Chapter 10 Get The Papers Signed

• Benjamin rang the doorbell after he finished his call.
• Kathleen was standing inside when the door opened.
• She had just finished her shower, and her face was still pale.
• “I bought some pizza.” Benjamin did not know how to react when he saw Kathleen's expression.
• They felt awkward meeting each other because they had experienced the same trauma.
• “Thank you.” Kathleen took a step back and allowed Benjamin to enter.
• Benjamin walked to the table and put down the pizza in his hand. “It's still hot. Eat up.”
• “Gemma went to work the night shift.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “I didn't expect her to become a nurse. She's amazing.”
• Benjamin froze for a moment. “Nothing is amazing about it. There are many nurses out there who are better than her.”
• Kathleen shook her head. “She's really amazing, especially after that matter.”
• “Have you been doing well?” Benjamin asked in a hoarse voice.
• “Yes.” Kathleen took her seat.
• Benjamin took a cigarette box out of his pocket.
• Kathleen hesitated before saying, “Benjamin, can you not smoke in the house?”
• “I'm sorry.” Benjamin felt awkward. He did that because he was too nervous.
• Kathleen ate the pizza slowly. “Thank you for saving me.”
• “Don't go out so late next time.” Benjamin's heart ached for her. “Even if you have an emergency, find someone to accompany you. Don't go out alone at night.”
• “Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
• “I called a man named Tyson, but I didn't tell him you're here. I wanted to ask you first.” Benjamin looked at her. “Should I ask him to come here?”
• Kathleen shook her head. “It's okay. It's bright outside. I can go home alone.”
• “All right.” Benjamin nodded as he sized Kathleen up.
• He had many words to say, but he held himself back.
• Who am I to interfere with her matters now? She's married, and the man named Tyson is not her husband. Is her marriage that painful to her? Is that why she has...
• Knock! Knock!
• Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
• Kathleen and Benjamin exchanged glances.
• “Is that Gemma?” Kathleen was shocked.
• “She doesn't get off until noon,” said Benjamin as he went to open the door.
• He opened the door and saw a handsome, elegant-looking man in his long black coat. He seemed unfriendly, judging from his looks.
• Benjamin recalled seeing this handsome man.
• He's Samuel Macari, the CEO of Macari Group and the head of the Macari family. He's also Old Mrs. Macari's grandson and Kathleen's husband.
• “Benjamin, who is it?” Kathleen walked to the door.
• She froze when she saw Samuel.
• He came rather quickly.
• Kathleen knew it would be a matter of time for Samuel to find her once someone contacted Tyson.
• Samuel narrowed his eyes and stared at Kathleen coldly.
• Kathleen was wearing a pink hoodie with a cartoon figure printed on it and a pair of grey sweatpants. Her hair was tied up in a bun, which made her look cute and fresh.
• She still looks like an eighteen-year-old university student though she's already twenty-three. She looks so fresh and charming.
• Instantly, anger surged within Samuel.
• How dare she stay in a stranger's house? Doesn't she know how dangerous the world is?
• “Come with me!” Samuel's voice was deep and cold.
• “How did you find this place?” There were no emotions in Kathleen's voice. “You could have just sent Tyson to pick me up. Why did you come?”
• Kathleen knew she was a nobody in Samuel's heart.
• She did not expect him to care about her, not even the slightest.
• Samuel did not like the way Kathleen was looking at her, as well as the way she spoke to him.
• He walked toward Kathleen with a dark expression.
• Kathleen was so terrified that she took a step backward and knocked onto the table behind her.
• “Be careful!” Benjamin was worried.
• Samuel held Kathleen's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and said in a low voice, “Kathleen, he's just a police officer. He's not a difficult opponent to me. Are you sure you want to argue with me here?”
• Kathleen froze.
• Samuel was threatening her again. He knew she had a soft heart.
• He knew how to use her weakness to his advantage and threaten her with someone he could make use of.
• “I'll go with you,” said Kathleen as she lowered her head.
• Kathleen was grateful that Benjamin had helped her. She could not bear to trouble him again.
• Gemma only had Benjamin, and Kathleen did not want to get the siblings involved.
• Benjamin stared at Kathleen with concern. “Kathleen, if you don't want to go back—”
• “I'm going back.” Kathleen did not look at Benjamin as he had been sensitive since he was young and could observe the emotional change in people around him quickly.
• “Thank you for saving her, Mr. Young. You will be rewarded after this.”
• “It's okay. I didn't save her for rewards,” Benjamin rejected.
• “Hmph. Mr. Young, you're an orphan, and your biological family doesn't welcome you. If you become rich one day, they will treat you differently. So keep it.” Samuel sounded really arrogant.
• “Samuel, that's enough.” Kathleen was furious.
• Who does he think he is? How could he humiliate Benjamin like that?
• Samuel stared at the woman, who was inches shorter than him. This is the first time she has thrown a tantrum at me because of a stranger.
• The more she acted that way, the angrier Samuel got.
• How is she related to this man? Why is she defending him?
• Kathleen thought Samuel was being ruthless. Furthermore, he had left her on the streets and something bad had almost happened to her.
• Kathleen pursed her lips and went straight out without turning back.
• Samuel's expression fell. Why is she acting like this?
• He went after her, and they arrived at the vehicle.
• “Kathleen, how dare you give me this attitude because of some random man?” A vicious glare appeared on Samuel's handsome face.
• “I'm not giving you an attitude because of a man. Samuel, do you know what would have happened to me if not for Benjamin?” Kathleen's eyes reddened.
• Her tears made her look pitiful and less lethal.
• “I almost got taken forcefully! Do you know what that means?” Kathleen was trembling. “If you were human, you wouldn't have left me, a woman, on the streets alone just so you could meet your mistress. Do you know what I was going through when you were flirting and snuggling with the mistress?”
• Samuel panicked. “I didn't mean it.”
• “You didn't mean it?” Kathleen's tears started streaming down her cheeks. “I've reminded you, yet you didn't bother about my safety. Even if I die, you will not even bat an eyelid.”
• “I...” Samuel knew he was wrong.
• He didn't expect her to be in danger in five minutes.
• Sniffling, she continued, “Samuel, you never cared about me. You never even tried to get to know me.”
• Samuel remained silent.
• “Samuel, I don't like to eat crabs. Do you know why I started to like them? It's because you would remove the shells for me.”
• Samuel reached out as he wanted to hug her.
• It broke his heart to see Kathleen cry.
• Kathleen pushed his hands away. “Don't touch me! You've touched Nicolette with these hands, so don't touch me!”
• Samuel was stunned, and his gaze darkened.
• “Samuel, it's not that I don't want to divorce you. Grandma is not well, and I'm afraid she can't take the news.” Kathleen wiped away her tears. “We can get a divorce and hide the news from Grandma until the right time arrives. Let's go to the City Hall to get the papers signed tomorrow.”
