Chapter 462 The Point Of No Return
M fixed her gaze on Samuel.
"This way, please."
She intentionally led them to a table as far as possible from Kathleen, fearing that things would turn
ugly.
Samuel trailed behind M to the table and sat down.
"I didn’t expect you to bring your friend over, too," were M’s words.
Samuel merely gave a t response.
"Mm."
Then came Ashley’s deration, "I’m not just Samuel’s friend, Mdm.Hunt.More urately, I’m her
girlfriend."

She wore a smug look at that.
The corner of M’s lips curled upward.
"Oh, my.I hope I didn’t offend you with my choice of words, Ms.Zeller.I was just trying to stay neutral
and as future-proof as I possibly can be.It’s just so I don’t have to owe anyone any exnation if
something were to crop up in the future.Don’t get worked up, okay?"
"Oh, no.I also didn’t mean anything else, Mdm.Hunt."
Ashley’s words clearly implied otherwise.
"That’s good to know."
shing a half-smile, M quickly changed the topic.
"What would you like to eat, Samuel? Do you have any cravings?"
"My mom asked me to support your business.I’ll leave it to you," uttered Samuel cidly.
To be honest, he was reluctant to show up at first.It was Wynnie who had forced him to do so.
No matter his amnesia, he would never go against her wishes.
She was his mother, after all, so he had to do her bidding.
A faint smile appeared on M’s face.
"Okay, I’ll serve you something nice, then." Samuel gave a nod.
His gaze unwittinglynded on Kathleen and her group.
At that time, Kathleen was chatting with Levi.
"Why don’t you try and talk to her nicely?"
"But she’s been giving me the cold shoulder." Levi sounded aggrieved.
"Why don’t you help me, Kate?"
"Uh… Okay," said Kathleen as she massaged her temples.
"If I happen to ruin it somehow, don’te after me." Levi winced on that note.
"Could it get any worse than what I’m facing right now?" hemented.
"No, indeed." Kathleen just had to admit it.
Levi fell speechless at that.
Looking at that intimate duo happily chit-chatting, the look in Samuel’s eyes darkened slightly.I never
should’ve stepped into this restaurant in the first ce .
To make matters worse, Kathleen was all smiles when Samuelid his gaze on her from afar.
Look at the way she smiles! Why can’t she treat me the same way? Ever since his return, she had
never once shed him a smile, not even a faint one for that matter.
Destion rose in his heart.
Why couldn’t she understand how insecure and lonely I must’ve been after losing my memories? Right
then, Queena pushed the food cart to the table where Samuel was at and ced a steak on the grill to
begin cooking.
Halfway through the process, she must’ve gone into a daze, for she identally brushed her thumb
against a grill stone.
Immediately, her thumb was seared and reddened like a tomato.
Concurrently, a yelp came through her lips.
"Ouch!"
At that juncture, Levi suddenly leaped up from his seat and bolted toward Queena.
Grabbing her injured hand with both hands, Levi was distressed as he urged, "Did you hurt yourself?
Come! I’ll send you to the hospital!"
"Let go of me!"
Queena appeared to be agitated, hollering, "Don’t you dare touch me!"
Huh? Levi froze as he witnessed her reaction.
"I-I’m only worried about you…"
He loosened his grip sheepishly.
Queena, in turn, ignored him and directed her gaze at Samuel instead.
"I’m sorry, Mr.Macari.Please excuse my clumsiness.I’ll go get my colleague to continue serving you."
Samuel gave a curt nod.
Deep down, Samuel was puzzled by what he had just seen.
From his perspective, something must’ve been going on between this pair.
Anyone can tell that he cares a whole lot for her.
With that said, Queena headed toward the kitchen right away.
To Samuel’s surprise, Kathleen, too, rose to her feet and followed Queena’s footsteps.
A deep frown was etched on Samuel’s face.
Why on earth did she have to follow? When Kathleen entered the kitchen, Queena was already
rummaging through the first aid kit, seemingly looking for some medicine.
Kathleen walked up and sped Queena’s hand before dragging thetter toward the sink.She turned
the pipe on and ced Queena’s seared thumb under the running cold water.
"Always give it a good rinse before applying any medication."
"Thank you."
Queena expressed her appreciation, her eyes teary.
A faint smile appeared on Kathleen’s face as she fished out her phone to dial Yadiel’s number.
The call quickly got through.
"Fetch me some burn ointment," was Kathleen’smand.
She hung up the phone right after that.
Queena bit her lip, gawking at her injured finger.

Out of the blue, Kathleen crossed her arms and asked, "Why did you break up with Levi?"
