Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 75

Based on Kathleen's understanding of Samuel's personality, she thought he would lose

it. Unexpectedly, Samuel merely looked at her coldly as his rough fingers cupped her facedomineeringly. Immediately after that, he kissed her deeply Kathleen wanted to avoid histouch.However, Samuel stopped her with his other hand and pressed her back into his embrace. Hedidn't like how Kathleen rejected him and refused his touch.Although Samuel was upset at heractions, he couldn't order Kathleen to accept him.That didn’t matter to him because he had decidedto spend the rest of his life with her even if she treated him coldly and pushed him away.He woulddo anything to make her forgive him.Samuel kissed Kathleen for about five minutespassionately.Because of that, Kathleen's legs went soft.Satisfied, Samuel carried her with one handand placed her on his leg.When it came to strength, Kathleen could only accept her fate.As Samuelwas strong and Kathleen was weak, there was nothing she could do about the situation.She couldonly sit on Samuel's leg and let him dry her hair all he wanted Kathleen's hair was like herpersonality, both soft and smooth.In fact, she had always been a cute and obedient girl.Samuel’swarm chest leaned toward Kathleen. He placed his lips by her ear and said, “I know you are stillangry at me, and you can't forgive me now. But that's okay. I've already decided to attach myself toyou for life. Hence, no matter what happens in the future, I will not let go of you."Kathleen feltbitter. Why wasn't he like this in the past? Why is he so nice to me after my heart stopped beatingfor him?She remained silent. The quiet Kathleen looked like a beautiful doll.“After your bodyrecovers a few days later, we will hold a wedding.” Samuel let out a deep sigh. “Kate, I will slowlymake up for everything I've owed you."Hold a wedding?Kathleen stared at him in disbelief.Samuelcurled his lips. “When the time comes, we will choose the wedding dress together."After Kathleenheard his words, her head hurt. That was because she didn't want a wedding.”Your hair is dry.”Samuel put down the hair dryer and carried Kathleen. Soon after, he placed her on the bed andcovered her with a blanket.While he was doing that, Kathleen fixed her gaze on him. “Samuel, I'mtired.”“If you are exhausted, you should sleep,” said Samuel straightforwardly.”"What I mean is I'mmentally tired.” Kathleen didn’t want to trigger him. “Can we not hold a wedding? I don't have theenergy and the mood for this.”She had just lost two unborn children.lt was not true that she was notupset. She just didn’t want to show her emotions.Samuel got closer to her. With a low and hoarsevoice, he said, “But I want to."At his answer, Kathleen frowned. “This is not what you used tosay.”"Just like what you've said, that was before.” Samuel pinched Kathleen's soft cheeks. “Don'tworry. You won't feel tired. You merely need to dress up and attend the wedding as my beautifulwife.”"Can you show some respect for my opinion?” asked Kathleen helplessly.“All right.” Samuellooked at her dotingly. “If you have any special requests, you can tell me. I'll grant all yourwishes.”Kathleen pursed her lips.In reality, that wasn't what she really meant.She was sure Samuelknew the meaning behind her words.However, he chose to ignore her.lt didn't cause any impacteven if she did express her point of view.As expected, nothing had changed.Samuel's character wasstill the same. He was still in control of the relationship.That left Kathleen having a headache.A fewdays later, Kathleen was finally allowed to discharge from the hospital.She went to the ward nextdoor and bid goodbye to Gemma.The latter still needed to rest and recuperate in bed for sometime.Samuel hired two caregivers to look after Gemma.He would bear all the expenses.”Are yougoing to be discharged?” Gemma lay on her bed.Kathleen was in her own clothes.Previously, shewore hospital gowns.Kathleen nodded. “That's right. The doctor says I can be discharged from thehospital.”“Great.” Gemma smiled and said, “Congratulations on being able to leave the hospital. Imight be able to discharge after some time.”Kathleen sat down. “Gemma, I'm sorry. It's all myfault.”