Granting Desires
Caleb sent Kathleen back to the Yoeger residence.
When she got out of the car, she saw Samuel standing at the entryway.
I guess the time has come. Need to rip off the band-aid right now.
Caleb was also prepared to get off from the car, but Kathleen stopped him.
“Caleb, let me handle this.”
Caleb thought for a while. “Okay. Remember to call me if you need anything.”
“Got it.” Kathleen nodded.
He closed the door and drove away.
Samuel walked toward Kathleen as he exuded a noble and powerful aura.
Kathleen was about to speak but was interrupted by Samuel pulling her into his arms.
He hugged her hard and growled, “Why?”
His hold on her was so tight that Kathleen’s bones started to hurt.
She pushed Samuel away and looked at the man’s furrowed brows. She could tell that he was in pain.
“What do you mean, why? I longer love you, and I can no longer find it within to love you. So stop
pestering me!”
Samuel looked at her stiffly.
“You’re not the one who has nightmares every day. You’re not the one who wakes up every day feeling
like shit, and you’re not the one who wakes up with hatred brimming from within.” Kathleen’s
expression became more and more indifferent. “If not for the Macari family, I wouldn’t have cared less if
you lived or died.”
“You’re lying!” Samuel grabbed her wrist. “You obviously like me still!”
Kathleen sneered. “That was a lie. I came back to Jadeborough to face the Yoeger family. I just needed
some help. That’s all.”
Samuel tried very hard to ignore the pain gnawing at him. “Is someone threatening you?”
Kathleen was silent.
“You don’t have to worry about that! I’ve got people working on those issues! I’ve also been keeping
tabs on the Melting Ice Grass!” Samuel’s dark eyes were bloodshot. ”You said you would wait for me!
So why are you suddenly marrying Caleb?”
His heart was aching.
Kathleen huffed impatiently. “Samuel, this is my revenge. I reckon what you’re feeling now is how I felt
when I saw you and Nicolette together. If I don’t let you feel this pain now, how would I make my
vengeance sweeter?”
Samuel paused.
“Samuel, from now on, even if you die, I won’t bat an eyelid, said Kathleen icily. “If you want to continue
doing this, I’ll stop being nice about it.”
“I don’t believe you!” Samuel was very stubborn, his handsome face was full of remorse. “Kate, I know
what I did was wrong. Please forgive me, won’t you?”
“No.” Kathleen took a deep breath before saying, “Samuel, why should I forgive you? Because you
want me to? When I made you break Nicolette’s legs, you faltered.”
Samuel started at her with a sullen expression.
Kathleen wrestled her hand out of his and said coldly, “I hope you can be a little more measured. From
now on, I’m Caleb’s wife. I’ve got nothing to do with you.”
She did not have much time anymore. Vivian’s death was going to be a burden she had to carry.
She knew that Caleb was going to take action against Finn soon and did not mind fanning the flames.
“Samuel, let’s end things here.”
Samuel remained stoic as he held back the pain in his heart. “I know you are hung up over Vivian’s
death. But you don’t need to get your hands dirty over those people! I will handle it for you!”
Kathleen opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Samuel.
“Don’t be so hasty in rejecting me.” He was afraid of what Kathleen was going to say, so he hurriedly
added, “Kate, don’t I even have the right to help you?”
“Nicolette will always be between us.” Kathleen looked at Samuel coolly. “We can’t go back to the way
things were.”
After speaking, she walked away.
Samuel looked at her departing figure and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Suddenly, he heaved and threw up some blood.
Kathleen heard this and wanted desperately to turn around.
However, after thinking twice, she raised her feet and marched straight into the mansion.
Samuel looked at her walking away and promptly fell to the ground.
Kathleen looked at a nearby housekeeper. “Keep an eye on things outside and have someone send
him to the hospital.”
“Okay.” The housekeeper nodded.
Kathleen returned to the room and immediately went to the window to look outside.
She saw the housekeeper carrying Samuel to the car before driving it to the hospital.
She pursed her lips and lowered her hands weakly.
It’s done…
She felt tired.
Perhaps I should not have returned with Charles in the first place. I should have let Charles sort out the
Yoegers on his own.
