chapter 12

Samuel read Nicolette’s message and frowned. Then, he texted: I have found you a bone marrowmatch. All we have to do is wait for the donor to say yes. Nicolette was surprised and asked: Whydidn’t you tell me earlier? Seeing that, Samuel replied: I wanted to wait for the donor to agree beforetelling you. She questioned: Did the donor ask for anything? Does the donor want money or ahouse and a car? Samuel answered: It’s complicated. Anyway, you don’t have to worry. I’ll handle it.Nicolette texted: Okay, Samuel. I trust you. After seeing that, Samuel wrote: You should get somerest. I’ll head over in the morning. Nicolette responded: Okay. With that, Samuel put down his phoneand looked at Kathleen’s delicate and pale face coldly. What am I supposed to do to get her toagree to donate her bone marrow to Nicolette? Is not getting a divorce the only way? Samuel staredat Kathleen’s face for a while and suddenly realized that he didn’t detest living the rest of his lifewith her. However, he liked Nicolette more. Thus, he didn’t have a choice. When Kathleen woke up,Samuel had already left. She walked out of the room. Seeing that, Maria, the housekeeper, rushedover. “Mrs. Macari, you’re up. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” Kathleen nodded inreply. “Okay. You should go and wash up while I heat up the food,” Maria said thoughtfully. Kathleenhad a weak stomach, so she couldn’t eat anything that was too cold. Maria knew that better thanSamuel. With that, Kathleen turned around and went to wash up. After she was done, she sat at thedining table. Maria had prepared a western-style breakfast. However, when Kathleen smelled thesmell of milk, she felt nauseous. She hurriedly covered her mouth and ran into the bathroom. WhenMaria saw that, she was worried. “Mrs. Macari, what’s wrong?” Maria asked. “My stomach is notfeeling well. Maria, I don’t like the western-style breakfast. Can you prepare something else forme?” Kathleen said impassively. In the past, she ate the same type of breakfast every day just toaccommodate Samuel. In fact, she hated it. Kathleen much preferred warm food. “Okay.” Marianodded and said, “I’ll go prepare some pasta for you.” “All right.” With that, Kathleen quickly rinsedher mouth and walked out of the bathroom. Meanwhile, Maria swiftly cooked a bowl of pasta for her.“Mrs. Macari, did you visit the hospital to replace out why your stomach was unwell?” Maria askedmeaningfully, hinting at something. “You and Mr. Macari are young, so you might not have

experience in some areas.” She was trying to sound subtle. “Maria, I’m not pregnant. I did visit thedoctors, and they told me that it was because my stomach is weak,” Kathleen explained. After Mariarealized that she had misunderstood the situation, she smiled awkwardly and apologized, “Sorry,Mrs. Macari. I saw you feeling nauseous and assumed that it was morning sickness.” “I know.”Kathleen smiled softly and said, “Maria, don’t tell Samuel. Otherwise, he’ll get worried and force meto get it checked out at the hospital. If that happens, I’ll be forced to eat a whole bunch of medicineagain.” “Okay.” Maria nodded. “You can get back to work now. I’ll put the plate and cutlery in thesink after I’m done,” Kathleen said. “Okay.” Maria knew that Kathleen liked to be alone. Thus, shesaid, “Mrs. Macari, I’ll go do the laundry.” “Go ahead,” Kathleen replied. With that, Maria turned andleft. Kathleen then silently finished her pasta. She still remembered what she had said to Samueland remembered that she was about to get a divorce from him that day. Hence, after she finishedher breakfast, she put her household registry and marriage certificate into her bag and left thehouse. Halfway through the journey, she called Samuel and said, “I’ve arrived.” “What do youmean?” Samuel frowned. “I’m at City Hall,” Kathleen responded. “Didn’t we agree to get a divorceso that you and Nicolette can finally be together? As for your grandmother, we will tell her after sherecovers.” “I’m not free today,” Samuel replied coldly. “Then when will you be free?” Kathleen askedgrimly. “Give me a date.” “Are you in a rush to divorce me?” He sounded displeased. “Aren’t you theone who is anxious to get a divorce?” Kathleen was frustrated. “Who was the one who forced me totell your grandmother about our divorce? Yet, now you are saying that I’m the one who is rushing toget a divorce.” “You haven’t signed the divorce papers yet,” Samuel replied coldly. “The house andthe money that I’ve promised you will only take effect after you sign the papers.” “Haha.” Kathleencouldn’t help but laugh mockingly at herself. “Samuel, do you think that I married you for yourmoney because I’m an orphan?” “Why else?” he asked. His words were as hurtful as ever. Hearingthat, Kathleen felt as if her heart had shattered into pieces. “Turns out that in your eyes, I am just agreedy woman.” Is Kathleen greedy? I don’t think so. She has never asked me for anything, andshe never wanted anything. The things that I gave her were all out of my own will. Perhaps it isbecause she is too sensible and well-behaved, or maybe it’s because she is good in bed. In short, I

want to give her the best of everything. “Samuel, I don’t want anything from you. I don’t even wantyou as my husband anymore. Why would I want your things?” Kathleen buried her face in her coat.Then, in a soft but cold voice, she said, “Stop wasting time and come over so we can get a divorce!”She was fed up. With a darkened face, Samuel thought. How dare she order me around? “I’m notgoing!” With that, he hung up the phone. Kathleen was speechless. “Kathleen?” Benjamin neverthought he would bump into her at City Hall. Kathleen was slightly taken aback. “Benjamin? Whyare you here?” “Why are you here?” Benjamin asked her the same question. “I’m here to deal withsome affairs.” Kathleen was embarrassed to tell him that she was at City Hall to get a divorce.“Well, I’m here to investigate a criminal’s household registry for a case,” Benjamin explained. “Haveyou finished dealing with your affairs?” “No.” Kathleen sighed and said, “I have to come and dealwith it next time.” After a moment of hesitation, Benjamin asked, “It’s almost noon. May I treat you tolunch?” “Okay.” Kathleen nodded. “But you have to let me treat you. Consider it as a token ofappreciation for saving my life.” “There’s no need to be so courteous.” Benjamin smiled and said,“My car is that way.” “Let’s go.” Kathleen smiled sweetly. With that, Benjamin and Kathleen left theCity Hall. “Is your leg feeling better?” Benjamin questioned. “It’s much better,” Kathleen replied. “Itdoesn’t hurt anymore.” “That’s good to hear.” Benjamin focused on the road as he drove, andKathleen noticed that he had a sharp jawline. “What do you want to eat?” “Anything except forwestern food.” At that moment, Kathleen no longer liked cold and dry food. “Okay.” Later, Benjamintook Kathleen to a restaurant that sold eastern food. They ordered a few simple dishes. Then, hewatched Kathleen eat affectionately. She still munches on her food adorably like a squirrel, just likewhen she was a kid. “Kathleen, what are you doing for a living?” Benjamin asked. “I amunemployed,” Kathleen replied. “However, that’s going to change soon.” After hearing that,Benjamin pursed his lips. “Kathleen, I heard everything last night. You and Samuel…” “We aregoing to get a divorce soon.” Kathleen knew that Benjamin was a policeman, so there was nothingthat he couldn’t replace out. With just some digging around, he could easily replace out about herrelationship with Samuel. “Back when your parents passed away, the Macari family took you in andraised you. I never thought that you would get married to their son, Samuel.” The expression on

Benjamin’s face suddenly turned grim. “However, why are you getting a divorce?” Kathleen is kindand perfect. Whoever marries her is lucky. I can’t believe that Samuel can be so ungrateful. Howcan I let anyone bully my precious Kathleen, who I adore with all my heart?