“Oh, stop apologizing. My ears are numb from hearing that.” Gemma slowly continued, “I willsave anyone in that situation. Hence, you don't have to feel bad about it."Kathleen pursed her lipsand expressed her gratitude, “Thank you.”"You silly girl.” Gemma pinched Kathleen's face. “Haha.Your cheek is so soft. No wonder everybody likes pinching it."Kathleen was speechless."Don't paythe situation any mind. It's all water under the bridge now.” Gemma pulled her lips into a thin line asshe asked solemnly, “Have you and Samuel reconciled?”“I've rejected him.” Kathleen shook herhead.”And after that?” questioned Gemma.”He disagrees. Besides that, he wants to hold a belatedwedding ceremony with me.” Kathleen's expression became dark as she continued, “He doesn't careabout my thoughts.”"Samuel has been a blessed one since birth. He has everything. An individuallike this is arrogant and self-centered. Thus, it is hard for him to learn how to respect you.” Gemmapointed out the reality straightforwardly.Hearing that, Kathleen bit her lip. “That's because I'm tooweak.""Ordinary women can't possibly stand his attitude.” Gemma sighed as she continued, "He isSamuel Macari, and he is no ordinary man. If you two want to continue living together in peace, oneof you has to give in."Kathleen remained silent because she thought Gemma had a point.BetweenSamuel and I, I'm the one who always compromises, and Samuel is the person who doesn’t botherabout anything.That was all due to Samuel's personality.As they were talking, the door of the wardwas pushed open.Samuel walked into the room.He wore a black coat. Under it was his three-piecesuit. His vest was gray, and it matched the other garments fashionably. One could see that the outfitwas immaculately put together.Iit made him look cold and charming."Gemma, I've got to go.”Kathleen stood up. “If anything comes up, you can always call me. Let's keep in touch.”"All right.”Gemma nodded.Samuel draped the white coat in his hand on Kathleen's shoulder. After wrappinghis hand around her, they headed toward the door.Staring at them, Gemma heaved a sigh.Kathleenis indeed on the passive side whenever Samuel is around. Moreover, Samuel doesn't seem to realizethe graveness of the matter. He can't win her heart back if he continues to treat her this way.Samuelheld on to Kathleen as they took the elevator downstairs.The wind was cold that winter.Hence,Samuel held Kathleen in his embrace tightly.After Tyson drove the car over, Samuel carried Kathleeninto the car.In the car, Samuel ordered Tyson to increase the car's temperature.Meanwhile,Kathleen's tiny, pale, and exquisite face was expressionless.She looked like the lifeless bare treesoutside.As for Samuel, he continued wrapping his arms around her, unwilling to let go." Drive,”Samuel said in a cold tone.Tyson nodded and started the car engine.At that, they left the hospital.itwas warm in the car. Kathleen started to feel sleepy.Noticing that, Samuel stared at Kathleen's fairface as he curled up his lips. “You can sleep for a while. We will arrive at our destinationsoon."Kathleen shook her head.I'll be doomed if I continue sleeping. With that thought, she lookedout the window.Shortly after, Kathleen knitted her brows and questioned, “Are we going to theMacari residence?"This isn't the way back to the condominium.At her question, Samuel smiledmysteriously. “You'll know where we are heading in a while."Kathleen was puzzled.Soon, the pathbecame different from what she remembered.It doesn't look like we are going to the Macariresidence either.The car drove on the path for a while. Moments later, it started climbing the slope.Itthen stopped in front of a large gate decorated with magnificent engraving.The gate slowlyopened.Tyson drove the car into the place.After entering the venue, a bamboo forest appeared infront of them.As they continued their journey, they could see a vast lawn.They passed through thelawn and saw a spacious courtyard.At last, they arrived at a baroque-style mansion.Kathleen blinkedher eyes and asked, “Where are we?”
