Chapter 194 Treat Her Well
“I guess it just feels right,” Kathleen replied calmly. “You know that there’s no need for a reason to like someone.”
Samuel’s jaw tightened as he remained silent.
“I’m going back.” Kathleen opened the car door.
Samuel quickly grabbed her wrist. “Are you dating him just to get rid of me? You can just tell me if I’m annoying you. I won’t disturb you anymore. But you don’t have to be with him.”
He felt extremely horrible.
“I’ve thought about this seriously, Samuel.” Kathleen looked at him. “Don’t you know my personality?”
She’s serious?
Samuel felt like his heart was being shredded to pieces.
His grip slowly loosened.
Kathleen got out of the car and walked away.
However, she had no idea why her heart was in so much turmoil when she saw how heartbroken Samuel was.
Why does it hurt so much?
Samuel stared at Kathleen’s back. Even breathing felt painful for him at that moment.
It was after Kathleen had entered the house did Samuel close the car door.
He locked himself inside the car and remained silent for a long time.
The next day, Caleb descended from a plane.
He was slightly surprised to see Samuel there. “Why are you here?”
“To send you off,” Samuel answered with a grave smile.
“To send me off?” Caleb frowned.
He had just gotten off the plane.
What does he mean?
Just as he spoke, he felt pain bloom across his face.
Samuel had hit him.
Caleb instantly retaliated.
It was then that he remembered Kathleen’s message from the night before.
“I’m sorry.”
That was all she wrote.
What did she do?
Everyone rushed over, wanting to pull Samuel and Caleb apart.
Alas, they were fighting so intensely that no one dared to get any closer.
They were afraid that they would end up getting dragged into their dispute.
After ten minutes, both men stopped.
Both of them seemed to have lost nearly all of their strength.
Samuel’s body condition was already bad, to begin with. Furthermore, he had used up all his strength to attack right from the start.
Caleb was also not in the right state. He had been feeling slightly feverish, but every move he made was equally as strong.
“I won’t forget this, Samuel.” Caleb touched his lips to find that there was blood on them.
Samuel wasn’t looking any better as well.
“Treat her well!” He glared at Caleb coldly.
With that, he turned around and left.
Caleb’s eyebrows furrowed.
Philip quickly walked up to him. “Are you okay, Mr. Lewis?”
Caleb nodded. “Don’t worry. I would’ve been crippled if that jerk was healthy.”
Of course, Samuel was thinking the same thing.
“Why did he punch you?” Philip asked in puzzlement.
“What else if not for a woman?” Caleb walked over to his car.
He took out his phone to call Kathleen, who was resting.
“I was beaten up.” Caleb didn’t bother to beat around the bush. “Come to the Lewis residence to see me after you finish work.”
“Aren’t you ashamed that you had been beaten up by a sick man?” Kathleen taunted him.
“Why don’t you think about the reason why I was punched,” Caleb answered in a cold voice. “What Do you like me?”
“Aren’t you pursuing me? Otherwise, why would you kidnap Nicolette out of the blue?” Kathleen replied with an equally aloof tone.
“Does that mean that I have a girlfriend now?” Caleb narrowed his eyes.
“You’re thinking too far ahead. I’m only accepting your courting. However, I still need more time to consider dating you.”
Consider?
Caleb snorted. “I think you’re just using me.”
“Would that matter if you genuinely like me?” Kathleen replied. “Unless you have some other motive?”
Caleb’s eyes narrowed even further. She’s really intuitive. How interesting.
“Fine. But I have something to say. This is my first time pursuing someone. You must tell me if there’s anything that I’m doing wrong. Don’t treat me like Samuel. I don’t like it when you keep things to yourself,” Caleb finally answered.
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
“All right. Time to put on an act.” Caleb then hung up.
Kathleen was speechless.
That man certainly was quick to get into action.
“What happened, Mr. Lewis? Why are you so happy?” Philip noticed that a smile had formed on Caleb’s face.
“Kathleen finally allowed me to pursue her,” Caleb replied. “Quick. Send me that saved article on 25 tips to pursue a girl.”
Philip looked at him, speechless. “When did I save such a thing?”
“I saw it,” Caleb replied curtly.
“Aren’t you going to reconsider this, Mr. Lewis?” Philip stared at him, trying to remain patient. “Think about it. She had shown no interest in you before this. Right now, she suddenly allowed you to pursue her. Moreover, she only agreed to your pursuit and not to officially be in a relationship with you. Shouldn’t you think about this?”
Something’s definitely wrong here!
“What’s there to think about? It doesn’t matter even if I’m being used,” Caleb answered indifferently. “I just want to see what she actually wants.”
“Don’t forget about Ms. Lewis,” Philip reminded him.
“I know.” Caleb frowned. “From today onward, we’ll definitely be the Macari family’s enemy. Tell everyone to be more careful in everything that they do. Samuel won’t let go of Kathleen this easily.”
“Yes, Mr. Lewis.” Philip nodded.
Caleb looked out the window while his thin lips pulled into a small smile.
Although he was being used, he was still feeling good for some reason.
Meanwhile, Samuel had been admitted into the hospital.
Caleb’s blows were pretty heavy.
As his body condition wasn’t good, it was obvious that he couldn’t withstand the beating.
Richard looked at Samuel, who was lying on the bed. “Do you think you’re 18? Don’t you know how bad your condition is right now?”
Samuel didn’t want to speak.
His entire body ached painfully.
“If you wanted to die so badly, you shouldn’t have come to the hospital!” Richard exclaimed in anger. “Why don’t you stay at home and wait for death instead?”
“Dr. Zimmer,” Tyson called out.
“You have no right to speak!” Richard glared at him. “You knew that he never cared about his health. Why didn’t you stop him from fighting?”
“Mr. Macari did it for Ms. Johnson, Dr. Zimmer. He started a fight with Caleb. How was I supposed to do anything?” Tyson said helplessly.
It was a matter regarding a man’s dignity.
“What do you mean?” Richard frowned.
“Ms. Johnson seemed to have decided to date Caleb.” Tyson emphasized the word “seemed.”
Richard paused before looking at Samuel. “Serves you right!”
Samuel remained silent.
He had been quiet ever since he entered the ward.
He didn’t want to speak as well.
Samuel had no other choice.
He couldn’t bring Kathleen back anymore.
Richard crossed his arms. “According to what I know, Caleb had never dated anyone before. He’s basically a virgin who fell in love with a divorced woman. Don’t you think that Kathleen would find such a man attractive?”
Tyson threw a pleading look at Richard.
Shut up!
However, Richard continued to speak, “Samuel, there’ll always be some things that you can never give Kathleen. For example, your first time falling for someone and your first hug. You gave those to another woman. Men had always cared about a woman’s virginity. Shouldn’t women do the same to men?”
