Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 473

Chapter 473 Because You Were Not There Kathleen guided Samuel to the restaurant. Soon, theyfound a nice and quiet place to sit. With the menu in hand, Kathleen orderedall the food thatSamuel liked while he sat next to her. There was a refreshing fragrance coming from her.

He could not help but want to get close to her because of the pleasant scent. “Kate.” Samuel inchedcloserto her.

"Did the Lester family only ask you to treat Old Mrs.

Lester?” Picking up the pitcher beside her, she poured a glass of water for Samuel.

“That's right.

What else would they ask me to do?” Samuel pursed his thin lips.

“It's weird."

Kathleen blinked in surprise.

"So you also feel the same way?” Samuel nodded in response. “To be honest, it's hard to putmyfinger on it.

The Lester family does treat me a little strangely.” She muttered, “I just don’t understand whytheytreat me that way.

Is it really merely because I'm treating Old Mrs.

Lester's condition?”

Samuel put her hand into his.

“Do you want to know what I have discovered?” Astounded, she questioned, “Did you already lookinto it?” “How could you forget? I'm great at diggingup information,” he said meaningfully. “Whatdid you replace!" Kathleen was eager to know. Releasing his grip around her hand, he sipped his water.“In any case, they aren't trying to make you marry into their family.” Kathleen was dumbfounded.She fumed, “Of course not! Furthermore, I'dnever do that.” “Oh? Why not?” Samuel gave her aknowing look. Kathleen raised a brow.

"What do you think?” “How would I know?” replied Samuel indifferently. He continued to sip hiswater, unrelenting. Kathleen smiled wordlessly.

“It's because you're the best.

I have to marry you.” Hearing her words, Samuel smiled. A short while later, their meal was served.Kathleen put some food onto Samuel's plate. He used his lefthand to hold the fork while Kathleenkept putting more food on his plate. Kathleen also passed a spoon to him. Her heart ached as shewatched him eat with difficulty. His hand, his leg, and even his body were wounded.

Anywhere that could be hurt was hurt. “Aren't you going to eat?” Samuel noticed her gaze wasfixated on him. “I am eating though?” Kathleen shiftedher gaze away. Samuel's pencil-thin lipscurved upward.

“I want to eat that, Kate.” “Which one?” Kathleen turned to look at him. Little did she expect thatSamuel would lean over and plant a kiss on her scarlet lips.

“This one.” Kathleen instantly blushed up to her ears. She stared at him, speechless.

“There are a lot of people around.” Samuel, in turn, narrowed his eyes and gazed at her.

“You're my wife.” “I'm still your fiancée, okay? We haven't even registered our marriage yet,”Kathleen corrected. I only said that to the Lester family because I don“twant them to form anymisunderstandings! “We can get registered now.” Samuel spoke in a solemn tone. Kathleen wasstumped. “As long as you are willing to.” He fixed her with a serious and unwavering stare

"Would you be willing to do it?” Kathleen gave it a long and hard thought.

“No.” Dumbstruck, the man looked defeated. “I need to think about it more.

After all, you almost married Ashley.” She suggested, “We should take things like marriage slow.” Itwas apparent that she was traumatizedby the idea of marriage and weddings. I know I can't forceher.

There are still some hurdles inside of her that she can't get over. “I understand.” Samuel nodded.Our current stateisn’t so bad too. Just as Kathleen and Samuel were minding their own businesshaving their lunch, someone snapped a photo of them and posted it on the internet. Everyonecouldn't believe what they were seeing. So after going around in circles, they still end up together?Ashley saw the news, too.

She almost threw her phone out of anger. How could he do this? How could he just change likethat? Doesn'the know the price I have to pay because of this? “Being angry doesn't help, youknow?” Lauren gave her a narrow-eyed look.

“Kathleen must be feeling proud at the moment.” Ashley roared indignantly, “I've already tried mybest.

I was so close!”

I was so close...

I could have married him and made my wish come true.

Yel

Samuel is unable to forget about Kathleen! His feelings for her must have been etched intohisbones.

That's the only explanation for him to still love her after losing his memories! Heartbroken, shecupped her face with her hands.

“Lauren, tell me.

What have I gained after going through so much pain?” Lauren stated indifferently, “Honestly, Ithink thatyou are not ruthless enough.” Ashley knitted her brows.

“I'm not ruthless enough?” “That's right! If you just killed Kathleen, then you wouldn't be havingsomany issues.” “Do you think I had never thought of that?” Ashley took a deep breath.

“I was so close to killing her back then.

If it weren't for Wynnie and the others, Kathleen would have been long dead.” Lauren remarkedcoldly, “She was a nobody back then.

Now, even if you want to get rid of her, it'll be very difficult.” Ashley decided to stay silent. “Your toppriority now should bereplaceing ways to get Luna to have faith in you again.

Also, there's still one way to ruin Samuel and Kathleen's relationship.” “What is it!” Ashley was keento know. Lauren proposed, “It's killing Samuel and Kathleen's children.

Their relationship would undoubtedly break down due to this.” Ashley was taken aback.

“If that were to happen, Samuel would never forgive me.” “How would anyone know if we do it insecret?"Lauren elaborated, “We just have to come up with a good plan.

As we both know, Kathleen and Samuel are not in the country at the moment—now is our bestchance.” Ashley was hesitant.

“But...” She did not dare to take the risk. A misstep could easily lead her to her doom. It's way toorisky. Laurencasually said, “If you don't do it, there won't be a chance anymore.

What will you do when Kathleen makes her move?” “Fine!” Ashley pressed her lips together.

“We'll just do it your way."

Delighted, Lauren said, “Good.

I'll make the preparations for you.”

Ashley nodded.

“We need to be quick.

I'm worried that Samuel and Kathleen will be back to deal with me soon.” “Leave it to me.” Back inNardor, Kathleen and Samuel were dining together. “Are you staying atthe Lester residencetonight?” the latter asked in a low voice. “Yup.” Kathleen gave a nod.

“Is there something wrong?” “I don't want to be away from you.” His voice husky, he proposed, “Youeitherstay at the hotel with me, or I stay with you at the Lester residence.” Kathleen laughed inexasperation.

"Wouldn't it be a little too much if we both stayed at the Lester residence?” “Isn't asking me to sleepat a hotel alone a little too much? Youclearly know how much I would miss you.” Kathleen lookedrather abashed.

“All right, I'll stay with you at the hotel.” “Great.” Samuel flashed a contented smile.

“Let's go then.

I want to have a good night's rest.” Hearing him say that made her notice the faintdark circles underhis eyes. “Did you not sleep for the past few days?” she questioned. “Yeah.
