Based on Kathleen’s understanding of Samuel’s personality, she thought he would lose it.
Unexpectedly, Samuel merely looked at her coldly as his rough fingers cupped her face domineeringly. Immediately after that, he kissed her deeply.
Kathleen wanted to avoid his touch.
However, Samuel stopped her with his other hand and pressed her back into his embrace.
He didn’t like how Kathleen rejected him and refused his touch.
Although Samuel was upset at her actions, he couldn’t order Kathleen to accept him.
That didn’t matter to him because he had decided to spend the rest of his life with her even if she treated him coldly and pushed him away.
He would do anything to make her forgive him.
Samuel kissed Kathleen for about five minutes passionately.
Because of that, Kathleen’s legs went soft.
Satisfied, Samuel carried her with one hand and placed her on his leg.
When it came to strength, Kathleen could only accept her fate.
As Samuel was strong and Kathleen was weak, there was nothing she could do about the situation.
She could only sit on Samuel’s leg and let him dry her hair all he wanted.
Kathleen’s hair was like her personality, both soft and smooth.
In fact, she had always been a cute and obedient girl.
Samuel’s warm chest leaned toward Kathleen. He placed his lips by her ear and said, “I know you are still angry at me, and you can’t forgive me now. But that’s okay. I’ve already decided to attach myself to you for life. Hence, no matter what happens in the future, I will not let go of you.”
Kathleen felt bitter.
Why wasn’t he like this in the past? Why is he so nice to me after my heart stopped beating for him?
She remained silent.
The quiet Kathleen looked like a beautiful doll.
“After your body recovers a few days later, we will hold a wedding.” Samuel let out a deep sigh. “Kate, I will slowly make up for everything I’ve owed you.”
Hold a wedding?
Kathleen stared at him in disbelief.
Samuel curled his lips. “When the time comes, we will choose the wedding dress together.”
After Kathleen heard his words, her head hurt. That was because she didn’t want a wedding.
“Your hair is dry.” Samuel put down the hair dryer and carried Kathleen. Soon after, he placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
While he was doing that, Kathleen fixed her gaze on him. “Samuel, I’m tired.”
“If you are exhausted, you should sleep,” said Samuel straightforwardly.
“What I mean is I’m mentally tired.” Kathleen didn’t want to trigger him. “Can we not hold a wedding? I don’t have the energy and the mood for this.”
She had just lost two unborn children.
It was not true that she was not upset. She just didn’t want to show her emotions.
Samuel got closer to her. With a low and hoarse voice, he said, “But I want to.”
At his answer, Kathleen frowned. “This is not what you used to say.”
“Just like what you’ve said, that was before.” Samuel pinched Kathleen’s soft cheeks. “Don’t worry. You won’t feel tired. You merely need to dress up and attend the wedding as my beautiful wife.”
“Can you show some respect for my opinion?” asked Kathleen helplessly.
“All right.” Samuel looked at her dotingly. “If you have any special requests, you can tell me. I’ll grant all your wishes.”
Kathleen pursed her lips.
In reality, that wasn’t what she really meant.
She was sure Samuel knew the meaning behind her words.
However, he chose to ignore her.
It didn’t cause any impact even if she did express her point of view.
As expected, nothing had changed.
Samuel’s character was still the same. He was still in control of the relationship.
That left Kathleen having a headache.
A few days later, Kathleen was finally allowed to discharge from the hospital.
She went to the ward next door and bid goodbye to Gemma.
The latter still needed to rest and recuperate in bed for some time.
Samuel hired two caregivers to look after Gemma.
He would bear all the expenses.
“Are you going to be discharged?” Gemma lay on her bed.
Kathleen was in her own clothes.
Previously, she wore hospital gowns.
Kathleen nodded. “That’s right. The doctor says I can be discharged from the hospital.”
“Great.” Gemma smiled and said, “Congratulations on being able to leave the hospital. I might be able to discharge after some time.”
