Divorce Anxiety

It was seven o’clock at night.

Wynnie had brought Kathleen some food.

She gave Kathleen a big portion. “Here’s yours.”

Then, Samuel received the smaller portion. “And here’s yours.”

Samuel was left speechless.

Wynnie explained, “Well, I only made an extra portion in light of your rescue efforts today. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be getting any food. Not even a bowl of soup.”

Reluctant to speak, Samuel remained silent.

Kathleen saw that Samuel was slightly depressed, so she said to Wynnie, “Mrs. Macari, I was saved today all thanks to Samuel.”

“Oh. Kate has put in some good words for you. I’ll reward you with a bowl of soup later,” Wynnie muttered slowly.

“Hah!” Samuel laughed in disdain. “Thank you, my queen. Thank you, my princess.”

Wynnie scoffed, “I’m your queen, but she’s not your princess. Keep your slick tongue to yourself.”

Samuel decided to shut his mouth as he dined.

Wynnie patted Kathleen’s head, slightly concerned. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Kathleen nodded.

“That’s good.” Wynnie furrowed her brows. “Mom was furious when she learned about this. She mentioned that she’ll make time for poker tomorrow. She plans on telling her poker friends about this incident. Don’t worry. The news will spread like wildfire.”

Kathleen asked, “Mrs. Macari, is that necessary?”

“Of course it is! They have wronged you,” Wynnie replied seriously.

Kathleen was grateful, but she didn’t want to trouble them.

Wynnie had a good look at Kathleen before taking a glance at Samuel. She felt at ease.

After Kathleen finished her meal, Wynnie tidied up the table and prepared herself to leave.

“I’ll see you out.” Samuel got up to send Wynnie off.
