“I love her,” replied Samuel icily. “That’s enough.”

“I think you don’t realize how grave your mistake was back then!” yelled Christopher furiously. “You’ll make her unhappy if you keep forcing her against her wishes.”

“Got it. Thanks for your reminder.” Samuel ended the call and drove away.

Christopher frowned. What did he understand?

Christopher stopped his car outside where Kathleen was staying before calling her.

However, the call didn’t get through.

Glancing at the time, he saw that it was already eleven at night.

She’s probably asleep. After all, she’s the main chef now. I’ll just let her sleep. She must be exhausted!

Christopher’s heart ached.

Christopher rolled the windows down. “Astrid?”

“Can I get into the car?” asked Astrid softly.

After thinking about it, he nodded.

Astrid sat beside the driver’s seat and said after a short pause, “Oh no! I forgot that this is your fiancée’s seat now.”

Christopher said grimly, “It’s fine.”

Delighted, Astrid closed the car door.

“What do you want, Astrid?” demanded Christopher unhappily. “You can’t keep making things difficult for Kathleen.”

“I’m sorry. I’m just struggling to get over it,” apologized Astrid. “I simply want to know what kind of woman you like.”
