Divorce Anxiety

Chapter 258 Another Chance

Kathleen said dryly, “No rush. I’m putting on makeup at nine because I don’t have any parts in the morning.”

Samuel pursed his lips and said, “All right. You may continue sleeping then. I’m going to accompany you.”

Kathleen sat up from the bed and said, “Samuel, could you ask me before you kiss me next time?”

Samuel was rendered speechless.

She wiped her lips and said, “I have multiple ways to push you away.”

She could have used medicine to render him unconscious, but she did not wish to do that.

“You surely will not agree to it if I ask. So, I’m going to rule this out.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’m going to hate you?” Kathleen asked angrily.

“You already loathe me. Who knows when I’m going to die? Better get some more kisses before I kick the bucket,” Samuel said with a half-smile.

It was Kathleen’s turn to be rendered speechless.

“We’ll talk after you eat.” Kathleen sighed to herself. She could not keep this up with Samuel any longer.

Noticing that her expression was grim, he asked, “What do you want to talk about?”

“You can’t continue pestering me like this,” she said sternly.

Samuel sat up as well as he leaned against the headboard. “I don’t want to talk about that.”

“Then why did you ask me about it?” Kathleen was enraged.

That man was getting on her nerves.

Samuel flashed a half-smile at her.

Kathleen pinched her glabella and muttered, “Samuel, I hope you could be more serious.”

She thought she was being really patient with him.

Samuel trained his eyes on her and uttered, “I am being very serious right now, Kate.”

She put her hand down and said, “Samuel, let me be honest with you. The previous three-year marriage has scarred me for life. I can’t just move on just because you tell me you love me. You will never understand how terrified I am every time I sit in your car late at night. I am always plagued by this fear of not knowing just when you’re going to throw me out of the car.”

Samuel was stumped.
