Chapter 473


    Chapter 473 Because You Were Not There Kathleen guided Samuel to the restaurant. Soon, they


    found a nice and quiet ce to sit. With the menu in hand, Kathleen orderedall the food that Samuel


    liked while he sat next to her. There was a refreshing fragranceing from her.


    He could not help but want to get close to her because of the pleasant scent. “Kate.” Samuel inched


    closerto her.


    “Did the Lester family only ask you to treat Old Mrs.


    Lester?” Picking up the pitcher beside her, she poured a ss of water for Samuel.


    “That’s right.

    What else would they ask me to do?” Samuel pursed his thin lips.


    “It’s weird.”


    Kathleen blinked in surprise.


    “So you also feel the same way?” Samuel nodded in response. “To be honest, it’s hard to put myfinger


    on it.


    The Lester family does treat me a little strangely.” She muttered, “I just don’t understand whythey treat


    me that way.


    Is it really merely because I’m treating Old Mrs.


    Lester’s condition?”


    Samuel put her hand into his.


    “Do you want to know what I have discovered?” Astounded, she questioned, “Did you already look into


    it?” “How could you forget? I’m great at diggingup information,” he said meaningfully. “What did you


    find!” Kathleen was eager to know. Releasing his grip around her hand, he sipped his water.


    “In any case, they aren''t trying to make you marry into their family.” Kathleen was dumbfounded. She


    fumed, “Of course not! Furthermore, I’dnever do that.” “Oh? Why not?” Samuel gave her a knowing


    look. Kathleen raised a brow.


    “What do you think?” “How would I know?” replied Samuel indifferently. He continued to sip his water,


    unrelenting. Kathleen smiled wordlessly.


    “It’s because you’re the best.


    I have to marry you.” Hearing her words, Samuel smiled. A short whileter, their meal was served.


    Kathleen put some food onto Samuel’s te. He used his lefthand to hold the fork while Kathleen kept


    putting more food on his te. Kathleen also passed a spoon to him. Her heart ached as she watched


    him eat with difficulty. His hand, his leg, and even his body were wounded.


    Anywhere that could be hurt was hurt. “Aren''t you going to eat?” Samuel noticed her gaze was fixated


    on him. “I am eating though?” Kathleen shiftedher gaze away. Samuel''s pencil-thin lips curved upward.


    “I want to eat that, Kate.” “Which one?” Kathleen turned to look at him. Little did she expect that


    Samuel would lean over and nt a kiss on her scarlet lips.


    “This one.” Kathleen instantly blushed up to her ears. She stared at him, speechless.


    “There are a lot of people around.” Samuel, in turn, narrowed his eyes and gazed at her.


    “You''re my wife.” “I''m still your fiancée, okay? We haven''t even registered our marriage yet,” Kathleen


    corrected. I only said that to the Lester family because I don’twant them to form any


    misunderstandings! “We can get registered now.” Samuel spoke in a solemn tone. Kathleen was


    stumped. “As long as you are willing to.” He fixed her with a serious and unwavering stare.


    “Would you be willing to do it?” Kathleen gave it a long and hard thought.


    “No.” Dumbstruck, the man looked defeated. “I need to think about it more.


    After all, you almost married Ashley.” She suggested, “We should take things like marriage slow.” It was


    apparent that she was traumatizedby the idea of marriage and weddings. I know I can''t force her.


    There are still some hurdles inside of her that she can’t get over. “I understand.” Samuel nodded. Our


    current stateisn''t so bad too. Just as Kathleen and Samuel were minding their own business having


    their lunch, someone snapped a photo of them and posted it on the inte. Everyone couldn''t believe


    what they were seeing. So after going around in circles, they still end up together? Ashley saw the


    news, too.


    She almost threw her phone out of anger. How could he do this? How could he just change like that?


    Doesn’the know the price I have to pay because of this? “Being angry doesn''t help, you know?” Lauren


    gave her a narrow-eyed look.


    “Kathleen must be feeling proud at the moment.” Ashley roared indignantly, “I’ve already tried my best.


    I was so close!”


    I was so close…


    I could have married him and made my wishe true.


    Yet…


    Samuel is unable to forget about Kathleen! His feelings for her must have been etched into hisbones.


    That''s the only exnation for him to still love her after losing his memories! Heartbroken, she cupped


    her face with her hands.


    “Lauren, tell me.


    What have I gained after going through so much pain?” Lauren stated indifferently, “Honestly, I think


    thatyou are not ruthless enough.” Ashley knitted her brows.


    “I''m not ruthless enough?” “That''s right! If you just killed Kathleen, then you wouldn’t be having somany


    issues.” “Do you think I had never thought of that?” Ashley took a deep breath.


    “I was so close to killing her back then.


    If it weren''t for Wynnie and the others, Kathleen would have been long dead.” Lauren remarked coldly,


    “She was a nobody back then.


    Now, even if you want to get rid of her, it’ll be very difficult.” Ashley decided to stay silent. “Your top


    priority now should befinding ways to get Luna to have faith in you again.


    Also, there''s still one way to ruin Samuel and Kathleen''s rtionship.” “What is it!” Ashley was keen to


    know. Lauren proposed, “It’s killing Samuel and Kathleen’s children.


    Their rtionship would undoubtedly break down due to this.” Ashley was taken aback.


    “If that were to happen, Samuel would never forgive me.” “How would anyone know if we do it in


    secret?”Lauren borated, “We just have toe up with a good n.


    As we both know, Kathleen and Samuel are not in the country at the moment—now is our best


    chance.” Ashley was hesitant.


    “But...” She did not dare to take the risk. A misstep could easily lead her to her doom. It’s way too risky.


    Laurencasually said, “If you don''t do it, there won''t be a chance anymore.


    What will you do when Kathleen makes her move?” “Fine!” Ashley pressed her lips together.


    “We’ll just do it your way.”


    Delighted, Lauren said, “Good.


    I’ll make the preparations for you.”


    Ashley nodded.


    “We need to be quick.


    I''m worried that Samuel and Kathleen will be back to deal with me soon.” “Leave it to me.” Back in


    Nardor, Kathleen and Samuel were dining together. “Are you staying atthe Lester residence tonight?”


    thetter asked in a low voice. “Yup.” Kathleen gave a nod.


    “Is there something wrong?” “I don''t want to be away from you.” His voice husky, he proposed, “You


    eitherstay at the hotel with me, or I stay with you at the Lester residence.” Kathleenughed in


    exasperation.


    “Wouldn''t it be a little too much if we both stayed at the Lester residence?” “Isn’t asking me to sleep at


    a hotel alone a little too much? Youclearly know how much I would miss you.” Kathleen looked rather


    abashed.


    “All right, I''ll stay with you at the hotel.” “Great.” Samuel shed a contented smile.


    “Let’s go then.


    I want to have a good night''s rest.” Hearing him say that made her notice the faintdark circles under his


    eyes. “Did you not sleep for the past few days?” she questioned. “Yeah.
