook on your face?” asked Samuel when he returned from the fitting room, already dressed in hisown clothes.”l spent over a million today. It'll take several stunt shootings to get that amount back.”Kathleen's heart wrenched with pain as she thought about that."That's nothing. I'll help you get itback after the New Year. Don't forget. You still have Macari Group's shares,” Samuel saidconfidently.Kathleen frowned, nonplussed. “Are you really not going to take those sharesback?"“That's right.” Samuel nodded.Pursing her lips, Kathleen asked, “What if I say we should stopseeing each other since you don't want it back?”
