Chapter 246


    Chapter 246 Do You Agree If I Woo Him


    “Don’t worry about this sort of thing next time. Just leave it to me.” Samuel cracked a grin.


    ring daggers at him, Kathleen fumed, “Don’t you dare spout nonsense like this!”


    She had never once thought of reconciling with Samuel.


    I’ll never get back together with him!


    “What I mean is, I’ve always been sorting this out in your absence,” exined Samuel.


    Kathleen let out a light snort as soon as she heard it.


    She then followed her train of thought as she continued her feast. “The Brooks family resided so far


    away in Norham, so what does Yareli want with him to go all the way there?”


    Samuel gazed at her intently. “Maybe you can look at it from a different perspective. Sean may be the


    one who’s looking for her instead.”


    Kathleen was surprised as she looked Samuel in the eyes, only to find thetter’s darkened gaze.


    “But the Brooks family is a military family, so why would they require Yareli?” Kathleen had no clue


    whatsoever.


    Samuel reminded her, “Since they’re connected to the army, they could offer Yareli a wealth of aid. Yet,


    their foundation is in Jipsdale, so it’d be quite inconvenient for them to carry out whatever businesses


    they have in Jadeborough.”


    “You mean… Yareli is acting as their middlewoman?” Kathleen made a wild guess.


    Samuel nodded in response.


    Realization dawned upon Kathleen. “It’s impossible for the Brooks family to talk business with Yareli. It


    can only be something else, then.”


    “That’s right.” Samuel’s visage remained as calm as a millpond. “They have to be sharing some kind of


    top secret.”


    “What makes you say that?” Kathleen blinked her eyes at that.


    “Because… I’m also not so sure myself,” replied Samuel ever so leisurely. “If that’s something not to


    my knowledge, it can only be a secret.”


    “Samuel, why don’t you just admit that you don’t always have ess to every single piece of


    information under the sun?” Kathleen leered at him the whole time.


    Unconcerned, Samuel gave his feedback. “It’s not about me not admitting to it. But rather, I’ve known


    my limit a year ago when I searched high and low for you but ended up in vain. Other than that, nothing


    has ever been a stumbling block for me. As for this matter, I can only say that Yareli herself doesn’t


    know much as well. All she has been doing was running errands blindly for the Brooks family.”


    His words were like a bolt from the blue to Kathleen. She blurted out, “What? You mean, all this while,


    she has been doing their bidding without even asking? Interesting…”


    Samuel nced at her. “The Brooks family must have offered her an astronomical amount of benefits


    beyond our imagination.”


    With a soft tone, Kathleen asked, “Are you implying that Yareli may deal with me through the Brooks


    family’s hands?”


    Samuel inclined his head.


    “It’s okay because I, too, have backers!” proimed Kathleen. Not a hint of fear could be sensed


    coming from her.


    Samuel smirked. “It’s me, right?”


    That made Kathleen snort coldly. “Pfft! It’s not you.”


    A meaningful look shed across Samuel’s eyes on that note. “Who could it be, then?”


    “Do you have to ask? My brother, Charles!” Kathleen was all smiles. “Charles will always keep me from


    harm’s way.”


    Dubious, Samuel questioned her in a deep tone, “Are you certain? It’s the Brooks family we’re talking


    about.”


    “Hmph! So what? Could they be mightier than the heavens?” Wearing a disdainful countenance,


    Kathleen mocked him, “I know you’re terrified. What a pity. Because I’m not!”


    Narrowing his eyes to slits, Samuel shot her a frosty gaze. “Do I look like a scaredy-cat in the face of


    the Brooks family?”


    “Yes, you do.” Kathleen was so daring to get on Samuel’s nerves. “If not, why do you have that reticent


    look on your face?”


    Putting on an ice-cold mien, Samuel retorted, “It seems that you have no idea who I am…”


    “I know you’re Samuel Macari. Who else can you turn into?” Kathleen had her eyes fixated on him


    before adding, “Oh, right! You’re also Old Mrs. Macari’s grandson, Mrs. Macari’s son, some random


    woman’s future husband, and maybe your future kids’ dad. I don’t care—”


    As she rambled on and on, Samuel suddenly hushed her by locking his lips against hers.


    Kathleen was stunned on the spot.


    She then argued with him, “What are you doing? Didn’t you give me your word that you wouldn’t kiss


    me mindlessly? Plus, I’ve never given you my consent!”


    At that moment, Samuel’s eyes were filled with hostility. “Your consent isn’t needed this time around.”


    “You!” Kathleen hurled a murderous re at him. “What did you say? Why not?”


