chapter 5

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 not walk.She did not discriminate against Nicolette’s background and upbringing but because her actionswere undignified. “Why don’t you go back to your room to rest? I’ll call Samuel and ask him to comeback,” said Wynnie calmly. Kathleen pursed her lips and replied, “Okay.” After that, she turned toleave. Wynnie watched her leave and sighed. If only Kathleen isn’t so thoughtful. I’ll stand up for herif she cries. Wynnie took out her phone and called Samuel, “I don’t care what you’re busy with now,but I want you to get your ass home this instance!” She hung up after saying that, and Samuelfrowned. 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 saw that.“Samuel, what happened?” Nicolette bit her lips and asked, “Could it be that Kathleen didn’t want toget a divorce and told your Grandma?” “I’m not sure.” Samuel grabbed his coat and said, “I’ll beleaving for a bit.” “Are you coming home tonight?” asked Nicolette while she tugged at the cornersof his shirt. “Yeah.” Samuel nodded. Nicolette smiled and said, “I’ll wait for you. I’ll be waiting for youno 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 Samuel coldly.“You smell entirely of disinfectant. Could it be that you realized that having children is your problem,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 like you!”Samuel’s brows furrowed, saying, “I’m telling the truth.” He had tested Kathleen. After they madelove, she said she wanted to sign up for art lessons, and he asked her about having a child sinceshe felt bored. Kathleen instantly rejected the idea. Wynnie laughed coldly and said, “Were you the

one who raised the idea of having kids?” “Yeah.” Samuel nodded. “You fool. Would you have let hergo 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.” Wynnielet out a chuckle from frustration and scolded, “You can’t be my son! I need to check if I took homethe wrong child!” Samuel was at a loss for words. “I seldom interfere with the issues between youand Kathleen, so you guys can do what you want.” Wynnie coldly said, “You’re such a jerk and arenot a match for Kathleen. Plenty of talented young men in my law firm will be a good match for her!”After that, Wynnie turned to leave. Samuel frowned. He knew that Grandma liked Kathleen, but hewas surprised 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 lyingon the 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 veryoften after getting pregnant. Samuel grinned and said, “Why don’t I accompany you to sleep?” Heextended his hand and caressed her smooth and soft face. He wondered how she cared for herselfas her skin was very smooth. “No. You’ll crush…” Kathleen was in a daze, and she wanted to saythat he would crush the baby. Samuel’s face darkened, and he said, “We are not even divorced yet,but you’re already rejecting me?” She never rejected him usually, aside from the days she had her

period or if she did not feel well. He knew when Kathleen’s period was, and it was not time yet.Kathleen suddenly felt her body dip, surrounded by an intense embrace. She immediately becamewide-awake. Kathleen watched Samuel, who was hugging her, and froze. “Samuel Macari?” sheasked in shock. He was upset as she rarely called him by his full name. She usually called him Samand did not allow others to call him that, saying it was her exclusive nickname for him. Kathleenquickly sat up, hugging her blanket, and looked at him nervously. She knew Samuel loved tomisbehave, but she could not allow that as she was pregnant. Kathleen was willing to indulge himand was happy to do so, but the circumstances were different then. Samuel did not like Kathleenavoiding him and icily said, “What did you tell my mom?” Kathleen’s eyes showed how puzzled shewas, and she replied, “I didn’t say anything to Wynnie.” “How did Mom replace out that Nicolette is backif you didn’t say anything?” asked Samuel unhappily. “Samuel, Nicolette is not invisible, and manypeople in Jadeborough know her. You also let her move into Goodwill Hospital. Don’t you know howmany wealthy people in Jadeborough go there to see the doctors? Won’t they gossip if they sawNicolette? It’s normal that news may travel into Wynnie’s ears!” Kathleen was usually gentle, andshe never got angry at Samuel. She kept trying to be a good wife, but she finally understood thatSamuel would not like her no matter how good she was. He even wanted her to save her love rival.Samuel saw her defensive manner and frowned, saying, “I’m just asking.” “Aren’t you suspectingme? You felt that I complained to Grandma and Wynnie because I don’t want to get a divorce.”Kathleen felt wronged. She was not someone like that. Ever since she married Samuel, sheremained silent about the injustice she faced. However, she was hurt that Samuel wouldmisunderstand her that way. Does he not have the slightest trust in me even if he doesn’t love me?What am I to him?
