Divorce Anxiety

Chapter 290 At A Disadvantage

Kathleen hugged Frances, feeling moved. “Granny…”

Frances caressed Kathleen’s face. “Good girl. I promise I’ll never make you suffer.”

Meanwhile, Samuel silently watched the scene of the grandmother and granddaughter hugging each other by the side.

Frances smiled faintly and said, “All right. Could you wait over there? I’d like to have a word with Samuel.”

“Okay.” Kathleen nodded obediently and scooted to the side.

Knowing Frances had something to say to him, Samuel walked over. “Old Mrs. Yoeger, is there something you’d like to tell me?”

“Samuel, stop clinging onto Kate,” Frances advised. “Though both of you never told me about it, you were the one who kidnapped her, right?”

Samuel said nothing.

“Samuel, I’m not forcing you to leave Kate. I just hope you can consider my advice,” Frances said solemnly. “After all, I’ve known you since you were a kid. I was utterly heartbroken when you told me you liked Nicolette back then. Although you’ve seen her true colors now, I hope you can let Kate regain some of her freedom.”

Samuel’s eyes darkened. “Old Mrs. Yoeger, you don’t have to do this. My relationship with Kate is real. She didn’t promise to be with me because of how I clung to her. I won’t force her into anything in the future, but we have to walk this path together, as we have a common objective now.”

“All right.” Frances knew there was no point in saying anything more. “Both of you are adults, and you have your own ideas. I just hope that you won’t harm Kate, whatever decision she makes. It doesn’t matter if you can’t give her your blessing.”

That was enough to make her grateful.

Samuel croaked, “I won’t hurt her.”

No matter how vicious and extreme he was, he would never harm Kathleen.

He loved her with all his heart.

“I’m going to bring Kate to the Yoeger residence for a few days,” Frances said softly.

A cold gleam flashed across his eyes. “I know.”
