Divorce Anxiety

Chapter 462 The Point Of No Return

Mila fixed her gaze on Samuel. “This way, please.”

She intentionally led them to a table as far as possible from Kathleen, fearing that things would turn ugly.

Samuel trailed behind Mila to the table and sat down.

“I didn’t expect you to bring your friend over, too,” were Mila’s words.

Samuel merely gave a flat response. “Mm.”

Then came Ashley’s declaration, “I’m not just Samuel’s friend, Mdm. Hunt. More accurately, I’m her girlfriend.” She wore a smug look at that.

The corner of Mila’s lips curled upward. “Oh, my. I hope I didn’t offend you with my choice of words, Ms. Zeller. I was just trying to stay neutral and as future-proof as I possibly can be. It’s just so I don’t have to owe anyone any explanation if something were to crop up in the future. Don’t get worked up, okay?”

“Oh, no. I also didn’t mean anything else, Mdm. Hunt.” Ashley’s words clearly implied otherwise.

“That’s good to know.” Flashing a half-smile, Mila quickly changed the topic. “What would you like to eat, Samuel? Do you have any cravings?”

“My mom asked me to support your business. I’ll leave it to you,” uttered Samuel placidly.

To be honest, he was reluctant to show up at first.

It was Wynnie who had forced him to do so.

No matter his amnesia, he would never go against her wishes.

She was his mother, after all, so he had to do her bidding.

A faint smile appeared on Mila’s face. “Okay, I’ll serve you something nice, then.”

Samuel gave a nod. His gaze unwittingly landed on Kathleen and her group.

At that time, Kathleen was chatting with Levi. “Why don’t you try and talk to her nicely?”

“But she’s been giving me the cold shoulder.” Levi sounded aggrieved. “Why don’t you help me, Kate?”

“Uh… Okay,” said Kathleen as she massaged her temples. “If I happen to ruin it somehow, don’t come after me.”

Levi winced on that note. “Could it get any worse than what I’m facing right now?” he commented.

“No, indeed.” Kathleen just had to admit it.

Levi fell speechless at that.

Looking at that intimate duo happily chit-chatting, the look in Samuel’s eyes darkened slightly.

I never should’ve stepped into this restaurant in the first place.

To make matters worse, Kathleen was all smiles when Samuel laid his gaze on her from afar.
