“Dad, how are you going to help me?” Kathleen frowned.
“It can be deemed that Samuel is cheating on the marriage. We just have to get the proof that he’s cheating and send it to the court. Let the court decide on your divorce,” Calvin said.
Kathleen was baffled.
Is Samuel really his son? Why does it look like he’s more like my own father? It seems like the Macari family doesn’t even like Samuel.
Embarrassed, she reminded him by saying, “But Dad, he’s your son.”
“We treat you just like our daughter. As both of you are my children, I love the two of you dearly.” Then, he gave her a meaningful look. “Anyway, it’s his loss if you are to be divorced.”
Kathleen was touched by his words. “Dad, thank you. But I wish to settle this matter with Samuel amicably.”
After all, it would be possible that we might bump into each other even after the divorce. There’s no need for the situation to be this tense.
At that moment, Calvin’s phone rang.
When he answered the call, his voice was cold. “The other party needs an interpreter because he’s from Granatano? Go to the Faculty of Foreign Studies and find someone who is proficient in Granatanolan.”
Kathleen spoke suddenly. “Dad, I can speak that language. Is there anything that I can help you with?”
Surprised, Calvin said, “Can you?”
She nodded in acknowledgment.
“That’s very good. Why don’t you go upstairs and change your clothes? We will need to go to the company later. An expert from Granatano has arrived. But he doesn’t speak Ustranasion.”
“Okay.” She immediately left to change her clothes.
Meanwhile, Calvin returned to the call and said to his assistant, “I’ll be there soon.”
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
In the meantime, Kathleen went to change her clothes. She took out a white blouse and a knee-length pleated skirt from the closet. If the two garments were to be paired, it would give her a beautiful and elegant look.
Moreover, there was a small necktie underneath the collar of the white blouse. It made the outfit look professional.
Coupled with her stunning face, it would mesmerize anyone in an instant.
After she had prepared herself, she exited the house with Calvin.
It was her first time to the company.
In fact, she had never been there in her entire life.
After she had married Samuel, he told her not to go to the company. It was to prevent the others from knowing her identity as he was worried that it would affect his reputation.
During that time, she did not want to cause him any trouble. Thus, she had followed his request willingly.
However, this time around, she was there to help Calvin. She did not have any intention of meeting Samuel.
“Dad, is it possible if you don’t tell anyone that I’m your daughter-in-law when we arrive at the office?” Kathleen asked awkwardly.
With a frown, Calvin asked, “Is this a request from Samuel?”
She nodded.
“Why does he have so many requests? Have you requested anything from him?” He was curious to know the answer.
Embarrassed, she answered, “I’ve never requested anything from him.”
Calvin was at a loss for words.
Thinking that she had let him down, she felt guilty in an instant.
With a sigh, Calvin said, “Kate, you’ve gone so easy on Samuel. That’s the reason why he’s behaving this way.”
Why is she indulging him too much?
Sheepishly, Kathleen lowered her head.
“I’m not scolding you, but you are his wife. Why didn’t you request something from him?” Calvin was perplexed by her attitude.
The answer was so obvious to Kathleen that she was confused to hear his question.
It’s because Samuel doesn’t love me. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to accept my requests. In the end, he will ignore me.
Feeling the onset of a headache, Calvin relented. “Very well. You have my word.”
“Thank you, Dad.” She pursed her lip before saying, “No, that’s not right. I should call you Mr. Macari.”
Calvin was not in a good mood after having his identity changed from being her father-in-law to an acquaintance.
