Perfect Marriage with My Substitute Wife

Chapter 75

Based on Kathleen’s understanding of Samuel’s personality, she thought he would lose it.

Unexpectedly, Samuel merely looked at her coldly as his rough fingers cupped her face domineeringly. Immediately after that, he kissed her deeply.

Kathleen wanted to avoid his touch.

However, Samuel stopped her with his other hand and pressed her back into his embrace.

He didn’t like how Kathleen rejected him and refused his touch.

Although Samuel was upset at her actions, he couldn’t order Kathleen to accept him.

That didn’t matter to him because he had decided to spend the rest of his life with her even if she treated him coldly and pushed him away.

He would do anything to make her forgive him.

Samuel kissed Kathleen for about five minutes passionately.

Because of that, Kathleen’s legs went soft.

Satisfied, Samuel carried her with one hand and placed her on his leg.

When it came to strength, Kathleen could only accept her fate.

As Samuel was strong and Kathleen was weak, there was nothing she could do about the situation.

She could only sit on Samuel’s leg and let him dry her hair all he wanted.

Kathleen’s hair was like her personality, both soft and smooth.

In fact, she had always been a cute and obedient girl.

Samuel’s warm chest leaned toward Kathleen. He placed his lips by her ear and said, “I know you are still angry at me, and you can’t forgive me now. But that’s okay. I’ve already decided to attach myself to you for life. Hence, no matter what happens in the future, I will not let go of you.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Kathleen felt bitter.

Why wasn’t he like this in the past? Why is he so nice to me after my heart stopped beating for him?

She remained silent.

The quiet Kathleen looked like a beautiful doll.

“After your body recovers a few days later, we will hold a wedding.” Samuel let out a deep sigh. “Kate, I will slowly make up for everything I’ve owed you.”

Hold a wedding?

Kathleen stared at him in disbelief.

Samuel curled his lips. “When the time comes, we will choose the wedding dress together.”

After Kathleen heard his words, her head hurt. That was because she didn’t want a wedding.

“Your hair is dry.” Samuel put down the hair dryer and carried Kathleen. Soon after, he placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

While he was doing that, Kathleen fixed her gaze on him. “Samuel, I’m tired.”

“If you are exhausted, you should sleep,” said Samuel straightforwardly.

“What I mean is I’m mentally tired.” Kathleen didn’t want to trigger him. “Can we not hold a wedding? I don’t have the energy and the mood for this.”

She had just lost two unborn children.

It was not true that she was not upset. She just didn’t want to show her emotions.

Samuel got closer to her. With a low and hoarse voice, he said, “But I want to.”

At his answer, Kathleen frowned. “This is not what you used to say.”

“Just like what you’ve said, that was before.” Samuel pinched Kathleen’s soft cheeks. “Don’t worry. You won’t feel tired. You merely need to dress up and attend the wedding as my beautiful wife.”

“Can you show some respect for my opinion?” asked Kathleen helplessly.

“All right.” Samuel looked at her dotingly. “If you have any special requests, you can tell me. I’ll grant all your wishes.”

Kathleen pursed her lips.

In reality, that wasn’t what she really meant.

She was sure Samuel knew the meaning behind her words.

However, he chose to ignore her.

It didn’t cause any impact even if she did express her point of view.

As expected, nothing had changed.

Samuel’s character was still the same. He was still in control of the relationship.

That left Kathleen having a headache.

A few days later, Kathleen was finally allowed to discharge from the hospital.

She went to the ward next door and bid goodbye to Gemma.

The latter still needed to rest and recuperate in bed for some time.

Samuel hired two caregivers to look after Gemma.

He would bear all the expenses.

“Are you going to be discharged?” Gemma lay on her bed.

Kathleen was in her own clothes.

Previously, she wore hospital gowns.

Kathleen nodded. “That’s right. The doctor says I can be discharged from the hospital.”

“Great.” Gemma smiled and said, “Congratulations on being able to leave the hospital. I might be able to discharge after some time.”

