Settle The Score
At the hotel, Samuel fell asleep right after he lay down. Kathleen knew that he must be exhausted. Ever
since she heartlessly left the airport that day, he hadn’t had a good sleep.
After he regained consciousness, he immediately rushed to Nardor. Kathleen, on the other hand, was
very clear-headed. She sent a message to Levi that read: I won’t be back tonight.
Levi replied: Are you with Samuel?
Kathleen: Yes.
Levi: Old Mrs. Lester told me right away after they returned. I didn’t expect you to forgive him so soon.
Kathleen: I think I’ve given him enough punishment.
Levi: That’s good to hear. I’ll inform the Lester family on your behalf, then. Kathleen: All right. Thanks.

After sending that text, Kathleen put down her phone. Samuel wrapped his arms around her slim waist
at that moment and asked in a husky voice, “You’re still awake?”
“Yeah. Go back to sleep.”
“No. Since you’re awake, I’ll keep you company,” he said lazily.
Without uttering a word, Kathleen stared at him with a faint smile. Samuel had very good-looking
features. He had prominent brow ridges, deep-set eyes, a sharp nose, and perfectly-shaped lips. Aside
from the fact that he was a bit pale, he always looked gorgeous. Reaching out, Kathleen touched his
brows and nose and smiled.

The next moment, Samuel held her hand and flipped over, pinning her under him. Kathleen was caught
off guard.
“What are you doing?” she asked nervously.
When Samuel saw the resistance in her eyes, he swallowed hard.
“I want to kiss you.” Then, he leaned down and captured her cherry-red lips. There was a growing
desire within him. He liked Kathleen too much, even when he had lost his memories. It was an
indescribable feeling.
When Ashley first mentioned that he had a wife, he knew right away that that woman must be very
important to him. After all, it was unusual for someone so aloof as him to fall for someone. The moment
he saw Kathleen afterward, the desire of having her to himself intensified.
However, he was apprehensive to do so, for fear that she would hate him. Tortured by these thoughts,
he even considered bringing Kathleen to a place no one else knew about.
A few minutes later, he finally let go of her. Kathleen could feel that her lips were swollen. There were
even tears in the corner of her eyes, making her look pitiful.
“Kate, I like you,” murmured Samuel as he kissed her eyes. Instantly, Kathleen’s ears flushed red. She
circled his neck with her arms and answered, “Yes, I know.”
Afraid that she would be repulsed, Samuel didn’t dare to do anything more. Instead, he embraced her
tightly. That was more than enough for him. Soon, he fell asleep again. The two of them woke up later
that night from hunger.
Samuel then ordered some takeout food, which was delivered to them quickly. Knowing that they were
awake, Tyson sent over a document. After scanning through it, Samuel glanced at Kathleen.
“What’s wrong?” she asked curiously.
“I told you I wouldn’t lie to you, but I think it’s better for you to see this document after you’re done with
Old Mrs. Lester’s surgery,” he said as he stared at the document in his hands.
Kathleen blinked a few times before asking, “So you think that the Lester family has no ill intentions
toward me and that Old Mrs.Lester should be saved, but my diagnosis of her condition will be affected
if I see this document? Is that right?”
Samuel nodded. “Okay. I won’t look at it now.”
Kathleen agreed right away since she trusted him. Putting down the document, Samuel hummed in
acknowledgment.
“Since I’m free these days, I’ll treat your legs,” she offered as she munched on food.
“Okay.”
“Are you going to stay in Nardor? How about your company?”
“Well, my father can manage it. He has nothing to do anyway,” Samuel said indifferently, rendering
Kathleen speechless. How could he treat his elderly father like this? At the Lester residence, Betty was
visibly disgruntled. Yvonne couldn’t help but feel amused.
“What’s wrong, Mom? Why do you look so unhappy?”
“I feel like I’ve been robbed,” grumbled Betty. Yvonne burst into laughter at her words.
“Didn’t you feel the same when I got married back then?”
“I didn’t.” Upon recalling the past, Betty admitted, “At that time, I thought that you should get married
and leave the family as soon as possible. I just couldn’t handle you anymore.”
When Yvonne was still with the family, she was a troublemaker. As her father and two elder brothers
spoiled her very much, she basically did whatever she wanted. Thus, it was a good idea to let her get
married and have someone else control her. Nevertheless, Betty was quite satisfied with her son-in-
law.
“Mom, you’re worried that Samuel would bully Kate again, aren’t you? I actually think we can’t be sure
who the real bully is.” Betty frowned upon hearing that.
“What do you mean?”
“Didn’t you notice earlier? Between the two of them, Kate is the one in control. It’s obvious that Samuel
only feels happy when Kate is happy. She’s the one who has the say,” Yvonne pointed out. After giving
it a thought, Betty still felt a little upset.
