Samuel was taken aback by Cedric’s words.

My grandma? Why did she do that?

“That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. You and Nicolette’s suffering is finally coming to an end,” Cedric

replied.

“I’m hanging up.” Feeling annoyed, Samuel ended the call.

He wanted to call Diana. Nevertheless, he felt that it was unnecessary to do so.

For some reason, Samuel felt a pang of sadness at that moment. It made him feel uneasy.

Samuel stubbed out his cigarette and went to look for Kathleen.

After taking a shower, Kathleen sat on the bed while texting on the phone.

Diana texted: Katie, I’ve helped you spread the news of your divorce from Samuel.

Kathleen was at a loss for words.

Diana followed up with another message: I didn’t expect Samuel to make your relationship public. Don’t

worry. I know many outstanding men. They wouldn’t mind a divorcee.

Once again, Kathleen did not know how to reply to Diana.

Wynnie added: Me too, Kate. There are plenty of good guys out there. You can choose whoever you

like.

Calvin texted: I concur.

Kathleen was dumbfounded. She did not know how to respond to their suggestions.

Suddenly, she felt the presence of a towering figure over her head.

Looking up, she realized it was Samuel.

He glanced at the phone and immediately snatched it out of her hands.

Then, Samuel tapped on the phone with his long, slender fingers. He tossed it back to Kathleen before

going to the bathroom for a shower.

Kathleen immediately picked up her phone to take a look. She saw that Samuel had sent a message in

the group chat.

Kathleen texted: Add me to the group.

Diana and the others did not respond to the message.

After all, they were not foolish people. They knew that the person who sent the text was Samuel

instead of Kathleen.

The group chat fell into an unusual silence.

Later in the evening, Samuel came out of the shower wearing black silk pajamas.

Picking up his phone, he called Wynnie.

“Why aren’t you in bed at this hour?” Wynnie asked as soon as she answered the phone.

“Add me to the group chat,” Samuel said emotionlessly.

Wynnie replied softly, “I don’t have the right to do that.”

“You’re the group admin,” Samuel said indifferently.

Wynnie retorted, “So what if I’m the group admin? We created this group chat in preparation for Kate’s

divorce. I’ll add you to the group if you agree to divorce her. Are you planning to divorce now? Huh?”

Without giving his mother a reply, Samuel hung up the phone.

His face darkened like a raging storm.

Pfft!

Kathleen covered her mouth and snickered at him.

Turning around in the direction of her voice, Samuel looked at Kathleen. His side profile was stern yet

handsome at the same time.

Suppressing her laugh, Kathleen put her phone down and lay on the bed.

Samuel did the same and went to bed too.

Laying flat on the bed, with hands behind his head, he asked, ”What are you laughing at?”

“What? Am I not allowed to laugh?” Kathleen pursed her lips.

He grimaced. “Are you happy to see me suffering?”

“Yes, I’m delighted,” Kathleen admitted. She paused for a moment before adding, “Well, since I can’t

handle you, someone else must be able to take you down a peg.”

“Hah. You’re certainly getting bolder. You aren’t treating me the same way as you did before,” Samuel

retorted coldly.

After some hesitation, she said, “There’s no way back for us. Do you understand what I’m saying,

Samuel? We can’t turn back the clock.”

“Yes, I do. So what?”

“We should move on with our lives.” Kathleen pondered for a moment before continuing, “Perhaps

these past three years have been miserable for you. Hence, we should end our relationship.”

Was I miserable? I don’t think so. I was very happy spending every day with her.

“Don’t mention such matters in the future. Don’t mess around with grandma and my parents. They’re

trying to fool us by doing the complete opposite. They want to prevent our divorce,” Samuel advised.

Kathleen pursed her lips. “I think you misunderstood their intentions. You aren’t someone who would be

deceived that easily.”

“Do you know me well?” Samuel asked impassively.

Kathleen was stunned by his question. “I’m sorry. Of course, I don’t know you at all.”

