Divorce Anxiety Chapter 266Chapter 266 She Is Dead
novelbin“I’m glad you understand then.” Kathleen sounded a little exasperated at that point. In response, a
stiflingly grim aura started exuding from Samuel as his gaze turned frosty. He was reluctant to let her
go. Kathleen soon poured herself another glass of wine seemingly more annoyed than usual. Ugh.
D’mn it!
I can’t believe that old bat is eyeing Samuel! “Stop drinking.” Samuel ushered while grabbing her wrist
That sparked even more displeasure in Kathleen, who snapped. “I want to Even so, Samuel did not
loosen his vice-like grip. Kathleen shot a sideways glare at him, her lustrous eyes reddening by the
second. “What gives you the right to order me around, Samuel? Who do you think you are?” That
stunned Samuel into silence.
Still, her sardonic words did not stop here. “Don’t assume there’s hope for you just because I’m smiling
at you. Did you know? One year ago, on the night Nicolette restrained me to the operating table, I
dreamt of my kids. They were crying, begging me not to kill them. Do you have any idea how much I
wanted all of you to die as compensation for what you guys did to my kids?” All the muscles in
Samuel’s body tensed up as he listened to her words.
“Still, you never listened to me. All you ever concerned about was your precious Nicolette’s ramblings
about how she desperately needed to live…” Kathleen continued before sighing and chuckling coldly.
At that moment, she could feel waves after waves of despair crashing over her. Samuel gazed at her,
his eyes full of worry.
Kathleen got to her feet, but the moment she did so she started swaying due to her drunken state.
“Stop involving yourself in my life. Samuel. Do you know how incredibly lonely get when the daily hustle
and bustle ends and I’m left all alone? She sniffled before continuing “If I hadn’t married you back then I
could’ve gotten myself a loving husband and birthed him a baby.We could’ve lived happily ever after.” By then, Samuel had also stood up. He stretched out his arms
protectively, fearing that Kathleen would fall over. However, she swatted his hand away. “Samuel, my
heart is bruised and battered. I can no longer find it within me to love you anymore. Please understand.
I’ll meet with Isaac alone tomorrow, so you don’t have to accompany me. With that, she turned to leave
with wobbly steps. A moment later, however, Samuel closed in from behind her and grabbed her waist.
His lowered voice echoed in her ear with a solemn weight. “I’ll stay out of your life starting from
tomorrow. I promise.” “Good,” Kathleen replied, nodding Samuel’s gaze hardened bleakly as it locked
onto Kathleen’s eyes. Does Charles’ godfather have something to do with her sudden change of
attitude?
I don’t want to force her to tell me. If any issue arises. I’ll resolve it for her in the dark. She won’t have
to know. “Since we can’t see each other when tomorrow comes. I want you to follow me for now,”
uttered Samuel as he led her away. Since there was no strength left in Kathleen’s body, Samuel
wrapped his arm around her and guided her to the door. Once they got there, he helped put her coat on
before leading her outside.
At that moment, Kathleen felt a pounding headache ripping through her skull. She cast a perplexed
gaze at Samuel, not knowing what he was up to. From her current angle, she had the perfect view of
Samuel’s chiseled jaw. Some time passed before she lowered her head and burrowed deeper into his
embrace. “Kate, look at the sky.”
Samuel’s baritone voice suddenly rang out. The sky? Kathleen looked up at once, She noticed the
many floating lanterns rising in the distance their luminance brilliantly sparkling across the inky sky. Her
jaw fell agape as her eyes widened in shock. Samuel hugged her from behind before speaking in his
husky voice.
“I remember that one time after our wedding when you watched the floating lantern scene in Tangled.
You couldn’t keep your eyes off the main characters as they watched the lanters in their boat so Ifigured you’d like to see the star-like lanterns tonight” Tears sprang to Kathleen’s eyes.