Kathleen sat down. “Gemma, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”

“Oh, stop apologizing. My ears are numb from hearing that.” Gemma slowly continued, “I will save anyone in that situation. Hence, you don’t have to feel bad about it.”

Kathleen pursed her lips and expressed her gratitude, “Thank you.”

“You silly girl.” Gemma pinched Kathleen’s face. “Haha. Your cheek is so soft. No wonder everybody likes pinching it.”

Kathleen was speechless.

“Don’t pay the situation any mind. It’s all water under the bridge now.” Gemma pulled her lips into a thin line as she asked solemnly, “Have you and Samuel reconciled?”

“I’ve rejected him.” Kathleen shook her head.

“And after that?” questioned Gemma.

“He disagrees. Besides that, he wants to hold a belated wedding ceremony with me.” Kathleen’s expression became dark as she continued, “He doesn’t care about my thoughts.”

“Samuel has been a blessed one since birth. He has everything. An individual like this is arrogant and self-centered. Thus, it is hard for him to learn how to respect you.” Gemma pointed out the reality straightforwardly.

Hearing that, Kathleen bit her lip. “That’s because I’m too weak.”

“Ordinary women can’t possibly stand his attitude.” Gemma sighed as she continued, “He is Samuel Macari, and he is no ordinary man. If you two want to continue living together in peace, one of you has to give in.”

Kathleen remained silent because she thought Gemma had a point.

Between Samuel and I, I’m the one who always compromises, and Samuel is the person who doesn’t bother about anything.

That was all due to Samuel’s personality.

As they were talking, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Samuel walked into the room.

He wore a black coat. Under it was his three-piece suit. His vest was gray, and it matched the other garments fashionably. One could see that the outfit was immaculately put together.

It made him look cold and charming.

“Gemma, I’ve got to go.” Kathleen stood up. “If anything comes up, you can always call me. Let’s keep in touch.”

“All right.” Gemma nodded.

Samuel draped the white coat in his hand on Kathleen’s shoulder. After wrapping his hand around her, they headed toward the door.

Staring at them, Gemma heaved a sigh.

Kathleen is indeed on the passive side whenever Samuel is around. Moreover, Samuel doesn’t seem to realize the graveness of the matter. He can’t win her heart back if he continues to treat her this way.

Samuel held on to Kathleen as they took the elevator downstairs.

The wind was cold that winter.

Hence, Samuel held Kathleen in his embrace tightly.

After Tyson drove the car over, Samuel carried Kathleen into the car.

In the car, Samuel ordered Tyson to increase the car’s temperature.

Meanwhile, Kathleen’s tiny, pale, and exquisite face was expressionless.

She looked like the lifeless bare trees outside.

As for Samuel, he continued wrapping his arms around her, unwilling to let go.

“Drive,” Samuel said in a cold tone.

Tyson nodded and started the car engine.

At that, they left the hospital.

It was warm in the car. Kathleen started to feel sleepy.

Noticing that, Samuel stared at Kathleen’s fair face as he curled up his lips. “You can sleep for a while. We will arrive at our destination soon.”

Kathleen shook her head.

I’ll be doomed if I continue sleeping.

With that thought, she looked out the window.

Shortly after, Kathleen knitted her brows and questioned, “Are we going to the Macari residence?”

This isn’t the way back to the condominium.

At her question, Samuel smiled mysteriously. “You’ll know where we are heading in a while.”

Kathleen was puzzled.

Soon, the path became different from what she remembered.

It doesn’t look like we are going to the Macari residence either.

The car drove on the path for a while. Moments later, it started climbing the slope.

It then stopped in front of a large gate decorated with magnificent engraving.

The gate slowly opened.

Tyson drove the car into the place.

After entering the venue, a bamboo forest appeared in front of them.

As they continued their journey, they could see a vast lawn.

They passed through the lawn and saw a spacious courtyard.

At last, they arrived at a baroque-style mansion.

Kathleen blinked her eyes and asked, “Where are we?”
