Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

Chapter 329

Severing All Ties If You Do Not Apologize Federick, too, thought Levi was being foolish, but he concluded that Levi must really like Gizem to thwart her from becoming Desi’s stepmother. Desi’s eyes rimmed with tears. “You are my mommy!” Gizem stroked her head without saying anything, and Madeline nodded from where she stood as Federick narrowed his eyes. “Levi, you had better apologize to her,” Gizem ordered. “No.” He turned his head away in refusal. “We’ll sever all ties if you don’t apologize to her.” She issued an ultimatum. He whipped his head back and mumbled an apology, “I’m sorry, Ms. Macari.” Desi grunted and held onto Gizem more tightly, burrowing her head deeper into Gizem’s embrace. Jealousy consumed Levi as he looked at both of them. Samuel strode into the room at that moment, not realizing that there was another person in the room, and Gizem could feel the beginnings of a headache.

Levi glanced at Samuel and smiled. “Mr. Macari, your daughter is pestering my girlfriend to be her stepmother.” He was hinting at Samuel to do something about Desi’s behavior. Federick snickered at Levi. He’s a grown man, but he’s actually snitching on a kid. Samuel walked over to Desi, who pouted piteously, “Daddy.” He knew she wanted a mommy, but Gizem wasn’t her mommy. “Come here, Desi.” Samuel lifted her in his arms and shot Levi a cold look. “I apologize for my daughter’s misbehavior. I’ll talk to her about it.” Desi looped her arms around Samuel’s neck, buried her face in his neck, and sobbed quietly.

her tomorrow?” “Sure.” Madeline nodded meekly and waved

you’ll still be staying in our house after you’re discharged.” Gizem hesitated, her eyes darting to Samuel, who looked as impassive as ever. He wasn’t looking at her; instead, his attention was fully focused on Desi. “We’ll see about that.” Gizem pursed her lips. “You have to promise me, or I won’t leave.” Desi

Ms. Zabinski?” Her mood improved immediately. “Yeah,” Gizem acknowledged. Desi shot a smug look at Levi and huffed, leaving him speechless. Samuel carried Desi and left the room. Gizem slanted a look at Levi. “Why would you pick a fight with a little girl?” “I don’t like it when she hounds you.” He took a seat on the bed. “It’s inconvenient for you to stay at the Macari residence. Why don’t you come and live with me?” “We don’t have that kind of relationship, Levi. I’m not going to bother you. I know you like me, but until I regain my memories and identity, I won’t like anyone else,” she explained. He said sadly, “But will you consider being with me after you’ve recovered your memories?” Gizem chose not to answer his question. “You won’t because you’re in love with another man. Even your master warned me to be mentally prepared if I want to pursue you.” His voice was hoarse with emotions. “You talked to Master about this?” She was bewildered. He stated solemnly, “Of course. He’s the closest to you. Who else would I talk to

you, no matter what your name is.” She pressed on. “You don’t even care about the person I used to be?” “Does that matter? I like you regardless of who you are,” he said meaningfully. “Thank you, Levi.” She flashed a rueful smile. “I don’t want you to thank me,” he said somewhat agitatedly, instantly realizing he shouldn’t be talking to her in this manner and regretting his attitude. “Think about what I said, Gizem, okay? Don’t reject me so quickly,” he pleaded. “All right,” she agreed wryly. Levi beamed. “I’ll
