Chapter 349


    Chapter 349 You Seemed To Hate Me “I…” Kathleen paused, then she sighed and said, “I don’t know


    either.” Charles frowned slightly. Seeing that, Kathleen exined, “Actually, all I know is that his


    surname is Hoover. He never told me anything about himself.” “Hoover?” Charles frowned harder. “Do


    you remember someone once said Granny was quite close to someone with the same surname?” “I’ve


    lost my memory,” Kathleen said tly. “The only answer I can give you is that I don’t remember it.”


    Charles’ face flushed with embarrassment. He had forgotten about that. “Where’s your room?”


    Samuel’s indifferent gaze was instantly filled with gentleness and affection when he looked at Kathleen.

    “The first floor. There’s a room in there,” said Kathleen. “Okay.” Samuel pushed her into the house and


    headed for the room. The room had a massive floor-to-ceiling window—the kind of windows Kathleen


    loved. She liked the feeling of having sunlight pouring into the house. “This is fine. Thank you,”


    Kathleen said softly. “Do you need me to carry you to the bed?” Samuel asked in a deep and gentle


    voice. “It’s okay.” Kathleen shook her head gently. Samuel noticed her slight resistance toward him.


    “So… Let’s talk again after you get some rest?” He knew Kathleen was avoiding him. In fact, he knew


    the exact thing she was afraid of as well. Even if she had lost her memory, her understanding and fear


    of him never disappeared. “Okay.” Kathleen nodded. “Eil will be here in a while. I’ve sent someone to


    bring over the children’s necessities, too.” Samuel squatted to look at her at eye level. “Do you mind if I


    take a look around the house? I’m worried there might be some spots that the workers missed during


    renovation. I don’t want you and the children to get hurt.” Kathleen nodded. “Go ahead. Eil and Desi


    are your children, too. It’s totally normal for you to be meticulous with things rted to them.” Samuel


    smiled and hummed in agreement. Finally, he stood up and exited the room. Only then did Kathleen


    breathe a sigh of relief. She could not help but feel stressed when she was in Samuel’s presence.


    For some unknown reason, Samuel’s gaze made her anxious. The feeling of being totally exposed,


    trapped, and helpless made her uneasy. Samuel’s too terrifying. He’s always watching me so intently.


    I’d always know he’s there, even if he does nothing. He’s like a deep pit I’d fall into once I make a


    wrong move. Ugh… He’s too scary! “Mommy!” A boy’s childish voice traveled into the room. Kathleen


    turned sideways and spotted a little boy who looked like a spitting image of Samuel. Her red lips curled


    into a smile. “You seemed to hate me when west met.” Eil already knew Kathleen was Gizem. His


    ears flushed red, and he said embarrassedly, “I didn’t know that was you.” “Of course, it’s not your


    fault.” Kathleen extended her hand. “Come here.” Eil walked over and slipped his soft and tiny hand


    into hers. Mommy’s hands are so warm. And they’re so slender and soft. “Mommy, Desi says we can


    stay here with you. Is that true?”


    Eil asked expectantly. Kathleen nodded. “Of course, it’s true.” Being the more observant child, Eil


    asked, “Mommy, are you not nning to remarry Daddy?” Kathleen fell silent for a while. Finally, she


    gathered her courage and admitted, “Eil, I don’t want to lie to you. I’ve lost my memory. For now, I


    might find it awkward to live with a stranger.” “What about thest time?” Eil was a curious child. “That’s


    because of work. He was my employer, while I was his employee,” Kathleen exined, though she was


    not sure if Eil actually understood her words. True enough, Eil did not get her wordspletely. Just


    then, Desi came to the room. “Hey, Eil. You’re here, too!” She seemed quite excited. “I’ve checked out


    the rooms. Do you want to see them?” “Nah.” Eil shook his head. Desi pouted. “You’re going to let


    Mommy’s efforts go to waste. She got someone to decorate the room nicely for you.” “Really?” Eil


    looked at Kathleen in surprise. “Not really,” Kathleen said honestly. “I just asked the staff to redecorate


    the room with some of the things you like.” “I like it as long as it’s made by you,” Eil stated without


    hesitation. When Eil was with Samuel, he acted maturely. However, when he was in Kathleen’s


    presence, hepletely transformed into a child. It was not Samuel’s strict methods that pressured Eil


    to act that way. Rather, it was Eil who matured fasterpared to other children. He knew the


    responsibilities he had, which made him work hard to be more dependable. Now that he had a


    mother, he felt as if there was someone he could depend on.


    Thus, he allowed himself to behave more like a child. “Mommy, I’ll go take a look,” Eil said excitedly.


    Kathleen nodded. “Sure. Go on.” “I’ll take you there, Eil!” Desi grabbed Eil’s hand and pulled him out of


    the room. A warm smile appeared on Kathleen’s delicate face as she watched the children leave.


    Standing by the doorway, Charles remarked, “You three seem to get along well.” “They’re my children,


    after all,” Kathleen responded inly. “What’s up?” Charles paused for a while. He then stepped into


    the room and said in a grim tone, “Granny wants to see you.” Kathleen was slightly taken aback.


    “Please give me a few more days. I still need time to digest some things here.” “Okay.” Charles did not


    expect Kathleen to show reluctance. Though they had found Kathleen, the one they were currently


    seeing was drastically different from the Kathleen they were used to. The old Kathleen was too soft-


    hearted. This new Kathleen, however, seemed tougher and moreposed. Kathleen asked in an


    unhurried manner, “Is there anything else?” “No. That’s all. Get some rest.” Charles quickly left the


    room, feeling awkward. When he arrived in the living room, he bumped into Samuel. “Kate has


    changed a lot,” Charlesmented with a frown, feeling worried.


    “No matter how much she changes, she’s still Kathleen.” Samuel’s voice was deep and calm. Charles


    let out a slight snort. “I never said she isn’t. It’s a good thing that she shuns you along with me.” “It’s


    only right for her to dislike me,” said Samuel monotonously. “After all, I did many things that hurt her in


    the past.” Charles scoffed, “d you know that.” Samuel shot him a re and went into the kitchen.


    Charles was feeling rather bored, but he did not want to go home. So, he followed Samuel into the


    kitchen. Seeing Samuel taking out ingredients from the refrigerator, Charles asked, “What are you


    doing?” “It’s already four o’clock. I’m going to make them dinner before leaving,” Samuel answered.


    Charles was dumbstruck by his response. Once Eil and Desi were done viewing the rooms, they


    returned to Kathleen’s room. All three of themy on the bed, and Kathleen told them stories until night


    arrived. Desi’s stomach growled. “Mommy, I’m hungry.” “I’ll go check out the kitchen.” Kathleen sat up


    right away. Just then, the door opened, and Samuel appeared with a solemn gaze. “Are you all hungry?


    Dinner’s ready.” Kathleen was puzzled. “You’re still here?” “I’m going to leave soon.” Samuel entered


    the room. “Anyway, I made some dinner.” “Daddy, aren’t you eating with us?” asked Desi sadly. Samuel


    patted her head. “I’m not. You two shall eat with Mommy.” Desi quickly fixed her big eyes on Kathleen.


    “Mommy?” Kathleen flushed awkwardly. She turned to Samuel and asked, “Why don’t you stay for


    dinner?”
