Chapter 355 Being Polite To Her

Kathleen was surprised, as she didn’t expect Samuel to do that.

Seeing the surprised look on her face, Samuel smiled helplessly.

Kathleen, who lost her memory, didn’t seem to believe that he would do it.

“Thank you,” Kathleen responded with gratitude.

Samuel froze for a moment, then intoned, “Yeah, you’re welcome.”

Upon seeing that, Charles wanted to laugh.

Samuel probably didn’t think Kathleen would thank him so politely, considering how rude she was in the past.

Despite that, Kathleen’s reaction was not what Samuel wanted.

He thought that Kathleen would be moved.

However, she wasn’t, and her reaction was extremely dull.

“But if there is no male lovebug in Samuel’s body, then what’s going on with Yareli?” Charles was a little confused.

Samuel didn’t know either.

“Did your heart beat faster when you saw Yareli?” Kathleen looked at Samuel with curiosity in her pair of big eyes.

Shaking his head, Samuel replied coldly, “No, never.”

“Then how did you know that the female lovebug in her body affects the male lovebug in your body?” Charles questioned, puzzled.

“Because my heart was always hurting at that time,” Samuel explained. “I thought it was because of the lovebug. Never had anyone told me my heart was supposed to beat faster when I met someone with the female lovebug. Never.”

Even Yareli didn’t mention that.

Kathleen slightly furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Does your heart hurt when you see her now?”

Samuel shook his head lightly. “Not anymore.”

Giving it some thought, Kathleen uttered, “If you don’t mind, I’d like to take you to the College of Medicine. I heard that their laboratory has introduced very advanced equipment that can check whether there are any lovebugs in your body. What do you think?”

“Okay, I’ll leave it up to you, then.” Samuel looked at her deeply.

His gaze made Kathleen’s heart palpitate for some reason, so she silently avoided his gaze.

“Kate, you said that the lovebug in Samuel’s body was removed, then what’s going on with his heart?” Charles questioned out of curiosity.

Kathleen frowned and mulled over it for a while. “It’s very likely that Theodore was too rough when he removed the male lovebug, so a large amount of toxin was left in Samuel’s body. His heart didn’t hurt because he met Yareli, but because meeting Yareli triggered the toxin. His heart doesn’t hurt that much now because the toxin reduced over the years.”

Hearing her explanation, Charles nodded in understanding.

He then sneered, “This time, Yareli will be doomed.”

“Yeah, if the male lovebug is dead, the female lovebug will not survive as well, and she’ll die because of that,” Kathleen replied. “However, since she’s still alive, who knows who has the male lovebug now?”

“This woman wants to be Samuel’s wife so desperately. Now that there’s no chance for her to do so, she’ll be devastated,” mocked Charles.

He had always disliked Yareli.

Kathleen gently pulled Charles’ sleeve and said, “Charles, please stop talking.”

Charles understood what she meant.

Naturally, Samuel understood as well. “I don’t like her,” he clarified. “Never did. Not even in the past.”

There’s only one person in my heart—Kathleen.

“I have an idea, guys,” Kathleen said. “I want to replace Vanessa through Yareli.”

“This matter is up to you. I’m okay with that.” Charles then looked at Samuel and continued, “How about you, Mr. Macari?”

“You don’t need my say in this,” uttered Samuel. “I have nothing to do with her.”

Kathleen said faintly, “I don’t think so. Have you forgotten how I was accused of kidnapping Desi by those hired by Yareli? You clearly knew who the mastermind was, Mr. Macari, yet you still investigated me.”

Freezing, Samuel cleared his throat.

At the time, he didn’t know Kathleen was Gizem.

Had he known, there was no way he would investigate her.

Charles looked at Samuel meaningfully.

“I can explain,” responded Samuel.

“Forget it,” replied Kathleen flatly. “I will handle Yareli myself.”

Fixing her gaze on her, Samuel said nothing.

A hint of coldness flashed across Kathleen’s charming face. “As for other matters, we’ll talk about it next time.”

Samuel and Charles nodded.

Samuel stayed at Kathleen’s mansion and had a meal there before returning to Florinia Manor.

Even when he was alone when he reached home, he had spent the whole afternoon with Kathleen and the children, so he felt very satisfied.

When he was about to reach the gate of Florinia Manor, he noticed Yareli standing there, looking into the distance.

He furrowed his eyebrows deeply.

When the gate opened, he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car in.

Yareli had been eagerly waiting for him, but when she saw how he didn’t even stop and drove right in, she felt immensely nervous.

From the beginning until now, Samuel had always been indifferent toward her.

Now that Kathleen had returned, Yareli knew Samuel would not even spare her a glance.

Even so, she still wanted to give it a try.

After all, she had liked him since she was a child.

At that time, when Samuel was deceived by Nicolette, the former only had his eye on the latter, so there was nothing Yareli could do.

When Diana showed up and joined hands with Frances to send Nicolette away, Yareli thought her chance had come.

Who would have thought that Diana only did what she did just for Kathleen?

Everyone in Jadeborough knew that Diana loved Kathleen.

She treated Kathleen like her own granddaughter, which made all the daughters from rich families jealous.

With Diana in charge, it would be easy to marry Samuel.

It just didn’t occur to her that Samuel had never forgotten about Nicolette until the latter came back.

However, even if Nicolette returned, she was already doomed to fail because Samuel had been living with Kathleen for three years.

Both of them had already done what they were supposed to do, which just showed that Samuel had never hated Kathleen.

Hence, Yareli knew Nicolette would lose.

However, even with Nicolette’s failure, Yareli didn’t expect the relationship between Samuel and Kathleen to fall apart.

Even after a year since Kathleen came back, their relationship would never go back to the way it used to be.

Because of that, Yareli was always prepared for the storm.

It was until Vanessa told Yareli that she could use the parasitic worm to make Samuel fall for her that she happily agreed.

Although she knew the parasitic worm was deadly, it was worth it for her, as long as she could get Samuel.

However, even with the female lovebug, she noticed Samuel was still unfazed by her whenever they met.

Yareli had asked Lauren about this before.

The latter told her that the effect of the lovebug varied from person to person.

Even if Samuel was not attracted to Yareli, at least his life was in her hands.

Everybody was afraid of death, so Yareli used that card to threaten Samuel and ask him to marry her.

Alas, the man still refused.

Ever since she was a child, she had harbored feelings for Samuel.

Hence, she would do anything for him.

However, just when she was so close to getting him, Kathleen made a comeback. How could she possibly live with that?

That was why she came to Samuel—to threaten him.
