Chapter 176

Kathleen furrowed her brows. “How did he get better after that?”

“I'm not sure.” Nicolette shook her head. “Anyway, after Samuel harmed himself, he didn't appear inthe castle for three months. When he finally reappeared, he had reverted to his normal self.”Kathleen's frown deepened.

Asking her seems pointless.

Nicolette noticed Kathleen intention to leave.

“Wait. I also overheard the conversation between Samuel and Tyson. However, you have to promiseto release me from this water cell. I'm begging you.” Nicolette pleaded desperately. “I havethalassophobia. I'm terrified of having to soak in seawater.”

Thalassophobia? I have heard such a term before.

"Spit it out then.” Kathleen's tone was cold and detached.

“I heard Tyson say that once Samuel's other personality emerged, he wouldn't sleep. Otherwise, hisoriginal personality would revert.”

So that was it? It indeed matches the majority of people who have this disorder.

Kathleen started walking away

"Wait, save me, Kathleen!” Nicolette rasped out a plea.

Nonetheless, Kathleen pretended not to hear her.

“You liar!” Anger welled up within Nicolette

Everyone is a har!

When noon came. Samuel came down from the second floor

He could smell the aroma of food that was drifting from the kitchen

When he entered the kitchen, he saw Kathleen in a pink apron, and how she even had her hair tiedup in a high ponytail. The woman had immersed herself in cooking

The sight of the harmonious and heartwarming scene malted Samuel's heart

Nevertheless, he immediately suppressed the writhing of his heart.

Kathleen whired around upon hearing the commotion. “I was just about to call for you. It's time toeat.”

Samuel crossed his arms. What do you mean by that, Mg. Johnson7”

“It's nothing. I just didn't want you to get hungry.” Kathleen smiled in a way that looked nothing likea smile. “Can you help to prepare two plates of pasta?”

Samuel stared at her.

“Hurry up.” Kathleen urged. “We should split the housework equally. If I prepare the dishes, thenyou should do the dishes

Samuel let out a cold snort before setting up the dining table.

After that, he brought the two plates of pasta and placed them on the table

There were already three other dishes and a bowl of soup on the table, all prepared by KathleenEvery dish looked absolutely mouth-watering.

Samuel took his seat.

It was his first time trying out Kathleen's cooking.

Just then, Kathleen brought out the final dish she had prepared.

After setting it on the dining table, she took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet beside her.“I never thought you would possess such good quality wine. Kathleen placed the alcohol beforeSamuel “How about a drink?”

Samuel replied indifferently. “Are you sure?”

“Do you need to be that calculative over a bottle of wine? Kathleen grinned meekly

Her smile resembled a blooming flower.

A trace of complicated emotions flashed through Samuel's eyes as he gazed at her

After opening the wine bottle, Kathleen filled Samuel's wine glass to the brim

She knew the alcohol content of this particular wine.

Apart from that, she was also well aware of Samuel's tolerance for liquor

There's no way he wouldn't get drunk after downing this bottle of wine!

She then poured herself a small amount of wine.

Samuel narrowed his eyes. However, he didn't want to expose her.

Kathleen raised the wine glasses. “Cheers.”

Unexpectedly, Samuel not only accepted the wine glass meant for him from Kathleen's hand butalso took her wine glass

He first drank Kathleen's portion before gulping down his.

Kathleen was taken aback by his action.

After putting down the wine glasses, Samuel narrowed his eyes and chuckled coldly. “Ms. Johnson,it seems like you don’t have a good understanding of my illness.”

His words stunned Kathleen

"Sometimes, when the split personality takes over their alcohol tolerance will also change.” Samuel'sfrosty gaze landed on her,

Dimn it! He saw through my ploy!

Kathleen squeezed her fingers, not knowing what Samuel might do next.

As for Sarnuel, he picked up his fork and helped himself to the food she had prepared.

“Take a seat.” Samuel said in a monotonous voice

Kathleen sat down and placed both hands on her thighs. What do I have to do for you to returnSamuel to

me?”

“I'd told you multiple times, Ms. Johnson, Samuel reminded. “He doesn't belong to you. Also, it wasyou who didn’t want him. He's like a piece of trash, and trash should get destroyed.”

Kathleen looked up with bloodshot eyes. Who gave you the right to say so?”

“But isn't that the truth?” Samuel sniggered. “If not for his stupidity which made him believe inNicolette’s lies, would you have lost your baby?”

Kathleen pressed her lips together. “If you were him in the event of an incident, you would alsoassume the first person you saw upon waking up was your savior. Moreover, it was Nicolette whosaid that in the first place. He didn't even have time to differentiate her words,

“You're actually making up some excuses for him?” Samuel's tone was loaded with sarcasm,Kathleen frowned. “I'm just stating the facts.”

Feeling annoyed, she poured herself a glass of wine and was about to drink it.

However, Samuel stopped her and said placidly. “You can't drink.”

Kathleen raised her brows slightly “Why not?”

Samuel responded apathetically, “You just can't

“Haha, I didn't expect you-the alter ego-to care for me.” Kathleen pushed his hand away “Didn“t youdeclare that both of us are merely strangers? So why would I need your concern?”

With that, she finished her glass of wine.

Kathleen had a terribly low alcohol tolerance.

Therefore, her delicate face soon flushed red

Even so, she wanted to continue drinking

Seeing that, Samuel snatched the wine bottle away.

“Let me drink” Kathleen attempted to snatch it back,

Knowing that taking the wine bottle away would be futile, he downed the remaining wine all atonce.

Kathleen glowered at him.

Very well!

She flung her arms around his neck and stared into his piercing eyes “Samuel, how did you end upin this state? You always gave me the cold shoulder during our three years of marriage. But youbecame like this the moment I left your side.”

She was like an octopus clinging onto Samuel's body. Her pair of bright, expressive eyes sparkled asshe said, “Please return Samuel to me. If not, can you give me some time to talk to him?”

Samuel's Adam's apple bobbed “Don't you have anything you want to say to me?”

Kathleen shook her head. “No, I don't”

Samuel commented impassively. “How heartless”

"Could it be that you're also interested in me?” Kathleen questioned while in the state ofintoxication

There was an unfathomable look in Samuel's eyes. “Ms. Johnson, you're thinking too highly ofyourself

Kathleen's brows twitched in response to his words. “Can you let him out? I truly do have somethingto say to him.”

Samuel's breathing grew heavier “Why don’t you kiss me? Kathleen was startled at his requestEven though he’s Samuel, he’s not him in a sense

"You even kissed Caleb before So why can’t you do the game to me?” Samuel scoffed.

He knew about this too?

Kathleen loosened her arms around him. “This is what I need to explain to Samuel

However, Samuel pulled her toward him and pinned her against the wall

Kathleen struggled for a while but to no avail

She bit her lip. What do you think you're doing?

“Ms. Johnson, are you afraid that I'll fall for you and end up not reverting?” Samuel got angered intolaughter

Kathleen stiffened.

What an acute observer! That is what he has in common with Samuel, although I know they are thesame person

“Yes.” She nodded.

Samuel laughed self-deprecatingly. He raised his hand to caress her face before lifting her chin withhis fingertips

His smile deepened. Gradually, he could feel his mind getting foggy, and he collapsed intoKathleen's embrace

The drug effect had kicked in
