Divorce Anxiety -
Chapter 7
Chapter 7 You Wanted To Marry MeKathleen was shocked.She turned around and saw Christopher.
"Oh, Christopher, it's you.”Christopher smiled. "Did something happen between you and
Samuel?"“Why do you think so?” Kathleen blinked innocently.She had tender features with a pair of
eyes that sparkled."The Yoegers told me Nicolette's back.” Christopher was very straightforward.The
smile on Kathleen's face slowly faded. “So everyone knows about it already."Everyone in the Yoeger
family knew that Kathleen was married to Samuel. Though Rose Yoeger, the legitimate daughter of
the Yoeger family, did not like Nicolette, she liked Samuel.She had turned up at Samuel and
Kathleen's wedding and insulted Kathleen, saying the latter was overestimating herself for thinking
she could turn her life around by being a replacement.Back then, Kathleen had indeed
overestimated herself.She had thought that she could turn her unlucky life around.However, life is
not something a person can control. When Christopher saw Kathleen's dejected look, his heart
ached.He raised his arm, wanting to pat her head. In the end, he only placed it on Snowy."Kate, you
can come to me if you need any help.” His voice was gentle. “I'll do whatever I can to help you, just
like old times."Kathleen tilted her head, frowning. “Christopher, what are you talking about?"She did
not understand what he was saying.Christopher stared at her, hesitant with his words. “Kathleen, ten
years ago—""Christopher, you're still here?” Right then, Wynnie appeared. “I've got some big crabs
here. Bring them home to your mom. I'm sure she'll like them.""Okay, Aunt Wynnie.” Christopher
nodded, reaching out to take the box of crabs from Wynnie."Drive safely,” Wynnie
reminded.Christopher nodded again. “Don’t worry, Aunt Wynnie. You should head inside.”Okay."
Wynnie glanced at Kathleen and turned around to enter the house.Once Wynnie entered the house,
Kathleen asked softly, “Christopher, what did you just say? What happened ten years ago? Did we
know each other back then?"Christopher’s gaze was gentle. “I'll tell you later.”I'll tell her when she
divorces Samuel. It should be the right time by then.”I'll get going now,” Christopher said.Kathleen
furrowed her brows, finding Christopher rather odd.”"What were you two talking about?” Samuel
stepped out from a dark corner.By that time, Christopher had already disappeared from their
view.”Nothing much.” Kathleen shook her head.”But I noticed you two talking for quite some time,”
Samuel said icily.He had seen everything from the second floor.”We were just exchanging some tips
about rearing dogs.” Tips about rearing dogs?” Samuel scoffed. “As far as I know, you're not the one
rearing Snowy." That's right. My dog's called Sammy,” Kathleen jeered.Instantly, Samuel knew she
was being sarcastic. “Kathleen!""Did I say something wrong, you son of a b*tch?” Kathleen became
bolder when she was at the Macari residence.”Looks like you've got a death wish.” Samuel tugged at
his tie.Kathleen mustered her courage and said, “Don’t you dare touch me. Otherwise, I'll show
Nicolette all my scars of abuse you created.””Don’t you dare!” Samuel's handsome face
darkened.”I'll do it if you bully me!” Kathleen decided to go all out. Why should I shut up when I'm
being bullied?"You sure have some guts.” Samuel was officially angered.Upon seeing his reaction,
Kathleen felt pleased.”Samuel, Kate, why don’t you two sleep here tonight? You can return
tomorrow.” Wynnie walked over."Mom, I think it's best if we go back,” Samuel said coldly. “Kathleen
doesn't feel comfortable staying here.”"I'll be fine.” Kathleen tried to go against Samuel's words.
“You can go back if you want to. I'm staying here.”Samuel was utterly displeased.If she were to
remain in the house, then he could not leave, as it would make Diana suspicious.However, he had
promised Nicolette that he would return.He narrowed his eyes at Kathleen, hinting at her to
cooperate with him.To his surprise, Kathleen stepped forward and held Wynnie's arm. “Mom, I'd like
to learn about the law from you, especially the Marriage Act."“Sure.” Wynnie nodded. “Calvin is on a
business trip, so I'm free tonight."“Let’s go.” Kathleen smiled faintly, revealing her dimples that made
her look pretty and sweet.Wynnie could not understand why Samuel did not like Kathleen, who was
such a likable person.Samuel could only watch Kathleen leave with a cold gaze.Kathleen stayed in
Wynnie’s bedroom for two hours.During that time, Samuel had sent Kathleen a message telling her
to go home with him, but she had ignored him.Wynnie was a discerning woman. She knew what
was going on the moment she noticed Kathleen's unhappy expression whenever Kathleen glanced
at her phone."Mom, I'm going back to my room.” Kathleen faked a yawn."Okay.” Wynnie's eyes were
filled with concern. “Kate, no matter what happens, just know that we're your family, okay?"Kathleen
was taken aback, but she quickly smiled. “Okay.”She then turned around, walked out of Wynnie's
room, and made her way back to Samuel’s.As soon as she entered, Samuel grabbed her wrist. His
gaze was filled with rage. “Kathleen, stop messing around!"“Let go, Samuel!” Kathleen's arm hurt
from his grip. “No one’s stopping you from seeing Nicolette. The door is wide open. If you want to
go, then go ahead. Why should I cover up for you? You're such a jerk. Do you know that?"How
could he ignore my feelings like that? What gives him the right to treat me this way?"You were the
one who asked for it,” Samuel uttered coldly. “I said I'd never like you three years ago, yet you still
wanted to marry me.”"Yes, I was too stupid three years ago. I thought I could change your heart
during these three years.” Kathleen's eyes reddened. “Samuel, ten years ago—"Before she could
continue, Samuel's phone rang.He took out his phone, and his gaze darkened instantly.Yes,
Nicolette.” Samuel's voice was incredibly gentle. It was as though he was coaxing a baby. “I know.
Don't cry. I'll go back right now.”With that, he hung up and cast Kathleen an icy look. “Put on your
coat and come home with me!”Kathleen bit her lip. “No!"She did not want to stay in the cold and
empty house alone.”It's useless, Kathleen. Do you think you can avoid having a divorce by hiding
here?” Samuel pinched her chin. “Think of your uncle. Do you think I'll let him live a peaceful life if
you offend me?"Kathleen froze.”Put on your coat.” Samuel released his grip on her. “I'll wait for you
in the car. If you don't come down in five minutes, then you shall see your uncle's dead body
soon."After that, Samuel turned around and left.Kathleen's legs gave in instantly; she had to lean
against the wall for support.Her eyes reddened, but she forced herself to hold back her tears.Samuel
is really ruthless. Then again, I'm just a replacement. What was I thinking, expecting him to treat me
with care?She shut her eyes, and tears started rolling down her cheeks.After some time, she wiped
her face with the back of her hand, put on her coat, and went downstairs.Samuel was already
getting impatient waiting in the car.Upon seeing her arrival, he urged Kathleen to enter the vehicle
quickly Kathleen got into the backseat.In the past, she had always sat in the passenger seat.Her
actions made Samuel's brows twitch. He did not like her silent rebellion.He preferred her to be
gentle and obedient.
