Divorce Anxiety -
Chapter 74
“I don't love you,” Samuel said coldly. “In the past, I didn't understand what love was. You saved my
life, for which I was grateful, and I naively thought that was love. But when I heard that Kathleen lost
our children, I finally realized I don't love you.”He had rushed to the hospital back then and heard
from Wynnie that Kathleen managed to pull through.Their children, unfortunately, didn't make it. At
that moment, the one thing that Samuel panicked most about was what would happen to him if
Kathleen died.If Kathleen left this world, where would I go to find her?In that instant, he realized
who he truly loved.Kathleen! I love Kathleen and I can't lose her!Nicolette, on the other hand,
couldn't believe her ears. “You love her? But you just said you didn't know what love was." That may
be so, but I do know that I don’t have that feeling when I'm with you,” Samuel retorted. “I might
have already fallen in love with Kathleen from the day she became my wife. I just hadn't noticed
then.”"Samuel, if it weren't for your family’s disapproval, we'd have gotten married long ago!”
Nicolette whimpered as tears coursed down her cheeks.Alas, Samuel remained cold and distant. “If
relationships can't stand the test of time, it'd mean there wasn't true love. I've probably never liked
you that much, which explains why I gradually fell for Kathleen after you left. Or perhaps, my being
with you was just a form of rebellion. The more my family disapproves of something, the more I
want to go against them.”"How could you treat me like this, Samuel?” Nicolette asked amidst sobs.
“Don’t you know you're my only hope?”I've painstakingly put on this act for so long because of him,
yet he's now telling me he doesn't love me? No! I won't allow that!”Since you've saved my life
before, I'm willing to wipe the slate clean between us,” Samuel uttered calmly. “From today onward,
we'll have nothing to do with each other. I'll arrange for you to start a new life abroad and also
ensure that you'll live comfortably for the rest of your life. However, you are not to show up in front
of Kathleen again. I won't allow you to bother her either.”Nicolette continued to cry, indignant at
the way Samuel had treated her.Her goal had always been to marry rich so she could haughtily
return to the Yoegers and laugh in their faces.Now, however, all her hopes and dreams were
shattered.She had nothing left.On the other end, Samuel promptly hung up the phone and turned
to Tyson."Tyson, have you prepared everything I told you to?""There’s just a bit more to go.""Hurry
up, then."Tyson nodded. “Understood!"When Kathleen finally woke up, it was already ten in the
morning.She opened her eyes and saw Emily sitting by her bed. “Aunt Emily."Emily was Wynnie
Staines’ elder sister, which made her Samuel's aunt.Therefore, it was only right for Kathleen to call
her by that too.”Oh, you're awake,” Emily replied as her lips curled into a smile.She carried herself
with an air of ladylike elegance, while Wynnie was a tough, no-nonsense career woman.The two
sisters, without a doubt, were very different.Surprised by the visit, Kathleen blurted out, “Aunt Emily,
what are you doing here?"*I came to see you. By the way, I've made some mushroom soup. Try
some,” Emily replied as she poured a bow! of soup and placed it in Kathleen's hands.The soup
smelled delicious and since it wasn't too hot, the latter drank it immediately and felt it warming up
her insides.”Aunt Emily, I'm sorry to have troubled you.”"Please, don’t stand on ceremony with me,”
Emily said with a grin. “Your mother-in-law's busy, so she got me to help take care of you. Let me
know if there's anything you need.”Kathleen shook her head. “I don't need anything, Aunt
Emily.”“You're being polite with me again. It's really no bother at all.””I really don’t need anything,
Aunt Emily,” Kathleen mumbled as she quietly finished her soup.Upon hearing that, Emily let out a
sigh. “It's heart-rending to see you like this, you know?”Kathleen merely pursed her pale lips and
said nothing.”Well, what did Samuel say?” Emily asked concernedly.”He said he wants to live happily
with me."“People often fail to appreciate what they have until it's gone,” Emily uttered. “The whole
family has tried to talk some sense into him, but he’s just too conceited.”As it turned out, Emily was
absolutely right.Samuel was the CEO of Macari Group, and being in that powerful position gave him
a superiority complex.Because of that, there were many times when he refused to accept other
people's opinions or advice.lt took a painful loss before he finally understood what everyone else
had been trying to tell him.Once again, Kathleen was silent.“What about you?” Emily probed.” don't
want to,” Kathleen answered as she bit her lip. “But if I were to ask for a divorce, I know he wouldn't
agree to it."Even if the rest of the world forced him to do so, Samuel would still stubbornly refuse to
sign the divorce agreement.Besides, if divorce had ever been a viable option, things wouldn't have
had to drag on till now.Now that Kathleen was thinking about it again, she realized how laughable
the situation was.In the beginning, Samuel was the one who wanted a divorce, and she agreed to
it.Later, he changed his mind, but it became her turn to ask for a divorce Just like that, the two of
them went back and forth with no end in sight.Emily caressed Kathleen's pale face and mumbled,
"You're a good person. If it were someone else, they'd have thrown a fit."Admittedly, Kathleen still
had feelings for Samuel and didn’t want to embarrass him.However, could he ever truly understand
my good intentions?Kathleen was by no means weak, but she knew she loved Samuel a little too
much.Emily didn't say anything more as she watched Kathleen finish her food. Afterward, she
chatted a bit more with the latter and finally left. Now that she was alone, Kathleen decided it was
time to do something about her body odor.Without further ado, she walked into the bathroom and
took a warm shower.While standing under the showerhead, her hand instinctively went to her
stomach.There used to be two adorable babies in here.In the past, no matter how awful she felt,
Kathleen was always cheered on by the fact that her two babies were about to come into the world.
Even if the future seemed bleak, they'd be the motivation she needed to take it one step at a
time.All she felt now, however, was a flat stomach and utter coldness.Oh, my babies. I've been
robbed of my babies!Getting Samuel to break Nicolette's legs would never be enough to make up
for Kathleen's pain.However, there was nothing else that she could do.With Samuel defending
Nicolette, she could never really do much harm to the latter. That was why she specifically asked him
to break Nicolette’s legs.To her surprise, Samuel held up his end of the bargain.In that case, there
was nothing more she could ask for.Just then, Samuel's deep voice rang out."Kate, are you in
there?"Alas, Kathleen didn't feel like entertaining him."Kate, can you say something if you're inside?”
Samuel pleaded, a hint of worry in his voice.In the end, Kathleen gave in. “I'm here.”"Okay, good,”
Samuel replied, sounding relieved. “I'll wait for you outside.”With that, Kathleen turned off the
shower and dried herself. After putting on a bathrobe, she walked back out into the room.Upon
seeing her, Samuel immediately went forward with a towel to help dry her hair.”You shouldn't be
taking showers. Given your condition, it's easy to catch a cold.” It's my body. I know what's best for
me,” Kathleen answered coldly.Samuel instantly furrowed his brows. “Your body's mine too."The
remark rendered Kathleen speechless, and she just let him continue wiping her hair. After a while,
Samuel took out a hair dryer and quickly set it up.Sit here,” he said as he patted his leg.Kathleen
hesitated. “I'll do it myself."In return, Samuel shot her a knowing look. “Are you rejecting me?""Are
you only seeing it now?” Kathleen asked indifferently.
