Chapter 353


    Chapter 353 Manipted


    After breakfast, Kathleen began to browse the web. She wanted to buy a piano for the children. Desi


    sat next to her.


    “Mommy, can you not buy a piano?” Hearing that, Kathleen looked at her in surprise. Desi stretched out


    her little hand and exined,


    “Every time I y the piano, I feel as if my fingers are about to break.” Hearing that, Kathleen smiled.


    “Then let’s buy it for Eil. He has long arms.” Eil, who was sitting by the side and reading a book, was


    speechless. Gemma looked at him sympathetically.


    “Okay!” Desi strongly agreed. Kathleen said with a smile, “I heard that practicing the piano can make


    your arms grow longer, and your body will also grow taller. In the future, Eil will grow up to be as tall as


    Daddy, but you will still be this short. When the timees, Eil will make fun of you for it.”


    Blinking, Desi asked, “ying the piano makes a person taller?”


    “You see how Eil is taller than you? It’s because he practices the piano more than you do, and he


    takes it more seriously,” Kathleen said with a smile. Desi could not sit still anymore.


    “Mommy, hurry up and buy it! Let’s buy this white one! This ck one is also fine. Just buy one and let


    them send it here!” If I don’t start now, I’ll never grow taller.


    Eil heaved a sigh. She’s so easy to be manipted. At ten o’clock in the morning, two elderlydies


    came to the house. One of them was Amelia Gardner, and the other was M Hunt. They were both in


    their forties, and they looked like honest people.


    After all, they had been carefully selected by Samuel. Kathleen said to them, “I don’t have any other


    requests. Your main task is to help me take care of my two children.” Amelia and M nodded.


    “Noted, Ms. Johnson.” “Also, I don’t like people who gossip,” added Kathleenzily.


    “Yes.” The two nodded again.


    “There is nothing else. The rest of the things are up to you guys,” Kathleen said tly. With that, Amelia


    and M went to the room to drop off their luggage.


    Then, they started to familiarize themselves with the environment. Truthfully, beforeing here,


    Samuel had already informed them beforehand, so they knew the rules. It was a bright and sunny day.


    Kathleen took the children to y on the field of grass. She and Gemma sat under the parasol, having


    coffee.


    “Are you and Richard going to get married?” Kathleen asked out of the blue, curious. Gemma blinked,


    with a shy look on her face.


    “Maybe.”


    “You don’t seem to be very sure,” Kathleenmented, astonished. Letting out a sigh, Gemma


    responded, “It’s my brother. He doesn’t like Richard. You know he’s a policeman, so he’s always


    suspicious, and Richard has a lot of reallyplicated things.”


    “Howplicated?” Kathleen was curious.


    “It’s that he…” Gemma trailed off.


    “Actually, I don’t know how to put it into words, but I think he’s fine.”


    “You can think of it this way. If he really has a problem, your brother would have already caught solid


    evidence by now,” Kathleen exined. Gemma said helplessly, “I think so, too. I know my brother is


    worried, but…”


    Taking Gemma’s hand into hers, Kathleen stered a soft smile. “You don’t have to worry too much,


    because your brother loves you very much. If you really want to marry Richard, he will never stop you.


    If Richard really wants to spend his life with you, he will have to face the pressure from your brother.


    Who knows, maybe they’ve alreadye to terms with each other.”


    “Would that actually happen?”


    Gemma was curious. Kathleen nodded and smiled gently.


    “If you don’t believe me, you can call and ask.”


    “No need. I believe you.” Gemma smiled, making Kathleen chuckle. She then looked at the two


    children, tenderness painted on her delicate face. Later that evening, Gemma was going to work the


    night shift, so she left first. Richard came to pick her up. As they left, the two conversed andughed,


    looking like a sweet couple. Just then, when Kathleen was ready to go back, Samuel arrived in his car.


    Why is he here again?


    “Daddy!” Desi rushed out of the mansion immediately. Getting out of the car, Samuel squatted down


    and hugged her. Looking at the father and daughter duo, Kathleen breathed out a sigh. It seems like


    Desi is extremely fond of Samuel. Well, it’s no wonder, though, considering he raised her since she


    was a baby. In contrast to his sister, Eil seemed reserved.


    “Hello, Daddy,” he called. Despite that, he was looking at Samuel with deep admiration.


    “Yeah.” Samuel nodded. Letting go of Desi, he got to his feet.


    “I’ll leave after seeing them,” he uttered, looking at Kathleen.


    “They had always been with me, so I’d feel a bit empty if I don’t see them at home.” Kathleen nodded.


    “Oh, well, you’ve seen them already.”


    “Yeah, I’ll go back right now.” Samuel’s gaze stayed on her face. Had it been the Kathleen who still had


    her memory, he would be invited in, but he knew, as of now, she would not.


    “I’ll be heading inside, then,” Kathleen turned around. Samuel stared at her back, and his heart ached.


    He knew that the former Kathleen loved him, even if she was hurt by him before. The Kathleen now


    had no feelings for him at all. Samuel would have panicked in the past, and he would have desperately


    made sure Kathleen still had him in her heart.


    However, right now, all he had in his heart was pain, as he no longer need to make sure because


    Kathleen did not love him anymore. Even if he acted pitifully and yed some tricks, Kathleen would


    not be soft-hearted. Samuel stood outside for a while longer. Afraid that Kathleen would find him


    burdensome, he left. Pondering for a moment, he decided to go to a bar.


    The man was born with a strong aura. That was why he would be noticed wherever he went. Once he


    stepped foot into the bar, many people already had their eyes on him. Some women were bold enough


    to approach him to strike a conversation. However, a few servers stopped them.


    “I advise you not to go near him. You all know who that man is. If you really dare approach him, you’ll


    be chased out of Jadeborough and never return.” Those women were some influencers and celebrities.


    If they were really kicked out of Jadeborough, they would beughed at. Even so, there were also


    some courageous ones. A woman walked over with a charming smile on her face.


    “Hello, Mr. Macari, I’m Lillian. Have you seen any of my work?” Samuel ignored her. He was drinking


    brandy, but he did not dare to drink much. It was because he knew that he had poor health, but he stillN?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    wanted to numb himself with alcohol. Hearing the woman’s voice, he felt annoyed. As he did not reply,


    Lilian continued, “My new film is being broadcast right now. Although I’m the fourth female lead, it


    happens to have my part today. If you’re interested, how about we find a hotel and watch it together?”


    Samuel held the winess and put it in front of her. Lillian was stunned for a moment, and then she


    said excitedly, “Mr. Macari, are you asking me to drink it? I really—”


    “Eat the ss,” Samuel interrupted coldly. “I’ll go with you once you manage to do it.”


    Hearing that, Lillian froze. “How can I eat ss?” Samuel’s eyes were icy cold.


    “Exactly, yet you still think that you’re worthy of me? You’ve overestimated yourself.” Lillian was


    stunned. At that moment, Tyson walked in from outside.


    “Mr. Macari, I have some news for you.” Looking at him, Samuel ordered, “Get this woman out of


    Jadeborough.”
