“I won’t touch Nicolette,” Samuel said with a cold voice.

Only Kathleen could enchant him.

However, Kathleen refused to believe him.

She closed her eyes. “Let me get out of bed. I still have lots of things to do today.”

“What’s there to do today?” Samuel asked.

 

“I have to visit Benjamin at the hospital in the morning, then I’m going to visit Madeline in the afternoon,” Kathleen explained.

“What about me?” Samuel buried his face in the crook of her neck. “You didn’t include me in your plans at all.”

Her time belongs to everyone else. This is infuriating!

“You’re very busy.” Kathleen hesitated. “I’ll listen to your plan then.”

“I want to have you for the entire day,” Samuel said bossily.

Kathleen took in a deep breath. “Samuel, you can’t do this. I need my own time to do my own things.”

“Then, let’s have lunch together,” Samuel relented.

He rarely compromised.

Even Kathleen was taken aback.

“Okay,” Kathleen agreed reluctantly.

Samuel curled his lips. “Go ahead and use the bathroom. You’re slow.”

Kathleen fell speechless.

After Kathleen went in the bathroom to take her shower, Samuel went to the one in the guest room for his hot shower.

Kathleen came out of the bathroom, wrapped in her towel.

There were visible red marks on her neck and her collarbone.

Traces from the day before remained on her body.

She had fair and soft skin to begin with.

With these marks on her, she looked even more alluring.

However, she had cried so miserably the day before.

Samuel did not want to torture her any further.

He decided to wait for two more days to allow her to recuperate.

Samuel got suited and headed out for work.

Kathleen did not have to do so. Dressed in her comfortable loungewear, she got ready to begin her sketches.
