Perfect Marriage with My Substitute Wife

Chapter 79

Samuel pursed his lips. Lowering his head to look at Kathleen who was in his arms, he asked, “Hmm? Are you hungry?”

“Yes, I am.” Her voice was very soft.

“The meal is ready,” he explained in a gentle tone.

“Carry me.” Having said that, Kathleen wrapped her arms around his neck. “I don’t want to walk.”

“Okay.” Samuel then lifted her up.

She was very light. It was as if she was weightless.

Kathleen held tight to his neck.

They finally arrived at the walkway. Samuel trod slowly on the soft carpet wearing a pair of shoes. Subsequently, he carried her downstairs with care.

“Sam.” Kathleen leaned her head on his shoulder. Staring at his side profile, she said, “Let’s start again.”

Samuel froze.

I asked her about it last night. That time, she avoided the question. But she finally gave me an answer today. Did something happen today?

“Sam, I feel like I’m a helpless person.” Her voice was hoarse. “You’ve gone too far before. Despite everything you’ve done, I still love you.”

Upon hearing her words, Samuel hugged her harder.

“As expected, my determination fades away the moment I meet you. It’s exactly like what is written in the song.” Her voice sounded as if she was going to cry. “I swore to myself that I wouldn’t forgive you. But

when you treated me well, my heart softened. My effort has been in vain.”

Samuel felt the pain in his heart. “I will never do anything to hurt you again in the future.”

“Sam, I will give you a chance. It will be a chance for me as well.” She sniffled. With dismay, she continued, “You aren’t allowed to make me sad again. If you do, I won’t forgive you anymore. I’m serious.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Okay,” he said gruffly.

Satisfied with his answer, Kathleen huffed. “I’m hungry. Let’s eat.”

Samuel curled his thin lips. Then, he continued to carry her downstairs into the dining room.

All her favorite dishes were already set on the table.

When he sat down, he put her on his lap.

Frowning, Kathleen uttered, “You can put me down now.”

“Be good. You can eat while sitting on my lap.” With his hands around her slim waist, Samuel hugged her from behind.

Kathleen was speechless. After a short pause, she asked, “How do I eat like that?”

“Just eat in this way.” Samuel was unwilling to let her go.

In fact, he did not think that it would be a problem to hug her while she was eating.

Kathleen knew that it would be a futile attempt to struggle. Thus, she chose to give up.

It was known that she ate slowly. Thus, Samuel made adaptions to suit her habit.

While looking at the woman in his arms, Samuel was rid of his usual cold expression.

Instead, he was very happy.

Noticing that Kathleen had put her fork down, he asked, “Do you still want to eat?”

Kathleen shook her head.

Her stomach was bloated because she had eaten too much the night before.

“Sebastian, get us a bowl of mushroom soup,” Samuel instructed.

Upon hearing the instruction, Sebastian immediately gave him the soup.

After Samuel took the bowl offered to him, he put it close to Kathleen’s mouth. “Drink this. The temperature is just about right.”

Kathleen pursed her lips.

Coaxing her slowly, Samuel said, “Be good.”

Only then did she reluctantly drank it.

Samuel was satisfied. “You behave just like a child.”

Kathleen let out a light snort as soon as she heard it.

After that, Samuel pinched her cheeks affectionately before carrying her back to their bedroom.

At that time, Nicolette was staying in an inconspicuous villa. Without her phone in her possession, she was unable to contact Samuel. She was desperate to ask him to stay with her in the place.

After pulling off the needle on the back of her hand, she got off the bed and walked out directly.

The moment she reached the huge entrance door, she was stopped by a bodyguard.

With a cold expression, he said, “Ms. Yoeger, please go back.”

Nicolette glared at him. “Do you know who you’re talking to?”

The bodyguard, however, refused to answer her question.

“Open your stupid eyes. I’m the woman Samuel likes. Also, I will be the next lady of the Macari family.” As she spoke, her face distorted in anger. “Now, I want to see Samuel. Prepare the car for me.”

Nevertheless, the bodyguard was still unperturbed. He continued to block her path.

Nicolette was furious. “I can make Samuel fire you.”

In response, the bodyguard asked coolly, “Who do you think you are?”

Nicolette barked, frowning, “How dare you use this tone to speak with me!”

“Ms. Yoeger, please stop your daydream. It’s impossible for Mr. Macari to marry you.” In a cold voice, the bodyguard added, “Mr. and Mrs. Macari have decided to hold their wedding next month. If he wants to marry you, why are they holding the wedding reception?”

What?

Stunned, Nicolette asked, “Did you say that Samuel and Kathleen will be holding their wedding?”

“That’s right. Everyone in Jadeborough has received the wedding invitation card,” the bodyguard said.

No, this is impossible! How can Samuel be willing to hold the wedding? That’s right. It must be Kathleen who forced him to do it! She must have gained his sympathy by using the excuse that she had lost her

two children. He, meanwhile, must have relented because he thinks he owed her. Hah! What a cunning woman!

“Ms. Yoeger, please go back.” The bodyguard remained impassive.

“Listen to me. It’s impossible for Samuel to marry Kathleen. She must have threatened him.” It looked like Nicolette had lost her cool. “You need to follow my instruction now. Take me to see Samuel. I’m the only one who can bring him back to his senses. After everything is settled, I will reward you with a huge sum of money. Quick!”

Having said that, she dashed outside.

Flabbergasted, the bodyguard dragged her back. “Ms. Yoeger, I think you are the one who is very sick.”

“Let me go!” Nicolette struggled to release herself from his grasp. “You are a bunch of bad people. How dare you prevent me from being with Samuel. He will never let you go off easily!”

At that moment, a doctor finally arrived at the scene.

He instructed a nurse to hold Nicolette tight.

Then, he gave her a sedative.

Subsequently, Nicolette slumped to the ground. She slowly lost consciousness.

I refuse to stay quiet. It was difficult to be able to achieve my dream. How can I be hindered here? Over the past few years, I endured endless humiliation just so that I can marry Samuel. It’s also the reason why I have never set my eyes on any other guy. In fact, it is easy for me to get married if I want. But no other man can surpass Samuel. They can’t give me what I want. Only Samuel can do it! I need to get Samuel back!

That night, Samuel made a call to the villa while he was in the study.

He furrowed his brow slightly and asked, “How is her recovery going?”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Macari. She is doing very well after the bone marrow transplant,” the doctor replied.

Samuel was indifferent. “After her condition gets better, you can come back here. I will instruct someone to send her overseas.”

The doctor hesitated for a while. “Mr. Macari, Ms. Yoeger has been asking for you lately. Thus, we keep sedating her every time so that she can remain quiet. But you also know that there will be a lot of side effects.”

“Do I need to concern myself with this?” Samuel asked coldly.

Upon hearing his words, the doctor was awkward.

“You only need to keep her quiet.” Samuel was unperturbed.

“Yes, Sir. Understood,” the doctor quietly responded.

Then, Samuel hung up the phone.

He had a frown on his face.

Previously, Nicolette had attracted his attention because he had been saved by her.

She was the illegitimate child of the Yoeger family. Thus, the family members were not the only ones who did not like her. In fact, everyone in Jadeborough did not like her because of her mother.

Samuel knew that she was unloved and unwanted.

It could be because he was constantly reminded of her piteous life. There was also a possibility that it was because she was his savior. Thus, he had given her a lot of attention.

At that time, he was not interested in any other women.

Even though Nicolette was an uninteresting person, she was pitiful. Hence, he decided to be in a relationship with her.

Unexpectedly, they were unable to be together in the end.
