Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 80

Samuel turned and went into the bedroom Kathleen had just had her bath and was dressed in alight pinkish silk bathrobe. A beautiful silhouette could be vaguely seen, which accentuated herwomanly figure.Samuel stood behind her and sniffed. “You smell good."Kathleen blushed. “Go andtake your shower.”"All right.” Samuel quickly planted a kiss on Kathleen's cheek and went into thebathroom.As for Kathleen, she went straight to bed after blow-drying her hair.Samuel took a quickshower and was done in just ten minutes.He then went to the bed and embraced her.Kathleenstared at his Adam's apple then closed her eyes.”Do you want to go and try out the weddingdresses tomorrow?” Samuel asked in a hoarse voice."Okay.” Kathleen nodded."Promise?” Samuelgrinned."Yes.” Kathleen smiled. I'm not saying that I don't want to. Why does he have to doubleconfirm with me?Little did she know that Samuel was lacking peace of mind. Perhaps he felt guiltythat he hadn't done what Kathleen wanted him to do and that he had lied to her.If she ever foundout the secret, she would be furious.Samuel couldn't imagine what it would be like if Kathleen wasmad. So, he could only do everything he could to make her happy. He could only pray that shewouldn't be mad at him and disappear from his life if the secret was revealed.The next day, Samuelwoke up early and went for a jog around the area.When he returned, he saw Kathleen still in a daze,sitting in the bed with one hand holding a tablet and the other holding a stylus pen.”Why are youawake?” Samuel frowned.”I feel that if I continue to sleep in, I will be a goner,” Kathleen saidworriedly.Even though she had been pampered for three years as Mrs. Macari, she rarely slept in.She never spoiled herself too much to avoid that if something really happened, everything couldntreturn to the way they were.Her solidity made him feel bad for her. She did everything with cautionand care."There are only two of us in the house. You don't have to be so obedient. Lie down and getsome more rest.” Samuel patted her.”Okay.” She lay down immediately.Samuel flashed a faintsmile.He took away her tablet and the stylus pen, then went for a shower.Kathleen fell asleep onceagain.When he found out she was asleep after his bath, he did not disturb her. He went downstairsafter getting dressed.Samuel ordered Sebastian, “Call me when she’s awake.”"Yes, Mr. Macari. I will.”Sebastian nodded.Samuel left the house after making sure everything was managed well.Sebastianmused. Kathleen is lucky to be doted by him. I thought Nicolette would be the one staying in thisplace. Who would have guessed it would be Kathleen instead?There was a saying, “If one is in lovewith someone, they will not fall for others. But if that person falls in love with another, that meanstheir feelings for the first person weren't as deep in the first place.” After all, Samuel was not fond ofNicolette, but he was more in love with Kathleen.When Kathleen woke up, she headed downstairsfor her meal.Sebastian informed Samuel while she was eating.A few moments later, Samuel sentsomeone to pick up Kathleen.Sebastian informed Kathleen, “Mrs. Macari, Mr. Macari is sendingsomeone to pick you up. The driver will arrive in just a few minutes.”Kathleen suddenly burped, likea cute little hamster, and paused for a second. “Why is he sending someone to pick me up?*“To tryout wedding dresses and to take wedding photos, Mrs. Macari,” Sebastian answered.I forgot aboutthat! Kathleen was taken aback.Seeing her reaction, Sebastian knew that she must have forgottenabout it.Kathleen finished her food in a hurry and went to wash up and get changed.Just when shefinished tidying herself, the car arrived. She got into the car and headed to the bridal studio.Halfwaythrough the journey, Samuel gave Kathleen a call.”Something came up. I might be ten minutes late.You can choose the dress first. I will be reaching shortly after,” Samuel said in a deep voice."Okay. Iwill wait for you.” Kathleen gave a nod."All right.” Samuel nodded.Then, Kathleen hung up thephone.Soon, she arrived at the bridal studio.It was the most luxurious bridal studio inJadeborough.They only sold their wedding dresses instead of renting them. Moreover, it would costa few million for a set of wedding photos.It was definitely a place for high-end consumers. Ordinarypeople would not be able to afford that.Kathleen walked into the bridal studio.The staff gave aquick glance at her outfit. In an instant, her eyes brightened.She then looked at Kathleen carefullyand recognized her at once.She is... Ms. Jo... What's her name again? Whatever. I just need to knowshe is Samuel Macari's wife!“Hello, Mrs. Macari. It's a pleasure to meet you,” the quick-witted staffgreeted her immediately.”Mr. Macari has made an appointment,” Kathleen stated plainly."Yes, Mrs.Macari. Are we going to pick out a wedding dress now?” She smiled.Kathleen nodded inagreement.The staff then led her to choose her wedding gown.Coincidentally, two ladies werechoosing some wedding dresses. They were sisters.”Sandra, don't you want to give it a secondthought? Robert is nothing comparable to Mr. Macari.” Yvette was frustrated Kathleen was takenaback. Is she talking about Samuel?At that moment, a familiar voice was heard from behind thecurtains. “Yvette, stop talking nonsense.””Nonsense? The Sullivan family is nothing compared to theMacari family. You used to be high school and university classmates with Mr. Macari. You two werequite close at that time. You should grab the chance and interact more with him so that you will nothave to marry an average man like Robert.” Yvette was indignant.“Samuel is already a married man. Ishould not be meddling in his matter anymore,” the woman replied.”l don’t think Mr. Macari is trulyin love with Kathleen. He still showed up at an event with Nicolette a few days ago. I don't believethat he will change his mind so soon. Perhaps he is forced by Old Mrs. Macari,” Yvette said in a coldvoice.”Stop talking about that.” A lady walked out from behind the curtain dressed in a weddingdress.It's Sandra. She used to be Samuel's classmate.lt had been ten years since Kathleen lived withthe Macari family. She was familiar with Samuel and the people around him.Sandra went to theMacari residence once to attend Samuel's twentieth birthday. Kathleen had met her before. So, sheknew for a fact that Sandra was fond of Samuel to the point of being obsessed.Initially, Sandrathought of stopping Yvette from talking about the matter as some other workers were around.Itwould be terrible if words spread. However, she didn't expect to bump into Kathleen at thestudio.She rubbed her eyes, thinking there was something wrong with her eyes.Yvette realized thatSandra was staring at the person behind her. She turned around and was stunned for a second.Sheis Kathleen, right? Last time, I couldn't see her clearly in the video. Now I've finally met her. Shereally is pretty. It's no wonder Samuel would fall in love with her.”Hello, Kathleen.” Sandra wasfeeling slightly awkward.Did she hear what we were talking about just now?“It's been a long time,Sandra,” Kathleen responded coldly.She is about the same age as Samuel. So, she is probably threeor four years older than me. But I've never liked her anyway. I think she is well aware of thereason.Yvette saw that her sister acted timidly in front of Kathleen. She frowned and asked, “Sandra,what's wrong?"“Nothing.” Sandra shook her head and said, “Let's leave.”"Why are we leaving? We'restill in the midst of trying out the wedding dresses.” She frowned and continued, “Why are you soafraid of her, Sandra? You're the daughter-in-law of the Sullivan family. As for her, she might bedumped by Samuel the next day!"
