Samuel accepted the plate, his lips twitching when he glimpsed the word written on the slice of cake.
He then fixed his gaze on Kathleen.
Kathleen was sitting next to Diana and having a delightful conversation with the latter.
From the way Diana beamed with joy, one could tell she was genuinely happy.
Samuel remained silent as he saw that.
Calvin nudged him with his shoe. “Stop looking. She's not yours anymore.”
“Dad, do you think making fun of me is interesting?” Samuel ate the cake even though he did not enjoy desserts.
The reason was simple—Kathleen had given it to him.
“Mull it over. If it weren't for you, my grandchildren would be calling me Grandpa by now.” Calvin felt depressed when he brought up the issue.
Whenever he was reminded of that, he felt like hitting Samuel.
It was not an easy feat to be pregnant with twins.
Yet, the children were gone.
Samuel did not say a word.
Losing the children was the biggest regret in both Kathleen and his life.
It was also a traumatic experience for the Macari family.
If the children were still alive, Samuel would already be hearing them calling him “Daddy.”
Not long after, Charles came over.
He greeted Diana and the rest nicely.
However, Samuel did not receive the same treatment.
Despite that, Samuel was not bothered by Charles' attitude.
His family members were always being mean to him anyway.
The celebration ended when everyone had the cake.
As Kathleen prepared to leave, Diana was not willing to let her go.
She held Kathleen's hands and said, “When you're done with shooting, come over and stay with me for a few days, will you?”
“Sure.” Kathleen nodded. “Old Mrs. Macari, I will. I promise you.”
I'm a man with elegance. If she's coming to stay over, I—
“By then, I will prohibit Samuel from coming anywhere close to the place. Rest assured.” Diana smiled.
Hearing that, Samuel was at a loss for words.
Kathleen was flushed.
“Goodbye, Old Mrs. Macari. See you, Mr. and Mrs. Macari,” she said.
“See you again. Be careful on the way back,” Diana reminded.
Soon, both Kathleen and Charles left the place.
After sending Kathleen off, Diana narrowed her eyes at Samuel. “I had wondered what motivated you to attend the event, Samuel. Don't tell me you had no idea Kate would be joining the competition today!”
“So what if I had? It's all part of my plan to get Kathleen back,” Samuel coldly responded.
“How shameless! You're the one who lost yourself when Nicolette returned. Not that just, but you even forced Katie to divorce you within three days!” Diana fumed.
Samuel did not say a word.
Don't even mention that matter again. I regret what I've done.
“Katie and Christopher are not together now, but that doesn't mean it's impossible between them. Don't be arrogant. There's no way to tell who Katie will choose at the end!” Diana coldly responded.
“That's right! Now, you've finally realized how good Kate is. Just what were you even thinking back then?” Wynnie uttered angrily.
After saying that, she led Diana back to her room.
Calvin approached Samuel with a grin.
“If you're going to say the same thing as them, save your breath,” Samuel said indifferently.
