Kathleen furrowed her brows.
Samuel noticed the changes in her expression and said teasingly, “I’m just joking.”
It was then that Kathleen let out a sigh of relief.
“However, there is no need for you to worry.” Samuel lowered his gaze and said, “Some relationships can’t be recovered. If they could, you wouldn’t have left me.”
You left so heartlessly, and you never returned.
Upon hearing that, Kathleen bit her lip. “They are your blood relatives.”
Sooner or later, they will forgive you.
Samuel glanced to the side. “Kathleen, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m prepared to die alone.”
There was a short pause before Kathleen responded, “You won’t die alone.”
Samuel looked at her pointedly and questioned, “Why do you say that?”
“You already know the answer. You don’t have to ask,” Kathleen shot him and emotionless glance.
However, he was indeed clueless.
“Enjoy your meal.” She did not want to continue the conversation. After she said that, she turned around and left.
She actually wanted to tell Samuel that he still had Nicolette by his side.
No matter what, as time passes, everybody will forget whatever Nicolette has done. When that happens, Samuel will definitely bring her back, and the two of them will get to be together openly. Why must he play the pity card in front of me?
Kathleen quickly retired to the kitchen.
Mila saw her come in. She peered at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “Mdm. Hunt, how many more dishes do I have to serve?”
“We only have the dessert left. It’ll be done soon,” Mila replied with a smile.
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded, still in deep thought.
After a while, John entered the kitchen. “Kate, Mr. Macari has left.”
He left?
Kathleen was momentarily stunned when she heard that.
She got to her feet and exited the kitchen.
Samuel’s seat was indeed empty.
As she got closer, she found that he had indeed finished his plate of mac and cheese.
Why did he eat so fast? Didn’t he say that he can’t eat fast because of his weak stomach?
Just then, she spotted a note under the plate.
To Kathleen: The mac and cheese was delicious. Thank you. I am unsure why you got angry when I said that I would die alone. I wasn’t blaming you. I just didn’t want you to misunderstand. I chose to be alone. It has nothing to do with anyone. From: Samuel.
Haha!
Kathleen crumpled the note. He says he doesn’t blame me, but I think he does! Why else would he leave a note?
“Kate, what’s the matter?” Just then, Wynnie walked over to her.
Kathleen was stunned for a moment, but she quickly put away the note and shook her head. “Nothing,” she said.
Wynnie patted Kathleen on the shoulder. “Don’t let him get to you. He’s been really ill-tempered this past year. We don’t want to be bothered by him anymore.”
“Mrs. Macari.” Kathleen hesitated for a moment and said, “Samuel is an adult. He’s free to be with whoever he wants.”
Hearing that, Wynnie cast a meaningful gaze at her. “If he dates Nicolette, are you fine with that?”
Kathleen was taken aback. “There’s nothing between us anymore.”
In other words, she was implying that Samuel was free to date anyone, and she had no right to stop him.
Wynnie sighed softly and said, “Well then, he’ll just stay single.”
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
She was of the opinion that Wynnie and the others would compromise eventually.
After all, they couldn’t bear to see Samuel alone.
“Why don’t you introduce a girl to him?” Kathleen said coldly.
Wynnie did not know how to react.
“I…” Kathleen muttered awkwardly.
