Samuel and Christopher had an intense fight.
In the meantime, Kathleen’s expression went darker and darker.
D*mn! These men are really stupid!
From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the water gun used to water the flowers beside the flower bed. She immediately walked over to pick it up and pointed it at the two men.
The men immediately stopped their fight and soon became entirely drenched.
It was then that Kathleen threw the water gun onto the floor.
“Maria, please prepare bath towels for them,” she instructed.
Maria quickly ran into the house to prepare them.
Meanwhile, Kathleen shot the men an icy gaze imposingly. “Don’t you ever do such things in front of me again. What I resent the most are those who fight without making things clear. Are you two beasts?”
The two grown men were being lectured like they were dogs, standing in place with their hands hanging naturally at their bodies’ sides while lowering their heads.
Christopher then looked at Samuel. The white shirt the latter was wearing clung to his lean figure, showing his abs clearly.
The scar from his heart that stretched all the way to his abdomen was now even more noticeable.
Shortly after, Maria returned with the bath towels, handing one to each of them.
“Maria, please take Christopher inside to take a shower,” Kathleen instructed expressionlessly.
“Okay.” Maria then led Christopher inside.
Looking at Samuel, Kathleen said, “Hurry back home. You just got discharged from the hospital.”
“Why can he take a shower at your place while I can’t? Am I not worthy?” Samuel’s tone sounded pitiful.
“Your house is only next door.” Kathleen was speechless.
What’s the point of fighting against this?
“You said I’m like a relative to you, but I can feel that you treat a stranger way better than me.” Samuel’s face turned pale. “I’m living alone. If I fainted, who’s going to save me?”
Kathleen was at a loss for words upon hearing that.
In the end, Samuel managed to step into the Johnson residence.
Kathleen went to Charles’ room and found two sets of clothes for the two men.
Since Christopher went to take a shower first, he used the bathroom on the first floor, and Samuel used the one on the second floor.
After asking Maria to send the clothes to Christopher, Kathleen went to pass Samuel the other garments.
“Samuel, I’ll leave the clothes at the door.” said Kathleen from behind the door.
Click!
The bathroom door was pushed open.
Kathleen was startled.
Oh, my! Will, will he… Although we used to be husband and wife, we have already divorced. How inappropriate for him to come out naked like that.
Needless to say, she thought too much.
“Give it to me,” Samuel said in a hoarse voice while stretching out his slender, fair arm.
After putting the clothes in his hand, Kathleen turned around to leave.
“Wait.” Samuel’s voice trailed off.
“What else do you need?” Kathleen asked, puzzled.
Samuel then opened the bathroom door.
Kathleen was so shocked that she covered her eyes.
Her reaction amused Samuel. “I’m not a pervert. Look. I have my bathrobe on.”
Kathleen blinked her eyes upon hearing that.
“Can you lend me your hairdryer?” The man’s voice was clear and deep.
“Follow me.” Kathleen led him to her room.
She took out the hairdryer from the drawer and handed it to him.
When Samuel received it, his slender, cold hand touched the back of her hand.
