Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

Even so, Kathleen had never pulled any tricks.

She watched, quietly and sadly, as Samuel loved and pampered another woman.

She kept her emotions suppressed. When she felt sad, she merely hid herself away and cried.

She had never done anything hateful.

Until one day, Diana found out about her feelings for Samuel and saw through her.

“You silly child, why didn’t you tell me?” Diana was over the moon.

She had not asked for Kathleen’s opinion when she arranged for Nicolette to be sent away.

Using Nicolette’s life as a threat, she forced Samuel to get together with Kathleen.

Samuel compromised on the condition that Kathleen’s identity remained undisclosed.

Diana knew what Samuel was planning, but she said nothing and agreed.

Kathleen, who married Samuel amid the confusion, naturally did not mind.

She assumed she would eventually warm Samuel’s heart.

She believed that, one day, Samuel would return her feelings.

However, that day would never arrive.

No matter how much Samuel liked her, he loved Nicolette more.

Kathleen had her pride.

She refused to be the hated one.

She would leave so that the lovers could be together.

“You don’t know how much Nicolette means to me,” Samuel said solemnly. “Kathleen, even if I don’t marry her, I can’t ignore her for the rest of my life.”

Kathleen felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She knew that.

“I fell into a river when I was thirteen years old. Nicolette was the one who saved me.” Samuel looked at her with a bone-chilling coldness in his gaze. “I owe her my life.”

Kathleen froze.

This came as a surprise.

In other words, ten-year-old Nicolette had saved thirteen-year-old Samuel.

So that’s how their relationship started.

“So, it’s even less likely for you two to break up.” Kathleen’s heart ached. Her delicate face paled considerably.

Samuel did not say a word. He just looked at her silently.

After a long while, he spoke. “Kathleen, the one I like now is you.”
