Divorce Anxiety -
Chapter 97
“Chris.” Kathleen was embarrassed. Why did he come too?”I heard something happened over here.
Has it been resolved?” Christopher looked at her with gentle eyes."Yes.” Kathleen nodded. That's
great.” Christopher flashed a half-smile and said, “If there's anything else you need, feel free to let
me know. I can help you.”It's just something unexpected came up,” explained Kathleen.Looking at
her, Christopher flashed her a smile before turning around and leaving.Nancy was also looking at
Kathleen, her eyes filling with admiration and envy.Be it, Samuel, the former husband, or
Christopher, the fiancé, they were both outstanding men.l would be satisfied with either of
them!Meanwhile, Kathleen had turned around to prepare the dishes. She spaced out twice during
that period.Christopher's and Samuel's appearances were definitely not a coincidence.However, they
might not have expected the other person to be at the scene as well. Samuel's purpose was
obvious.Kathleen was not a narcissist, but she could tell the man still had feelings for her.As for
Christopher, she knew he liked her and was currently pursuing her.Kathleen, unfortunately, did not
want either of them.However, if she were to put the two men together, Samuel was someone from
her past.She had already explained it to Samuel, but the man didn’t understand.Hence, Kathleen
reckoned she could only make things clear through her actions.An hour later, all of the dishes were
served.Nancy walked over to the table and began introducing the dishes one by one, “The appetizer
is a mushroom soup I've made. As for the main course, we have almond-coated prawns, black
pepper tenderloin roast, lobster, crab-stuffed sole, and prime rib!"“Did you prepare all these dishes
yourself?” asked Samuel in an icy-cold tone.Nancy was rather a petty person.She only mentioned
the soup was prepared by her and did not mention Kathleen at all. Hearing Samuel's question,
Nancy grew awkward and said, “I prepared the soup.”"What about the other dishes?” Samuel
questioned indifferently."Kathleen was the one who prepared the rest of the dishes,” Nancy
explained, albeit bitterly.She could tell Samuel did that to stand up for Kathleen, but she did not
disregard Kathleen intentionally.Nancy only wanted to leave a good impression in front of the
mayor.Meanwhile, comments began pouring in.What the hell! Is everyone in this variety show this
evil?If Samuel did not probe further, would Nancy have told everyone Kathleen was the one who
prepared all the other dishes?Why is this show full of b*tches? I've already had enough of Kylie. Why
did another one have to show up?I didn't Nancy was someone like that. It seems I was wrong about
her.Christopher furrowed his brow upon seeing that.Samuel is only making people turn on Kathleen.
What if Nancy gives Kathleen a hard time because of this?"Why don't everyone have a taste of the
dishes?” suggested Nancy with a tinge of awkwardness in her voice."Where's Kathleen?” Samuel
questioned again.Introducing the dishes and attending to the guests is something the head chef
should be doing."She’s busy preparing the desserts in the kitchen,” Nancy responded.Samuel didn't
say another word.While the other began their meal with the appetizer, he went straight to the main
course.Of course, his actions did not go unnoticed by Nancy, who couldn't help grumbling
internally. It seems that Samuel is still protective of Kathleen, despite the two of them being
divorced already.With that thought in mind, Nancy dared not give Kathleen a hard time.Samuel
tasted the food made by his former wife and began reminiscing the times before their
divorce.Kathleen learned to cook for him, but he had never expressed a hint of gratitude whenever
she prepared a table full of food for him.Gradually, she stopped cooking.Samuel suddenly felt a
pang of pain in his heart.”Mr. Morris, you seem to enjoy the crab-stuffed sole a lot,” said one of the
guests.Christopher curled his lips. “Yes, I really like it a lot.""You can probably have it any other day,
isnt that right, Mr. Morris? I'm sure Ms. Johnson makes them for you often.”"You're right. Kathleen
always cooks whatever I want to eat.” Happiness was written all over Christopher's face as he said
that.On the other hand, Samuel's expression darkened.Does Kathleen cook whatever he wants to
