“W-What?” Kathleen was flabbergasted.

Christopher let out a chuckle. “Are you surprised?”

She nodded.

“I was just joking.” Christopher’s lips curled into a smile. “What I mean to say is, a friend is an extra pair of hands for support, isn’t it?”

He knew that he could not make his intentions clear right now, as Kathleen was not divorced from Samuel yet.

 

Kathleen was someone who held onto her morals strongly, and so was he.

They respected each other, so they would not put each other in an awkward situation.

Essentially, both of them were full of pride.

Prideful people like them would never allow others to point fingers at them.

Christopher wanted to confess his feelings to Kathleen only after she was divorced from Samuel.

As for the baby in her stomach, he could treat it like his own child since she was the mother, after all.

“To be honest, Samuel and I have an agreement.” Kathleen lowered her gaze, and her expression was calm. “We promised to not divorce if we both feel that we can remain with each other after a month. However, it was not until that day at home, when I saw how condescending and harsh Samuel was when objecting to me attending Old Mrs. Yoeger’s birthday dinner, that I finally understood. He looks down on me from the bottom of his heart.”

She would not be maintaining this unequal marriage anymore.

Christopher’s face darkened. “Kathleen, you shouldn’t belittle yourself. The Macari family and I have never thought that you’re inferior to others.”

“Chris, I’m well aware of how kind you, Grandma, and the rest are to me.” Kathleen smiled. “Samuel is responsible for his own actions, so I won’t hold a grudge against you all. However, I feel like leaving this place after I’m divorced from Samuel.”

“Where do you want to go?” he asked.

“I’m thinking of going to my granny’s house.” Kathleen took a sideways glance at him. “Don’t tell anyone.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t.” Christopher shook his head.

He was delighted that she could open up to him like this.

“Is there anyone else in your granny’s house?” Christopher continued.

“No.” Kathleen replied calmly, “My mom told me there are many flowers in my granny’s house. The flowers will come to full bloom in the summer and are extremely beautiful. I’d like to visit the place that even my mom missed.”

Nodding, he said, “I understand.”

“Therefore, I’ll simply look on in silence regardless of whether Samuel messes around with me or gets angry at me. I don’t want to torture myself anymore.” Kathleen said flatly, “He’s not worth it. I guess I’ve wasted ten years of my youth on the wrong person.”
