I Like You

Kathleen reached her room. She checked on her phone, only to see the system notifying her ofEil's

and Desi's location. She froze for a moment. Ten kilometers away? Could it be that they're here too?

As a matter of fact, Kathleen had gifted both of them two kid watches, which had a tracking system

inside. She never thought that the watches would come in handy today. At the same time, Kathleen

seemed to know who brought them there.

With that thought in mind, she could not help but chuckle. Meanwhile, Leonard stood at the entrance to

welcome Samuel. As the car slowly came to a halt, Samuel got out of the vehicle. Looking at the injury

on Samuel's wrist, Leonard asked worriedly, “You brought the kids here all by yourself?”

“Tyson's coming too,” said Samuel coldly.

Leonard was slightly taken aback.

“Is Tyson here to take care of the kids or you?” Indifferently, Samuel replied, “I don’t need someone to

take care of me.”

“Me too.” Eilam got out the car with Samuel.

Although the former was still a kid, he could take care of himself well. Hearing Eilam's words, Leonard

stared at him and began to ponder.

Eil is exactly like his father, even in the way they talk.

“The check-in procedure is done.I'll bring you guys there.” Leonard smiled.

Samuel nodded in response. With that, Leonard and him got into the car together. Without delay, they

started their journey and reached the resort's entrance very soon. Knowing that Samuel brought the

children along, Leonard specially booked a children-friendly resort for them, which provided a small

children's playground. In the backyard of the resort, there were slides, swings, and other fun facilities.

Desiree liked the place very much. Eilam, however, was not a tad bit interested. He glanced at Samuel

and uttered, “Daddy, I'll watch over Desi.Go busy with your stuff.”

With that said, the little boy walked in the swing’s direction and started reading a book. Seeing that,

Leonard crossed his arms and voiced enviously, “Mr.Macari, could you tell me how to raise a kid so

well? He’s such a good boy.How I wish I have a son like him!” Samuel's gaze turned intense.

“I've never taught him anything.” Eil was dependable and sensible since young.

It’s heart-rending to see him behaving this way.

A kid his age shouldn’t be too mature.I hope that he can grow up happily, albeit born a guy.

Unfortunately, being a Macari, it's almost impossible for him to enjoy a carefree childhood. “Mr.Macari,

Kathleen is living right beside this resort.”

Leonard pointed at another resort not far away. The resort where Kathleen was staying was a taller

building.

In fact, she could easily spot them from her window. In the meantime, Leonard felt that he was well-

intentioned. Samuel gazed at him calmly.

“I brought them here to play, that's all.”

Hearing that, Leonard could feel the corner of his mouth twitch slightly. Tsk!Who would believe that?

Anyone who isn't a fool knows that he came with an ulterior motive.

“If so, you should go and enjoy yourself with the kids.There are electric tourist vehicles here.I'll leave

you guys to have fun,” mentioned Leonard.

Right after saying that, he left. Samuel then lifted his head to look at the resort afar while pursing his

thin lips. At that time, the watch on Eilam's wrist rang. It was a text from Kathleen that read: Why did

your father bring both of you here? Eilam replied: I don't think he brought us here to play.

Mommy, are you at the resort too? That text left Kathleen dumbstruck almost instantly.

Eil has quite a strong intuition! Kathleen: Yes. Eilam: Mommy, are you here alone? Kathleen: No, of

course.I'm here with my male friend. Eilam: Will he be our new dad? Kathleen was bemused by the

littleboy's words.She replied: No.

Eilam: Anyway, I know what Daddy is up to by coming here.

Kathleen was curious,so she asked: What is it? Eilam: To stop you.

Feeling puzzled, Kathleen replied: Stop what? Eilam: You're seeing someone else.He's here to

interrupt you, undeniably. An unexpected burst of laughter escaped from Kathleen at his text. Kathleen:

I’m afraid that his plan may not work. Eilam was rendered speechless.

Kathleen: Doyou want me to go over and find you guys? Eilam: Don't worry, Mommy.

Enjoy your time here with your friend.

After all, you and Daddy are divorced. Kathleen beamed and replied: Okay.I will!

Eilam: All right. Meanwhile, Kathleen smiled faintly. Will Samuel be angry if he knows what Eil said to

me? It was at that moment the doorbell rang out of the blue. Hearing that, Kathleen went to open the

door. Ryder was standing outside.

He changed his attire from a while ago into his casual wear. Just now, he was wearing a suit, looking

extremely professional. After changing into a different outfit, he looked even more elegant.

“Let's go out for a spin.Then, we can have lunch together afterward.” Ryder flashed her a smile.

“Sure.” Kathleen nodded. She packed her stuff and followed him out. They then went to the backyard

and drove off in the electric tourist vehicle. Their vehicle happened to drive past the resort where

Samuel was staying. At that time, Samuel was on the second floor and spotted them from the window.

His eyes turned maliciously bloodshot as he watched them from above. He knew that he had no right to

get furious.

Nonetheless, he could not control his emotions.

“Mr.Macari, it's time for you to take your medicine.” Tyson walked over with a glass of water. He

responded gruffly, “I’ll take it after having my meal.Go and get Eil and Desi here.Let's go for lunch

together.”

“Sure.” Tyson nodded. Afterward, he went downstairs and asked the two children to get prepared. A

moment later, Samuel came down as well.

“Daddy! I’ve only been playing for a while.I still want to play,” complained Desiree. Gently, Samuel

responded, “Be a good girl.Let's go eat first.”

“But I'm not hungry.” The little girl patted on her stomach. In fact, they had just eaten whenSamuel went

to fetch them earlier.

“You will be hungry later.Let's go,” replied Samuel, his gaze darkening slightly.

After giving his remark, he grabbed Desiree’s hand and departed. Tyson and Eilam followed closely

behind as they made their way to their destination. The latter heaved a sigh inwardly. On the other side,

Ryder brought Kathleen to wander around the place. Both of them were not starving yet. The scenery

there was breathtaking.

As the water shimmered under the sunlight, the lake looked stunning.

Besides, the resort was not opened to the public officially, so the place was not crowded and was

extraordinarily quiet. After parking the car in a shaded place, Ryder gazed at the lake and asked

Kathleen, “How do you feel?” Kathleen nodded.

“It’s pretty nice.The scenery is picturesque.Furthermore, it's not crowded here, so it's very relaxing.”

“I knew you’d like it here.” A wide grin started to form on Ryder’s handsome face. He looked genuine

and innocent,like a young boy, when he smiled. Noticing that, Kathleen was taken aback.

“Ryder, do you like me?” He was stunned by her frank query.

“You don’t have to look at me like that.I'm not stupid, and you're acting way too obvious,” said Kathleen

quietly. He stared at her with an intense gaze.

“Judging from your straightforwardness, I assume you're not interested in me at all, right?” The

unexpected question flustered Kathleen as well.

“Why do you say so?”

“If you like me, it would give you butterflies in your stomach at the beginning of our

relationship.However, you aren't shy around me by asking me something so direct.Hence, I'm certain

that you don't like me,” Ryder muttered frankly. She nodded, confirming his deduction.

“Sorry, Ryder.I don't like you.” The man chuckled and replied, “Kathleen, I've liked you for a very long

time.”

“What?” Kathleen was stunned upon hearing that.

“I’ve seen your performance on stage when I went to your school in the past.Since that day, I have had

a crush on you.Nevertheless, knowing about what happened between you and Samuel, I decided not

to interfere,” explained Ryder ina husky voice.
