Chapter 474 Settle The Score At the hotel, Samuel fell asleep right after he lay down. Kathleen knewthat he must be exhausted. Ever since she heartlessly left the airport that day, he hadn't had a goodsleep. After he regained consciousness, he immediately rushed to Nardor. Kathleen, on the otherhand, was very clear-headed. She sent a message to Levi that read: I won't be back tonight. Levireplied: Are you with Samuel? Kathleen: Yes. Levi: Old Mrs. Lester told me right away after theyreturned. I didn’t expect you to forgive him so soon. Kathleen: I think I've given him enoughpunishment. Levi: That's good to hear. I'll inform the Lester family on your behalf, then. Kathleen: Allright. Thanks. After sending that text, Kathleen put down her phone. Samuel wrapped his armsaround her slim waist at that moment and asked in a husky voice, “You're still awake?” “Yeah. Goback to sleep.” “No. Since you're awake, I'll keep you company,” he said lazily.

Without uttering a word, Kathleen stared at him with a faint smile. Samuel had very good-lookingfeatures. He had prominent brow ridges, deep-set eyes, a sharp nose, and perfectly-shaped lips.Aside from the fact that he was a bit pale, he always looked gorgeous. Reaching out, Kathleentouched his brows and nose and smiled. The next moment, Samuel held her hand and flipped over,pinning her under him. Kathleen was caught off guard. “What are you doing?” she asked nervously.When Samuel saw the resistance in her eyes, he swallowed hard. “I want to kiss you.” Then, heleaned down and captured her cherry-red lips. There was a growing desire within him. He likedKathleen too much, even when he had lost his memories. It was an indescribable feeling. WhenAshley first mentioned that he had a wife, he knew right away that that woman must be veryimportant to him. After all, it was unusual for someone so aloof as him to fall for someone. Themoment he saw Kathleen afterward, the desire of having her to himself intensified.

However, he was apprehensive to do so, for fear that she would hate him. Tortured by thesethoughts, he even considered bringing Kathleen to a place no one else knew about. A few minuteslater, he finally let go of her. Kathleen could feel that her lips were swollen. There were even tears inthe corner of her eyes, making her look pitiful. “Kate, I like you,” murmured Samuel as he kissed hereyes. Instantly, Kathleen's ears flushed red. She circled his neck with her arms and answered, “Yes, Iknow.” Afraid that she would be repulsed, Samuel didn't dare to do anything more. Instead, heembraced her tightly. That was more than enough for him. Soon, he fell asleep again. The two ofthem woke up later that night from hunger. Samuel then ordered some takeout food, which wasdelivered to them quickly. Knowing that they were awake, Tyson sent over a document. Afterscanning through it, Samuel glanced at Kathleen. “What's wrong?” she asked curiously. “I told you Iwouldn't lie to you, but I think it's better for you to see this document after you're done with OldMrs. Lester's surgery,” he said as he stared at the document in his hands. Kathleen blinked a fewtimes before asking, “So you think that the Lester family has no ill intentions toward me and thatOld Mrs.

Lester should be saved, but my diagnosis of her condition will be affected if I see this document? Isthat right?” Samuel nodded. “Okay. I won't look at it now.” Kathleen agreed right away since shetrusted him. Putting down the document, Samuel hummed in acknowledgment. “Since I'm freethese days, I'll treat your legs,” she offered as she munched on food. “Okay.” “Are you going to stayin Nardor? How about your company?” “Well, my father can manage it. He has nothing to doanyway,” Samuel said indifferently, rendering Kathleen speechless. How could he treat his elderlyfather like this? At the Lester residence, Betty was visibly disgruntled. Yvonne couldn't help but feelamused. "What's wrong, Mom? Why do you look so unhappy?” “I feel like I've been robbed,”grumbled Betty. Yvonne burst into laughter at her words. “Didn't you feel the same when I gotmarried back then?” “I didn’t.” Upon recalling the past, Betty admitted, “At that time, I thought thatyou should get married and leave the family as soon as possible. I just couldn't handle youanymore.” When Yvonne was still with the family, she was a troublemaker. As her father and twoelder brothers spoiled her very much, she basically did whatever she wanted. Thus, it was a goodidea to let her get married and have someone else control her. Nevertheless, Betty was quitesatisfied with her son-in-law. “Mom, you're worried that Samuel would bully Kate again, aren't you?I actually think we can’t be sure who the real bully is.” Betty frowned upon hearing that. “What doyou mean?” “Didn't you notice earlier? Between the two of them, Kate is the one in control. It'sobvious that Samuel only feels happy when Kate is happy. She's the one who has the say,” Yvonnepointed out. After giving it a thought, Betty still felt a little upset. “I was just thinking that Kate couldstay with me longer, but Samuel suddenly appeared and took her away. How annoying!” “Theyprobably don't want to stay here because they don't want to disturb us,” Yvonne voiced out."Should I ask them to move here tomorrow?” “Yes.” Betty nodded. Yvonne smiled knowingly. “Got it,Mom. Do you perhaps feel like Kate is acting like an outsider, so you think she should bring Samuelhere?” Betty stayed silent. “All right, I understand. I'll visit her tomorrow.” Closing her eyes, Bettyurged, “Hurry up and leave now. I'm going to sleep.” Yvonne was stumped for words. That was aquick change of attitude. When Kathleen woke up the next day, the first thing she did was to checkon Samuel. “How do your legs feel?” The night before, she had performed acupuncture on him.Samuel moved his legs a few times before answering, “They feel much better than yesterday.” “Ofcourse.

I'm much better than Lauren,” boasted Kathleen. She then added, “I bet you're the only one whowould let her treat your legs.” Seeing her petty behavior, Samuel chuckled. “It's not that I trust her.However, she seems to have a very special relationship with Ashley.” “Don’t you sense somethingstrange about Ashley?” Kathleen asked as she put her long hair up into a bun. Samuel explained,“I've looked into it and found that Ashley was saved after she was sent to that hospital. However,she was hidden by the Zeller family since then.” “Yeah. Also, didn’t you notice that Ashley's fatherdidn't even show up when she got married? Only Luna and Trevor came,” Kathleen reminded. With afrown, Samuel asked, “Are you implying that she’s not the real Ashley?” “Who knows? She might bean old friend,” remarked Kathleen with a cold smile. “If it really is her, we'll settle all the scores withher.”
