Perfect Marriage with My Substitute Wife

Chapter 143

“Why can’t I be here if Christopher can?” Samuel walked to Kathleen’s side.

“You’re wearing my clothes! Kate bought this set of clothing for me. I couldn’t even bear to wear it.” Charles was bothered by Samuel who was wearing his clothes.

“You couldn’t bear to wear it? I thought you didn’t like it,” said Kathleen as realization dawned on her.

“I haven’t worn it even once.” Charles gritted his teeth, glaring at Samuel.

“Well, I’ll keep it then. It suits me quite well,” said Samuel calmly.

Kathleen bought this, after all.

Charles was speechless. Then, he asked, “Where’s your dignity?”

Do you still want it?

“Go and drink your coffee and go home,” urged Kathleen. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Samuel went over and sat at the furthest seat from Christopher.

Maria brought him a cup of coffee.

Thanking her, Samuel picked up the cup and sipped slowly.

Charles tugged at Kathleen’s sleeve and asked, “What’s going on?”

“The two of them fought in the yard. I stopped them with the spray gun you used to water the plants,” explained Kathleen.

Charles blinked several times.

So they were the dogs that fought?

Kathleen walked over to Christopher and remarked, “Chris, the incident where Astrid schemed you is far from simple. She had signed a contract with an entertainment company half a year ago. She planned well with every step she made.”

Christopher frowned after hearing that.

“Samuel explained to me just now. He didn’t get Astrid to harass you.” Kathleen paused before continuing, “I believe what Samuel told me. After all, he’s not someone that unscrupulous.”

Samuel was at a loss for words.

“You never know because someone’s appearance can be deceiving,” mocked Christopher.

“I completely agree with you.” Charles raised his brows.

“You stay out of this.” Kathleen glowered at Charles.

Charles felt awkward.

“Why did you show up at my grandpa’s place today?” Christopher stared at Samuel coldly.

“I was worried about Kathleen,” said Samuel indifferently.

Christopher narrowed his eyes and queried, “How did you know Kathleen went to see my grandpa? Did you stalk her?”

Kathleen also turned her gaze to Samuel.

Looking at Kathleen, Samuel slowly nodded.

What a jerk!

Kathleen glared daggers at him and howled, “Samuel, you’re being ridiculous!”

“I have someone protect you secretly for your safety. Nicolette will surely take revenge on you,” explained Samuel.

Kathleen knitted her brows.

“Plus, I’ve ordered them not to appear in front of you and not to disturb you. I did this out of good intention,” remarked Samuel in a deep voice.

“Nicolette will take revenge on my sister because of you! It was you who wandered between two women and hesitated back then, causing the situation to turn out like this!” raged Charles.

Samuel’s gaze darkened. “Anyway, I did that to protect Kathleen. I know Felix’s character more than any of you.”

Since Samuel was nine, Calvin began to teach him how to manage the company.

At that time, Felix was still handling Morris Group.

Although the Macari family and the Morris family seemed harmonious on the surface, they had always been fighting secretly.

Later, the two families started to be on good terms when Aaron led the Morris family.

However, it felt like something big was coming up lately.

Christopher did not deny it when Felix was being suspected.

Of course, he was familiar with his grandfather.

All those years, Emily would tell Christopher about something that happened back then.

Emily would never spill a word before that.

Actually, when Emily married Aaron, she went through a lot of twists and turns.

The first obstruction was from Felix and his wife, namely Christopher’s grandmother.

They thought Emily was not from a prominent family.

The two believed that a woman from a regular family was not good enough for their son.

It was due to the same reason that Felix disliked Kathleen.

He had an old-fashioned way of thinking. Felix thought Kathleen was not good enough for his grandson because she had been divorced.

Meanwhile, Astrid was his old friend’s granddaughter. He knew Astrid well.

Christopher drank his coffee quietly.

Right then, Charles commented meaningfully, “The people backing Astrid are indeed not ordinary. She could join the most popular variety show as soon as she returned. That is strange by itself. Although we have investigated her, we know nothing about the people behind her.”

In other words, Astrid was not an ordinary woman.

“Chris, do you know Astrid?” Kathleen asked faintly.

Staring at her intently, Christopher shook his head and answered, “Even though I had an engagement with her before, that was an arranged marriage. I’ve never been serious about it, and I’ve never met her. Later, Grandpa asked me to get in touch with her, but I refused. I told Grandpa about my wishes straightforwardly and called off the marriage.”

He also did not expect Astrid to come back again.

“How about we look into Astrid? If she’s making you two fight each other, there must be someone who will benefit from this.”

Samuel fixed his gaze on Kathleen.

She has become more mature. Her way of viewing an issue is also different from before. Perhaps she has never changed. It was me who had never paid attention to her.

Charles frowned and responded, “Do you mean Astrid’s purpose was not to marry Christopher but to make Samuel and Christopher fight each other?”

“I can’t think of any reasons other than that,” replied Kathleen in a low voice.

“I’ll look into this.” Standing up, Christopher shot a meaningful look at Kathleen and said, “Anyway, their plan won’t work.”

“Chris, your grandpa believes Astrid no matter what. You should be more cautious when handling this matter,” reminded Kathleen.

Christopher said coldly, “I don’t believe Grandpa will still trust her when the evidence is right in front of his eyes.”

Hearing that, Samuel sneered. “Your grandpa will certainly say Astrid did that because she loves you too much.”

Christopher pursed his lips.

Turning around to look at Kathleen, Christopher uttered, “Still, I have never touched her.”

“Okay. I understand.” Kathleen nodded.

“I’ll go back first. I’ll deal with all these and ask you out on another day.” Christopher stared at Kathleen meaningfully.

A gleam flashed through Kathleen’s eyes. “I will join the film set on the day after tomorrow.”

She was going to film.

Christopher said solemnly, “Okay, I’ll visit you at the film set.”

With that, he turned around and left.

Samuel smirked. “He will undoubtedly get nothing from Felix.”

Walking over, Charles urged, “Have you finished the drink? Quickly leave if you’re done.”

Looking at Kathleen deeply, Samuel said, “I’m leaving.”

Kathleen nodded. “Goodbye.”

Cough! Samuel coughed a few times before getting up slowly. “I was just discharged from the hospital, and I got wet. My head is aching slightly.”

Charles was speechless at the sight.

Where is this jerk’s pride?

“Wait!” Kathleen called out to Samuel.

Samuel raised his head, and his face was full of anticipation.

Kathleen turned around and took a box of medicine. “Here’s some fever medicine. Eat it if you have a fever.”

It was Samuel turn to be speechless.

“Haha!” Charles could not hold back his laughter.

As the saying goes, “There is no best, only better.”

Is he trying to gain sympathy from Kathleen? Unfortunately, she doesn’t buy that anymore.

“Thank you.” Samuel took the medicine.

“You’re welcome, Mr. Macari. You should hire a housekeeper as soon as possible. The trick you used just now is obsolete.” Kathleen looked at him indifferently.
