Samuel turned and went into the bedroom.
Kathleen had just had her bath and was dressed in a light pinkish silk bathrobe. A beautiful silhouette could be vaguely seen, which accentuated her womanly figure.
Samuel stood behind her and sniffed. “You smell good.”
Kathleen blushed. “Go and take your shower.”
“All right.” Samuel quickly planted a kiss on Kathleen’s cheek and went into the bathroom.
As for Kathleen, she went straight to bed after blow-drying her hair.
Samuel took a quick shower and was done in just ten minutes.
He then went to the bed and embraced her.
Kathleen stared at his Adam’s apple then closed her eyes.
“Do you want to go and try out the wedding dresses tomorrow?” Samuel asked in a hoarse voice.
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
“Promise?” Samuel grinned.
“Yes.” Kathleen smiled. I’m not saying that I don’t want to. Why does he have to double confirm with me?
Little did she know that Samuel was lacking peace of mind. Perhaps he felt guilty that he hadn’t done what Kathleen wanted him to do and that he had lied to her.
If she ever found out the secret, she would be furious.
Samuel couldn’t imagine what it would be like if Kathleen was mad. So, he could only do everything he could to make her happy. He could only pray that she wouldn’t be mad at him and disappear from his life if the secret was revealed.
The next day, Samuel woke up early and went for a jog around the area.
When he returned, he saw Kathleen still in a daze, sitting in the bed with one hand holding a tablet and the other holding a stylus pen.
“Why are you awake?” Samuel frowned.
“I feel that if I continue to sleep in, I will be a goner,” Kathleen said worriedly.
Even though she had been pampered for three years as Mrs. Macari, she rarely slept in. She never spoiled herself too much to avoid that if something really happened, everything couldn’t return to the way they were.
Her solidity made him feel bad for her. She did everything with caution and care.
“There are only two of us in the house. You don’t have to be so obedient. Lie down and get some more rest.” Samuel patted her.
“Okay.” She lay down immediately.
Samuel flashed a faint smile.
He took away her tablet and the stylus pen, then went for a shower.
Kathleen fell asleep once again.
When he found out she was asleep after his bath, he did not disturb her. He went downstairs after getting dressed.
Samuel ordered Sebastian, “Call me when she’s awake.”
“Yes, Mr. Macari. I will.” Sebastian nodded.
Samuel left the house after making sure everything was managed well.
Sebastian mused. Kathleen is lucky to be doted by him. I thought Nicolette would be the one staying in this place. Who would have guessed it would be Kathleen instead?
There was a saying, “If one is in love with someone, they will not fall for others. But if that person falls in love with another, that means their feelings for the first person weren’t as deep in the first place.”
After all, Samuel was not fond of Nicolette, but he was more in love with Kathleen.
When Kathleen woke up, she headed downstairs for her meal.
Sebastian informed Samuel while she was eating.
A few moments later, Samuel sent someone to pick up Kathleen.
Sebastian informed Kathleen, “Mrs. Macari, Mr. Macari is sending someone to pick you up. The driver will arrive in just a few minutes.”
Kathleen suddenly burped, like a cute little hamster, and paused for a second. “Why is he sending someone to pick me up?”
“To try out wedding dresses and to take wedding photos, Mrs. Macari,” Sebastian answered.
I forgot about that! Kathleen was taken aback.
Seeing her reaction, Sebastian knew that she must have forgotten about it.
