Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety) novel Chapter 249
Samuel was amused by her reaction.
As they walked, he explained to her, “I don’t come here often. I’ve only been here once during the grand opening. This clubhouse belongs to my friend.”
His friend again? Just how many friends does he have?
“Your friends are all your scapegoats, huh?” mocked Kathleen with her soft and gentle voice.
He narrowed his eyes and defended himself, “I’m not lying to you.”
The conversation came to a temporary pause as they stopped in front of a private room.
Samuel pushed the door open and stood at the doorway as the smoky and foul air inside the room enveloped him.
Instead of entering right away, he called out coldly, “Ryan!”
“Yes, I’m here! Mr. Macari, you’re finally here. I’ve got you a pretty lady to keep you company.” Ryan stood up.
Before Samuel could say anything, Kathleen pinched his waist.
He frowned. “I didn’t know he’d do something like this!”
Apparently, she did not believe him.
“Oh, Mr. Macari, I see you’ve brought a lady yourself. You should’ve told me earlier, so I won’t bother finding one for you. But of course, if your companion doesn’t mind, the lady can stay. The two of them can serve you together,” said Ryan, smiling from ear to ear as he glanced at Kathleen, who was wearing a cap and a mask.
Samuel’s face was dark, while Kathleen let out a cold sneer.
“What did I tell you, Ryan? Did you not heed my words?” Samuel questioned unhappily.
Ryan trembled all over when he saw the gloomy look in Samuel’s dark eyes, indicating that the latter was furious.
He gave the people beside him a few kicks. “That’s enough, guys. Get lost!”
Alas, they were all too intoxicated to move.
The unhappy look on Samuel’s face was evident. “Let’s go somewhere else. This room reeks of alcohol and smoke.”
“Okay.” Ryan nodded sheepishly.
He got up and brought them to another private room.
Samuel asked indifferently, “Does this private room have the same view as the one just now?”
“Yes, it’s the same. Mr. Macari, does your girlfriend not like the smell of smoke and alcohol?”
Samuel looked at him gloomily. “Don’t ask anything that doesn’t concern you.”
“Then shall I have someone send some food here?” asked Ryan, trying to please Samuel.
The latter looked down at the woman in his embrace. “Are you hungry?”
Kathleen nodded in response.
After all, she came here right after work and didn’t even get to have dinner.
Ryan was quite surprised to see Samuel treat another woman so nicely.
He had always thought that Kathleen was the only one who had a special place in Samuel’s heart.
“Get us something tasty and light. Serve us some juice, too,” ordered Samuel.
“All right.” Ryan nodded and sent his subordinates by the door to make the arrangements.
Samuel nudged Kathleen to sit down. “You can take off your mask and cap now. It’s safe here.”
In the meantime, Ryan was curious about this woman that Samuel brought with him.
Just how pretty can she be to make Mr. Macari treat her this gently?
As he was wondering, he saw the woman remove her mask and cap.
He was dumbfounded when he saw Kathleen’s exquisite and alluring face.
I knew it! She is, indeed, Kathleen. With her around, Mr. Macari would never fall in love with anyone else.
“Kathleen, please don’t take what I said to heart. I was just kidding,” said Ryan, feeling extremely awkward now that he knew Kathleen’s true identity.
“Oh, that isn’t funny at all,” said Kathleen with a faint voice.
Ryan remained silent while Samuel shot him a glare.
Soon after, the waiters brought in some dishes.
Samuel stood up and opened the window facing the inside of the clubhouse.
They were able to look down at what was happening downstairs.
After taking a few bites of food, Kathleen walked over to Samuel’s side and asked, “You said you brought me here to watch a show. What show is it?”
He responded coldly, “It’ll start soon.”
She furrowed her brows and was wondering what he had in mind when a group of people entered the clubhouse.
The leader was a young woman who was wearing a fur coat.
“She’s Tracy Smith, Finn’s wife,” Samuel whispered into Kathleen’s ear.
She is Finn’s wife?
“Is she here to cause trouble? Why did she bring so many people here?” Kathleen asked in shock.
“Mr. Macari, please put this on.” Ryan approached and gave them two sets of earphones.
Samuel helped Kathleen put on the earphones.
His movements were quite gentle as he did so for fear of hurting her small and delicate ears.
However, it was quite difficult for him to put the earphones on for her, as her ears were small in size.
After several failed attempts, he turned to glare angrily at Ryan. “Why can’t you do anything right?”
Ryan hung his head in embarrassment.
See? He dotes on his wife so much!
Ryan had noticed that Samuel obviously loved Kathleen deeply since a long time ago.
Not even Samuel himself was aware of that.
“I’ll make sure to be more careful next time.” Ryan looked at Kathleen piteously, silently asking her for help.
The woman took the earphone and wore it. “See? It’s done.”
Samuel turned and shot Ryan another glare wordlessly.
After moments of speechlessness, Ryan turned on his heels. “I’ll take my leave first.”
Samuel put on the earphones too.
Although they could see and hear Tracy from a distance, they couldn’t hear her clearly.
The earphones would help them hear her better.
“Go and find Wendy right away!” bellowed an enraged Tracy.
Before she could even finish her sentence, the men she brought dispersed and began searching everywhere.
A while later, Kathleen heard footsteps sounding outside the room.
She asked curiously, “Do you think they have the guts to come in?”
Samuel snorted and put on a vicious smile. “I do hope they’ll barge in.”
At that moment, they heard the voice of the guards by the entrance, stopping Tracy’s men.
“There are VIPs in here,” said one of the guards icily.
“Who cares? Ms. Smith wants to look for someone. The audacity of you guys to get in her way!” Tracy’s men regarded the guards with contempt.
“They’re so haughty,” commented Kathleen with a frown.
Samuel sneered in response.
Then, they got into a fight.
That was when the door to the private room they were in was opened.
Samuel turned to look coldly at the intruder who barged in and whispered to Kathleen, “Wait here for me.”
She nodded and watched as he strode over and kicked the man out of the room.
The man didn’t even manage to see Kathleen’s face before he was sent flying out of the room.
Samuel closed the door behind him and spoke in a cold tone. “You’re just a dog of the Smith family. How dare you barge into my territory!”
Kathleen heard Samuel’s voice in the earphones and thought it was fascinating.
These earphones are probably the same as the ones Samuel gave me last time.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Macari. We didn’t know it was you. I’m truly sorry!” the man cried and begged for mercy.
Samuel gave him another kick. “Bring me to see Tracy!”
“Yes, sir!” The man, who was scared out of his wits, instantly obeyed.
Kathleen looked down and saw that Ryan had approached Tracy.
“Ms. Smith, what brings you here?” he asked.
“Ryan, you’d better stay out of my way. I’m here to look for someone,” answered Tracy apathetically.
“Who are you looking for?” Ryan was curious.
Tracy said furiously, “I’m looking for a b*tch who dared to seduce my husband!”
“What? Who has the guts to do so?” Ryan’s faked surprise was obviously exaggerated.
“A woman named Wendy Locke. Do you know her?” asked Tracy, fixing her gaze on Ryan.
The man shook his head. “No.”
Tracy scoffed. “Hmph! How could you not know her? She’s your subordinate. Are you lying to me?”
“He doesn’t know his subordinate, but I suppose you know yours, right?” Samuel’s cold voice echoed.
Carrying the man by his collar, he threw the man onto the floor right before Tracy’s feet.
