Kathleen knitted her brows. “I don’t know.”

“Samuel, why do you need to know? You don’t plan on waiting for Kathleen when she goes to the Macari residence, do you?” Christopher sneered.

He was hinting at Kathleen about Samuel’s plan.

Kathleen was still too young and innocent, particularly for a cunning man like Samuel.

Kathleen gave Samuel a sidelong glance.

 

He’s actually playing mind games with me, but unfortunately, I won’t fall for it! Never!

“I’ll visit her when I have time. I don’t need your intervention.” Putting down the plate, Kathleen grabbed Christopher’s hand and left with the man in tow.

Samuel watched her flee with a look of dejection in his eyes.

She made no secret of her distaste for him, which sent a sharp pain to his chest.

Kathleen left the banquet with Christopher and apologized, “I’m sorry, Chris. I—”

“You don’t need to explain.” Christopher understood her completely.

Kathleen was feeling aggrieved.

Reaching out to pat her on the head, Christopher comforted, “Don’t take it to heart, Kate. You haven’t gotten used to being around him yet. You’ll be fine after you get used to it.”

“I’m so useless.” She was frustrated.

Christopher smiled faintly at her. “It’s really fine, Kate. Take it slow.”

She looked at him. “Chris, thank you for comforting me.”

“You silly girl.” Christopher flashed her a smile. “It’s getting late. I’ll send you home.”

“Aren’t you going to tell Mr. Lawson first? Wouldn’t it be rude to leave like this?” Kathleen looked at him.

Christopher replied with a faint smile, “Wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay.” Kathleen nodded obediently.

Christopher then turned to go back in.
