Divorce Anxiety

Chapter 218 Close Friend

Kathleen nodded.

With her brows furrowed, Gemma asked, “So you two are cousins, right?”

“Yes.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “But I refuse to acknowledge her as my cousin.”

“Right! Someone like her isn’t good enough to be your cousin. No wonder there’s a resemblance between you and Nicolette.”

Kathleen replied calmly, “Yes. I even became her replacement back then.”

Samuel cleared his throat, trying to soothe the awkwardness.

As though she had sensed something, Gemma replied, “I’ll be on duty tonight, so I’ll take care of your granny for you.”

“Gem, thank you,” Kathleen expressed her gratitude.

“There’s no need to thank me.” Looking into Kathleen’s eyes, Gemma said, “Look at your dark circles. They look so bad. Hurry and go home to have some rest.”

“All right. I’ll get going now.” Kathleen nodded.

“Okay. Be careful on your way home,” reminded Gemma.

Kathleen gave a slight nod and tugged at Samuel before leaving.

After leaving the hospital, Kathleen and Samuel got into a Maybach.

Samuel let out a cough and said, “I’ve never taken you as a replacement before. Never.”

He could ensure that, at least.

Although Kathleen and Nicolette resembled one another, and sometimes he had also wondered why they looked so alike, he had never taken Kathleen as Nicolette’s replacement.

Pursing her red lips, Kathleen replied, “It doesn’t matter anymore.”

In a deep voice, Samuel muttered, “Kate, if I had taken you as her replacement, I would’ve only disliked you more.”

Kathleen shot him a sideways glance.

“I know myself well, and I think you do too.” Samuel’s voice was hoarse. “If I couldn’t accept how you resemble Nicolette, I wouldn’t have married you.”

Initially, he married Kathleen due to pressure from Diana.
