Chapter 448 Regret
“You!” Wynnie was livid. “We are talking to our son. What does this have to do with you?”
Ashley pursed her lips. “You need to think this through, Samuel. What if Kathleen doesn’t give her best effort after verbally promising to treat your legs? In that case, you’ll have to rely on a walking stick forever.”
Samuel’s left hand tightened around his walking stick.
Wynnie blocked Ashley from Samuel’s view and said to him, “No. Kathleen will never do that.”
Samuel wore an indifferent facial expression. “You tell me Kathleen is my fiancée, so why is she not here to meet with me?”
“She’s still mad at you. In order to search for you, she stayed in Smealand for three months. She turned so skinny when she came back. If she hated you, why would she remain there for so long?” Wynnie explained.
“Because those were all an act! She’s putting up a facade to others as if she’s looking for Samuel, but in fact, she did not try her best. Otherwise, how was it possible that she failed to find any clues?” Ashley said at once.
Wynnie glared at her. “No one will think you a fool if you don’t speak!”
“Mrs. Macari, you shouldn’t be biased toward Kathleen simply because she gave birth to your grandchildren. I almost forgot that you two sided with Kathleen when she divorced Samuel previously. You didn’t care the slightest for him,” Ashley added.
Wynnie furrowed her brows.
Samuel gazed at Wynnie and Calvin with a poker face. “You two should go back first.”
“Samuel! You must leave with me!” Wynnie was anxious.
Nothing good will happen from leaving him here with Ashley!
“I will not go back. Please leave, the two of you,” he said.
“Samuel, think carefully. Do not let her deceive you! You’ve never liked her!” Wynnie uttered in a state of agitation.
“But she saved me,” Samuel said solemnly.
Wynnie froze.
That’s right. Ashley saved Samuel. Although I do not want to admit this, I cannot ignore the existence of this relationship between Ashley and Samuel.
Calvin took out a piece of a business card. “This is my contact details. If you have any doubts or any needs, please feel free to contact me.”
“Okay.” Samuel received the business card.
A hint of malice flashed across Ashley’s eyes as she looked at the business card in Samuel’s hand.
Calvin tugged on Wynnie’s hand. “Let’s go.”
“Samuel, you better don’t do anything you’ll regret. Otherwise, you will hate yourself when you regain your memories,” Wynnie reminded.
Samuel remained silent.
Ashley immediately shut the door after Calvin dragged Wynnie out of the room.
She returned to Samuel’s side and said, “Samuel, are you hungry?”
He shook his head.
She stretched out her hand. “I’ll help you keep the business card.”
Samuel withdrew his hand. “Give me a phone.”
Ashley froze momentarily. “Samuel, I know you’re anxious, but at the moment, you require rest…”
“Give me a phone,” he demanded.
“Okay. I’ll instruct someone to prepare the phone.” Ashley nodded in resignation.
Calvin brought Wynnie outside.
“Darling, you shouldn’t have hit her earlier,” he said.
“I was angry. Ashley distorted the truth. Samuel lost his memories, and he’s in her debt after she rescued him. I’m afraid Samuel will trust her instead of us,” Wynnie uttered worryingly.
“Samuel knows what he’s doing. He merely lost his memories, not that he became a fool. There is so much evidence placed before his eyes. He will make sense of everything. We just need to give him more time,” Calvin comforted his wife.
She asked sorrowfully, “Why is Kate not coming to meet with him?”
“I suppose Kate is disheartened. However, she did mention that she will not refuse to meet with Samuel if he approaches her,” Calvin explained.
“That’s good. I wonder what happened between Samuel and Ashley.” Wynnie felt ill at ease.
“Don’t overthink the situation. I don’t think Samuel likes Ashley a lot. Perhaps he’s acting like this because Ashley saved his life.”
Wynnie nodded. “Probably.”
They went home after saying all that.
Kathleen went to visit her children at the Macari residence.
Samuel and Ashley’s engagement spread like wildfire after the news was released. Everyone knew, including Eilam and Desiree.
There was no way to hide that information from them.
Eilam was fine as he did not show his feelings.
His controlled and restrained personality was similar to Samuel’s.
Desiree, on the other hand, reacted differently.
She bawled and sniffled, seemingly pitiable.
Everyone doted on her, so the sight of her crying tugged at Wynnie’s heartstrings.
“Don’t cry, Desi.” Wynnie did not know how to console the little girl. “Your daddy will not marry that woman.”
Desiree continued weeping.
Kathleen wiped her tears. “Desi, can you please stop crying? Why don’t you think of it in this way? There will be one more person to care for you after your daddy gets married, right?”
Desiree was rendered speechless.
I’m not crying because I want you to comfort me with those words!
Wynnie felt helpless.
She could sense that Kathleen was actually infuriated.
“Kate, we went to see Samuel today. He lost his memories and hurt his leg. It was Ashley who saved him,” Wynnie said.
“Mrs. Macari, why did Ashley go to Smealand? And why was she so fortunate to stumble into Samuel there?” Kathleen replied nonchalantly.
Wynnie was stunned.
“If Samuel failed to consider this point, I don’t want to meet him anymore.” She wiped the tears off Desiree’s face. “Mrs. Macari, I wish to bring the kids back to stay with me. I am worried, looking at their current state.”
“Okay.” Wynnie nodded.
Kathleen left with the two kids after having their dinner.
In the car, Desiree, still wearing a long face, asked, “Mommy, will Daddy get married?”
“I think he will,” Kathleen replied calmly.
She felt exhausted.
“But I do not want Daddy to marry that woman.” Desiree frowned. “That woman is not a nice person! She snatched Daddy away from me!”
“Desi, you’ll understand this when you grow up. Not every married couple will stay together forever. Your daddy has the freedom to marry whoever he wants, just like you and your brother. When you two grow up in the future, you will have the liberty to marry anyone you like. Your daddy and I will not have the right to interfere in that matter,” Kathleen explained.
Despite what she said, Kathleen knew Desiree would fail to wrap her mind around the concept.
Desiree was about to say something else when Eilam stopped her. “Mommy is driving. We’ll discuss whatever you have in mind when we’re home.”
Only then did Desiree shut her mouth.
When they arrived home, Kathleen saw Charles’ car parked in the courtyard.
He’s here?
Charles had been very busy recently.
He was occupied by the search for Wyatt’s whereabouts.
However, he had yet to receive any news thus far.
Kathleen parked her car, helped the two kids get out of the vehicle, and entered the mansion.
“Eil, Desi.” Clarissa strode over from the living room.
Eilam and Desiree had met with Clarissa before. The three of them had a great time together.
“Eil, Desi, why don’t I play with you two upstairs?” she asked.
The two kids exchanged glances before following Clarissa up the stairs.
Kathleen knew Charles must have given her the order to do so.