Upon seeing that a miserable feeling rose within Samuel Kathleen wiped her tears while stating “We
can’t go back to how things were. Samuel Why are you talking about the past suddenly? Haven’t you
heard of the saying it’s too late to amend things? “I was too arrogant back then and assumed I could
control everything in the world.
Now, it seems that I’m nothing more than an ordinary person Samuel replied self-deprecatingly. Tears
kept flowing from Kathleen’s eyes as she gazed at the glowing lanterns. Bang! Bang! Bang! Just then,
fireworks broke out amidst the darkness, taking Kathleen by surprise.
He even prepared fireworks? A grin grew on Samuel’s face as he watched her dazed expression.
“Happy New Year, Katie. With that, he leaned in to kiss her cheek Kathleen remained as still as a
statue The fireworks went on as Samuel hugged her tighter. “In this coming year, I’m going to fulfill all
your wishes.
Since your first wish is to never see me again, I won’t appear before you starting tomorrow.” Kathleen
simply nodded in response to his words. Still, his tone remained gentle as he said. “But there’s one
thing you need to remember. I’m only a call away if you ever need me, Kate. I’ll rush over in an instant
Don’t ever forget that.”
Kathleen nodded again. To that a satisfied grin spread across Samuel’s face. “All right. You should
head back to bed now that the fireworks are over. It was only then that Kathleen turned around,
revealing her tear-streaked face. The sight of that made Samuel’s chest lurch in pain These days, even
a sorrowful look without tears from her was enough to make his heart ache. “I’ll be on my way then.”
Kathleen then walked away.
Left behind, Samuel watched her departing figure with a sharp twinge in his chest. At this point, all he
could do was keep an eye on her from afar until things unfolded themselves. It did not take long forKathleen to return to her room before she lay sprawled out on the bed. While she was the one who
insisted that Samuel keep his distance from her, she could not deny the grueling ache she felt.
After drowning in her sorrows for some time, she fell asleep It wasn’t until noon the next day that she
woke up with a raging headache. Gosh. I shouldn’t have drank so much last night… Kathleen sat up on
her bed when her phone coincidentally rangShe picked it up and saw Charles’ name as the caller ID
“Charles?
What’s up?” she asked while massaging her temples. “K-Kate… Something sounded odd about
Charles’ voice as he failed to finish his words “What is it?” Kathleen’s brows drew close “V-Vivian is…”
Grief overwhelmed Charles so much that he sounded like he was on the verge of tears.
“S-She’s dead.” “What?” The news shocked Kathleen, who instantly probed. “How did she die?” “She
hung herself… in her room…. Charles’s hoarse voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Caleb’s
emotionally unstable right now, and we need you here.” “Okay, I’ll be right there!” Kathleen hurriedly got
ready.
An hour later, she arrived at the Lewis residence dressed in a simple outfit There, the housekeepers
replaced all cheerful decorations from the gate with dark-colored decorations as an indication of
mourning. Kathleen soon entered the residence, noticing that a mourning section had already gotten
set up inside “Get lost!”
Caleb’s ferocious snarl came from the second floor, adding. “My sister’s not dead! Get out of our
home!” What came next was a series of hurried footsteps. The butlers and all the housekeepers had
frantically scurried down the stairs in that instant. Seeing that, Kathleen approached them to ask,
“What’s the matter?
“Since Ms. Lewis has passed away, we asked Mr. Lewis to pick a funeral portrait of her. But he kicked
us out… explained a helpless-looking butler. Once Kathleen heard that she reached out. “Let me see.”The butler then handed over a few photos of Vivian to her. These seemed to be from long ago.
But I guess there’s nothing we can do about it now. This should do.” Kathleen picked out a
sophisticated-looking photo of Vivian from the bunch. “All right. The butler nodded without a trace of
objection to her choice.
Following that Kathleen headed upstairs. Charles, who stood at the study’s door, soon came into her
view. She found it hard to speak “Charles…” In front of her, a red-eyed Charles said. “You made it
