Chapter 380
Chapter 380 Afraid That You Would Misunderstand “These were brought back by the family whenever
they travel.” Samuel picked up one of them.
“You used to love these things.” “I still like them.” Kathleen picked up one too.
She shook it and watched the snowkes dance before they slowlynded on the roof of the tiny
house. Samuel nced at her sideways.
He could see the joy in her gaze, and his lips curved slightly into a smile.
“Do you want to take them? They were supposed to be gifts for you anyway.” “Take them away?”
Kathleen was surprised. “You can keep them here too.”Samuel hoarsely uttered, “If you evere
over or decide to stay here, you''ll be able to see them.” After a momentary pause, she responded, “It''s
fine.
Once you''re married in the future, your wife will not befortable with seeing my things here.”
Samuel snorted.
“Do you really think I''d get a wife?” Kathleen''s forehead furrowed.
“It''s not impossible, right? There''s still a long life ahead of you.
I don''t think anyone can predict the future.” As his dark eyes became intense, he narrowed them into
slits.
“You’re right.
No one can predict the future.” Feeling chilly from the man''s cold gaze, she stated, “I’d like to rest for a
bit.” Samuel chuckled in a deep voice.
“You know what? You''re afraid of me.” Kathleen was stunned. “Although you''ve lost your memories,
you’re afraid of me.” His gaze solemn and gentle, he asked, “What are you afraid of?Are you worried
that I might eat you or something?” “Don''t spout nonsense.” Pursing her lips, she forced herself to be
calm.
“I''m not afraid of you.” Seeing that Kathleen looked like a cat showing its defensive posture, he looked
at her with his most gentle gaze.
“Why do you look so agitated if you''re not afraid?” Kathleen bit her pink lip.
“You can get out now.” The man''s thin lips curved upward.
“Do you know what you''re afraid of me doing?” Kathleen frowned upon hearing that. Why is he still
talking about this? His voice was husky as he continued, “You’re afraid thatI would be too nice to you.
You’re scared that you would fall for me.
Aren''t you tired of restraining yourself?” “Stop being so full of yourself, Samuel.” Kathleen fumed, “The
present me has no feelings for you.” Howcould I still like him? That''s justughable! Who gave him that
confidence? Samuel looked at her meaningfully for a long time.
“Is that so? I must have been too presumptuous, so you can just act as if I had neversaid that.” He
turned on his heel after he spoke. Kathleen felt her anger rising. That d*mned Samuel! Does he think
that I''d still have feelings for him? That''s just unthinkable! I don''t have feelings for him at all! From what
I heard from Charles, all I know about that man is that he''s the father of my two children.
That’s all.
I will not give anyone a chance to hurt me.
Never! Kathleen was about to leave after she ate at the Macari residence. She wanted to drive home,
but Samuel wanted tosend her back. They soon stood in the yard. Kathleen mocked, “Please don''t
send me back—I''m worried you would misunderstand that I have feelings for you!” As she finished, she
got into the car.
After mming the door shut, she drove away. Watching the distancing vehicle calmly, he thought that
she was pretty irritable. I guess that also gives me a pieceof mind.
I just don''t want her to feel pressured whenever she''s with me. Meanwhile, Kathleen got home alone.
As soon as stepped into her house, Charlesgave her a call. “Kate, are you home?” Charles'' deep voice
sounded. “Yeah,” Kathleen huffed. Charles smiled as he asked, “Did Samuel get on your nerves?” “He
thinks I still have feelings for him.” “Oh.
Don''t you?” Charles questioned in confusion. Kathleen refuted, “Not at all.
Am I stupid? Why would I give him another chance to hurt me?” “He was definitely in the wrong back
then.
But he has already paid the price for it.” Charles spoke calmly. “Charles, who’s side are you on?”
Kathleen soundedmad. Charles chuckled.
“Of course, I’m always on your side.
I just think that Samuel has already paid for it.
That''s all!” Kathleen let out a light snort as soon as she heard him. “Let’s stop talking about thatfor now.
Didn''t you mention something about starting your ownpany before? Why don’t youe to help
mein Brilliance Corporation?” Charles asked. “That''s right.” With a nod, she added, “If you need my
help, of course, I''ll lend you a hand.
However, I still want to start my ownpany.” “Okay.” Charles smiled gently.
“Then you should help me with something first.”
Kathleen pouted.
“You''re already putting me to work that quickly?” “To be honest, I have a movie on hand,and the lead
actress needed is under Divine Corporation.
Thatpany''s CEO would not let her work with us,” Charles exined. “Oh?” Kathleen wondered out
loud, “Evenwith your capabilities, the other party still refused?” “And that''s where youe in.
The other party seems to be suffering from some sort of invisible illness.
I''d like you to go check up on him.” “I see.” Kathleen nodded in agreement.
“Sure, that’s not a big deal.
When should I go see him?” “We''ll be going together tomorrow,” he answered. “I’m fine with that.
Then I’ll see you tomorrow,” Kathleen repliedzily.
“Okay.
Be sure to sleep early.” Charles then hung up. Laying down her phone, she pinched the space between
her eyebrows. Suddenly, her phone’s ringtone sounded. Shepicked up her phone and saw a message
from Samuel. He texted: Are you home yet? Kathleen replied: Yes. Samuel responded: Tell me when
you get home next time, or I''ll have to go to your ce to check up on you. Kathleen was dumbstruck.
All of a sudden, she heard the engine of a car outside. Momentarily stunned, she started to wonder. He

can''t be outside, can he? She stepped toward the window and looked outside.
That''s Samuel''s car... A ck Maybach was outside of her home.
As the window rolled down, a slender hand could be seen extending out.
The long fingers were sping on a cigarette. Kathleen instantly stiffened. She responded in a
heartbeat: Why did youe? Samuel stated: I thought you weren’t home, seeing thatthe lights of the
mansion are still off. Kathleen texted back: I got a phone call and forgot to turn them on. She then spun
around to turn on the lights before adding: You can leave now. Taking a drag, he replied: Okay. Samuel
retracted his hand and drove away. Only then did Kathleen heave a sigh of relief. Sitting on the couch,
she massaged the space between her brows. Maybe Samuel was right.
The nicer he is to me, the more I''m afraid of him.
Can''t I stay strong? Would I fall for him once again? The next day, Kathleen went to Brilliance
Corporation. Charles personally waited at the lobby to greet her. Walking in, shesaw her picture hung in
the lobby.
That was a picture from five to six years ago. “I''m not an actress anymore.” Kathleen pointed at her
picture. “I don’t think so, though.” Charles smiledas he suggested, “Do you want to have a look around?
The present Brilliance Corporation is pretty big.” “No thanks,” Kathleen refused, shaking her head. “I
need to head back sometime soon.
There are some things regarding Blissful Sect that needs to be handled.
Can you look after the ce while I''m gone?” Charles asked earnestly. With a serious expression,
Kathleen replied with a question, “Is Raymond on the move?” “Two days ago, there wasa bit of a sh
between Blissful Sect and Axeworth Corporation.
Both sides are at an impasse.
He wants my help.” “It''s going to be dangerous.” Kathleen uttered in worry, “Charles, I don’t thinkyou
should go.
I can prepare some drugs to make you look like you’re actually sick.” Nevertheless, Charles shook his
head.
“If I don''t go, he''ll make Wyatte.” I don''t want Kathleen to be entangled with Wyatt. With a frown
etched on her face, Kathleen remarked,“It seems that I have burdened you again, Charles.” Charles
smiled faintly in response.
“Don’t say that.
If it weren''t for me, you wouldn''t be having so many issues.