“I’m serious. I would fall for their tricks. Don’t joke around with them anymore. Otherwise, you’ll be the

one who’ll be embarrassed in the future,” he reminded in a low voice.

Kathleen’s lips twitched at his warning. Still, she remained silent.

She did not understand what Samuel was trying to say.

Nevertheless, she was so exhausted to the point that she did not want to dwell on the matter anymore.

As a result of her fatigue, she fell into a deep slumber very quickly.

Hearing the sound of breathing coming from his side, Samuel turned sideways and held her in his

arms.

While embracing Kathleen, Samuel whispered in her ear, ”We won’t be getting a divorce.”

After that, he shut his eyes as well.

The next day, Kathleen woke up to an empty bed beside her.

Thinking that Samuel had left for work, she got up from the bed and walked out of the room.

All of a sudden, Kathleen heard a man’s cold voice coming from the living room. “Are you sure?”

Tyson nodded. “Yes, it’s confirmed. The other party has admitted to it.”

Frowning, Samuel ordered, “Lock the person up. We can’t let anyone find out about this matter.”

“Understood.” Tyson nodded.

“What about the person I asked you to find?” Samuel continued probing.

“She’s outside.”

“Ask her to come in,” Samuel ordered.

Tyson nodded and went out as instructed.

Glancing sideways, Tyson immediately saw Kathleen. He greeted respectfully, “Mrs. Macari.”

Samuel turned around and looked at her. “You’re awake?”

She nodded in acknowledgment.

“Breakfast’s on the table,” Samuel informed quietly.

“Okay.” Kathleen walked toward the dining room.

Sure enough, her favorite breakfast was set on the dining table.

After a while, Samuel led a woman in.

The woman was around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. Despite her average look, she exuded a

fearsome aura.

Furthermore, her all-black outfit made her look standoffish.

“She’s Sarah, your bodyguard. She will be responsible for your safety from now on. She won’t leave

your side at any moment,” Samuel uttered monotonously.

Kathleen frowned. “I don’t need a bodyguard.”

“You must accept her. This is for your safety,” Samuel replied with a stony expression.

Taking a deep breath, Kathleen persisted, “Samuel, if you’re worried about my safety, you should

investigate Nicolette instead. She has been trying to harm me on several occasions. Why don’t you

investigate her? If she’s caught, there won’t be any problem left. Hiring a bodyguard for me isn’t going

to solve these problems.”

Samuel was displeased by her remarks. “I don’t need you to teach me how to do things.”

Kathleen knew he would react like that whenever she mentioned Nicolette.

In Samuel’s eyes, Nicolette was an angel or a saint who was not capable of harming people.

Therefore, he thought that it was Kathleen who slandered Nicolette.

At that moment, Kathleen was emotionally exhausted to continue arguing with him. Without saying a

word, she continued to eat her breakfast.

Samuel’s eyes swept over her coldly. Turning to Sarah, he ordered, “Protect her.”

“Understood.” Sarah nodded in acknowledgement.

Then, Sarah glanced at Kathleen with a chilling expression. Her eyes were full of contempt.

Meanwhile, Kathleen was dissatisfied with Samuel’s arrangement.

This isn’t protection at all! It’s surveillance. Samuel, you’re too much!

Samuel knew that Kathleen was fuming at that moment.

Without saying anything, he finished his breakfast and left the house.

Like a deflated balloon, Kathleen slumped back into the chair.

Sarah glanced at her and persuaded, “Mr. Macari is doing this to ensure your safety.”

“So?” Kathleen side-eyed her.

“So, you’d better don’t be ungrateful,” Sarah retorted with obvious displeasure.

Kathleen sneered. “So what if I’m being ungrateful? Just ask Samuel to replace me if you don’t like this

arrangement.”

Sarah remained silent.

“You can’t do that, can you? However, I can replace you with another bodyguard. Don’t look at me with

such a disdainful gaze. You don’t have the right to do so. Even Tyson, who is always by Samuel’s side,

wouldn’t dare to glare at me like that. I didn’t want to expose you in front of Samuel just now. That

doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you,” Kathleen said harshly.
