Seeing there was no response from Caleb, Kathleen unlocked the door by herself and opened it.
After getting off the car, there was a faint smile on her delicate face, which made it hard to see if she was mad or happy. “Caleb, I'm not a little girl anymore. Your domineering acts might be effective on young girls, but not on me. I'm not the slightest bit attracted by it.”
Caleb scoffed. “So, you're saying I'm pursuing a difficult woman?” “Well, not exactly. At least, it'll be difficult to pursue me. Those romantic tricks you learned from someone else are useless to me,” Kathleen said seriously. “You should go home and think about it.”
Caleb was silent for a moment before asking, “What kind of man do you like?”
“I don't know, either,” Kathleen said plainly. “Perhaps someone who likes to take it slow. My previous relationship was too tiring. I was always sacrificing myself back then. Now, I don't have the ability to continue doing that. And I think that's rather unfair for you.”
Hearing that, Caleb alighted the car.
He stood before Kathleen, leaned against the car, and crossed his arms.
“Kathleen, to me, you're only a woman. It doesn't matter if you were married or not.” He looked at her intently. “No matter what kind of person I am, I only want to give you the best in life. Though you don't like domineering men, that’s how I am. Even if you don’t like me viewing you as a little girl, I'm still older than you. To me, you're still a young lady.”
Kathleen was speechless.
So, everything I said earlier was
useless?
“Couples shouldn't be hiding things from each other.” Caleb narrowed his eyes. “At most, I'll change for you.”
Change for me?
Kathleen didn't know how to respond.
Caleb flashed her a cunning smile. “It's too cold today. Let's continue our conversation on WhatsApp, okay? Or do you plan to invite me in?”
Kathleen frowned. “No.”
Caleb snorted. “Go on in then.”
With that, Kathleen turned around and left.
Caleb smiled as he watched her retreating figure, who was putting up a fearless appearance.
After that, he entered the car and drove off.
Returning to her room, Kathleen stood by the window and looked down.
When she saw Caleb had left, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
She sat beside the bed and fell deep into her thoughts.
Is it really a good idea to use Caleb like this? On second thought, he's also using me! There's nothing bad about it.
When the next day arrived, Kathleen heard a commotion outside.
As she looked out of the window, she noticed the sounds were coming from the house next door.
It looks like the things are getting moved out of the house. Is Samuel moving out?
At that thought, she quickly put on her coat and went downstairs.
As soon as she walked out of the house, she saw a black Maybach pulled over by the side of the road.
Samuel should be in there. Has he been discharged already?
Kathleen pondered for a while.
She wanted to go over, but she hesitated.
Right then, Tyson walked out of the mansion and was surprised to see Kathleen. “Hello, Ms. Johnson.”
Kathleen nodded in response. “Is he moving out?”
Tyson cast the Maybach a subconscious glance before nodding. “Mr. Macari says he won't be disturbing you in the future.”
Really?
Kathleen felt a little strange. “Where's he moving to?”
“He's returning to Florinia Manor,” Tyson answered.
“Please tell him I'll continue to regulate his health. That's what I promised him back then,” Kathleen said calmly. “I'll send him the medicine regularly. I'll also give him a monthly examination.”
After a short pause, Tyson said, “Please hold on.”
He stepped over to the car, opened the door, and said something to Samuel, who was in the car.
Shortly after, Tyson returned.
He scratched his head. “Ms. Johnson, Mr. Macari says there's no need for that. He'll take good care of himself from now on. So, you don't have to worry about him.”
Kathleen was stunned, and she pursed her lips. “Okay. I understand.” “By the way, Mr. Macari also asked me to tell you he'll stay far away from you in the future. He won’t bother you anymore,” Tyson said helplessly.
Kathleen nodded. “All right.”
With that, she turned around and left.
Tyson felt helpless.
She doesn't understand the situation at all!
Samuel's current condition was far from great.
In fact, his eyes were red when he was telling Tyson all that.
