chapter 6

Samuel didn’t deny it. Kathleen was both furious and frustrated. However, because of herappearance, she didn’t look intimidating at all even though she was angry. “Samuel, you’d betterlisten up,” she said as she looked at him seriously. Her red cheeks were obvious on her fair skin,the straps of her shirt were loose, and her slender legs were exposed. It was a beautiful scene.Samuel narrowed his eyes at her as his gaze darkened. “What did you just call me?” “Samuel.”Kathleen was angry, and she felt that she was intimidating enough. Nonetheless, it wasn’t the casein Samuel’s eyes. To him, she was the same as an angry white kitten with fur erect. “I’m not thatkind of person who goes back on my promise! I’m fine that you wish to get a divorce. I just didn’twant to trigger Grandma since she’s not feeling well. So of course I wouldn’t tell on her because ofthat!” Kathleen said angrily, her eyes red. How could he doubt me like this? When Samuel saw thatshe was really mad, he said in a gentler tone, “I’ve misunderstood you.” Kathleen snorted. Samuelpinched her cheeks. “I’ll help you deshell the crabs later.” The moment Kathleen heard “crabs,” shefelt like throwing up. Despite that, she had to hold it in when Samuel was in front of her. “I went tothe hospital for a checkup today,” she said in a small voice. Samuel asked indifferently, “Didn’t yousay that you’re not pregnant?” “Yeah, I’m not. But the doctor said that I have a weak stomach andtold me not to eat anything cold.” So that’s the reason. Samuel stared at her. “You’re really fragile.”Kathleen bit her lip. “You’re the one who pampered me so much that I’ve become used to it now. Ifyou continue to mock me, I won’t divorce you since it’s not easy to replace anyone who will treat me likeyou do.” She regretted it the moment she finished speaking because she knew that Samuel woulddefinitely get mad. But to her surprise, he didn’t. He merely said, “Even if we’re not togetheranymore, I’ve told you that you’ll get everything that you deserve. After we’re divorced, you cancarry on your life as usual and just act like how you used to be. No one’s going to bully you.”Kathleen fixed her gaze on him. Hello, Mr. Liar? You’re bullying me right now! “Samuel, is Kate upyet? Dinner’s ready.” Wynnie’s voice rang from outside the door. “Okay! We’re coming!” Samuelreplied. “Hurry up. Christopher’s here too,” Wynnie urged. “Got it!” Only then did Wynnie turn andmake her way downstairs. “Wake up.” Samuel looked at Kathleen coldly. Kathleen asked in

surprise, “Why is Christopher here?” Christopher Morris was Samuel’s older cousin. His mother wasWynnie’s elder sister, Emily Staines. Although they were sisters, their personalities were thecomplete opposite. Emily was gentler. “Why are you asking me so many questions?” Samuel askedcoldly. Kathleen was frustrated. Samuel’s temper was truly something else. One moment, she feltas though she was in heaven, but the next moment, she felt as though she was in hell. “Wearsomething less revealing. We’ve got an outsider tonight,” Samuel reminded. “An outsider?”Kathleen was confused. Samuel narrowed his eyes. “Christopher.” He hated the way Christopherlooked at Kathleen the most. The way Christopher looked at her wasn’t that of a pervert, but it wasa look of yearning for something that one couldn’t have. Even so, Christopher was Samuel’s oldercousin, and the two of them were so close that they were inseparable since they were little, soSamuel couldn’t say anything to Christopher. Kathleen only thought that Samuel was in a bad moodbecause of Nicolette’s illness. She didn’t even want to argue with him at all. After she got out of bed,she took a pink V-neck sweater and a pair of white wide-legged pants from the closet before puttingthem on. Her collarbone was exquisite, and she had beautiful, fair skin. She looked like a charmingand enchanting minx from all angles. She tied her hair up into a ponytail, exposing her slender andfair neck. When her fair neck and exquisite-looking collarbone were exposed at the same time, shelooked indescribably charming. Samuel didn’t like that. He walked over to her and untied herponytail. “What are you doing?” Kathleen’s voice was soft. “It doesn’t look good on you.” “So what?My hair will get in my way when I eat if I don’t tie it up.” Kathleen stretched out her hand. “Give itback.” “Nope.” Samuel raised his hand. Kathleen stood on her tiptoes as she tried to snatch it back.She was a hundred and sixty-eight centimeters, but in front of Samuel, who was a hundred andninety centimeters, she was still a shorty. It didn’t do much help even after she stood on tiptoe. Herentire body was completely pressed against Samuel’s warm body, and her feeble hand waspressing onto his chest as she put in her entire strength to get back her hair tie. Even then, shedidn’t notice anything. Ever since they got married, Samuel had never pushed her away. They werea married couple, so they had done whatever a married couple would do. Because of that, she wasused to being intimate with him. Suddenly, he put his arms against her slender waist as he leaned

down to speak next to her ear. “You’re really stubborn. Why are you still trying to get it when it’sobvious that you can’t reach it? Why don’t you beg me the way you used to?” Kathleen would havebegged him in her mellow voice. “Sam… Give me back my hair tie. I’ll be a good girl.” But now, shewouldn’t say it, and he didn’t like the way she was resisting him. Kathleen pushed him away andlooked at him in anger. “That’s because we can’t go back to how things were.” Samuel wasstunned. Kathleen stretched out her hand. “Give me back my hair tie.” It was what he wanted her tosay, but the look in her eyes and her tone weren’t the same as before anymore. “No!” Samuel’shandsome face darkened as he walked to the side of the window and threw it out of the window.“You!” Kathleen gritted her teeth. Samuel walked out of the room in a huff, rendering herspeechless. Since Kathleen and Samuel rarely came back to sleep over that much, she didn’t havemany of her daily necessities with her. Most of her stuff was at the condominium. The hair tie thatSamuel had just thrown out the window was the only one that she had. Something is definitelywrong with him! Having no other choice, Kathleen could only go downstairs with her hair down.Wynnie waved at her. “Come here, Kate.” Kathleen walked over. Christopher looked at her withgentle eyes. “Kathleen.” Kathleen smiled at him sweetly. “Christopher.” Samuel had a gloomy lookon his face. Christopher’s lips curved upward, but he looked slightly depressed. Kathleen took herseat between Samuel and Wynnie. Immediately, Wynnie chose a big crab for her. “Your stomach’sunwell, so you can only eat one.” “Thanks, Mom.” Phew. Fortunately, I only need to eat one. Butwhy do I feel like throwing up? Despite that, she held it in because she didn’t want anyone to noticeanything. Right when she was about to deshell the crab, Samuel snatched it away. Kathleenswallowed a lump in her throat, her gaze fixated on the crab. Although she couldn’t stand the smell,it didn’t mean that she couldn’t eat it. I can still eat one. “Take your vegetables. Don’t forget what thedoctor said,” Samuel said like a strict father. Kathleen puffed her cheeks as she took her fork.Christopher looked at her, and there was no telling what he was thinking. After dinner, Samuel andChristopher went to the study upstairs to discuss some matters. Kathleen, on the other hand, wentto the courtyard. The Macari family had a big Samoyed called Snowy. Kathleen and Snowy werevery close. Whenever she came to the Macari residence, she would always play and talk to Snowy.
