Chapter 438 They Pay A Princely Sum

“I know.” Samuel nodded.

 

Kathleen knitted her brows. “Her aunt is Luna. Don’t you think that’s too big of a coincidence? We’ve found that Luna’s the culprit, and now her niece is your savior. It’s as if Ashley will surely get involved if we want to get back at Luna. Things will get super complicated.”

“I understand your concerns. Don’t worry. I won’t make any mistakes again,” he promised.

It wasn’t easy for me to be with Kathleen again. How could I possibly make the same mistakes as in the past? Then again, Kathleen’s right. I find Ashley suspicious too.

 

“Go to sleep,” she said gently.

“Mm.” He shut his eyes and placed her hand on his chest. “Kate, the only feeling I have toward Ashley is gratitude. You’re right. She did come looking for me, and I told her I could give her money and other monetary forms of repayment. I told her that’s all I can offer.”

Kathleen’s eyes, which were initially closed, fluttered open. “Did she ask for other forms of repayment?”

Samuel remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

She raised a brow. “Interesting. What did she want?”

“She wants to be my little sister,” he admitted.

Kathleen was dumbstruck.

“I didn’t agree to it,” he muttered.

In fact, there was no way he would agree to it.

She turned over and stared fixedly at him. “I think Ashley’s up to no good. If she really makes a move, will you—”

“I won’t kill her. But if she messes with you, I’ll never forgive her,” Samuel said grimly.

Kathleen sighed with relief inwardly. “Okay.”

After saying that, she shut her eyes. “I hope she can accept reality.”

The next morning, Samuel received a phone call.

“Okay. Got it. Go back to the manor and help me pack my luggage,” he instructed sternly.

Kathleen was awakened by his voice. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s Nicholas. He’s gotten into some kind of trouble at Smealand. I’ll need to go there personally to settle it. I might stay there for a week.” He hugged her.

That long?
