Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

Chapter 96

Steve said, “I’ll go and receive the guests. Nancy, please give Kylie a call.”

Nancy nodded and took out her phone to call Kylie.

Kathleen cast a sidelong glance at John. “John, go and boil some water. We’re going to serve them Earl Grey tea.”

John was taken aback. “But, Kate, the most expensive tea we have here is Red Hibernia.”

“The mayor loves to drink Earl Grey tea,” Kathleen explained.

“Really? How do you know that?” John asked in surprise.

Kathleen replied quietly, “I have some prior knowledge about this.”

Samuel had told her once, but that was a long time ago.

Nancy gave John a nudge. “Why do you ask so much? Quick, go and boil some water.”

“Oh, okay.” John went off to boil water as told.

Nancy looked at Kathleen. “Kylie isn’t answering her phone. What should we do?”

Kathleen knitted her brows.

She had a bad feeling that Kylie was going to play them out.

Meanwhile, John was done boiling the water and making the tea before bringing them out.

Shortly after, he asked anxiously, “Do you know who else is coming with the mayor?”

“There are eight of them including the mayor. How do we know who they are?” Nancy was still trying to get hold of Kylie on the phone.

John turned to look at Kathleen with a sheepish grin.

Kathleen frowned. “What’s the matter?”

John let out a dramatic sigh. “Out of the eight people, I know two of them very well.”

“That’s not bad. You actually know someone from the mayor’s office,” Kathleen commented.

“They are not from the mayor’s office. One of them is Samuel, and the other is Christopher.” John looked intently at Kathleen.

Kathleen was rendered speechless.

Nancy still could not get through to Kylie’s phone.
