Chapter 476

Chapter 476 Taking It Too Far Swallowing hard, Samuel insisted, “I'm fine.” Kathleen sighed withrelief. She let go of him and lay beside him with both hands on her stomach. “I seriously don't knowwhat to say sometimes, Samuel,” she started. “It seems like things are the same for you, whether ornot I am beside you.” “No, it's different!” He clasped her hand and added with some difficulty,“When you're by my side, I feel more at ease compared to the times when you're not around.”However, he couldn't relax completely either. He was terrified. Kathleen glanced at him and asked,"You won't do that terrible thing to me again, so why are you still so worried?” A glum lookappeared in Samuel's eyes. “I'm just worried.” The fear was planted deep inside his heart. Letting outanother sigh, Kathleen turned on her side and hugged him. “Samuel, you're going to ruin yourhealth if you keep this up.” He's so paranoid because of his fear, and his body is in a terrible state.Despite that, he still came to Nardor to look for me. What is he thinking?

Samuel hugged her back. He hadn't been so close to her in a long time, and he missed her a lot. Herfaint fragrance blended with the air he was breathing in, calming him down. “Kate, as long as you'rehere, I'll be fine.” Unable to hold himself back, he kissed her cheek. Kathleen did not stop himSeeing that, he tightened his embrace and took things further. A while later, a series of knockssounded from the door. The two hurriedly paused in their tracks. Embarrassment flashed acrossKathleen's face. When she came back to her senses, their clothes were already in a mess. Moreover,one of Samuel's hands was in her clothes. He's taking it too far! “Take it out,” she whisperedFortunately, Samuel listened to her. She then got out of bed and walked to the door before openingit. Camille stood outside with a smile. “Kate, dinner’s ready. Come downstairs with Mr. Macari andhave some.” “Okay.” Upon seeing Kathleen's flushed face, Camille understood what was going on.“I'll wait for you downstairs.” “Okay.” Kathleen nodded shyly. After Camille left, Kathleen closed thedoor and turned around, shooting Samuel a glare. “It's all because of you!” Samuel was renderedspeechless. She's the one who blushes easily because she's sensitive! “I'll wash my face first. Let's godownstairs for dinner afterward,” Kathleen told him, and he gave a nod in return. With that, sheentered the bathroom. Meanwhile, Samuel sat up from the bed with a smirk. He took out his phoneand texted Tyson: Have you found anything on the matter I asked you to look into? Tyson replied inan instant: I've found some clues.

The Ashley we met is indeed fake. I've asked someone to track down her parents, and they are bothin Pollerton right now. I believe the real Ashley is there, too. Samuel typed: Find out her exactaddress. Tyson responded: Got it. He got to work right after sending that message. Just then,Kathleen came out of the bathroom. The redness on her cheeks was nowhere to be seen now thatshe had washed her face. Samuel then got out of bed and straightened out his top and tie. Seeinghow he was struggling with his right hand, Kathleen felt her heart ache. She walked over to him andstarted adjusting his tie for him. “Let me do these things for you from now on.” Samuel put downhis hands and watched her quietly. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice."Okay." Kathleen raised her head and looked at him with twinkling eyes. “I'm being serious.” “Okay,”he said again with a nod. “Let's go.” As she took his big hand with her small and soft one, he feltwarm and comfortable. At the same time, he couldn't help but curl his lips up. Hand in hand, thetwo of them went downstairs. The entire Lester family was present, including Yvonne's husband andher two children. “Kate, sit here.” Yvonne gestured at the two seats beside her. Kathleen supportedSamuel as they walked over and sat down. “Let me do the introductions. This is my husband, FrancisStone. This is my son, lan, and my daughter, Keisha,” said Yvonne cheerfully. “Hello, Ms. Johnson,”Francis greeted. “Hello.”

Kathleen smiled politely. Deep inside, she felt relieved. Finally, a normal person. lan grinned andremarked, “I'm older than you.” Hearing that, Kathleen smiled shyly. “And I'm younger than you,”Keisha chimed in happily. She resembled Yvonne a little, and there was always a sweet smile on herface. “This is my husband, Samuel,” Kathleen introduced. Francis nodded in acknowledgment. “Longtime no see, Mr. Macari.” “Yeah,” Samuel answered coldly. “You know each other?” Yvonne asked outof surprise. “We've collaborated a few times before,” Francis mentioned as he took a sip of waterfrom his glass. However, he didn't expect his connection to Samuel to progress into something else.Judging from Kathleen's expression, it looked like she knew nothing yet. On the other hand, Samuelseemed to be aware. Hasn't he told Kathleen? Francis couldn't help but wonder. “Hello, brother-in-law.” Keisha took the initiative to talk to Samuel. Immediately, she felt a kick from lan under thetable. He shot her a look as if saying, Seriously? You're about to expose it! In response, she flashedhim a smile awkwardly. “Let's eat.” Following Anthony's words, everyone picked up their forks andbegan eating. During dinner, Kathleen tried her best to take care of Samuel. After the meal, Francisinvited Samuel to get some fresh air outside. Without much thought, the latter agreed. While theywere strolling in the garden, Francis spoke first. “I never expected my business partner to be thehusband of my wife's niece.” His tone was calm and composed. “I didn't expect that, too.” “Youdidn't tell Kathleen the truth?” Francis asked curiously. “No. If I tell her now, it might affect herdiagnosis of Old Mrs. Lester's condition.

I've asked her, and she agreed to hear it from me after Old Mrs. Lester's surgery,” Samuel explained.“She's a patient woman. But I guess this is something she could easily guess.” “Letting her guess andtelling her the truth are two different things.” Samuel turned to Francis and looked at him intently,adding, “Were you able to do what I asked of you?” “I found it.” Narrowing his eyes, Francis asked,“Should I send the address to you?” Samuel nodded. “What are you going to tell her when youmeet, though?” As Francis spoke, he took out his phone and sent the address to Samuel. “What ifshe asks you to repay her by marrying her?” Samuel's expression was frosty. “Only Kate can be mywife. As for Ashley, it is true that I owe her. I will meet her on my own and make sure to repay her.”Francis advised, “Do as you see fit. The Lester family spent a lot of time looking for Kathleen andCharles. If something happens to you now, things might—" “I know what to do,” Samuel claimed."Allow me to take my leave now.” He started walking away when Francis suddenly saidmeaningfully, “Do you recall it now?” Freezing in his tracks, Samuel turned around and glanced atFrancis before spinning on his heels again. Indeed, he had recalled something from his past.However, he didn't want others to know, especially Kathleen. Those memories were quiteunpleasant. Since Kathleen also forgot about them, he should just play dumb about it. After all, hewas determined to make it up to her for the rest of his life. He would never let her suffer again.
