Samuel accepted the plate, his lips twitching when he glimpsed the word written on the slice of cake.
He then fixed his gaze on Kathleen.
Kathleen was sitting next to Diana and having a delightful conversation with the latter.
From the way Diana beamed with joy, one could tell she was genuinely happy.
Samuel remained silent as he saw that.
Calvin nudged him with his shoe. “Stop looking. She’s not yours anymore.”
“Dad, do you think making fun of me is interesting?” Samuel ate the cake even though he did not enjoy desserts.
The reason was simple—Kathleen had given it to him.
“Mull it over. If it weren’t for you, my grandchildren would be calling me Grandpa by now.” Calvin felt depressed when he brought up the issue.
Whenever he was reminded of that, he felt like hitting Samuel.
It was not an easy feat to be pregnant with twins.
Yet, the children were gone.
Samuel did not say a word.
Losing the children was the biggest regret in both Kathleen and his life.
It was also a traumatic experience for the Macari family.
If the children were still alive, Samuel would already be hearing them calling him “Daddy.”
Not long after, Charles came over.
He greeted Diana and the rest nicely. However, Samuel did not receive the same treatment.
Despite that, Samuel was not bothered by Charles’ attitude.
His family members were always being mean to him anyway.
The celebration ended when everyone had the cake.
As Kathleen prepared to leave, Diana was not willing to let her go.
