Divorce Anxiety (Kathleen and Samuel)

Chapter 458 I Will Not Overthink

“Charles, forget about it. There won’t be anything between Samuel and me anymore.” Kathleen pulled Charles’ hand.

Furrowing his brows, Charles asked, “What do you mean?”

Kathleen gradually released her grip. “Perhaps, we shouldn’t have gotten back together from the start.”

Feeling sorry for her, Charles asked, “What did Samuel say to you?”

“Nothing. Charles, I have ways to prove my innocence, so you don’t have to worry about me,” Kathleen assured calmly before she asked, “Didn’t Wyatt come back with you?”

Knowing that Kathleen had changed the topic, Charles knew she did not want to talk about Samuel, so he replied, “We met and talked for a bit before he left.”

“What did he say?” Kathleen was curious.

“He didn’t say much but only asked me if I’m willing to side with him. But you know I don’t want to get myself involved in the matter between him and his brother.” Apparently, Charles had turned Wyatt down.

“What happened after that?”

“After that, he left without saying anything,” answered Charles.

After pondering for a brief moment, Kathleen remarked, “Charles, whether Wilbur or Wyatt becomes the leader of Blissful Sect in the future, it won’t do us any good.”

“You’re right. Unless we take over Blissful Sect, but that would cause more trouble.” Charles’s gaze darkened.

At that point, Kathleen and Samuel only wished to live a peaceful and stable life; a rather ordinary life.

“Charles, besides the two sons, Raymond has a daughter too,” came Kathleen’s implicit remark.

Knitting his brows, Charles asked, “Are you going to help Clarissa to snatch over the role as the sect leader?”

Kathleen nodded. “Both Wilbur and Wyatt will be threats to us, but Clarissa is different. If she becomes the sect’s leader, she won’t come to us to look for trouble.”

“Is she willing to become the leader, though? When her mom sent her to Blissful Sect, she said she wished Clarissa could live a peaceful life without worries.” Charles’ frown deepened.

Let’s not force her. If she