    “Because you’re hurting my pride.” Samuel sounded so stern with his statement.


    Hurting his pride?


    “Huh? Since when have I ever humiliated you? In what way?” Kathleen was baffled by Samuel’s words.


    Thetter pulled her chin closer toe face to face with her and stated, “First and foremost, it’s pretty


    ridiculous for you to presume that I’m inferior to the Brooks family. The Macari family has never bowed


    and will bow to no one.”


    Hearing his promation, Kathleen pressed her cherry-red lips together. “I just didn’t know better. No


    one told me.”


    “Hmph! You’ve lived with the Macari family long enough in the past and even married me. Don’t say


    you were a stranger to the Macari family.” Displeasure washed over Samuel’s face as he spoke.


    Kathleen said nothing.


    “Also, I’m rather upset by you saying that I’d be someone’s future husband or dad.” Samuel held her


    cheeks with his calloused palm and went on with a frigid tone, “I already mentioned I won’t remarry, so I


    can never be someone else’s husband nor dad, got it?”


    Kathleen pursed her lips, remaining silent.


    At that juncture, Samuel brushed his finger lightly across the corner of her mouth before putting his


    finger into his own mouth.


    Astounded, Kathleen froze there and then.


    That’s the leftover sandwich’s sauce!


    In a matter of seconds, Kathleen’s ears were flushed as red as a tomato.


    What a filthy pervert!


    Inexplicable emotions inundated Samuel’s face as he side-eyed Kathleen.


    Thetter quickly straightened her back and faced to the front while putting the piece of sandwich in her


    mouth, munching the whole time.


    Samuel couldn’t help but grin at that.


    She’s so adorable.


    Eventually, they arrived at the hotel.


    “We’re here,” announced Samuel nonchntly.


    Only did Kathleen regainposure the second she heard his voice. She turned to look out the car


    window. We’re here already?


    Hanging her head low, she found that she had only managed to finish half of the sandwich. Without a


    second thought, she stuffed the remaining sandwich into Samuel’s hands. “Why did you prepare so


    much food? I’m not a pig, okay? It’s impossible to finish them!”


    Samuel smiled faintly. “I’ll finish it for you.”


    “Don’t you think you’re a bit unhygienic?” Kathleen finished thest mouthful of her drink as she spoke.


    “Does it suit your liking?” Samuel gazed deep into Kathleen’s eyes.


    Kathleen, in turn, cast a nce at him before nodding.


    Letting out a cackle, Samuel said, “I’ll whip up the same for you tomorrow.”


    Kathleen let out a snicker and uttered, “I want to see Finn.”


    “I’ve already arranged that for you. I’lle to pick you up once you’re done with filming,” suggested


    Samuel with a half-smile.


    “Mm.” Kathleen nodded softly and bade goodbye. “I’m off.”


    She opened the car door and spun on her heels.


    Samuel watched her enter the hotel, his lips curling upward into a smirk.


    She’s really so delicate and sweet.


    Turning his gaze over to the half-finished sandwich in his hands, Samuel took a bite before instructing


    the driver, “Let’s go.”


    The driver nodded.


    With that, the car drove off.


    Soon after, Kathleen was back in the hotel room.


    The stylist had been waiting for her.


    After putting on her makeup, Kathleen joined the film crew on set.


    By noon, there was a heated discussion among the crew.


    “Who’s that woman who visits Timothy on set? Doesn’t she look gorgeous?”


    “Indeed. She’s so stunning that she has what it takes to be a celebrity. Besides, she seems very


    intimate with Timothy.”


    “Don’t you know she’s Yareli from the Yoeger family?”


    “What? That Yareli? Are you kidding me?”


    “It’s true! I heard Timothy calling her name just now.”


    “Wait… Kathleen is also from the Yoegers. Let’s sit back and wait for their drama to unfold!”


    “Uh… I don’t think Kathleen counts as one of the Yoegers because her mom isn’t the biological


    daughter of Old Mr. Yoeger. Better still, Yareli’s mom isn’t Old Mrs. Yoeger’s biological child either. That


    means both of them are only cousins.”


    “Shh… Yareli’s here.”


    Meanwhile, Kathleen was sitting on a bench, waiting to shoot her scene.

    Just then, a silhouette dawned upon her from right above.


    With a chilling voice, Kathleen piped up, “Tsk. Move aside, please. You’re blocking my view.”


    Flying off the handle, Yareli crossed her arms and raised a question with an icy tone. “Say, Kathleen,


    do you think I should woo Samuel?”