Her words stupefied Queena on the spot.
"Don’t get me wrong.I’m not prying.Levi asked me to help him out, but that doesn’t mean I take his
side.He simply wanted to get to the bottom of this."
Kathleen portrayed a fair-minded demeanor as she spoke.
"Forgive my bluntness, though.If you’ve decided to let him go, surely you wouldn’t mind telling me,
right?"
Queena froze at that.
Initially, she had really thought of keeping it to herself.However, considering Kathleen had already put it
that way, Queena was left with no choice.
"He’s been seeing someone else.During his absence, a woman came to me and showed me some
photos of them acting all lovey-dovey with each other.I couldn’t ept it, so I left him,"
Queena gruffly blurted out the truth.
Kathleen blinked in disbelief.
"Seriously?"
The look on Queena’s face was stern as she said, "There’s no reason for me to lie."
"No, no, no.I mean, Levi wouldn’t do such a thing."
Kathleen’s visage was impassive, but her tone was all the more indifferent.
Queena knitted her brows.
"What makes you say that?"
"His mom is one of those devoted bunch.Naturally, Levi is, too.They’re the kind of people who would
forbid getting physical before marriage.I bet when you guys were dating each other, he had never
crossed the line except giving you some pecks, correct?" remarked Kathleen.
Her deadpan countenance didn’t waver at all.
Queena nodded in agreement.
Kathleen went on, "Trust me.I met Levi’s mom before.She’s super strict when ites to educating her
son.Well, even if he’s nothing of the sort, he wouldn’t just get himself another partner like that.I’ve
known him long enough to know him inside and out."
Listening to her im, Queena pursed her lips.
"But… what I said is also true."
"How about that woman, though? Is she believable?" Kathleen shrugged.
"You know, it’s rtively easy toposite photographs nowadays."
Those words made Queena freeze for a moment.
"Actually, you should’ve confronted Levi about this.You’re his girlfriend.You have all the right in the
world to do that," added Kathleen in a heartbeat.
"It’s a little toote for that now…"
Queena hung her head low, concealing the emotions behind her hazel eyes.
"I beg to differ.He still has a thing for you.No matter what, you two should really talk it out before
jumping to conclusions.Everyone hates being set up, don’t we all?"
Kathleen tried her best to talk some sense into Queena.Thetter inclined her head in approval.
"I guess so…"
"That’s settled, then.I’ll ask Levi to wait for you to get off work.I’ve got to go now."
"Okay,"
Queena responded with a nod.
With that, Kathleen wheeled around to exit the kitchen.
Right after she stepped out of the kitchen, she bumped into Samuel.
Samuel clenched her hands and dragged her all the way into the restroom.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
Kathleen red daggers at him.
Samuel released his clutch at once before piping up, "That guy’s not into you.He only cares for
Queena."
Kathleen’s brows furrowed.
"Oh, really? What does that have anything to do with you?"
"That man doesn’t love you."
Samuel’s voice was as deep as the ocean.
"Wake up!"
"So what if he’s not in love with me? Why should I care?" came Kathleen’s ice-cold retort.
Samuel’s dark gaze pierced deep into Kathleen’s eye.
"You don’t care?" A frown marred Kathleen’s mien.
"Yes, I don’t."
Of course, Kathleen couldn’t be bothered about Levi’s feelings toward her, for she herself wasn’t
attracted to Levi.
Besides, Levi only had eyes for Queena.
Although Kathleen knew that Samuel had gotten the wrong idea, she hadn’t the slightest intention to
exin anything.
Some nerve he has to intrude on my private affairs after getting Ashley pregnant! Kathleen fumed
furiously, "We’re no longer rted, Samuel, so don’t pester me anymore!"
She left in a huff as soon as she finished her words.
s, Samuel wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, yanking her back into his embrace.
"Let go of me!"
Kathleen struggled as she turned around.
As they grappled with each other, Samuel’s cor was unbuttoned by ident.
A ne then fell out,ing into sight.
Attached to the ne was the diamond ring that Kathleen had returned to him.
Huh? He even wears that diamond ring on his neck now? Kathleen was stunned upon witnessing that.
Embarrassed, Samuel stuffed the ne back under his shirt.He acted as though he had been
stripped of his veryst bit of dignity.
"Fine.I’m staying out of your business from now on!"
After dropping those words, Samuel let go of Kathleen and strode off in no time at all.
A trace of helplessness and bitterness shed across Kathleen’s face.
What’s going on? Are things never going to be the same again? Have we really reached the point of no
return?
