“I’ll pay close attention.” Kathleen encouraged him, “Good luck.”
“I’ll do well because you’re here.” Alex blushed slightly as he turned around and walked off.
Kathleen blinked.
Some people just didn’t know how attractive they were.
At the sight, Samuel snorted.
At the seminar, there was a seat specially reserved for Samuel.
However, there was only one seat reserved for him.
As Federick was the one who brought Kathleen along with him, they naturally sat together.
“I won’t bother Mr. Macari then,” Kathleen said as she turned to Federick. “Let’s go, Federick.”
Federick nodded in response.
“Stop right there,” Samuel demanded coldly.
He walked up to Federick and took the seat number from the latter’s hands as he continued indifferently, “I’ll swap seats with you.”
Federick and Kathleen were rendered speechless by his actions.
In the end, Samuel still switched seats with Federick.
Despite that, Samuel was always the center of attention wherever he went.
Even though they were seated in the last few rows, the crowd’s gaze constantly remained on him.
“I swear I’ve gained more attention over the past few days compared to the past three years that I’ve been married to you,” Kathleen whispered.
“We haven’t even gotten a divorce,” Samuel responded coldly.
“I know. It’s in one month’s time,” Kathleen replied as she looked toward the stage.
Alex had already made his way up onto the stage.
Samuel didn’t like it when Kathleen looked at other men.
He hoped that he would be the only one in Kathleen’s eyes.
“Kathleen, since you already know that, then why did you still go out with other men?” Samuel asked in a stern tone.
“Even you’re allowed to send Nicolette off at night and stay out for the entire night. All we did was go out openly in broad daylight, unlike the shady business you were up to.” There seemed to be thorns in her sweet voice as she added, “Samuel, since you could question me on the basis of marriage ethics, why don’t you take a look at yourself first?”
If they weren’t in public, Kathleen genuinely wanted to stand up and leave.
As Samuel heard her words, his face darkened.
While Alex gave his speech on stage, Kathleen listened to him attentively.
However, it wasn’t because she was interested in him.
Instead, she was thinking about how she would handle the situation if it ever happened to her and her child.
In the future, she would have to deal with everything on her own. Besides making a living, she still had a lot of important skills that she had to learn.
In fact, she already wasn’t expecting much deep down.
“Samuel, don’t forget about the divorce agreement,” Kathleen reminded.
Samuel remained silent.
He hadn’t been paying much attention to what Alex was talking about.
All he heard was that there wasn’t a conclusion on the causes of autism and how parents should take special care during pregnancy.
Despite that, he felt that he was just worrying too much.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Kathleen’s belly. They didn’t know when she would give birth yet.
After the specialist’s talk was over, the host invited a member of the audience to go up onto the stage to share their views.
The host then picked a number and announced, “Number two hundred and fifty-one.”
Kathleen was stunned to hear this. Me? But I don’t have any experience.
Kathleen waved her hands to refuse it.
At this, the host chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. Just come up on stage. No one’s going to laugh at you.”
Kathleen bit her lip.
How could I be so lucky? I rarely attend such events, and I can’t believe that I got picked once I went to one.
But now, she had no choice but to go up on stage.
Once she went up, the crowd started discussing among themselves.
“What a pretty girl. She doesn’t look like she’s married.”
“How do you know that she isn’t married? Let me tell you this. Beautiful girls and handsome men always marry at a young age.”
“No, I stand by my words. I want to take a few photos of her. I’m going to find a wife just like her in the future.”
“I also think that she looks like everyone’s first love who could make people’s hearts flutter.”
