Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

Chapter 461 She Is Ignoring Me
Levi gazed at her quietly. “No, but I’m acquainted with the owner.”
The owner?
“Kate?” Just then, a middle-aged woman with a mature charm came out of the restaurant, immediately recognizing Kathleen.
Kathleen froze, an inexplicable sense of familiarity rising within her the moment her gaze fell on the middle-aged woman before
her eyes.
Mila gave her a faint smile. “My name is Mila Hunt. I’m a close friend of Wynnie. You used to love my cooking.”
Kathleen blinked a few times before responding, “Hello, Mdm. Hunt.”
“I had no idea you two knew each other, Mdm. Hunt.” Levi remained composed as he flashed a smile at Mila.
Glancing at him, Mila asked indifferently, “Mr. Levi, what are you doing here again?”
“Mdm. Hunt, I’m here to—”
“You’ve just had lunch here earlier, Mr. Levi. You shouldn’t come here again for dinner,” said Mila tonelessly.
Levi immediately turned to look at Kathleen.
Despite not fully understanding the conflict between Levi and Mila, Kathleen knew that this was her cue to step in.
Clearing her throat, she explained, “Mdm. Hunt, Levi is my friend. He came to Jadeborough on a business trip and dropped by to
visit me. I was hoping to treat him to a meal, so...”
“Oh, I see. Come in, then!” Mila invited them in graciously the moment she heard Kathleen’s words.
Levi was overjoyed.
He had no idea Kathleen’s words and presence had such an effect.
Kathleen merely gazed at him speechlessly before following Mila into the restaurant.

“What would you and your children like to eat, Kate?” asked Mila with a smile after showing them to their seats.
“I have no idea.” Indeed, Kathleen had no plans, nor did she know what the signature dishes of the restaurant were.
“Allow me to decide for you guys, then.” Mila smiled kindly.
“I’d like to have Sizzle Steak.” Unlike Kathleen, Levi seemed to be very clear on what he would like to order.
Everyone turned their gaze toward him.
“That’s a limited-edition dish that you’ve already had earlier, so it’s only available for Kate and the kids now,” stated Mila bluntly.
“That’s fine, too. I just want them to try it,” Levi replied nonchalantly.
Kathleen knitted her brows.
Somehow, she felt that that was not Levi’s true intention, but she had no clue what he had up his sleeve.
“Please wait for a moment.” Mila flashed Kathleen a smile before she spun around and left.
Kathleen immediately turned to Levi and demanded in a stern tone, “What’s going on with you? Explain everything clearly, or I’m
leaving with the children!”
“Calm down. You’ll know in a second,” answered Levi with a sheepish expression on his face.
A moment later, a young woman clad in a chef’s uniform approached them with a serving cart.
The woman was probably about Kathleen’s age. Not only did she have fair skin and delicate features, but faint dimples would
appear on her cheeks when she smiled, too.
“Here it comes!” Levi became excited.
Kathleen turned to look at the woman.
Just then, Mila came toward them as well, walking alongside the woman.
Only then did Kathleen realize how strikingly the two women resembled each other.
“Kate, let me introduce you. This is our head chef.” Mila beamed.

Kathleen smiled faintly in response. “Hi, my name is Kathleen.”
She reached out her hand.
“I’m Queena Hunt.” The woman held out her hand as well.
Queena Hunt?
Kathleen shook hands with her. “Are you...”
“She’s my daughter,” Mila explained smilingly.
Realization dawned on Kathleen.
Oh, I see. No wonder they look so alike!
She shot Levi a sideways glance only to see that he was staring at Queena with a dazed look in his eyes.
Queena blushed slightly. “I’m about to make Sizzle Steak. First, I’m going to heat up this piece of lava stone here, and then I’m
going to place this marinated steak on it. In just two minutes, the steak would be ready to be served.”
As she spoke, she began heating up the lava stone.
Then she picked up the steak with a pair of tongs and placed it on the lava stone.
Sizzle!
A loud, crisp sizzling rang out the moment the beef was laid on the lava stone.
Desiree watched in fascination. “The steak is really cooked.”
“That’s right,” Queena affirmed with a smile.
Meanwhile, Levi was staring at Queena like an idiot while the latter did not even bother sparing him a glance.
Kathleen felt rather helpless.
It was not hard for her to work out that both Mila and Queena were equally irritated with him.
After Queena finished grilling the steaks, she served them to the guests.

“Please enjoy your meal.”
“Thank you,” Kathleen responded with gratitude.
“You’re welcome.” Queena smiled warmly. “Just let me know if you guys feel like having anything else.”
Kathleen nodded. “We will.”
With that, Queena left with her serving cart.
Mila glared at Levi wordlessly before turning to Kathleen. “Kate, I’ll leave you and your children to your meal while I serve the
other customers.”
“Okay, sure.” Kathleen nodded.
The moment Mila left their table, Kathleen looked sideways at Levi and snapped, “What was that all about?”
Seeing that Levi did not respond, she went on furiously, “Why do I feel as if you were using me? Explain yourself now!”
“Many things happened since we last met. Three months ago, I met Queena in Pollerton and fell in love at first sight,” explained
Levi quietly.
“And what about her?” Kathleen asked in a cold voice.
“She liked me as well, so we got together. Perhaps it was because I was too busy and didn’t spend much time with her, but by
the time I went back to see her again, she had returned to her country.”
Kathleen massaged her temples. “Then did you call her?”
“I did.” Levi nodded. “But she didn’t pick up. So, tell me. Why would she treat me like this?”
“It’s hard to know the answer to that just by listening to your side of the story. Perhaps you’d done something that offended her,”
stated Kathleen indifferently.
“But I didn’t.” Levi was genuinely baffled.
“All the same, why didn’t you just tell me about this earlier?” Kathleen was still mad at him.

“I’m sorry,” Levi apologized at once.
“There better not be a next time. You just made things extremely awkward for me,” Kathleen warned.
“All right.” Levi smiled sheepishly before a look of despair washed over his face. “But she’s totally ignoring me now.”
“Then you should try to talk to her nicely.”
“Talk to her?” Levi continued in a helpless tone, “How am I supposed to do that when she won’t even give me a chance to do
so?”
Kathleen furrowed her brows slightly. Looks like the problem is indeed quite serious!
“It’s Daddy!” Desiree exclaimed suddenly.
Kathleen turned around, immediately noticing Samuel and Ashley entering the restaurant and Mila going over to welcome them.
“And that evil woman is with him too. If Daddy marries that woman, then I’m really never going to bother about him again. I’m
being serious!” added Desiree in disappointment.
Kathleen retracted her gaze.
“Are you okay?” Levi asked in concern.
Kathleen nodded. “Yeah, I’m fine.”
Mila was Wynnie’s close friend.
Since Mila just opened a new restaurant, it was expected that Samuel would be visiting the place.
However, what Kathleen had not expected was that he would bring Ashley with him.
Similarly, it did not occur to Ashley that she would bump into Kathleen here either.
What surprised her even more was that Kathleen was accompanied by a man, who also happened to be very handsome and
charismatic.
“Looks like Kathleen’s been busy, Samuel. She found a new boyfriend soon enough,” Ashley remarked with a meaningful smile.
“They look like a loving couple, don’t they? Do you see how affectionately that man is looking at her?”

Of course, Samuel saw it all.
He did not know who the man was, but he had to admit that Ashley was certainly right.
That man indeed had a look of deep affection as he gazed at Kathleen.
Besides, Kathleen seemed to get along well with that man. They seemed to be quite close.
Who is that man?
