“Y-You shameless man!” Wynnie’s face instantly flushed red.
“You’ve always wanted to be the queen in bed. I’m here to satisfy your needs.” Calvin laughed wickedly.
Wynnie refused to talk to Calvin after that.
He is a filthy pervert!
Looking at how embarrassed Wynnie was, Calvin laughed out loud.
That’s Wynnie. She may look like a mature and steady woman on the outside, but deep down, she also has a shy and embarrassed side.
Calvin hugged her and kissed her cheek. In a low voice, he said, “Breaking news. Aaron urged Emily to be nice to Kate. They want to have Kate as their daughter-in-law.”
“How do you know that?” Wynnie frowned.
“Knowing one’s strengths and the enemy’s is the sure way to victory. This is my strategy,” he said.
Her brows furrowed deeper. “You have a snitch in the Morris family?”
Calvin merely smiled and said nothing.
Wynnie was rendered speechless.
This man is full of schemes.
Meanwhile, Samuel drove back to his mansion.
Upon entering the room, he looked at the balcony opposite of his place.
He saw the light was still on.
Without turning the light on in his room, he lay on the bed and texted Kathleen.
He texted: Are you still angry?
Kathleen replied: I’m not a petty woman. However, from now onward, I will avoid you.
Samuel texted: We are partners. How are you going to avoid me?
Kathleen replied: We can communicate via phone without having to meet each other.
Samuel: Aren’t you afraid your phone might be tapped? It is possible if the Morris family and the Corbyn family refuse to give up.
Kathleen pursed her lip before she replied: There must be a third person at the scene if we meet.
Samuel: Sure. As long as the person is not Husky.
Kathleen: Don’t you dare insult Charles!
Samuel: He even reprimanded me, your ex-husband.
Kathleen: Serves you right! You deserve it!
Samuel’s mind was imagining Kathleen’s angry face when he glimpsed the words on the phone screen.
She is always so lively and energetic. What a pretty and adorable woman.
Samuel: Sure. Serves me right. I deserve it.
Kathleen did not feel like entertaining him anymore.
This man is shameless.
Samuel: I will be editing the blueprint for Flobury tomorrow. Do you want to come and have a look?
Kathleen: No. I have a shooting session tomorrow.
Samuel: I can send it over to you.
Kathleen: You can ask Tyson to send it.
Samuel: He went to Smealand to dig up some potatoes.
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
Kathleen: Is there no one else in your company who can send it over?
Samuel: They don’t have the right to speak to the best actress. Only I can do that.
Again, Kathleen was rendered speechless.
Samuel: My dad told me something today.
Kathleen: I’m not interested.
Samuel: He wanted me to look for another woman to trigger you.
Kathleen’s lip twitched a little.
Calvin is indeed his father. How thoughtful he is for his son.
Samuel: However, I promised not to lie to you again, so I turned him down.
Kathleen did not respond to his text.
Samuel texted: If a woman appears out of nowhere, that must be my father’s arrangement. You better not accuse me of that.
Kathleen still did not reply to his message.
In the meantime, he noticed the opposite light was off now.
Is she asleep?
Samuel sent another text: Good night.
He put down his phone. Although the heater was on in the dark room, he could not feel the warmth.
The winter Kathleen left me was pure suffering. Since she’s back now, I don’t have to force her to be with me. As long as she’s there, and I can see her, it will be fine.
Samuel woke up in the morning and realized he remained in the same position he fell asleep last night.
He sat up in bed and felt a little dizzy.
As a bout of coughing wracked his body, he noticed he had a fever again.
The self-inflicted injury a year ago had made his body constitution worse than ever before.
