Chapter 474 Settle The Score

At the hotel, Samuel fell asleep right after he lay down. Kathleen knew that he must be exhausted. Ever since she heartlessly left the airport that day, he hadn’t had a good sleep.

After he regained consciousness, he immediately rushed to Nardor. Kathleen, on the other hand, was very clear-headed. She sent a message to Levi that read: I won’t be back tonight.

Levi replied: Are you with Samuel?

Kathleen: Yes.

Levi: Old Mrs. Lester told me right away after they returned. I didn’t expect you to forgive him so soon.

Kathleen: I think I’ve given him enough punishment.

Levi: That’s good to hear. I’ll inform the Lester family on your behalf, then. Kathleen: All right. Thanks.

After sending that text, Kathleen put down her phone. Samuel wrapped his arms around her slim waist at that moment and asked in a husky voice, “You’re still awake?”

“Yeah. Go back to sleep.”

“No. Since you’re awake, I’ll keep you company,” he said lazily.

Without uttering a word, Kathleen stared at him with a faint smile. Samuel had very good-looking features. He had prominent brow ridges, deep-set eyes, a sharp nose, and perfectly-shaped lips. Aside from the fact that he was a bit pale, he always looked gorgeous. Reaching out, Kathleen touched his brows and nose and smiled.

The next moment, Samuel held her hand and flipped over, pinning her under him. Kathleen was caught off guard.

“What are you doing?” she asked nervously.

When Samuel saw the resistance in her eyes, he swallowed hard.

“I want to kiss you.” Then, he leaned down and captured her cherry-red lips. There was a growing desire within him. He liked Kathleen too much, even when he had lost his memories. It was an indescribable feeling.

When Ashley first mentioned that he had a wife, he knew right away that that woman must be very important to him. After all, it was unusual for someone so aloof as him to fall for someone. The moment he saw Kathleen afterward, the desire of having her to himself intensified.

However, he was apprehensive to do so, for fear that she would hate him. Tortured by these thoughts, he even considered bringing Kathleen to a place no one else knew about.

A few minutes later, he finally let go of her. Kathleen could feel that her lips were swollen. There were even tears in the corner of her eyes, making her look pitiful.

“Kate, I like you,” murmured Samuel as he kissed her eyes. Instantly, Kathleen’s ears flushed red. She circled his neck with her arms and answered, “Yes, I know.”

Afraid that she would be repulsed, Samuel didn’t dare to do anything more. Instead, he embraced her tightly. That was more than enough for him. Soon, he fell asleep again. The two of them woke up later that night from hunger.

Samuel then ordered some takeout food, which was delivered to them quickly. Knowing that they were awake, Tyson sent over a document. After scanning through it, Samuel glanced at Kathleen.

“What’s wrong?” she asked curiously.

“I told you I wouldn’t lie to you, but I think it’s better for you to see this document after you’re done with Old Mrs. Lester’s surgery,” he said as he stared at the document in his hands.

Kathleen blinked a few times before asking, “So you think that the Lester family has no ill intentions toward me and that Old Mrs.Lester should be saved, but my diagnosis of her condition will be affected if I see this document? Is that right?”

Samuel nodded. “Okay. I won’t look at it now.”

Kathleen agreed right away since she trusted him. Putting down the document, Samuel hummed in acknowledgment.

“Since I’m free these days, I’ll treat your legs,” she offered as she munched on food.

“Okay.”

“Are you going to stay in Nardor? How about your company?”

“Well, my father can manage it. He has nothing to do anyway,” Samuel said indifferently, rendering Kathleen speechless. How could he treat his elderly father like this? At the Lester residence, Betty was visibly disgruntled. Yvonne couldn’t help but feel amused.

“What’s wrong, Mom? Why do you look so unhappy?”

“I feel like I’ve been robbed,” grumbled Betty. Yvonne burst into laughter at her words.

“Didn’t you feel the same when I got married back then?”

“I didn’t.” Upon recalling the past, Betty admitted, “At that time, I thought that you should get married and leave the family as soon as possible. I just couldn’t handle you anymore.”

When Yvonne was still with the family, she was a troublemaker. As her father and two elder brothers spoiled her very much, she basically did whatever she wanted. Thus, it was a good idea to let her get married and have someone else control her. Nevertheless, Betty was quite satisfied with her son-in- law.

“Mom, you’re worried that Samuel would bully Kate again, aren’t you? I actually think we can’t be sure who the real bully is.” Betty frowned upon hearing that.

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you notice earlier? Between the two of them, Kate is the one in control. It’s obvious that Samuel only feels happy when Kate is happy. She’s the one who has the say,” Yvonne pointed out. After giving it a thought, Betty still felt a little upset.

“I was just thinking that Kate could stay with me longer, but Samuel suddenly appeared and took her away. How annoying!” “They probably don’t want to stay here because they don’t want to disturb us,” Yvonne voiced out.

“Should I ask them to move here tomorrow?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Yes.” Betty nodded. Yvonne smiled knowingly.

“Got it, Mom. Do you perhaps feel like Kate is acting like an outsider, so you think she should bring Samuel here?” Betty stayed silent.

“All right, I understand. I’ll visit her tomorrow.”

Closing her eyes, Betty urged, “Hurry up and leave now. I’m going to sleep.” Yvonne was stumped for words. That was a quick change of attitude.

When Kathleen woke up the next day, the first thing she did was to check on Samuel.

“How do your legs feel?” The night before, she had performed acupuncture on him. Samuel moved his legs a few times before answering, “They feel much better than yesterday.”

“Of course.I’m much better than Lauren,” boasted Kathleen. She then added, “I bet you’re the only one who would let her treat your legs.”

Seeing her petty behavior, Samuel chuckled.

“It’s not that I trust her. However, she seems to have a very special relationship with Ashley.”

“Don’t you sense something strange about Ashley?” Kathleen asked as she put her long hair up into a bun. Samuel explained,

“I’ve looked into it and found that Ashley was saved after she was sent to that hospital. However, she was hidden by the Zeller family since then.”

“Yeah. Also, didn’t you notice that Ashley’s father didn’t even show up when she got married? Only Luna and Trevor came,” Kathleen reminded. With a frown, Samuel asked, “Are you implying that she’s not the real Ashley?”

“Who knows? She might be an old friend,” remarked Kathleen with a cold smile.

“If it really is her, we’ll settle all the scores with her.”
