Chapter 380

Chapter 380 Afraid That You Would Misunderstand “These were brought back by the familywhenever they travel.” Samuel picked up one of them.

“You used to love these things.” “I still like them.” Kathleen picked up one too.

She shook it and watched the snowflakes dance before they slowly landed on the roof of the tinyhouse. Samuel glanced at her sideways.

He could see the joy in her gaze, and his lips curved slightly into a smile.

"Do you want to take them? They were supposed to be gifts for you anyway.” “Take them away?”Kathleen was surprised. “You can keep them here too."Samuel hoarsely uttered, “If you ever comeover or decide to stay here, you'll be able to see them.” After a momentary pause, she responded,“It's fine.

Once you're married in the future, your wife will not be comfortable with seeing my things here.”Samuel snorted.

“Do you really think I'd get a wife?” Kathleen's forehead furrowed.

“It's not impossible, right? There's still a long life ahead of you.

I don't think anyone can predict the future.” As his dark eyes became intense, he narrowed theminto slits.

"You're right.

No one can predict the future.” Feeling chilly from the man's cold gaze, she stated, “I'd like to restfor a bit.” Samuel chuckled in a deep voice.

"You know what? You're afraid of me.” Kathleen was stunned. “Although you've lost your memories,you're afraid of me.” His gaze solemn and gentle, he asked, “What are you afraid of?Are you worriedthat I might eat you or something?” “Don't spout nonsense.” Pursing her lips, she forced herself tobe calm.

“I'm not afraid of you.” Seeing that Kathleen looked like a cat showing its defensive posture, helooked at her with his most gentle gaze.

"Why do you look so agitated if you're not afraid?” Kathleen bit her pink lip.

"You can get out now.” The man's thin lips curved upward.

“Do you know what you're afraid of me doing?” Kathleen frowned upon hearing that. Why is he stilltalking about this? His voice was husky as he continued, “You're afraid thatl would be too nice toyou.

You're scared that you would fall for me.

Aren't you tired of restraining yourself?” “Stop being so full of yourself, Samuel.” Kathleen fumed,“The present me has no feelings for you.” Howcould I still like him? That's just laughable! Who gavehim that confidence? Samuel looked at her meaningfully for a long time.

“Is that so? I must have been too presumptuous, so you can just act as if I had neversaid that.” Heturned on his heel after he spoke. Kathleen felt her anger rising. That d*mned Samuel! Does hethink that I'd still have feelings for him? That's just unthinkable! I don't have feelings for him at all!From what I heard from Charles, all I know about that man is that he's the father of my two children.That's all.

I will not give anyone a chance to hurt me.

Never! Kathleen was about to leave after she ate at the Macari residence. She wanted to drive home,but Samuel wanted tosend her back. They soon stood in the yard. Kathleen mocked, “Please don'tsend me back—I'm worried you would misunderstand that I have feelings for you!” As she finished,she got into the car.

After slamming the door shut, she drove away. Watching the distancing vehicle calmly, he thoughtthat she was pretty irritable. I guess that also gives me a pieceof mind.

I just don't want her to feel pressured whenever she's with me. Meanwhile, Kathleen got homealone. As soon as stepped into her house, Charlesgave her a call. “Kate, are you home?” Charles’deep voice sounded. “Yeah,” Kathleen huffed. Charles smiled as he asked, “Did Samuel get on yournerves?” “He thinks I still have feelings for him.” “Oh.

Don't you?” Charles questioned in confusion. Kathleen refuted, “Not at all.

Am I stupid? Why would I give him another chance to hurt me?” “He was definitely in the wrongback then.

But he has already paid the price for it.” Charles spoke calmly. “Charles, who's side are you on?”Kathleen soundedmad. Charles chuckled.

"Of course, I'm always on your side.

I just think that Samuel has already paid for it.

That's alll” Kathleen let out a light snort as soon as she heard him. “Let's stop talking about thatfornow.

Didn't you mention something about starting your own company before? Why don't you come tohelp mein Brilliance Corporation?” Charles asked. “That's right.” With a nod, she added, “If you needmy help, of course, I'll lend you a hand.

However, I still want to start my own company.” “Okay.” Charles smiled gently.

“Then you should help me with something first.”

Kathleen pouted.

"You're already putting me to work that quickly?” “To be honest, I have a movie on hand,and thelead actress needed is under Divine Corporation.

That company's CEO would not let her work with us,” Charles explained. “Oh?” Kathleen wonderedout loud, “Evenwith your capabilities, the other party still refused?” “And that's where you come in.The other party seems to be suffering from some sort of invisible illness.

I'd like you to go check up on him.” “I see.” Kathleen nodded in agreement.

"Sure, that's not a big deal.

When should I go see him?” “We'll be going together tomorrow,” he answered. “I'm fine with that.Then I'll see you tomorrow,” Kathleen replied lazily.

"Okay.

Be sure to sleep early.” Charles then hung up. Laying down her phone, she pinched the spacebetween her eyebrows. Suddenly, her phone's ringtone sounded. Shepicked up her phone and sawa message from Samuel. He texted: Are you home yet? Kathleen replied: Yes. Samuel responded: Tellme when you get home next time, or I'll have to go to your place to check up on you. Kathleen wasdumbstruck. All of a sudden, she heard the engine of a car outside. Momentarily stunned, shestarted to wonder. He can't be outside, can he? She stepped toward the window and lookedoutside.

That's Samuel's car... A black Maybach was outside of her home.

As the window rolled down, a slender hand could be seen extending out.

The long fingers were clasping on a cigarette. Kathleen instantly stiffened. She responded in aheartbeat: Why did you come? Samuel stated: I thought you weren’t home, seeing thatthe lights ofthe mansion are still off. Kathleen texted back: I got a phone call and forgot to turn them on. Shethen spun around to turn on the lights before adding: You can leave now. Taking a drag, he replied:Okay. Samuel retracted his hand and drove away. Only then did Kathleen heave a sigh of relief.Sitting on the couch, she massaged the space between her brows. Maybe Samuel was right.

The nicer he is to me, the more I'm afraid of him.

Can't I stay strong? Would I fall for him once again? The next day, Kathleen went to BrillianceCorporation. Charles personally waited at the lobby to greet her. Walking in, shesaw her picturehung in the lobby.

That was a picture from five to six years ago. “I'm not an actress anymore.” Kathleen pointed at herpicture. “I don't think so, though.” Charles smiledas he suggested, “Do you want to have a lookaround? The present Brilliance Corporation is pretty big.” “No thanks,” Kathleen refused, shaking herhead. “I need to head back sometime soon.

There are some things regarding Blissful Sect that needs to be handled.

Can you look after the place while I'm gone?” Charles asked earnestly. With a serious expression,Kathleen replied with a question, “Is Raymond on the move?” “Two days ago, there wasa bit of aclash between Blissful Sect and Axeworth Corporation.

Both sides are at an impasse.

He wants my help.” “It's going to be dangerous.” Kathleen uttered in worry, “Charles, I don'tthinkyou should go.

I can prepare some drugs to make you look like you're actually sick.” Nevertheless, Charles shookhis head.

“If 1 don't go, he'll make Wyatt come.” I don't want Kathleen to be entangled with Wyatt. With afrown etched on her face, Kathleen remarked,”It seems that I have burdened you again, Charles.”Charles smiled faintly in response.

“Don't say that.

If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be having so many issues.