In fact, she also tried to let go of the past. Unfortunately, she failed to do so.
The next day, Samuel woke up.
His expression was grim and a sinister aura was emanating off him.
Wynnie was sitting at the side. “Ah, you’re up.”
Samuel nodded.
“Samuel, regarding Kate…” Wynnie hesitated for a while.
“Her business has nothing to do with me,” Samuel said coldly. “She hates me to the core.”
“Samuel, you can’t blame her.” Wynnie fussed over him, attempting to give him some comfort.
“I’m not blaming her,” said Samuel in a low voice. “I’m just granting her wish and setting her free.”
That’s it. I won’t bother her anymore.
Wynnie pursed her lips. “Maybe you should look on the bright side.”
“Mom, I want to stay by myself for a while,” replied Samuel. “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt myself.”
“Okay.” Wynnie nodded, and she got up and left.
The ward became very quiet.
The only sound was the chirping of birds outside the window.
Spring had arrived, but Samuel was completely frozen on the inside. He felt numb from the cold.
He closed his eyes for a moment and called out, “Tyson!”
Tyson had been stationed outside this entire time.
Hearing Samuel’s voice, he came in.
“Yes, Mr. Macari?” Tyson stood upright beside Samuel’s bed.
“Have you tracked Nicolette’s whereabouts?” Samuel asked coldly.
“Yes.” Tyson nodded.
“Good,” murmured Samuel. “Leave things be for now. I want to catch her right before Kathleen’s
wedding.”
“Understood,” said Tyson quietly.
Samuel’s heart ached.
Whenever he thought of Kathleen, heard her name, or even said it out loud, all he felt was pain.
“You can make a move on Finn.” Samuel’s gaze was deadly cold. “Tracy should also pay for her
actions.”
“What do you mean?” inquired Tyson hesitantly.
“Let them taste all the bitterness that Vivian has experienced!” replied Samuel through gritted teeth.
Tyson immediately had a plan in his mind, “Of course, Mr. Macari. I’ll have it arranged right away.”
“Off you go then.” Samuel closed his eyes again.
He felt positively exhausted.
How I wished to fall asleep like this and never wake up again.
Back at the Yoeger residence, Kathleen received a call from Charles.
“Is this true?” Charles frowned slightly.
“Yeah.” Kathleen nodded.
“Well…” Charles thought about it and bit his lip. “If that’s what you want.”
“Charles, you don’t have to worry about me. Caleb and I have already made things clear,” Kathleen
explained. “I’ll head over once I sort things out.”
“You don’t have to come over yet. Nothing is going on here,” Charles urged. “As long as you can
protect yourself, I will have no worries.”
Kathleen pursed her lips and sighed. “Charles, I can’t let you face this alone. Knowing Wyatt and
Wilbur, if nobody helps you, they will come for you first. After all, you are Raymond’s most trusted aide
and his godson. Given how important your position is in the Blissful Sect, I have to be there.”
Charles lamented this, blaming himself. “I only sought you out because I wanted to meet my relatives
before I die. I’d never expected to become a burden to you like this.”
“Charles, how can you say that?” Kathleen exclaimed. “If it wasn’t for you, I would have crumbled long
ago.”
Charles said in a deep voice, “Kate, let my affairs take their course.”
“Charles, you are my only relative,” said Kathleen solemnly. “To me, you are more important than
anyone else. I won’t let anything bad happen to you.”
“I understand.” Charles’ lips curled into a smirk. “It’s a shame I can’t attend your wedding, though.”
“It’s okay. It’s a fake wedding, anyway” Kathleen paused for a moment before continuing, “By the way, I
agreed to help Caleb with his freighter problems.”
“I’ll do it. Don’t worry about it,” Charles said.
“Okay. If you face any difficulties, let me know,” replied Kathleen meaningfully. “The person in charge of
the port over there still owes me a favor.”
“All right, I got it.” Charles’s tone was gentle. “You should rest early. I’m hanging up now.”
“Goodnight, Charles.”
“Goodnight.” With that, Charles ended the call.
He looked at the moon outside the window and put his hands on his chest. “I can’t drag Kate down. I
just can’t…”
