Divorce Anxiety Chapter 468

Chapter 468 Please Stay

Kathleen cast him a frosty gaze. “While Ashley has plotted many schemes, I’d still like to congratulate you, Samuel. You’re going to become a dad.”

Samuel frowned. “What did you say?”

What does she mean, I’m becoming a dad?

“Ashley’s pregnant. Congratulations, once again.” Kathleen smiled. Then, her gaze darkened, and she turned around to leave.

Pregnant?

Samuel wanted to stop her and make her explain herself.

Alas, Kathleen left without looking back.

Samuel side-eyed Ashley. “I never touched you. How did you get pregnant?”

Ashley’s eyes darted around the room, looking extremely uneasy. “I… Samuel, I really love you. I didn’t want Kathleen to keep pestering you, so I lied to her.”

Bang!

Samuel slammed his hand on the table, his eyes bloodshot. “Do you have a death wish?”

After saying that, he turned on his heel and walked away.

“Samuel!” Ashley cried. “Did you even lose your memory?”

Samuel glared at her coldly. “Yes.”

Ashley questioned furiously, “Then, why do you still like her? I took care of you for three months. Were you not moved by my actions during that period? Not even the slightest bit?”

Samuel’s expression remained frosty. “Are you worthy?”

Ashley was stumped.

“I was not attracted to you the moment you stopped me from seeing my family. Only a guilty person would stop someone from doing so,” the man stated aloofly.

Ashley stared at him, stunned.

She only wanted to wait till their relationship stabilized before letting Samuel meet other people. Never did she expect to have shot herself in the foot.

“I’ll take this scheme you’ve plotted as a repayment for the time you saved me from being kidnapped. We’re even now. I don’t owe you anything.” Samuel’s voice was cold.

He left after he spoke.

Tears fell from Ashley’s eyes as she watched him leave. Her plan failed.

D*mn it! My plan would’ve been perfect if Kathleen didn’t cause a disruption.

Samuel exited the building where the engagement ceremony was held and got into the car. “Where did Kathleen go?” he asked.

“No idea.” The driver shook his head.

“Drive!” Samuel took out his phone to call Tyson. “Find out where Kathleen has gone!”

“Mr. Macari, Mrs. Macari is on the way to the airport now. Mr. Eil and Ms. Desi are already there waiting for her,” Tyson said awkwardly.

Samuel’s gaze darkened. What? She’s leaving? How could she abandon me like that?

“Drive faster!” he ordered.

“Got it!” The driver immediately hit the gas pedal.

Meanwhile, at the airport, Kathleen held Desiree’s hand and slowly walked toward the boarding gate.

“Mommy, where are we going?” the little girl asked curiously.

She had never left the country before.

“Pollerton. I want to let you and Eil see the place. I have a huge winery there. It’s just like a castle,” Kathleen answered gently.

“You have a castle, so that means you’re a queen. Does that mean I’m a princess?” Desiree asked excitedly.

Kathleen beamed. “You’re still a princess, even if I’m not a queen.”

Desiree chuckled at her words. Suddenly, she asked solemnly, “Mommy, will we come back?”

Kathleen merely held her hand without giving an answer.

By that time, Levi and Eilam had passed through the gate.

Kathleen and Desiree were next.

The moment Kathleen handed the two flight tickets to the flight attendant, Samuel’s husky voice could be heard from their backs. “Kate!”

Desiree turned around and exclaimed, “Mommy, it’s Daddy!”

Kathleen pursed her lips but did not turn back.

“Kate, I…” Samuel cleared his throat. “I’m sorry. I’ve never done anything with Ashley. Even if she’s pregnant, that child isn’t mine. I never wanted to be engaged to her. I just hoped you still cared for me, even if it’s just a little.”

Kathleen took a deep breath. Still, she did not turn around.

“Kate, I expect nothing else. Don’t go, please?” Samuel choked.

Everyone in the airport was watching them.

They knew who Kathleen and Samuel were.

Samuel fixed his eyes on her slender figure. “Don’t go,” he urged once more.

To his dismay, Kathleen looked at the flight attendant. “Are you done examining the documents?”

The flight attendant answered awkwardly, “Yes.”

Hearing that, Kathleen took the tickets from the flight attendant and entered the gate while pulling Desiree’s hand.

Samuel’s heart tensed up as he watched Kathleen leaving mercilessly.

His forehead was drenched in sweat.

Suddenly, his vision darkened, and he slumped to the ground.

Tyson rushed over and carried Samuel to the hospital.

The next day, Kathleen, who was already in Pollerton, tucked the children into bed before giving Rory a call.

“Tyson took Marjory away. Apparently, the Macari family wants to investigate this matter. Ashley will be done for once Marjory mentions her name,” Rory answered grimly.

“I see. Let them take her away, then,” Kathleen responded flatly.

“And that man, Ronald, I heard Trevor abandoned him. Ronald says Trevor’s the mastermind, and the latter made him frame you. However, he has no proof. Everyone here doesn’t really believe him,” Rory added.

“He’s just a pawn. This outcome is already his punishment. We can forget about him already,” Kathleen remarked coldly.

“One more thing…” Rory sounded hesitant. “Dr. Johnson, Samuel fainted the day you left. Tyson has sent him to the hospital. He finally regained consciousness this morning.”

Kathleen’s heart clenched at the news. “Is he okay?”

“I think so.” Rory paused and asked, “Do you want to know the details? I can find them out for you.”

Kathleen shook her head. “It’s fine. Rory, I don’t know when I’ll be going back. I’m afraid I’ll need you to manage the company’s matters on my behalf.”

“Of course.” Rory nodded.

With that, Kathleen hung up.

“Mommy, look! Ms. Gem made this wreath for me!” Desiree came running over while holding Gemma’s hand.

The castle was surrounded by countless flowerbeds, which had flowers planted in them. As it was summer, many flowers bloomed, decorating the place with pretty colors.

When Gemma was rescued, Kathleen instructed Yadiel to secretly bring her here to recuperate. After all, it was quiet and had a great view. It was the perfect place for recuperation.

Yadiel, Rory, and Benjamin were the only ones who knew Gemma was still alive.

Kathleen did not tell many people about the news. Naturally, Desiree and Eilam knew about it now.

However, Kathleen constantly reminded them to not tell anyone about it.

“It’s so pretty.” Kathleen patted Desiree’s head.

Satisfied with her mother’s reaction, Desiree said, “I’m going to show it to Eil!”

With that, she ran to Eilam’s room.

Gemma eyed Kathleen wordlessly. Finally, the former asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”

Shaking her head, Kathleen answered, “I’m fine. What about you? How do you feel? Do you feel any changes in your mood?”

“Yes.” Gemma nodded. “I feel much calmer. Kate, I never knew I could be so at peace in a quiet place like this.”

“Are you ready to face Richard now?” Kathleen asked curiously.
