Chapter 5 What Am I To You

Kathleen did not respond, but Wynnie was well aware because she knew her son very well. Wynniedid not understand which part of Nicolette was attractive after seeing that the latter could notwalk.She did not discriminate against Nicolette's background and upbringing but because heractions were undignified."Why don’t you go back to your room to rest? I'll call Samuel and ask himto come back,” said Wynnie calmly.Kathleen pursed her lips and replied, “Okay."After that, sheturned to leave. Wynnie watched her leave and sighed.If only Kathleen isn't so thoughtful. I'll standup for her if she cries.Wynnie took out her phone and called Samuel, “I don't care what you're busywith now, but I want you to get your ass home this instance!"She hung up after saying that, andSamuel frowned. Wynnie was evidently angry, judging from her tone.Could it be that Kathleen toldGrandma?Samuel became upset, and his eyes darkened.Nicolette was afraid when she sawthat.”Samuel, what happened?” Nicolette bit her lips and asked, “Could it be that Kathleen didn'twant to get a divorce and told your Grandma?"“I'm not sure.” Samuel grabbed his coat and said, “I'llbe leaving for a bit."“Are you coming home tonight?” asked Nicolette while she tugged at thecorners of his shirt."Yeah.” Samuel nodded.Nicolette smiled and said, “I'll wait for you. I'll be waitingfor you no matter how late it is."She would definitely not let go of him again.Samuel looked at hermeaningfully and left.Nicolette’s eyes turned cold right afterward.Samuel returned to the Macariresidence, and Wynnie blocked him at the entrance.”Mom, what happened?” asked Samuelcoldly."You smell entirely of disinfectant. Could it be that you realized that having children is yourproblem, so you went to the hospital for a checkup?” asked Wynnie icily.Samuel frowned and said,“Mom, what are you saying? I'm perfectly healthy.”"Very well. Why don't you want children?” askedWynnie unhappily.”Kathleen was the one who didn't want kids,” replied Samuel calmly.“Nonsense.”Wynnie scolded, “Samuel, how could you push the responsibility for this to a girl? This is akin toresenting your wife for not being able to have children. How did I give birth to a son likeyou!"Samuel’s brows furrowed, saying, “I'm telling the truth."He had tested Kathleen.After theymade love, she said she wanted to sign up for art lessons, and he asked her about having a childsince she felt bored Kathleen instantly rejected the idea.Wynnie laughed coldly and said, “Were youthe one who raised the idea of having kids?"“Yeah.” Samuel nodded."You fool. Would you have lether go if she didn’t say that?” Wynnie angrily continued, “You probably told her she's thinking aboutsomething she shouldn't. Moreover, what are you going to do if Nicolette returns after the both ofyou have a child?"Samuel replied, “If Kathleen doesn’t want a child, she can give birth to the childand let Nicolette and I care for the baby. She's still young, and she can replace another man."Wynnie letout a chuckle from frustration and scolded, “You can't be my son! I need to check if I took home thewrong child!"Samuel was at a loss for words.”l seldom interfere with the issues between you andKathleen, so you guys can do what you want.” Wynnie coldly said, “You're such a jerk and are not amatch for Kathleen. Plenty of talented young men in my law firm will be a good match for her!" Afterthat, Wynnie turned to leave.Samuel frowned.He knew that Grandma liked Kathleen, but he wassurprised that Wynnie liked her as well. What kind of mother-in-law will look out for men for herdaughter-in-law?Samuel’s heart clenched, and he was uncomfortable at the thought of his wife whowas as cute as a rabbit in the arms of another man.He went up the stairs, and Kathleen was lying onthe bed, hugging her blanket, sound asleep.They might have unpleasantly parted ways, butSamuel's anger toward her was usually short-lived and dissipated as quickly as it came.This sweetpeach is too delectable and I can't stop myself from having a few bites.Kathleen had an odd habitwhen she slept. She did not like to wear too much as she felt it was constrictive.That was why sheimmediately changed into a pearl-white sheer nightgown when she went upstairs.At that moment,she was hugging her blanket, and her fair and slender hand and legs were exposed, appearingalluring."Kathleen,” whispered Samuel as he supported himself on both sides of her body.Kathleenwas sleepy and tired. She did not even open her eyes when she heard someone calling her. Instead,she just said in a soft and raspy voice, “Be quiet. I'm sleepy.”She became drowsy very often aftergetting pregnant.Samuel grinned and said, “Why don't I accompany you to sleep?” He extended hishand and caressed her smooth and soft face.He wondered how she cared for herself as her skin wasvery smooth.”No. You'll crush...” Kathleen was in a daze, and she wanted to say that he would crushthe baby.Samuel's face darkened, and he said, “We are not even divorced yet, but you're alreadyrejecting me?”She never rejected him usually, aside from the days she had her period or if she didnot feel well.He knew when Kathleen's period was, and it was not time yet.Kathleen suddenly felther body dip, surrounded by an intense embrace.She immediately became wide-awake.Kathleenwatched Samuel, who was hugging her, and froze. “Samuel Macari?” she asked in shock.He wasupset as she rarely called him by his full name.She usually called him Sam and did not allow othersto call him that, saying it was her exclusive nickname for him.Kathleen quickly sat up, hugging herblanket, and looked at him nervously.She knew Samuel loved to misbehave, but she could not allowthat as she was pregnant.Kathleen was willing to indulge him and was happy to do so, but thecircumstances were different then.Samuel did not like Kathleen avoiding him and icily said, “Whatdid you tell my mom?“Kathleen’s eyes showed how puzzled she was, and she replied, “I didn't sayanything to Wynnie.""How did Mom replace out that Nicolette is back if you didn’t say anything?”asked Samuel unhappily.”Samuel, Nicolette is not invisible, and many people in Jadeborough knowher. You also let her move into Goodwill Hospital. Don't you know how many wealthy people inJadeborough go there to see the doctors? Won't they gossip if they saw Nicolette? It's normal thatnews may travel into Wynnie's ears!” Kathleen was usually gentle, and she never got angry atSamuel.She kept trying to be a good wife, but she finally understood that Samuel would not like herno matter how good she was.He even wanted her to save her love rival.Samuel saw her defensivemanner and frowned, saying, “I'm just asking.”“Aren’t you suspecting me? You felt that I complainedto Grandma and Wynnie because I don't want to get a divorce.” Kathleen felt wronged.She was notsomeone like that. Ever since she married Samuel, she remained silent about the injustice she

faced. However, she was hurt that Samuel would misunderstand her that way.Does he not have theslightest trust in me even if he doesn't love me? What am I to him?
