Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 353

Chapter 353 Manipulated After breakfast, Kathleen began to browse the web. She wanted to buy apiano for the children. Desi sat next to her. "Mommy, can you not buy a piano?” Hearing that,Kathleen looked at her in surprise. Desi stretched out her little hand and explained, “Every time Iplay the piano, I feel as if my fingers are about to break.” Hearing that, Kathleen smiled. “Then let'sbuy it for Eil. He has long arms.” Eil, who was sitting by the side and reading a book, was speechless.Gemma looked at him sympathetically.

"Okay!" Desi strongly agreed. Kathleen said with a smile, “I heard that practicing the piano can makeyour arms grow longer, and your body will also grow taller. In the future, Eil will grow up to be astall as Daddy, but you will still be this short. When the time comes, Eil will make fun of you for it.”Blinking, Desi asked, “Playing the piano makes a person taller?” “You see how Eil is taller than you?It's because he practices the piano more than you do, and he takes it more seriously,” Kathleen saidwith a smile. Desi could not sit still anymore. “Mommy, hurry up and buy it! Let's buy this white one!This black one is also fine. Just buy one and let them send it here!” If I don't start now, I'll nevergrow taller.

Eil heaved a sigh. She's so easy to be manipulated. At ten o'clock in the morning, two elderly ladiescame to the house. One of them was Amelia Gardner, and the other was Mila Hunt. They were bothin their forties, and they looked like honest people. After all, they had been carefully selected bySamuel. Kathleen said to them, “I don't have any other requests. Your main task is to help me takecare of my two children.” Amelia and Mila nodded. “Noted, Ms. Johnson.” “Also, I don't like peoplewho gossip,” added Kathleen lazily. “Yes.” The two nodded again. “There is nothing else. The rest ofthe things are up to you guys,” Kathleen said flatly. With that, Amelia and Mila went to the room todrop off their luggage.

Then, they started to familiarize themselves with the environment. Truthfully, before coming here,Samuel had already informed them beforehand, so they knew the rules. It was a bright and sunnyday. Kathleen took the children to play on the field of grass. She and Gemma sat under the parasol,having coffee. “Are you and Richard going to get married?” Kathleen asked out of the blue, curious.Gemma blinked, with a shy look on her face. “Maybe.” “You don't seem to be very sure,” Kathleencommented, astonished. Letting out a sigh, Gemma responded, “It's my brother. He doesn't likeRichard. You know he’s a policeman, so he's always suspicious, and Richard has a lot of reallycomplicated things.” “How complicated?” Kathleen was curious. “It's that he...” Gemma trailed off."Actually, I don't know how to put it into words, but I think he’s fine.” “You can think of it this way. Ifhe really has a problem, your brother would have already caught solid evidence by now,” Kathleenexplained. Gemma said helplessly, “I think so, too. I know my brother is worried, but...” TakingGemma's hand into hers, Kathleen plastered a soft smile. “You don't have to worry too much,because your brother loves you very much. If you really want to marry Richard, he will never stopyou. If Richard really wants to spend his life with you, he will have to face the pressure from yourbrother. Who knows, maybe they've already come to terms with each other.” “Would that actuallyhappen?”

Gemma was curious. Kathleen nodded and smiled gently. “If you don't believe me, you can call andask.” “No need. I believe you.” Gemma smiled, making Kathleen chuckle. She then looked at the twochildren, tenderness painted on her delicate face. Later that evening, Gemma was going to work thenight shift, so she left first. Richard came to pick her up. As they left, the two conversed andlaughed, looking like a sweet couple. Just then, when Kathleen was ready to go back, Samuel arrivedin his car. Why is he here again? “Daddy!” Desi rushed out of the mansion immediately. Getting outof the car, Samuel squatted down and hugged her. Looking at the father and daughter duo,Kathleen breathed out a sigh. It seems like Desi is extremely fond of Samuel. Well, it's no wonder,though, considering he raised her since she was a baby. In contrast to his sister, Eil seemed reserved.“Hello, Daddy,” he called. Despite that, he was looking at Samuel with deep admiration. “Yeah.”Samuel nodded. Letting go of Desi, he got to his feet. “I'll leave after seeing them,” he uttered,looking at Kathleen. “They had always been with me, so I'd feel a bit empty if I don’t see them athome.” Kathleen nodded. “Oh, well, you've seen them already.”

"Yeah, I'll go back right now.” Samuel's gaze stayed on her face. Had it been the Kathleen who stillhad her memory, he would be invited in, but he knew, as of now, she would not. “I'll be headinginside, then,” Kathleen turned around. Samuel stared at her back, and his heart ached. He knew thatthe former Kathleen loved him, even if she was hurt by him before. The Kathleen now had nofeelings for him at all. Samuel would have panicked in the past, and he would have desperatelymade sure Kathleen still had him in her heart. However, right now, all he had in his heart was pain,as he no longer need to make sure because Kathleen did not love him anymore. Even if he actedpitifully and played some tricks, Kathleen would not be soft-hearted. Samuel stood outside for awhile longer. Afraid that Kathleen would replace him burdensome, he left. Pondering for a moment, hedecided to go to a bar.

The man was born with a strong aura. That was why he would be noticed wherever he went. Oncehe stepped foot into the bar, many people already had their eyes on him. Some women were boldenough to approach him to strike a conversation. However, a few servers stopped them. “I adviseyou not to go near him. You all know who that man is. If you really dare approach him, you'll bechased out of Jadeborough and never return.” Those women were some influencers and celebritiesIf they were really kicked out of Jadeborough, they would be laughed at. Even so, there were alsosome courageous ones. A woman walked over with a charming smile on her face. “Hello, Mr. Macari,I'm Lillian. Have you seen any of my work?” Samuel ignored her. He was drinking brandy, but he didnot dare to drink much. It was because he knew that he had poor health, but he still wanted tonumb himself with alcohol. Hearing the woman's voice, he felt annoyed. As he did not reply, Liliancontinued, “My new film is being broadcast right now. Although I'm the fourth female lead, ithappens to have my part today. If you're interested, how about we replace a hotel and watch ittogether?”

Samuel held the wineglass and put it in front of her. Lillian was stunned for a moment, and then shesaid excitedly, “Mr. Macari, are you asking me to drink it? I really—" “Eat the glass,” Samuelinterrupted coldly. “I'll go with you once you manage to do it.” Hearing that, Lillian froze. "How can Ieat glass?” Samuel's eyes were icy cold. “Exactly, yet you still think that you're worthy of me? You'veoverestimated yourself.” Lillian was stunned. At that moment, Tyson walked in from outside. “Mr.Macari, I have some news for you.” Looking at him, Samuel ordered, “Get this woman out ofJadeborough.”
