Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety)

Chapter 154



Chapter 154

Christopher was offended by Kathleen’s distrust of him.

However, he knew that he could not force her to trust him as well.

It was his incapability that prevented her from believing him wholeheartedly.

However, she had an indescribable trust toward Samuel, be it good or bad.

Her understanding of Samuel was deeply engraved in her.

“Rest well. I’m going to make a move first.” Christopher got up to leave.

Kathleen sighed.

Samuel stared at her with his dark eyes as he asked. “Should I be happy?”

Kathleen stared back at him. “Happy about what?”

“Happy that you trust me more than Christopher.” Samuel raised a brow.

Kathleen snorted coldly, “What’s there to be happy about? Do you think it’s something that you

should be proud of?”

Samuel’s brows furrowed.

“You think that I treat you differently compared to others but you don’t know that these were my

sufferings back then.” Kathleen’s voice was soft and hoarse. “Because I know you too well, that’s

why I can read all your minor expressions. I’ve learned how to observe your expressions, afraid

that you’ll dislike me if I don’t. I’ve been trying to play my role as that perfect wife but we still ended

up with divorce.”

Samuel’s face darkened.

“I was constantly wondering. Must it always be like this?” Kathleen was frowning. “Must I

understand you so well and please you so much? There was a voice in my head back then, telling

me that you’ll fall in love with me if I try harder. Maye if I just wait for a bit longer, then you’ll notice

how good I am. But all my hard work was wasted once Nicolette was back.”

Samuel’s voice was slightly hoarse. “I…”

“I’m not reprimanding you by saying it all out, Samuel.” Kathleen took a deep breath. “It’s just that I

realized that you won’t care about that person no matter how much she loves you because you

don’t love her. Likewise, it’s because you don’t love me, that’s why you tend to ignore whatever I

do. Isn’t that right?”

Samuel was silent.

“How much do you know about me, Samuel?” Kathleen was biting her red lips. “Aside from those

shallow stuff, how much do you know about my inner thoughts?”

“I…. I don’t know.” Samuel spoke hoarsely. “I’m sorry.”

“You really don’t know.” Kathleen’s voice was deep. “But it means that you still have some self-

awareness, judging by the fact you’re admitting this. Here’s what, Samuel. I rejected Christopher

not because he wasn’t as good as you but because I just wanted to simplify things. I didn’t return

for the Morris family, the Corbyn family, or whatever. I just wanted to quickly settle all these

unimportant things. Do you understand?”

Samuel stared at her with his deep eyes. “Is it perhaps that I’m one of those unimportant things

too?”

“Yes.” Kathleen could not help but nod. “You sure are. I initially thought that we’ll just become

strangers when we meet again. But little did I expect you to cling to me.”

She could not understand that.

“So I’ve never been a part of your plan?” Samuel asked.

She nodded slowly.

Heh!

Samuel smiled coldly. “The truth always hurts more than lies.”

Kathleen pursed her lips.

Samuel raised his hands and placed his thumb on her red lips. He gently caressed them. “But

what should I do? I think I’m feeling down but I can’t bring myself to leave.”

Kathleen was frowning.

“Back then, I wasn’t afraid because I took your love for granted. I knew that you’d always be

waiting for me no matter how many times I left.” Samuel’s voice was low. “Now, I’m not afraid to

leave too because you don’t love me, but I love you.”

Kathleen stared at the cold man before her. She could not believe that those words came out from

him.

Samuel was overflowing with ferocity. The air surrounding them turned cold.

Kathleen shivered a bit.

However, that ferocity in him vanished in a blink of an eye.

“Let’s not talk about this.” Samuel put down his hand. “We’ve agreed on being a family. I should

learn how to adapt to this.”

Kathleen pursed her lips.

A smile flashed across his cold yet charming face. “But I must say, you made the right choice. It’s

the simplest way by giving the land deed to me. It simplifies everything.”

Kathleen said, “But that’s if you can manage it.”

“How hard do you think it can be?” Samuel raised a brow.

Kathleen frowned. “Isn’t it hard? What if Felix and Clement join hands?”

“They will have no gains from doing so. Why would they?” Samuel asked coldly.

Kathleen paused.

That’s true.

If Clement knew that the Morris family could not do anything once the land deed was given to

Samuel, he would not collaborate with them anymore.

Christopher returned home.

Emily approached him. “How’s Kate?”

“She’s all right,” Christopher answered.

“Grandpa’s here. He’s waiting for you in the living room,” Emily said.

Christopher frowned. He was not feeling good inside as he was displeased with Felix.

Upon reaching the living room, he saw Felix sipping coffee. He greeted, “Grandpa.”

Felix eyed Christopher from the side. “Was Samuel there when Kathleen called me?”

Christopher nodded. “Yeah.”

“Hmph! I knew it! You saw everything, right, Christopher? She’s so disrespectful toward me but yet

you want to marry her?”

Christopher frowned. “Wasn’t it because you insulted her first, Grandpa? What’s with a second

marriage? Is it illegal?”

Felix slammed on the table. “How dare you talk to me like that? That woman’s a bad influence on

you!”

Bad influence?

“Don’t blame it all on others, Grandpa.” Christopher was cold. “Why can’t she talk? You were

wrong in the first place. There’s nothing bad about Kate. The bad ones are the Morris family. We

don’t deserve her!”

“What are you talking about?” Felix was furious. “Who is she to be picky about? She’s a woman

who’s going to remarry. It’s her honor to be married into the Morris family. How dare she reject us?

If she had been smart enough, she could’ve just given the land deed to me and have children at

home.” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“That’s enough!” Christopher was mad. “Who do you think Kate is? And who do you think you

are?”

Felix’s face turned pale.

“Stop being so arrogant,” Christopher said angrily. “I know about how you and that woman treated

Mom! After all these years, and now you’re doing the same thing to the woman I like. I’m telling

you now that’s intolerable! Whether I get married to Kathleen or not, I won’t allow you to insult her

like that!”

“You’re out of your mind!” Felix was mad. He turned to look at Emily. “Look at your son!”

Emily frowned.

“Why are you blaming Mom?” asked Christopher coldly.

At that moment, Aaron came back.

He could hear them arguing from the courtyard.

It was apparent that he knew the reason behind the argument.

“You’re back just in time, Aaron! Look at them!” Felix said angrily. “What kind of head of the family

are you?”
