Chapter 12 - All Too Late

Chapter 12 In A Rush To Get Divorced

Samuel read Nicolette’s message and frowned.

Then, he texted: I have found you a bone marrow match. All we have to do is wait for the donor to say yes.

Nicolette was surprised and asked: Why didn’t you tell me earlier?

Seeing that, Samuel replied: I wanted to wait for the donor to agree before telling you.

She questioned: Did the donor ask for anything? Does the donor want money or a house 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 some rest. I’ll head over in the morning.

Nicolette responded: Okay.

With that, Samuel put down his phone and looked at Kathleen’s delicate and pale face coldly.

What am I supposed to do to get her to agree to donate her bone marrow to Nicolette? Is not getting a divorce the only way?

Samuel stared at Kathleen’s face for a while and suddenly realized that he didn’t detest living the rest of his life with 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, rushed over. “Mrs. Macari, you’re up. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

Kathleen nodded in reply.

“Okay. You should go and wash up while I heat up the food,” Maria said thoughtfully.

Kathleen had a weak stomach, so she couldn’t eat anything that was too cold.

Maria knew that better than Samuel.

With that, Kathleen turned around and went to wash up.

“I’m not going!” With that, he hung up the phone.

Kathleen was speechless.

“Kathleen?” Benjamin never thought he would bump into her at City Hall.

Kathleen was slightly taken aback. “Benjamin? Why are you here?”

“Why are you here?” Benjamin asked her the same question.

“I’m here to deal with some 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. “Have you finished dealing with your affairs?”

“No.” Kathleen sighed and said, “I have to come and deal with it next time.”

After a moment of hesitation, Benjamin asked, “It’s almost noon. May I treat you to lunch?”

“Okay.” Kathleen nodded. “But you have to let me treat you. Consider it as a token of appreciation 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 the City Hall.

“Is your leg feeling better?” Benjamin questioned.

“It’s much better,” Kathleen replied. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“That’s good to hear.” Benjamin focused on the road as he drove, and Kathleen noticed that he had a sharp jawline. “What do you want to eat?”

“Anything except for western food.” At that moment, Kathleen no longer liked cold and dry food.

“Okay.” Later, Benjamin took Kathleen to a restaurant that sold eastern food. They ordered a few simple dishes.

Then, he watched Kathleen eat affectionately.

She still munches on her food adorably like a squirrel, just like when she was a kid.

“Kathleen, what are you doing for a living?” Benjamin asked.

“I am unemployed,” 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 are going to get a divorce soon.” Kathleen knew that Benjamin was a policeman, so there was nothing that he couldn’t find out.

With just some digging around, he could easily find out about her relationship with Samuel.

“Back when your parents passed away, the Macari family took you in and raised 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 kind and perfect. Whoever marries her is lucky. I can’t believe that Samuel can be so ungrateful. How can I let anyone bully my precious Kathleen, who I adore with all my heart?
