Kathleen was shocked.

She turned around and saw Christopher. “Oh, Christopher, it’s you.”

Christopher smiled. “Did something happen between you and Samuel?”

“Why do you think so?” Kathleen blinked innocently.

She had tender features with a pair of eyes that sparkled.

“The Yoegers told me Nicolette’s back.” Christopher was very straightforward.

The smile on Kathleen’s face slowly faded. “So everyone knows about it already.”

Everyone in the Yoeger family knew that Kathleen was married to Samuel.

Though Rose Yoeger, the legitimate daughter of the Yoeger family, did not like Nicolette, she liked Samuel.

She had turned up at Samuel and Kathleen’s wedding and insulted Kathleen, saying the latter was overestimating herself for thinking she could turn her life around by being a replacement.

Back then, Kathleen had indeed overestimated herself.

She had thought that she could turn her unlucky life around.

However, life is not something a person can control.

When Christopher saw Kathleen’s dejected look, his heart ached.

He raised his arm, wanting to pat her head. In the end, he only placed it on Snowy.

“Kate, you can come to me if you need any help.” His voice was gentle. “I’ll do whatever I can to help you, just like old times.”

Kathleen tilted her head, frowning. “Christopher, what are you talking about?”

She did not understand what he was saying.

Christopher stared at her, hesitant with his words. “Kathleen, ten years ago—”

“Christopher, you’re still here?” Right then, Wynnie appeared. “I’ve got some big crabs here. Bring them home to your mom. I’m sure she’ll like them.”

“Okay, Aunt Wynnie.” Christopher nodded, reaching out to take the box of crabs from Wynnie.

“Drive safely,” Wynnie reminded.

Christopher nodded again. “Don’t worry, Aunt Wynnie. You should head inside.”

“Okay.” Wynnie glanced at Kathleen and turned around to enter the house.
