Winning her back after divorce (Divorce anxiety) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Schemes Kathleen's face instantly flushed red as a beetroot. “Samuel, you…” How could he speak such words so unabashedly? “I’m not as disgusting as you think,” said Samuel ashe got out of the car. Kathleen frowned deeply. Huh? Is he leaving because he's mad at me? He didn't even bother about leaving his car behind.

But how am I going to drive? I'm wearing heels! Just as she was considering whether to call for a driver,Samuel returned. Carrying a huge bag with his long, graceful fingers, he got into the car and shut the door. Kathleen was a little taken aback. However, before she could react, Samuel retrieved a box of adhesive bandages from the bag.

Then, he took her ankle with his large, warm hands and placed it on his lap. Kathleen merely gazed at him in silence as he covered the wounds on hertoes and ankle with the Band-Aids. After that, he put her leg down and picked her other leg up. His actions were cautious and gentle, and it was clear that his intentions were pure. Kathleen's heart was racing as she watched him. “You seldom wore high heels in the past.” Samuel's deep voice broke the silence.

“You mostly only wore flats.

Besides, you never liked shoes of this brand and used to complain that their soles were stiff.” “I’ve told you this before?” Kathleen was stunned. Samuel nodded. “I’m surprised youstill remember,” remarked Kathleen, who was genuinely astonished. “Of course, I do.

I paid attention to everything you said.” Samuel lowered her leg.

“You shouldn't wear these high heels anymore later.” “Are you suggesting that I walk barefooted, then?” Kathleenasked, feeling rather exasperated and amused at the same time. As soon as she said that, Samuel took out a pair of dainty, white shoes from the bag.

“Here, wear this pair of shoes.

It's your favorite brand.” “Thanks.” Kathleen was shocked that Samuel actually thought of buying that as well. Hearing her word of thanks did not put Samuel in a better mood,but it did not worsen his mood either. Kathleen put on the shoes and sat quietly in her seat. As Samuel resumed driving, he began asking, “You and Ryder....” Here we go! Kathleen knew he was definitely going to ask about that. “Yes?” she uttered curiously. “It's nothing.” After a moment's thought, Samuel decided not to ask about it. Kathleen could not help but feel perplexed. However, she was somewhat relieved that he did not ask further, as she did not know how to explain it to him either. “It looks like the weather's going to be fine tomorrow.

I'm thinking of bringing Desi and Eil out for some fun.

Will you be free?” asked Samuel. Kathleen immediately froze. He must be doing this on purpose! “No,” Kathleen answered.

After a moment's hesitation, she continued, “Can't we postpone it?” “I've already promised them,” Samuel went on in a deep tone.

“I can bring them myself if you’re busy.

But of course, how should I explain to them that you’re not coming along?” Slightly dumbfounded, Kathleen respondedin an embarrassed tone, “You could tell them that I'm busy.” “Sure.” Samuel nodded and said nothing else. Soon, they arrived at the place Samuel mentioned earlier. It was indeed located in the heart of the city, and the surroundings were nice. Kathleen could not be more satisfied with it. Finally, she asked, “What place is this, Samuel? Who should I talk to about renting it?” “This used to be the office of Macari Group.

It's where my grandfather started the company,” stated Samuel in response. Kathleen was stunned to hear that. “You maytalk to my father about it, as this building is under his name,” Samuel added. Kathleen did not know what to say. So, this place is still under the ownership of the Macari family... “All right, then,” she agreed with a sigh. “My father's in the office right now.

Do you want to come over?” Samuel asked. Kathleen raised a brow.

“Why does it seem like you'd planned all this in advance?” “I have nothing to do with the agent’s disappearance.” “Well, you’d better not let me find out that thiswhole thing was a setup,” Kathleen replied disbelievingly. “I'm hardly bold enough.” Samuel gazed at her with a half-smile. If Kathleen indeed set up her office here, then it would mean she would frequently have to come back to this place. He wished more than anything that she would stay here and would not dare do anything that might cause her to stay away. “Lead the way, then.

I'll meet your father now,” said Kathleen with a scoff. “This way, please.” Samuel spoke in the mostpolite tone. Kathleen's brows were furrowed lightly as she followed him. Ten minutes later, they arrived at Macari Group, and Kathleen went to meet Calvin in his office. The moment Calvin saw them entering his office, his eyes instantly brightened. “Kate! What brought you here?” he greeted her warmly. Calvin was very fond of Kathleen. He knew that Kathleen was a girl with a pure heart and that she had married Samuel with no other intentions besides to love him. Unfortunately, Samuel did not cherish her. “Mr.

Calvin, it’s like this.

Samuel just showed me Macari Group's old building, and I'm thinking of renting it,” Kathleen explained. “Sounds good.

In fact, you may just go ahead and use it.” Calvin nodded affirmatively. Kathleen was rendered speechless. “Dad, will you be serious? Kathleen’s no longer part of our family anymore.

You're just putting her in a tough spot if you offer the place to her for free now,” Samuelremarked in a deep voice. Kathleen was just about to nod in agreement when Calvin retorted angrily, “You heartless brat! How dare you say that! What did you mean by saying that she's not part of our family anymore? She's the mother of my grandchildren and a great contributor to our family!” Samuel could not find any words to refute Calvin's statement. “You're indeed nothing but a heartless brat!” Calvin added, fuming. Afraid that she was unintentionally causing a rift between the father-and-son duo, Kathleen quickly clarified, “Mr.

Calvin, let me explain.
