Kathleen was puzzled. “So?”
“So, I'm also a man who has feelings of jealousy and anger. Or do you seriously not care the slightest bit about me?” Caleb's charming face was wearing a look of helplessness at the moment.
“Didn't you pursue me because you suspected that my brother hurt your sister? You—”
Before Kathleen could finish her sentence, Caleb pressed his cold finger on her pale lips and spoke solemnly. “I'm serious, Ms. Johnson.
So, please don't ignore my feelings. Okay?”
She frowned deeply.
He was gentle as he looked at her. “You look like you didn't get a good night's sleep, so head to my room and get some sleep. I'll investigate the case of Samuel's poisoning, and I promise to give you an explanation.”
“I'm not tired. Caleb, you're not my type. I only stayed to help you for Vivian's sake. Please don't get me wrong.” Kathleen's voice was faint and glacial.
With that, she turned to leave.
Caleb stood rooted to the spot and narrowed his eyes. As he stared at Kathleen's figure, a cold smile spread across his face.
Is she trying to make me give up? In her dreams!
In truth, Kathleen was indeed exhausted.
She returned to the car and slept inside.
When Samuel drove over to the Lewis residence and got off the car, he saw Kathleen sleeping in the car.
He wondered why she wasn't resting in the room, but he didn’t want to disturb her sleep, so he stood by the car and lit a cigarette.
“Mr. Macari, is it really okay for you to pester your ex-wife like this? She told me before that you're sticking to her like the plague and she can't avoid you no matter what she does.” Caleb approached.
Samuel shot daggers at him. “Do you even have the right to talk to me about this?”
Caleb froze upon hearing that.
“If you don't, you should just shut up. Know your place.” The gleam in
Samuel's eyes was frosty.
Caleb mocked, “Samuel, if Kathleen is still in love with you, she wouldn't have thrown herself into my arms.”
Samuel snorted. “Thrown herself into your arms? She's not in love with you.”
Caleb stared at him indifferently. “How do you know she's not? The truth is that I'm way better than you. At least I was never blind.”
Samuel merely glowered at Caleb and continued smoking wordlessly.
He didn't feel like conversing with the man. All he wanted was to wait until Kathleen woke up.
Caleb, who was irritated to see him standing there, strode over and grasped the collar of his fine white shirt. “Samuel Macari, you're really annoying, you know that? She and I are already dating.”
Samuel's deep eyes turned icy. “She'd never do something like that.”
At that moment, the car window was wound down.
Kathleen cleared her throat and asked, “What are you guys doing?”
Why are they fighting again?
“Kate, Mr. Macari doesn't believe that we're dating. Why don't you tell him yourself?” Caleb narrowed his eyes.
Kathleen looked at Samuel's abstinent and elegant face. “Samuel, Caleb's right. We are indeed dating.”
“Do you think I'll believe you?” Samuel frowned.
If they really are dating, why would Caleb let Kathleen sleep in the car?
Kathleen got off the car and stood in between of the two men.
She then linked arms with Caleb. “Samuel, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other. You should leave.”
A dangerous glint flashed across Samuel's gaze as his eyes turned bloodshot.
He refused to believe that Kathleen would fall in love with Caleb.
No way! This is just impossible!
“Samuel, if you still don't believe me..." Kathleen paused and stood on her tiptoes before planting a kiss on Caleb's cheek. She then continued, “How about now?”
All the color drained from Samuel's face.
Caleb, on the other hand, was dumbfounded but oveijoyed at the same time.
Samuel's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at Kathleen in utter despair.
She looked at his charming and pale face. “Samuel, stop holding on to the past. I'm begging you. What should I do to make you give up on me? I'm so tired. I fell in love with you and look where that got me? After losing my child, every day of my life had been like a living hell. Can you please consider my feelings?”
Heartbroken, Samuel looked at her and said hoarsely, “Okay. I understand now. I won't disturb you anymore.”
There was nothing else he could do.