eat? Well, it's natural since they're engaged now. There's not a single dish on this table that is
among my favorites. She even made such a troublesome dish like crab-stuffed sole for him. Is she
trying to show how much she loves Christopher?Gloominess shrouded his face at that
thought.When it came to trying the rest of the dishes, Samuel had already lost his appetite. After the
main course, it was time for dessert.Kathleen came out of the kitchen when it was time to serve the
desserts.Despite working for an entire evening, she still looked energetic instead of dispirited.John
helped Kathleen serve the desserts for everyone.When the guests removed the lids, they noticed
that only Christopher's dessert was different from the others.The rest of them had the same
dessert.Of course, Samuel was also included in the majority.”Oh, it seems Mr. Morris’ dessert is
different from ours.” A faint smile spread across the mayor's face.Kathleen explained, “I heard you
prefer sweet dessert, but Mr. Morris doesn't like it too sweet, so I made another one for him."The
mayor chuckled and said, “Of course, of course. I understand.”"Please, have a taste. This is ice cream
I made by infusing Earl Grey tea into the milk,” said Kathleen.The mayor took the spoon from the
table and had a bite of the ice cream, immediately gasping in surprise. “This tastes great. The ice
cream is fragrant and sweet. It's silky smooth and melts in my mouth almost immediately."His
comment made Kathleen smile. “Yes. I heard you like Earl Grey tea, so I didn't use coffee for the ice
cream and opted for Earl Grey tea instead.”Nodding, the mayor complimented, “I didn't expect you
to know my preference, Ms. Johnson.”"I heard it from...” Kathleen paused before continuing, “I
heard it by coincidence.”Samuel’s gaze darkened.Did she forget all of my preferences? Does she
think I will give up if she uses a method like this?After finishing the dessert, dinner was finally
over.Kathleen and the rest walked to the entrance to send the mayor off.The mayor got into his car
and left, leaving only Samuel and Christopher behind.“Chris,” Kathleen called out before pulling
Christopher aside. “I have something to tell you."When Samuel saw that, a cold glint flashed across
his eyes.However, his car had already arrived.Tyson got out of the car and opened the door for
Samuel, who got into the car swiftly.As soon as the car drove away, Steve and the others let out a
sigh of relief.Kathleen was watching all this from a distance.She couldn't help letting out a breath of
relief when she saw Samuel had left.Then, looking at Christopher, Kathleen said, “Chris, please don't
get me wrong. I just don't want Samuel to pester me anymore. I've told him countless times, but he
just doesn’t understand. I—"Before Kathleen could finish her words, Christopher placed a slender
finger on her red lips. He smiled as he responded, “You don't have to explain. Even if you take
advantage of me or treat me as a pawn, I'm willing to put up with it for you."Kathleen's ears flushed
red when she heard him.”Don’t worry. I won't misunderstand,” Christopher reassured once more.
“Would you like me to wait for you so we could go home together?"“There’s no need for that.”
Kathleen shook her head and continued, “I have to film the show for fifteen days. During this time,
I'll be staying in the mansion provided by the production team.”Hearing that, Christopher nodded.
“In that case, I'll go home and watch the live stream.”He would see her through the live
stream.Kathleen blinked. “Everyone is asleep at night. There's nothing to watch.”“But I will still watch
it,” Christopher said in a deep voice.Kathleen was dumbfounded.”You're tired. Go back home and
rest early.” Christopher lifted his hand and stroked her head gently. “If anything happens, send me a
message.”Okay.” Kathleen nodded in response before watching Christopher leave.Then, she turned
around and headed back to the restaurant.In the meantime, Kylie was back.She entered the
restaurant with a limp and was covered in dust However, everyone was completely exhausted from
the ordeal and slumped on the chairs with barely any energy leftKylie's eyes turned red as her
blood boiled. “I'm injured. Don't you all have anything to say to me?” she snapped.
