Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 52

Kathleen didn't want to be the one who ruined Samuel's relationship with his family.She thought itwould be better for everyone if she left.“Okay. You can go home and get some rest since there isnothing else to do here.” Cynthia took out the apple cider vinegar that Kathleen liked to drink andput it into a bag.Then, she packed some snacks for Kathleen too.Kathleen liked to eat fruit-flavoredsnacks. Hence, Cynthia always prepared them for her.Kathleen smiled sweetly like a kid as she heldthe snacks that were given by Cynthia."Granny, I'll come again next time,” Kathleen saidadorably.Cynthia smiled as she said, “You can come every day. I will always welcome you.”“Granny,I'll come as long as you don’t mind it.” Kathleen was shy."Why would 1?” Cynthia patted her headand said, “Take good care of yourself, my girl."Kathleen nodded. “Okay. Goodbye, Granny.” Despiteher reluctance, she bade farewell to Cynthia."Goodbye,” Cynthia said.With that, Kathleen andSamuel turned around and headed toward the elevator.Samuel helped Kathleen to hold the bagwhile she stood next to him.The elevator stopped after going down two floors. After that, severalpeople got into the elevator.Samuel put the things in one hand and used the other hand to hugKathleen lest she got hit by others.Pressed into his embrace, all she could hear was the sound of hispowerful heartbeat. She felt as if she was drowning in his warm embrace.Soon, Kathleen felt thestrange gaze from the people next to them. They had been scrutinizing Samuel and her.There weretwo young girls who were holding their phones while pointing at and gossiping about Samuel andher. Kathleen frowned upon seeing it.The girls put down their hands hurriedly and looked away outof guilt as soon as they noticed Kathleen was staring at them Kathleen was speechless upon seeingtheir action.Shortly after that, they stepped out of the elevator after it arrived on the groundfloor.Samuel then pulled Kathleen into the car.After they got into the car, Kathleen asked, “Are yougoing back to the office?""Yes.” Samuel nodded."Then you can leave me halfway. I will go back tothe condominium to get some clothes before heading to the Macari residence,” Kathleensaid.Samuel looked at her coldly.Kathleen thought he was unwilling to go there. “It's almost theNew Year. Haven't we always done that? We would always go to the Macari residence and stay therewhen the year-end is approaching.”Samuel didn't utter a word.”It's okay if you don't want to gothere so early. I'm not going to pack my things then,” Kathleen said softly.”Let's talk about it a fewdays later.” Samuel furrowed his eyebrows lightly.Samuel didn’t want Christopher to have a chanceto meet Kathleen as the former had been going to the Macari residence too frequently recently. Orrather, from the bottom of his heart, he didn’t want Kathleen to discover the truth.”Okay.” Kathleennodded in response.Samuel glanced at Kathleen and asked indifferently, “Do you really like to stayat the Macari residence?""Yeah.” Kathleen nodded.”"Why?" Samuel asked in confusion.”It's livelythere.” Kathleen's gentle voice sounded indifferent. The condominium where she and Samuel livedtogether was a huge one. Its size was one thousand square meters.Although the home was spaciousand well-equipped with everything, she felt lonely when she was there.Samuel was barely home, soshe was always alone and bored.He didn't like being disturbed too. Hence, he did not hire a live-inhousekeeper who would live with them in their house every day. Instead, the housekeeper wouldonly come occasionally to cook and clean the house.The pay that Samuel offered was good withouta doubt. Therefore, there were quite a lot of people who competed for the job.Samuel's slenderhands were holding the steering wheel as he spoke with a clear voice. “After we have more babies,our home will be lively.”Kathleen pursed her red lips and kept quiet.Does he want me to look afterthe kids alone? How should I explain to them if their father is always absent during festivals? If we'redivorced, I can still tell them their father has passed away as an excuse. However, if we're stillmarried, how should I explain it?At the thought of that, Kathleen wanted a divorce even more.”Let'sdiscuss the future plans later.” Kathleen's soft voice was cold. “Samuel, there are twenty-seven daysbefore the New Year. You still have some time to think about it."Samuel's jaw tightened. “Are yousure that you wouldn't object at all after I have made up my mind?"“You have always been callingthe shots in our relationship. So, it's up to you. I don't want to think about it anymore as I'm tootired,” Kathleen said while pinching the bridge of her nose.She was exhausted."Okay. Let me thinkabout it.” Samuel sent Kathleen to the lobby of the condominium.When Kathleen was about to getout of the car, Samuel locked the car door and stopped her from leaving Kathleen frowned. As sheturned around, she saw Samuel.To her surprise, Samuel's handsome face was close to hers.Then, hissoft and warm lips pressed against her lips and they shared a passionate kiss in the car.Five minuteslater, the corner of Kathleen's eyes was slightly wet as she glared at him angrily.”Your legs are weakafter the kiss, right?” Samuel placed his large hand against Kathleen's soft cheek and rubbed itgently.Her shy and alluring reaction was adorable. I don't want other men to see her like that. Idon't!The desire to possess her burned in his heart.”l will come back early tonight.” Samuel gentlykissed Kathleen's face.Her face was soft like a pillow.Kathleen's ears turned red. “You can comehome whenever you want. But it would be better if you don’t come back. I'll be happier bymyself."Samuel grinned and gazed at her intently as if he wanted to eat her alive.His burning gazegave her chills all over her body.She pushed Samuel away and got out of the car.Then, she took thethings from the rear seat.Samuel chuckled.She was obviously bothered by my gaze. Yet, she didn'tforget to take the snacks with her. Such a little glutton.Samuel thought for a while before textingTyson: When Kathleen took medicine previously, I recall that you had brought her fruit candy madein Remdik, and she said she liked it, right?Tyson replied instantly: Yes.Samuel continued: Find out themanufacturer and acquire it. Help them to develop several types of low-sugar fruit candy products.From now on, deliver the candies to the condominium every month.Tyson agreed immediately: Allright.Samuel put his phone down, and his lips curved into a smile. Kathleen is candy; she is sosweet.Meanwhile, Kathleen got home and put her things on the coffee table.She then sat down andcalmed herself down for some time before taking out her phone.She hadn't checked her phonesince just now, but she didn’t expect the chat group with Wynnie would have more than ninety-ninemessages by then.Why are there so many messages?Wynnie texted: Katie, you're trending.Dianareplied: What about?Wynnie took a screenshot and sent it over to the chat group.The title of thenumber one trending topic read: Kathleen and Samuel Are Married.Kathleen’s face turned pale. DidI really send it by mistake? But I've already asked Samuel to check it.Kathleen opened her Twitteraccount and noticed the news was still on the top of the trending topics. She dared not read thecomments below.She then clicked on the chat group and continued reading the messages.Wynnie: Ithink that Katie is being threatened by Samuel.Diana: That sc*mbag! He is going to divorce Katie,yet he dares to ruin Katie's image.Wynnie agreed: Mom, you're right. He is such a sc*mbag! In thefuture, the whole world would know that Katie was once married.Diana: I think he has badintentions. It might be Nicolette’s idea.Wynnie: Mom, do you want me to pull some strings and kickNicolette out of the hospital?Diana replied: We have to be cultured people. Why don’t we acquirethe hospital and shut it down?
