Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 41

“I'll pay close attention.” Kathleen encouraged him, “Good luck.”I'll do well because you're here.”Alex blushed slightly as he turned around and walked off.Kathleen blinked.Some people just didn'tknow how attractive they were At the sight, Samuel snorted.At the seminar, there was a seatspecially reserved for Samuel. However, there was only one seat reserved for him.As Federick was theone who brought Kathleen along with him, they naturally sat together.” won't bother Mr. Macarithen,” Kathleen said as she turned to Federick. “Let's go, Federick.”Federick nodded inresponse.“Stop right there,” Samuel demanded coldly.He walked up to Federick and took the seatnumber from the latter's hands as he continued indifferently, “I'll swap seats with you."Federick andKathleen were rendered speechless by his actions.In the end, Samuel still switched seats withFederick.Despite that, Samuel was always the center of attention wherever he went.Even thoughthey were seated in the last few rows, the crowd's gaze constantly remained on him.”l swear I'vegained more attention over the past few days compared to the past three years that I've beenmarried to you,” Kathleen whispered."We haven't even gotten a divorce,” Samuel respondedcoldly.”l know. It's in one month's time,” Kathleen replied as she looked toward the stage.Alex hadalready made his way up onto the stage.Samuel didn't like it when Kathleen looked at other men.Hehoped that he would be the only one in Kathleen's eyes."Kathleen, since you already know that,then why did you still go out with other men?” Samuel asked in a stern tone.”Even you're allowed tosend Nicolette off at night and stay out for the entire night. All we did was go out openly in broaddaylight, unlike the shady business you were up to.” There seemed to be thorns in her sweet voiceas she added, “Samuel, since you could question me on the basis of marriage ethics, why don't youtake a look at yourself first?”If they werent in public, Kathleen genuinely wanted to stand up andleave. As Samuel heard her words, his face darkened.While Alex gave his speech on stage, Kathleenlistened to him attentively.However, it wasn't because she was interested in him.Instead, she wasthinking about how she would handle the situation if it ever happened to her and her child.In thefuture, she would have to deal with everything on her own. Besides making a living, she still had alot of important skills that she had to learn.In fact, she already wasn't expecting much deepdown.“Samuel, don't forget about the divorce agreement,” Kathleen reminded.Samuel remainedsilent.He hadn't been paying much attention to what Alex was talking about.All he heard was thatthere wasn't a conclusion on the causes of autism and how parents should take special care duringpregnancy.Despite that, he felt that he was just worrying too much.Out of the corner of his eye, heglanced at Kathleen's belly. They didn't know when she would give birth yet. After the specialist's talkwas over, the host invited a member of the audience to go up onto the stage to share theirviews.The host then picked a number and announced, “Number two hundred and fifty-one."Kathleen was stunned to hear this. Me? But I don't have any experience.Kathleen waved herhands to refuse it.At this, the host chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. Just come up on stage. No one’sgoing to laugh at you."Kathleen bit her lip.How could I be so lucky? I rarely attend such events, and Ican't believe that I got picked once I went to one.But now, she had no choice but to go up onstage.Once she went up, the crowd started discussing among themselves.“What a pretty girl. Shedoesn't look like she’s married.””"How do you know that she isn't married? Let me tell you this.Beautiful girls and handsome men always marry at a young age.”"No, I stand by my words. I want totake a few photos of her. I'm going to replace a wife just like her in the future.”I also think that shelooks like everyone's first love who could make people's hearts flutter.”As he listened to them,Samuel's expression darkened.How dare these disgusting men talk about my woman likethat!Nonetheless, what they said wasn't wrong.Kathleen indeed looked like everyone's first

love Although she looked similar to Nicolette, the latter didn't really seem to have the face ofeveryone's first love.She just didn't look as innocent as Kathleen.Besides, Kathleen naturally had asweet personality.Just as how one's appearance was a reflection of one’s heart, the two of themexuded completely different auras.As Kathleen stood in front of the microphone, she got slightlynervous. “I'm sorry. I'm just here to listen to the talk. I don't really have a deep understanding ofautism.”It's all right. You can still share your views with us., the female host encouraged hergently.After all, Kathleen had a likable personality, and anyone would easily take a liking to her.”Ithink that life is fascinating. From the moment a mother gets pregnant, she will probably worry ifher child will grow up to be healthy. Nothing else would matter more than her child's health andsafety.” Kathleen spoke in a soft voice. “Once the child is born, although there may be unexpectedsituations, it is still as how they say that every child with autism is a child of the stars. No matterwhat happens to them, as parents, we will never give up on them. No matter how hard the roadahead is, we will press on bravely.”A round of applause erupted from the audience.Kathleen gotembarrassed and said, “Please forgive me for not speaking very well. I hope that more people willpay attention to autism and learn more about it. I also hope that those in the medical industry willbe able to replace out about its causes soon and develop a treatment to save families withautism.”"Well said!"“You're absolutely right!"“This is the reason why this seminar exists."Theaudience was extremely enthusiastic. After handing the microphone over to the host, Kathleen gotoff the stage.As she sat down, she then heaved a sigh.After the seminar, someone wanted to take aphoto with Kathleen.Although Kathleen couldn“t bring herself to reject it, Samuel pulled Kathleenbeside him and said, “She doesn't have the time for that."With that, he then pulled her and walkedaway."Where are you taking me?” Kathleen asked with a frown.”A business banquet,” Samuel repliedcoldly.”But I don't drink.” Kathleen furrowed her brows slightly as she went on, “Besides, why would Igo there?"*To fill your stomach.”In any case, he just couldn't leave Kathleen there.That place was likea wolf's den.Samuel brought Kathleen to another hotel.There would be a business banquet held inthe banquet hall there that afternoon which was organized for Samuel by his businessassociates.Besides wine, of course, there would be beautiful women.All the women were gorgeousand dressed to the nines.Their main target was Samuel, and they weren't interested in any othermen.Once Kathleen entered, she immediately shook Samuel off.Samuel was surrounded by hisbusiness associates and had no time to care about Kathleen.Meanwhile, Kathleen carried a plate andwalked over to the dining area to replace some food to eat.After taking some cakes, she headed to thecorner to enjoy them.Just then, she heard two women talking beside her."Did you know thatNicolette sent me a message yesterday? She showed off about how she slept with Samuel.""Sosoon? Isn't Nicolette sick? How does she have the energy to sleep with him?"“Even if I were on theverge of death, if Samuel were willing to do it, I would've slept with him too!"“Nicolette sure is lucky.After three years, Samuel still cant seem to forget her.”“Let me tell you a secret. Don't tell anyoneelse.”"What secret?"’I heard that Samuel is actually married.”"No way."It's true. Do you know whohis wife is?"“Who is it?"“It's Kathleen, the one who walked in with Samuel just now. Besides, Kathleenwas the perfect match as Nicolette’s bone marrow donor. Samuel said that he wanted to coaxKathleen to get her to donate her bone marrow before divorcing her.”
