Reliance Samuel's face was extremely grim.
“Did I say something wrong?” Kathleen asked in surprise.
“No.” Samuel’s handsome face was utterly cold.
“If I set up a company, I'd have to approach a wholesaler.” Kathleen did not understand why she felt
compelled to give him an explanation.
“Most of the nation's raw materials are controlled by him.I had no choice but to approach him.” Samuel
did not expect Kathleen to provide an explanation. Furthermore, she did it for business reasons, not
personal feelings.
“Okay.” Samuel’s icy gaze turned a few notches warmer. Kathleen shrugged. Soon, they arrived at the
Macari residence.
“Mommy!” Desiree dashed forward. Kathleen bent down and picked her up. Desiree wiggled her legs
happily.
“Mommy, you finally remember me and Eil!” Kathleen looked at her daughter’s aggrieved little face and
immediately comforted the latter.
“I'm sorry, Mommy has been very busy recently.” Desiree was a sensible child.
“Mommy, it’s okay, I understand.Great-grandmother would not want to see you upset.”
“Yes.” Kathleen pat Desiree on her head. They then walked into the mansion. Eilam heard the
commotion just now and knewKathleen was here to pick them up. His beautiful eyes were full of
expectation. Diana was in the living room accompanying them.
“Old Mrs.Macari,” Kathleen greeted as she walked over. Diana had been feeling down recently
because of Frances’ recent passing.
“You’ve come.” Diana’s voice was slightly hoarse. Kathleen walked up to her and sat down.
“Old Mrs.Macari, are you feeling okay?”
“I've just been feeling a little down,” Diana replied.
Kathleen knew Diana was advanced in years. She reached out her hand and checked the latter's
pulse. Diana had suffered a stroke before, and although she took care of her heath, she was getting on
in years. As such, her health deteriorated when she felt depressed. With a face full of concern,
Kathleen advised, “Old Mrs.Macari, you must ensure you get enough rest.I’ll prescribe you a
medication.You must make sure to take them.”
“All right.” Diana nodded and felt comforted. She knew that even though Kathleen had lost her memory,
the latter would always be kind and caring. Diana missed those good old days when Kathleen was just
a young child. The latter would sit by her, chat with her, and make her laugh.
Even though Kathleen was still being herself, some things had changed. She knew what had happened
was not Kathleen's fault.
It was simply a joke played by fate. Furthermore, she did not want to help make excuses for Samuel.
He had done many things to try to make amends to Kathleen.
However, it seemed like there was a wall between them, and there was no way they would ever
reconcile. Notwithstanding this, Diana noticed that his gaze was fixed on Kathleen and sighed inwardly.
Such a shame. Kathleen finished writing the prescription.
“Old Mrs.Macari, you just need to take the medicine as prescribed.” Diana nodded.
“All right.” Kathleen wanted to pass the prescription to Maria, the housekeeper who had been taking
care of Diana all this time. However, Samuel reached out to receive it.
“Daddy, Iwant to eat strawberry ice cream.” Desiree looked at him expectantly.
“You can only have some,” Samuel responded gently.
“Okay.” Desiree nodded happily.
“Eil, do you want some?” Eilam raised his handsome little face.
“I want chocolate ice cream.”
“Let's go.” Samuel held Desiree in one hand and Eilam in the other and walked into the kitchen. He
passed the prescription to Maria on the way.
“Kate, do you plan to leave?” Diana asked. Kathleen was taken aback.
“Old Mrs.Macari, how did you know?”
“It's just my guess.” Diana smiled casually.
“When I first saw you, I already knew you had such thoughts.”
After all, they had lived together for some time.
Even though Kathleen had lost her memory, Diana understood Kathleen well. Kathleen could not help
but feel amazed by how well Diana was at reading people.
“Don't Worry.I won't stop you,” Diana said in a gentle tone of voice.
“My only wish is that you'd let Desi and Eil stay in the Macari residence before you take them away.Will
that be okay?”
“Of course.” Kathleen nodded lightly.
“Old Mrs.Macari, I'm sorry, I—”
“You don't have to explain.” Diana smiled warmly.
“My old friend has left.There's no reason for you to want to come back here anymore.” Kathleen looked
down.
“Your granny called me the night she passed away,” Diana continued slowly. Kathleenraised her head.
“What did Granny say?” “She did not say anything else other than asking me to take care of you after
she left,” Diana explained.
“I know she meant to tell me to always support your decisions.” Kathleen was shocked, not expecting
Frances to make sucha call.
“You may not know this, but Samuel was unconscious after you disappeared five years ago.One year
later, your brother brought the two kids over.If not for them, Samuel may have never woken up.” Diana
sighed.
“After Samuel woke up and found out that you gave birth to the two children, he could not stay calm.He
took care of Desi and Eil every single day without fail.” Kathleen nodded.
“Samuel is a good father.”
“His reliance on the two kids is greater than any of us,” Diana uttered meaningfully.
“It's not that the two kids are unable to leave him.It’s the other way round.He can’t leave the two
kids.They are his life.”
Kathleen looked toward the kitchen and saw Samuel watching the two children have ice cream. Hehad
a warm smile that was filled with adoration. If I force them apart, it may not do any of them good.
However... Kathleen pursed her lips. Diana did not say anything else. In the evening, Diana asked
Kathleen to stay for dinner. The latter found it difficult to refuse the invitation and had no choice but to
agree.
There was still some time before dinner. “Kate, you must be tired.
Why don't you rest in the room?” Diana looked at the dark circles below Kathleen’s eyes and felt pity for
the latter.
“I've asked someone to tidy up the guest room for you.”
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded. She stood up and walked up the stairs. When she was on the second floor,
she realized that she did not know which was the guest room.
The Macari residence had many rooms, and she felt that it would be rude if she opened them one by
one to check. Just as she was hesitating, Samuel's deep voice rang from behind.
“It's the room on the left.” She turned around and replied embarrassedly, “Thank you.”
Samuel walked up and helped her to open the door.
“You're welcome.”
“Where's Desi and Eil?” she asked.
“They're with Diana,” he resp
