Chapter 391


    Chapter 391 They Look Like A Family


    Kathleen sighed ruefully.


    “I lost my memories.” She had forgotten about the people and memories from her past, so Ryder’s


    words puzzled her. He gave a thoughtful smile.


    “Being constrained by memories isn’t a good thing.People change; you may dislike something you liked


    when you were younger, right?” She returned his smile.


    “That makes sense, but sometimes changes can be difficult.” “Unless you have recovered your


    memories.” His smile turned sly.


    “Are you trying to probe if my memories have returned?” Kathleen chuckled. He froze.


    “Save your time.I don''t remember anything yet.”


    She gave a wan smile.


    “Do you think this is a God-given opportunity to reincarnate? You have a clean te and a new


    beginning, so you''re not bound by past emotions.” She barked augh, and he closed his hand over


    hers.


    “I like you.Do you feel the same for me?” She was going to answer him when she heard Desiree’s


    voice from behind her.


    “Mommy!”


    The little girl''s voice shook when she saw Kathleen. Kathleen tugged her hand away from Ryder''s and


    got out of the car.


    Desiree followed suit and scampered to her.


    “Mommy, you''re so beautiful.” Her eyes filled with awe and admiration.


    It''s no wonder that everyone likes Mommy! Samuel''s eyes drank in Kathleen’s beauty, and his throat


    bobbed on a swallow.


    “Why are you guys here?” Kathleen yed innocent.


    “Daddy brought us here.” Desiree nced back at the electric tourist vehicle. Kathleen followed her


    gaze and looked away as soon as she met Samuel''s dark eyes. Samuel followed Ryder''s lead and got


    out of the car.


    She nced at the former''s wrist and felt he was being careless with his injury, despite the fact that he


    was wearing protective gear.


    “Mommy, please talk to Daddy.His hand is injured, yet he isn''t resting properly,” Desiree tattled.


    Kathleen held her tiny hand.


    “I don''t think I''ll be able to persuade him otherwise.” If I could, he wouldn’t be here now. Samuel cleared


    his throat.


    “Well, you didn''t try.” She lifted her gaze and smiled, but the smile never quite reached her eyes.


    “Didn''t I tell you to rest before leaving the house today?” Samuel remained silent. Ryder took a


    stepforward.


    “Nice to meet you, Mr.Macari.” The cold look returned to Samuel’s eyes.


    “Pleasure’s mine, Mr.Xenakis.”


    “You must be Desi.I''m Ryder Xenakis.” He stretched his hand toward Desiree. She looked up at him


    with twinkling eyes.


    “You’re very handsome, Mr.Xenakis.” Heughed.


    “And you’re very adorable.” Samuel snorted under his breath. She blinked.


    “Mr.Xenakis, are you Mommy’s boyfriend?” Ryder hesitated before chuckling.


    “Not yet.” Desiree furtively sighed in relief and yanked on his arm.


    “I’m hungry, Mr.Xenakis.”


    “Okay, I''ll get you something to eat.”


    He bent down to scoop her in his arms. She was a warm and soft bundle, provoking his fatherly


    instincts and overriding his typical indifference toward kids. His life would be more fulfilling if he could


    have such a cute, charming daughter. Kathleen approached them as Ryder headed toward his car


    carrying Desiree.


    “Let me take her while you drive.”


    “All right.” He shed her a smile. Kathleen was about to carry Desiree from him when a suit jacket


    landed on herp. Kathleen''s head shot up, and she saw Samuel wearing only his ck shirt, his eyes


    darker than it as he stared at her before turning to leave. Her short skirt would have ridden up with


    Desiree on herp, disying more than intended.


    Kathleen looked at the tailored suit jacket, and a softugh escaped her.


    “Let''s go,” she said to Ryder after settling Desiree on herp. He nodded and pulled away with


    Kathleen and Desiree. Just then, Em swiveled toward Samuel.


    “Daddy?”


    “Drive, Tyson.” Samuel''s gaze was flinty. Tyson was taken aback since he expected Samuel to


    manhandle Kathleen from Ryder’s car,but instead, Samuel shrugged out of his suit jacket and gave it to


    her. It was baffling. Tyson followed them from a distance, and Emmented after catching a


    glimpse of the three of them in the car, “They look like a family.”


    Samuel''s handsome face darkened into a scowl, and Tyson pleaded inwardly.Say no more, Mr.Eil, or


    Mr.Macari might rupture a blood vessel in anger. Samuel''s gaze sharpened, never leaving the car


    before them.

    “Is Desi a traitor?”Em snuck a peek at his father''s side profile.


    “After all, Mr.Xenakis seems kind.” Samuel had the world''s ckest scowl on his face, and Tyson


    wanted to cry in the front seat. They reached the restaurant soon, and patrons could choose


    betweenbuffet or a-carte. A man of Samuel''s and Ryder''s calibers would naturally opt for a-carte.


    However, Desiree had other ns.


    “I want buffet style.It has a lot of choices,” the little girl dered. She rarely had the chance for an


    excursion dueto health and safety reasons. She was resolved to make the most of her newfound


    freedom and have a good time.


    The adults adored her, so she could have whatever she wanted. Coincidentally, Leonard stood by the


    entrance and wore an odd expression when he saw them.


    “Mr.Sullivan,” greeted Desiree warmly. Leonard immediately reached out and took her in his arms.


    “Ah, my princess, are you here for dinner?” She nodded and noticed there was a beautiful, long-haired


    lady standing next to him. Thedy seemed shocked to see Leonardhandling a child easily and


    remarked, “I didn''t know you liked kids, Mr.Sullivan.”


    He nted a look at her and bit out, “Have I ever said I didn’t like them?”


    She was taken aback.No, he didn’t. “Mr.Macari, Mr.Xenakis,” Leonard greeted. Desiree chimed in


    indignantly, “Mr.Sullivan, why didn''t you include Mommy?”


    “Because I''m not sure how to address her appropriately.” He smiled wryly.


    “Daddysaid Mommy is starting her ownpany, so you can call her Ms.Johnson,” she said with


    unblinking eyes.


    “Well, aren''t you a smart one?” Heughed and shifted his gaze to Kathleen.


    “My apologies, Ms.Johnson, I really didn''t know how to address you.” She sketched a wan smile.


    “You normally wouldn''t have this problem.”


    “Precisely, problems umte as time getste,” he agreed. Kathleen maintained her smile and


    motions to the woman beside him.


    “And you are?” She was caught off guard and introduced herself.


    “I’m Kelly Hoover.” Kathleen arched a brow..


    “Yourst name is Hoover?” She nodded. What a coincidence.
