“Y-You shameless man!” Wynnie’s face instantly flushed red.
“You’ve always wanted to be the queen in bed. I’m here to satisfy your needs.” Calvin laughed wickedly.
Wynnie refused to talk to Calvin after that.
He is a filthy pervert!
Looking at how embarrassed Wynnie was, Calvin laughed out loud.
That’s Wynnie. She may look like a mature and steady woman on the outside, but deep down, she also has a shy and embarrassed side.
Calvin hugged her and kissed her cheek. In a low voice, he said, “Breaking news. Aaron urged Emily to be nice to Kate. They want to have Kate as their daughter-in-law.”
“How do you know that?” Wynnie frowned.
“Knowing one’s strengths and the enemy’s is the sure way to victory. This is my strategy,” he said.
Her brows furrowed deeper. “You have a snitch in the Morris family?”
Calvin merely smiled and said nothing.
Wynnie was rendered speechless.
This man is full of schemes.
Meanwhile, Samuel drove back to his mansion.
Upon entering the room, he looked at the balcony opposite of his place.
He saw the light was still on.
Without turning the light on in his room, he lay on the bed and texted Kathleen.
He texted: Are you still angry?
Kathleen replied: I’m not a petty woman. However, from now onward, I will avoid you.
Samuel texted: We are partners. How are you going to avoid me?
Kathleen replied: We can communicate via phone without having to meet each other.
Samuel: Aren’t you afraid your phone might be tapped? It is possible if the Morris family and the Corbyn family refuse to give up.
Kathleen pursed her lip before she replied: There must be a third person at the scene if we meet.
Samuel: Sure. As long as the person is not Husky.
Kathleen: Don’t you dare insult Charles!
Samuel: He even reprimanded me, your ex-husband.
Kathleen: Serves you right! You deserve it!
Samuel’s mind was imagining Kathleen’s angry face when he glimpsed the words on the phone screen.
She is always so lively and energetic. What a pretty and adorable woman.
Samuel: Sure. Serves me right. I deserve it.
Kathleen did not feel like entertaining him anymore.
This man is shameless.
Samuel: I will be editing the blueprint for Flobury tomorrow. Do you want to come and have a look?
Kathleen: No. I have a shooting session tomorrow.
Samuel: I can send it over to you.
Kathleen: You can ask Tyson to send it.
Samuel: He went to Smealand to dig up some potatoes.
Kathleen was at a loss for words.
Kathleen: Is there no one else in your company who can send it over?
Samuel: They don’t have the right to speak to the best actress. Only I can do that.
Again, Kathleen was rendered speechless.
Samuel: My dad told me something today.
Kathleen: I’m not interested.
Samuel: He wanted me to look for another woman to trigger you.
Kathleen’s lip twitched a little.
Calvin is indeed his father. How thoughtful he is for his son.
Samuel: However, I promised not to lie to you again, so I turned him down.
Kathleen did not respond to his text.
Samuel texted: If a woman appears out of nowhere, that must be my father’s arrangement. You better not accuse me of that.
Kathleen still did not reply to his message.
In the meantime, he noticed the opposite light was off now.
Is she asleep?
Samuel sent another text: Good night.
He put down his phone. Although the heater was on in the dark room, he could not feel the warmth.
The winter Kathleen left me was pure suffering. Since she’s back now, I don’t have to force her to be with me. As long as she’s there, and I can see her, it will be fine.
Samuel woke up in the morning and realized he remained in the same position he fell asleep last night.
He sat up in bed and felt a little dizzy.
As a bout of coughing wracked his body, he noticed he had a fever again.
The self-inflicted injury a year ago had made his body constitution worse than ever before.
He took some medicine before going for a shower.
While Samuel was showering, he stood in front of the mirror and fixed his dark gaze on the long scar on his body.
Due to the physical pain back then, he realized that true agony was when he lost Kathleen. Everything else paled in comparison.
After the hot shower, he changed into clothes that could keep him warm.
Samuel wore a black knitted turtleneck on the inside with a white shirt over it. On the outside, he wore a long cashmere coat with a suit collar.
His lower body was clad in a pair of ironed pants and boots.
His outfit was clean and smart, lending him the air of an elite.
Samuel walked downstairs and left without taking his breakfast.
Coincidentally, he met Kathleen, who was heading out at the same time.
His lips curled slightly when he saw her.
Kathleen turned her head around and got into a car.
Soon after that, the car drove off.
Samuel went into a Maybach and followed behind.
Kathleen felt restless the moment she reached the film set.
After she quickly recomposed herself, she was able to focus on her shoot again.
Soon, the scenes were all done for the morning session.
Suddenly, Kathleen questioned Valerie, “Are we expecting someone later today?”
“Who is that going to be?” Valerie was puzzled.
Kathleen pursed her lips. “Never mind.”
Valerie did not get what Kathleen was trying to say.
Everyone took a break at noon and continued shooting in the afternoon.
Once in a while, Kathleen would glance around.
Curious, Valerie asked, “Kate, are you looking for anyone in particular?”
“I’m trying to see if there are any fans here today,” she responded in embarrassment.
Valerie smiled. “If fans wanted to come and visit you, they would have to discuss and get approval from the manager and the film crew first. They can’t just come here as they wish.”
Hearing that, Kathleen nodded.
“Kate, it’s your turn to shoot now.” Valerie removed the down jacket from Kathleen’s shoulders.
Kathleen then approached the set to continue her scenes.
The shooting ended at seven o’clock in the evening.
After Kathleen changed her clothes, she returned to the car.
She massaged her temples as she felt uneasy.
However, she could not tell why she was feeling that way.
The driver sent her back to her place a moment later.
The moment she got off the car, she noticed Tyson walking out of the mansion while carrying something in his hands.
“Tyson, what do you have in your hands?” Kathleen approached with her brows furrowed.
“It’s Mr. Macari’s clothes,” he replied.
“Is he not coming back tonight?” Kathleen was confused.
“He’s been admitted to the hospital,” Tyson remarked.
Admitted to the hospital?
With a frown, she asked, “Why was he admitted to the hospital all of a sudden?”
“He got a fever,” he said.
Fever?
“Samuel had gastritis last time, and now he’s having a fever. Is his body’s condition that bad?” Kathleen frowned.
“Ever since you left him, his constitution has never been good. I thought you knew about it, Ms. Johnson,” he said awkwardly.
“You thought I knew?” Kathleen was confused.
What do I know?
“Please don’t tell anyone in the family, Ms. Johnson. Mr. Macari didn’t want them to worry about him. He didn’t want me to tell you too, but I can’t hold it in anymore. That’s why I’m telling you now,” Tyson remarked.
Kathleen responded with a nod.
Tyson felt embarrassed. “I will get going now. Goodbye, Ms. Johnson.”
“Sure. See you around.” Kathleen nodded.
Tyson got into the car and drove away.
Kathleen turned around and returned to her house.
Charles put away the tablet in his hands. “Oh, you’re back? Sit down, and we will have dinner.”
Kathleen walked to the kitchen and looked at the dishes on the table. She ordered, “Maria, please prepare some oatmeal and two simple dishes.”
“What’s with the sudden urge to eat a lighter meal? We can have our dinner later then.” Charles sat over.
“It’s not that. I want to send the food to Samuel,” she explained.
Her words rendered Charles speechless.
Maria approached and asked, “Is oatmeal all right, Ms. Johnson?”
“Yeah. I gave you a pack of assorted medicinal herbs before, right? Put that in and cook it together with the oatmeal. Those herbs are not toxic in any way, so anyone can take them without a problem,” Kathleen instructed.
