Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety) novel Chapter 231

When Samuel and Kathleen arrived at the entrance of the hospital, they realized it was snowing outside.

Kathleen held her hand out and caught a few snowflakes. Sadly, they melted as soon as they touched her palm.

Samuel, too, did the same, but they did not melt as fast as hers.

Seeing that, Kathleen touched his hand with a frown. “The ward was so warm just now. How is your hand still so cold?”

Samuel lowered his hand. “Because you said you’d buy me some clothes, but you haven t.”

Is this even related to the clothes?” Kathleen was at a loss for words.

Samuel smiled calmly. “Let’s go.’ “Mm.” Kathleen nodded.

 

Thus, they left for the restaurant across the street.

As expected, it was still operating.

Along the way, Samuel placed his hand on Kathleen’s head to prevent her hair from getting wet.

By the time they arrived at the store, the back of his hand was wet with snow.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped it gently.

Meanwhile, Kathleen noticed an empty table by the window and led Samuel there.

As they sat down, a waiter placed the menu in front of them, asking, “What would you like to order?”

 

“I1.

I’d like a quinoa salad,” Kathleen answered without looking at the menu. “Oh, a side dish and a set of charcoal grilled roast beef too.” “All right.” The waiter nodded. “What about you, mister?” “Same as hers. I want the quinoa salad,” Samuel said coldly.

 

“Okay. Please wait for a moment” The waiter collected the menu and left.

Kathleen removed her coat, revealing the caramel­colored sweater she wore on the inside. She looked sweet and polite in it.

Samuel, however, wore a black suit on the inside as usual.

It was as if he did not have other clothes.

Kathleen’s slender fingers tapped the tabletop, and Samuel instinctively placed his hand on the table.

He had long, slender fingers with prominent knuckles. When he put out his left hand, Kathleen realized the wedding ring was still on his finger.

She sighed. “Do you want to take it off?’

 

 

«I

No.” Samuel shook his head.

 

Kathleen checked his pulse with a neutral expression.

“Are you upset?” Samuel asked in a low tone. “Then again, this is my personal preference.” “That’s right. I have no right to interfere with your preference,” responded Kathleen helplessly.

Samuel regarded her thoughtfully. “What do you think things would be like now if we had gotten together back then?”

Kathleen thought for some time. “We’d still be like this, I suppose. There wouldn’t be any changes.” “Do you really understand what I’m saying?” Samuel asked in a raspy voice. “I meant if I knew I liked you sooner, we would’ve gotten married once you graduated from university. Perhaps we’d be living another kind of life now.”

Instead of being like this.

Kathleen pursed her lips. “Samuel, stop thinking about what ifs. It’s meaningless.”

Samuel fell silent.

She withdrew her hand and instructed, “Remember to stay warm for these couple of days. If you don’t take care of your health this winter, your condition will worsen in the next.”

Samuel smiled. “Okay.”

 

“I1

I’ll buy you the clothes,” added Kathleen. “After all, I don’t want to owe you anything.”

Samuel had an inexplicable expression. “Okay.’

 

Not long after, their food was served.

They stopped talking and tucked into the food in silence.

After their meal, Samuel paid for the bill.

When he returned to the table, he told Kathleen, “Grandma wants us to go home straight away. She’ll stay with Old Mrs. Yoeger tonight, so we don’t have to worry about her.”

Pursing her lips, Kathleen answered, “Okay, then.” Samuel’s gaze dimmed. “They won’t be able to get any rest if you stay here, anyway.”

 

Kathleen nodded in agreement.

It was indeed uncomfortable to share a room with three people.

“Let’s go.” Samuel picked up Kathleen’s scarf and handed it to her.
