Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

Chapter 432 Quarrel
Kathleen took out her phone and called Rory, “I want you to find out about all of the Hoover family’s businesses.”
“Okay.” Rory nodded. “I’m on it.”
Kathleen hung up after that and headed to Samuel’s lounge.
She pushed the door, only to realize that it had been locked from the inside.
The two bodyguards standing by the door were surprised as well.
“Step back, Mrs. Macari,” one said as he pulled her back.
He was about to kick the door down when it swung open.
Ashley stood there, looking rather shy. “The interview’s over.”
She walked away after that.
Kathleen frowned.
When Ashley walked past her just now, Kathleen noticed the smirk on that woman’s face, and Kathleen didn’t like it one bit.
She then strode into the room.
Samuel was sitting silently on the couch.
“Are you... all right?” Kathleen faltered.
He glanced at her. “I’m fine.”
“Why did you lock the door?” she asked.
It’s supposed to be an interview.
“She did that,” he clarified. “I did nothing of the sort.”

It was true that Ashley merely locked the door, but he knew that Kathleen would misunderstand.
Kathleen knitted her brows. “What did she say?”
Samuel shook his head.
Ashley did not bring up the past at all.
Kathleen seemed to have something to say, but she hesitated.
Whatever. In the end, she’s the one who saved him. If I say something that might cross the line, Samuel surely wouldn’t like it.
In the end, Kathleen said plainly, “If that’s all, let’s go.”
Staring at her face, he remarked, “You care about what happened just now.”
Kathleen shook her head. “No.”
Samuel rose to his feet and walked toward her while she stood rooted to the ground.
If this were In the past, her legs would have given out.
Right now, she was very calm.
“What’s up with you?” She broke the silence.
Samuel said with a deep voice, “I still prefer how you used to fire questions at me aggressively. What are you afraid of? Is there
anything you don’t dare to say?”
Kathleen pursed her lips.
“Just because she’s my savior, you intend to turn a blind eye to her scheming?” Samuel questioned coldly. “You are still my wife
after all.”
“Nonsense. We’re divorced,” Kathleen corrected him. “At most, we can be considered boyfriend and girlfriend, and some couples
break up because one party interferes too much.”
Samuel continued to gaze at her.

He knew this wasn’t what she truly felt.
In fact, he wouldn’t mind at all if Kathleen voiced her suspicions because he would have done the same.
Ashley’s words and actions were certainly odd.
“We won’t break up.” Samuel placed her hand on his chest. “What do you want me to say to make you understand that you can
do whatever you want when you’re by my side?”
He had sworn that he would love her and dote on her even more than before, no matter what.
Kathleen responded, “We won’t break up because we’ve both matured.”
Samuel was quiet for a while.
“You don’t care about me,” he muttered in a deep voice. “You’re not aware of the dangers around you!”
Kathleen was rendered speechless.
Looking at Kathleen’s delicate and soft face, Samuel adjusted his emotions and took a deep breath. “Let’s go back.”
He reached out to grab his jacket.
Kathleen hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mr. Macari, I just can’t love you the way I used to.”
Samuel froze.
“I think we should reconsider our relationship.” Kathleen felt a headache coming. “I’m heading to the office.”
With that said, she turned to leave.
Instantly, Samuel’s obsidian-like eyes dimmed.
Kathleen arrived at her company, Golden Wing Pharmaceuticals.
The company should have done the ribbon-cutting ceremony some time ago, but they had so many things going on that they
kept delaying it.
Regardless, the company had finally begun to operate properly, and the business was doing well.

Kathleen sat alone in her office, spacing out.
Yadiel came in and greeted, “Ms. Johnson!”
Kathleen lifted her head. “You’re back.”
Yadiel nodded. “Ms. Johnson, I apologize. Yareli fled right after the plane landed. I’ve been searching for her for days and still
couldn’t find any clues.”
“She’s returned,” Kathleen said flatly. “Dorothy called Zion, who caught Yareli’s voice over the phone.”
“She’s actually come back!” Yadiel expressed his surprise.
“She must have come back to exact revenge,” Kathleen surmised. “She must be thinking that if we hadn’t forced Vanessa to call
out Luna, Vanessa wouldn’t have died.”
“But it’s obvious that Luna’s the one who wanted Vanessa dead.” Yadiel knitted his brows.
“She is blinded by hatred,” Kathleen uttered in exasperation. “Yadiel, I want you to investigate Ashley Zeller for me.”
“Ashley Zeller?” It was the first time Yadiel heard of that name.
“Yes. She’s Luna’s niece. She’s the one who saved Samuel when he was kidnapped while he was a kid,” Kathleen explained.
“Samuel said that the girl who saved him then had passed away, but recently, he got wind of the news that the girl was Ashley.”
“Got it. Ms. Johnson, you’re suspicious of the relationship between Luna and Ashley, aren’t you?” Yadiel summarized, to which
Kathleen nodded firmly.
Yadiel understands me after all, but Samuel doesn’t! This is ridiculous!
“Sure, I shall investigate,” replied Yadiel.
Kathleen waved her hand. “I’m going to take a break.”
Stunned, Yadiel muttered, “Ms. Johnson, aren’t you meeting Mr. Macari?”
“Why would I do that? We just had a quarrel,” Kathleen said in frustration.

“I saw Mr. Macari downstairs,” Yadiel went on. “Didn’t anyone notify you?”
Kathleen shook her head. “Nope.”
“You ought to take a look,” Yadiel suggested. “He’s in the lobby.”
Kathleen stood up for a second before sitting back down. “Let him wait.”
It was high time he did so.
Yadiel didn’t want to interfere in their matter, so he turned around and left.
After that, Kathleen picked up her phone and looked at it. Samuel didn’t even send her any messages.
In that case, I shall pretend I don’t know anything.
When it was time to get off work, the company’s employees passed by the lobby, and all of them noticed Samuel.
He sat there in his elegant black suit, emanating an air of austerity.
“Mr. Macari’s so handsome!”
“Ms. Johnson’s so lucky! If I have a handsome boyfriend like that picking me up from work, I’d be jumping for joy!”
“Dream on! You don’t even have a boyfriend, let alone a handsome one!”
Samuel sat there on the couch, looking straight at the elevators.
He would be able to see the exact moment Kathleen stepped out of the elevator.
Very soon, Kathleen appeared among the crowd.
She also spotted Samuel, clenched her fingers tightly, and pretended not to have seen him.
With that, she kept her head low as she walked ahead.
Eventually, a “wall” blocked her way.
A pair of shiny leather shoes entered her sight. Her eyes worked their way up until they eventually met Samuel’s deep gaze.
Frowning, Kathleen spoke. “Have you calmed down?”

It was then that Samuel wrapped his arms around her right in the middle of the bustling lobby.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
What’s this about?
“Samuel, let go this instant! Everyone’s watching!” Kathleen yelled at him, blushing hard.
Samuel did as he was told, and Kathleen looked around her.
Everyone else quickly pretended to be fascinated by the view of the sky.
Someone even said, “Look, a UFO!”
Kathleen was rendered speechless.
When she came back to her senses, Samuel had slowly got down on one knee.
The crowd gasped.
This is it!
